This morning I bustled around in my room with great inspiration to write a monolid makeup post. A series of shots were taken with my Nikon S520, but a defect that I thought I could handle with a little skill wound me up with NO usable shots. 

KNNCB.

No makeup post then. Even a simple test shot also blur. Shit.

But then again, my skin has come a long way! I don’t have to be self conscious of blackheads and cystic acne since I started treatment. Thanks EPI Derma Formulation (will post bout this salon in future).

Back to my camera problem, I have already suspected a problem since my bro handed me the camera. The Nikon S520’s motor was extremely noisy, and when it’s switched on you can actually hear the motor inside working furiously even when you’re not working it. To add insult to injury, my Sony Ericsson W800i, a phone, can focus better than a REAL camera.

It’s not exactly the latest model in the market so I cut it some slack and dismissed the problem. On one ocassion, I happened to pass by the camera shop and asked them to inspect my camera. Upon inspection, they diagonosed Mr Nikon with a lens defect. It can’t focus properly. Le sigh. And I was leaving for India the next day, so I didn’t have time to get it fixed. =(

I thought I could handle this little flaw if I took corrective measurements. BUT NOOOOOOOOO, my Nikon wouldn’t give me the time of the day and behave. DAMN. So I brought a dysfunctional camera with me. Sigh.

I dunno what’s up with me. I seem to have the most rotten luck with my electronics. My Dell Vostro 1400, for example, had a screen defect TWICE before I got a satisfactory replacement. And the second defect was not a defect at all. It was simply because of an unexplained phenomenon that drove me into so much agony, I just NEEDED Dell to replace it. 

Ever heard of a laptop screen that makes your eyes tired? Bet all laptops do. But my previous screen was lethal. 15 minutes and you’ll feel your eyes dying. When I called Dell for a replacement with the above reason they thought I was trying to be funny. I wasn’t. Even my bro agreed that any session with that screen for more than 30 minutes and you’ll feel like doing LASIK without anaesthesia.

Time to shelve my ego and use dad’s Sony instead. What’s done is done - My pics are ruined. A simple snapshot can take forever to focus properly / 101 attempts before I get it right, so the pics you see in Chaborkia.com are precious. I sincerely hope you enjoy them.
