Machines Boycott Me :(

Oh gosh, what a day I've been through!

Today's afternoon, I was shocked to find out that my 2 little kids have successfully spoiled my sister laptop! The screen keeps jumping up and down, up and down with all the blurry words which I can't even read the error message. To make it worse, this laptop isn't mine, it's my sister un-used laptop which I "borrow" all this while.

I have no choice but used my husband's ancient atuk laptop. Atuk laptop atuk speed

Then, the printer aka scanner also decided to take a break together with the laptop. OK, nvm, I have a backup printer. Then I realised that the atuk laptop didn't have the backup printer software and it's DVD-ROM already retired long long ago. Haiz~~~

So I went to computer shop, spent RM6.00 just to print 3 sheets of A4 size papers to signed and scanned them back in pdf file. The guy told me print 1 sheet RM1 and scan 1 sheet RM1 *sweating*

Then when I came back home at night, checking my fax machine. I couldn't believe my eyes that it's also stuck! Luckily, this one I managed to kao-tim, but have to asked the sender to re-fax the documents tomorrow.

I hope my sister laptop can be fixed, or else my plan of getting a new camera will be changed to getting a new laptop. What a day struggling with the machines.

I've got at least 10 sheets of paper to be printed tomorrow, and here goes another RM10 again!

Help! Semi-pro Camera

There's lots of experts here, therefore, I wanted to ask for your opinion.

I just know how to operate those digital camera, but I always wanted to get a better camera for snapping my kids' photos.

The lady at the electrical fair introduce me 2 semi-pro camera:

Canon model G12 RM1799, 10MP, 5X zoom, HS system, hybrid IS

Canon model SX30IS RM1599, 14.1MP, 35X zoom, 24mm wide angle

Lense & flash can be added to G12 while SX30IS couldn't. G12 is also much lighter and compact than SX30IS. Personally, I like SX30IS, cause it's all in 1 (I don't think I'll buy extra lense or flash) and it's cheaper.

Help help, do you think it's ok for a newbie like me to get a semi-pro camera and 'play' with it? If you know other models of semi-pro camera which you think it's better, can you recommend it to me?

Thank you so much!
