Tribute to my coolest EXILIM

Time to pay tribute to my camera.
It is not working very well after four good years.
I dont think they retail its battery anymore, the battery is refusing to be charged.
Most of the pictures on this blog is taken with this ultra sleek camera.
After 4 years, 3.2 mega pixel is dated.
Some mobile phones now matches or exceeds this.
I love it for its compactness, for its slimness and it fits into all my small bags to be carried with me every day.
I prided it because I always whipped it out everywhere I went. I took "every day" photos, seemingly insignificant events as it was so small I carried it with me every day.
That was before phones had high res cameras built-in.
If it was still retailing, I would buy it again. (!) yes, you can count on it.
I dont care that there is no optical zoom. i really dont.

You know, I "re-bought" the same model of hairdryer just before it went out of production.
That was after 3 or 4 years when the first one broke down and I was very lucky to have bought the remaining stock that they were clearing. I should have bought one more to keep, but I guess electrical items may not work if kept unused for long. I am keeping my fingers crossed on the one i'm still using because it passed 6 years and counting. Gosh i am crazy. before you think i am crazy, i must justify that it has this big, round thingy where you could "volumize" your hair. It works like a big hairbrush and for me, it is practical cos i dont comb my hair. (!) ya, so there goes my secret.

Back to my Casio.

It was the coolest when it was first in the market.
I am a sucker for all things slim, besides my figure.
I have a "film watch" and coincidentally, it is a Casio.
hummm, to think about it now, it may not be coincidence.
Maybe Casio, like me, has a fetish for all things slim.
The watch got its name "film" not for any visual or filming feature but becase it is slim like an un-rolled film. dont laugh, it is not lame. I am wearing it for nine years and still counting!
but two months back, the face broke. cracked. it was lined across the face and looked bad.
the watch was very worn and dirty-looking but i love it. I should have taken a picture of my beloved watch... Now that it returned after servicing, with a new glass face and new straps, it looks and feel VERY different. To be fair, i must say that the feeling is GONE.
I hesitated before i threw the pack that contained the old straps.
That night, i decided to put the old strap back but my husband had emptied the waste!
I dont think I could go dig it from the rubbish chute but it sure crossed my mind.
oh gosh, i had to LET GO.
I think i am mad.
I honestly miss my watch.
