sad sad news

for the polaroid lovers around the world......those who loved the fact that you can see what you shot on your camera moments after before digital invaded the film world... its official, polaroid has ceased production.

"Polaroid has already quietly halted production of instant cameras. "We stopped making commercial-type cameras about 18 to 24 months ago, and we stopped making consumer cameras about a year ago," said Beaudoin."

its time for me to stock up, scout for the little stores thats still selling and stock up. i would want polaroids for special moments, it has this character that no other cameras can achieve even the existing fuji-instax range. the classic feel is just super sexy. its an icon of growing up. polaroids has been with us while we grow up, taking those passport photos, or fun2 fotos. i still have a foto of me & mom at science center with t-rex at the dinosaur exhibition. i still have the foto where my fren snapped of me and my vespa, both has yellowed thru age but still it is sexy to look at, no other cams can give that feeling. its just sad that they stopped production, why must they surrender to defeat? there's still polaroid lovers around the world. looks like when the films totally run out, i'll switch to fuji, the camera yamusama yone is using. that will replace the polaroid in a way but not totally.

for those who knows which shops still selling polaroid films, kindly tell me cos i wanna stock up.

was suppose to go to triple-d, uncle mike invited all lomotioners there for the lion dance event. he invited the lion dance crew and us there to what else but shoot fotos. i woke up early at 10am but slept again and end up waking up at 1pm, a little to late to go so i decided not to. id be a good boy, chill at home, do as much revision as i can and probably check out if miao lan is open and send in my roll of sensia400. then to mom's place, chill there and back again to revisions. i have to discipline myself, divide time....like yest, i resisted rashid's offer to shoot sunset with his gf at labrador bcos i already am going skating at night and i promised myself i will start on bio and i did...though im still less than half way thru but i think im ok. i dunno if i can get A for bio bcos this time round, its microbiology, studying bacterias, viruses and all the naked eye couldn't see.....tough one.

okla, wanna shower, then makan before doing what im supposed to do...
