Conundrum
Which digicam to get with a budget of $550, inclusive of accessories such as carrying case, memory card and replacement battery?
I'm rather partial to Sony's T300, it's soooo pretty and touchscreeny. Seems easy to use too. Comes with a pretty hefty price tag though, especially considering I can get another digicam which can take less noisy images. The reviews online deem it shiteous in terms of image quality which is ultimately what cameras are for in the first place. And the Memory Stick is bloody expensive, compared to the SD cards used by most other cameras. The money would probably be better spent on a beginner's DSLR.
Then there are other models by Canon, Nikon and Olympus which are rather decent that's turning this into such a headache. Their offerings aren't as pretty though :D
And also! The T700 is due to launch in Sept '08. The reviews are considerably more favourable for that one but it's sure to be costlier than the T300.
On the other hand, I might unearth good deals at Comex '08. Just have to brave the insane crowd, it'll probably be like a sauna in there.
So pweeeeety! Nvm, here's hoping that browsing Best Denki / Harvey Norman / Courts later will come to fruition.

Tuition is hard work and parents are a funny bunch.
Getting some help for your child 6 weeks before the big paper and expecting a miracle in the league of the parting of the Red Sea? That's just mental.
With that exception, I find tutoring sorta oooookay so far. Sure, sometimes the kid drives me mad when he still doesn't get the explanation when I've cracked my head trying to find the next best solution for him to chew on but it proves rewarding when he finally gets it. Then there's this thrill about helping the kid achieve the desired grades. I'm probably gonna be more psyched about the PSLE's this year than my first tutee. To me, my cred and sense of satisfaction depend on her grades.
Yep, no pressure.
Part of me wants to go back to the well-paying slack office job that could hardly be called work but the current job's a quaint challenge for me. I think I'm gonna stick to this one for a bit more.

NEVER MIND THE BUZZCOCKS!!!
I hereby pledge my undying affection to Simon, Bill and Phill.
Oh and Ryan "I created Live 8" Jarman is adorably funny.
Ryan: If there's any legal implications involved in this, then, like, I invented Live 8, you see. This is not actually a lie. We were in the recording studio recording our album.I found Bob Geldof's mobile phone number while we were in the recording studio so I sent him a text message just saying "Three words, mate - Live Aid 2". Lo and behold six months later Live 8 comes out. It's just nice to know that you've made a little bit of difference, that's all. It really is.
