Hello World! I just bought a Red Holga 120CFN today! For many of you who are clueless to what this wonderous gift from God is, it's a toy camera. And it's S$125. Yes, but it's a cheaper alternative to the Diana+ which is  S$170. Both are members of the Lomography clan. Well, it's also a cheaper alternative to the Canon 50D with 18-200mm lens kit I'm hoping to buy which is about S$2700.

I'm captivated by the misty, soft-focussed, double-exposed, vignetted images produced by these cameras. It shows you what the world should look like.

Will be bringing it to New York next week and will post the pictures thereafter.

In an attempt to burn off PEF (Post-examination Fats) that Jonathan so likens with, i toured around Duxton Hill, Little India and walked to Bugis. 30D died on me throughout always focussing the image but the shutter does not go off. So no pictures babe but 2 kilos gone.

The end of "O" levels draws near. 12 down, 2 left to go. I feel so liberated. After this, I'll be justified to say "screw school!", for once.
