[2005 08 12] - [Fri]

[1135] - Office
So happy for Mei. She got A1 for Chinese. At least it is a load of everyone’s minds. Hopefully, it is some good news for the family too. So far, the camera has lived up to its expectations. The battery life is a little flat though. It required recharging after 1 day of use. Although yesterday was an extraordinary day of high usage. I purposely brought the instructions manual along so that I can make full use of the camera.
[1540] - Office
The movies are beginning to take up space on my PC. With the 640 (Fine) mode, it is about 17 MB/minute even with MP4 compression. Must either get more storage or be more selective on the movies to keep.

LOG
[0015] - Had a good talk with Kiat outside his home. He's very busy with filming now. It is expected to last for another 2 weeks. He was bitching about some of his colleagues on the set. Humphrey also came out to play. Kiat's sister is overseas again. Haven't been home for days.
[0115] - Finally found out how to change the photo and video quality on the T7. I just need to press the 'Thrash' button. It doubles up as a quality changer in 'shooting' mode.
[0645] - Alarm clock woke me up but I went back to sleep.
[0700] - Dreamt about going out with Daddy & Mummy. I can't pinpoint the place and what we did. But Daddy was grumbling about something. I somehow knew it was my last night with Daddy and I took the chance to be with him for the last time. I cried and woke up.
[0715] - Granny is still in bed. Had Maggi Assam Laksa for breakfast.

[1200] - Took some video with the T7 using 640 (Fine) mode. It is damn clear. But eats up a lot of memory space. 43 MB just for a 34-second clip. I compressed it to MP4 and it became 8 MB. Still manageable.
