Back in the Scene
It seems like I only blog whenever I make a major purchase.
Its my Sony Ericsson C902 5 Megapixel CyberShot phone this time!!
I've to thank Spunkice and her boundless generosity in lending me her sturdy (I dropped it 1001 times) and dependable, albeit very old, Nokia (dunno what model) phone for almost a year.
I'm so proud of my resistance to temptation to just buy any "form-over-function" phone, and waited patiently for the much anticipated SE C902. I heard about its arrival to our shores in Feb. It arrived in July but was too expensive for a poor and underpaid auditor like me to afford. So, I waited and waited and waited...till yesterday!!
Got it for about $650 without line.
The camera is so fantastic that I think I do not have to get a point and shoot (P&S) camera after all!
My Pentax P&S is due for retirement. The pictures are increasingly grainy. But it has served me well through these years. I'm not complaining and I still believe that Pentax makes great P&S cameras.

Disclaimer for my phone and Niko. All the pictures on my blog are resized oddly and manually. Hence the distorted pixels. They originally look fab on screen or when developed!
The long wait...
My Running Mates for the race.
At Daddy's place. A.K.A Our Baggage Counter for the run. Hence the odd backdrop.
I've no gripes about the photos but a lot to complain about the race.
It was the longest wait ever for the race to flag off. Delayed by about half an hour.
Some parts of the route were ridiculously narrow...and the organisers have the brains to put a water point at a very narrow walkway. Precious minutes were wasted "queuing" for a sip, or merely just wanting to get past.
I'm not going to offer any excuses, but I clocked one of the worst ever timings in my life for the run. And its no fault of Ruby's.
Utterly disappointing.
Anyway, it time to put the past behind and look forward to upcoming races!
I've been very tied up with trainings and games for the past week. Its has been an alternate between basketball and netball through the week.
I'm playing the Semis for basketball tmw, and hopefully the Finals on Wed. Its then Netball trg on Thurs and the tournament on Sat.
And futsal end of the month!
It feels like I'm still in school, but I'm not young anymore!! My joints are aching and I'm getting too dark to be healthy for my aging skin.
HamSam's supportive words of encouragement for my games: Would the firm be paying you even $10k if you bring back the Gold?
