Relapsed yesterday, and slid into another (and still relapsing) now - just as I’m about to head to school. So I’m just sitting around, waiting for the heart palpitations and giddiness to stop before I actually do make my way down.

Anyway, I’d love to introduce my new toy - a Canon DSLR.

An EOS 450D Digital Rebel, to be exact. (Specifications here.) My little family now comprises two babies; my Canon Powershot SX100 IS, named Mojojo. And now this new fellow which I named Mickey.

Mickey and Mojojo.

Sounds like a formidable pair, huh?

Mickey is no mouse though. He’s huge … double the size of Mojojo. Mojojo suddenly looks very puny and small, although Mojojo is no mouse either.

Mojojo has served me well the past one year plus. He isn’t a DSLR, but was close to being one. I’ve learned a lot about shutter speeds and aperture settings with Mojojo. Plus, Mojojo took excellent pictures even on automatic mode (back in the beginning days when I was too lazy to explore the vast array of manual functions Mojojo had to offer).

Mojojo impressed everybody. My family, my friends. Even my fellow photography tech geeks who owned DSLRs themselves fawned over Mojojo, which made me a really happy girl, proud of her little baby.

So now with Mickey around, I’m going to ensure Mojojo doesn’t start getting an inferiority complex, non?

Mickey came along with a huge, padded Canon shoulder sling bag which had two additional compartments for lenses (of which I still have none at the moment, and am still hunting). Mojojo is presently ’sleeping’ on one of them, next to Mickey, so as to not induce any sibling rivalry.

HEHEHEHE.

Even I amuse myself with how I attribute human personalities to inanimate tech gadgets.

I can’t wait until I’m better so that I can bring Mickey out for a test run. No wait, I still need to look around for a good set of second-hand lenses.

Feeling less dizzy now - so I shall head over to school slowly. (A ten minute walk to contend with in order to get to the bus stop outside.)

Okay ah! Mummy’s going to school now ah. You continue to stay with Mojojo okay? Don’t bully Mojojo ah! Be good boys ah!

And Mojojo, you’ve not been relegated to second place. I still love you. (:
