I've become so.....

I have this freakin' song running through my head and I don't know exactly why. Doesn't help that I have it running on loop on my iTunes......

Anyway, I've been itching to get myself a good enough camera as it seems kind of weird for me to be part of the photography team training the students in my school and yet not own his own camera. Besides finger's getting the whole snappity-snap syndrome. And it wasn't that I haven't ever had a digi-cam. I used to have two. One which I bought from a friend and another which was given to me, both around the same time. Needless to say, one proved unable to withstand my usage (and I don't blame it, some cameras just can't take moisture...cough) and another I gave away coz it was just too much of a sissy cam for me to use without having the heeby-jeebies.

Have my eye specifically on the Canon Powershot A series of cameras.

"[sighs] Look what you made me do, look what I made for you
Knew if I paid my dues, how will they pay you
When you first come in the game, they try to play you
Then you drop a couple of hits, look how they wave to you
From Marcy to Madison Square
To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years (yea)
As fate would have it, Jay's status appears
to be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye
When I come back like Jordan, wearin the 4-5
It ain't to play games witchu
It's to aim at you, probably maim you
If I owe you I'm blowin you to smithereeens
Cocksucker take one for your team
And I need you to remember one thing (one thing)
I came, I saw, I conquered
From record sales, to sold out concerts
So muh'fucker if you want this encore
I need you to scream, 'til your lungs get sore"

The Canon Powershot A590 IS really caught my eye.

Not really the best picture but I guess that'll have to do. But I definitely do want it in black. Doesn't have the depth of zoom that I like but price wise though, its an affordable SG$370. Plus its a familiar tried and tested model for me features wise, especially for the things I'm going to be putting it through. Affordable if I had that kind of cash in the first place. Well I do, but I guess eating, drinking and several other activities of daily sustenance take precedence. And though I would love to get those cameraman's cameras, I doubt anything close to SG$2000 would fall into my lap any time soon.

"I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take"

Does my itch at getting a camera far outweigh that of getting an iPod of my own? Most definitely, at least for now. I already have my brother's iPod to leech off from time to time. Besides, I'd rather make my first iPod a touch. Works well as a PDA, plus it can access the internet wirelessly, so....yeah, it'd definitely be my first iPod. And that whole thing about getting my own MacBook? Well, goes without saying that it'll take a lot more time. Unless I somehow get a novel writing contract for my unfinished manuscripts....heh.

"I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you"

One step at a time I guess.
