    My days, not yours.

    First toy camera :)
    Monday, August 2, 2010.

    Life's been a huge snooze for me because I have not been doing anything productive at all apart from eating and playing games on my iPhone. Weather in Melbourne isn't helping much either. It has been raining for a few days and it's pretty annoying because the rain here is more of like a heavy drizzle rather than the usual downpour we have in Malaysia. What can I do here? Nothing much really. I've been slacking so much it's not even funny anymore! Having two units in one semester sucks! I need more workload to fill my empty days.

    Anyway, in the previous entry I talked about a little toy that I picked up in KL before I left. It is a toy TLR (Twin Lens Reflex) camera that requires self-assembly. I finished putting it together few nights ago and I took about 2.5 hours including searching for translated English manual plus Youtubing to guide me through certain parts. I think experts would only take about 0.5 to 1 hour. Lol. It was a very fun process I must say. It gave me an idea of how the shutter works and also how the image is projected on the viewfinder.

    I took a few test shots but nothing too serious yet because the weather has not been kind to me. This camera works best during the day when the sun is shining but every time when I bring this baby out it tends to rain. As I'm writing this post now the sun is glaring at me but I'm not fit to go out today as I'm suffering from the once-in-a-month pain. Lol. I'm quite eager to find out how the pictures will look like after they have been developed. I need at least 15 more exposures before I could roll this film up! I'll definitely post pictures taken with this baby when I have them :)


    The delicious pasta that I cooked... hohoho

    The magazine + TLR kit

    The parts!

    And voila...! The finished product.
