Breath in, Breath out..

I'm so frustrated. No furious. No! Mad, angry, outrageous! But in actual, sad. I want Lomography's Diana F + Kit Set. Plus, the instant back set too. Sob sob. I want to work. I want money. I want income, so that I don't have to depend on my Suami all the time. It feels sucky when I have to ask him for money every time I want to buy something. Come on, I used to like worked for 5 years and earn my own ka-ching and buy anything I want without having and guilt or doubt (except when I was in a debate to whether to buy the dress in MNG or not as an investment.)

Gosh, today was like supposed to be a simple day outing with Suami. We wanted to check out the Lomography store at Sheung Wan (I did research and found out bout it online.) We had our usual brunch at Flying Pan at SoHo, and then decided to walk it off to Sheung Wan by depending on the signage of HK and my Nokia's photo taken map from the Internet. Smart huh. But we did end up finding it. And it was not that far from Central. Really.

My sister brought up the topic about Lomo. No actually, my junior from high school who came to HK following her husband for work, took a photo of us (while we were heading back home to Central from Tung Chung - Citygate) And took our photo using a POLAROID. The old school kinda Polaroid. Damnit! Suami and I always wanted one. So our conversation on that day onwards was just bout Polaroid & Ebay. Ever since that day, I was just browsing through online about Polaroids & films (when I should be busy finishing my wedding selection album. I'm an effing lazy women!!)

Suddenly, one of the page linked me to another and another, and I stumbled upon Lomo & instant pictures. (Very linked.) I also not only LOVE Polaroid old school camera, but Im also CURIOUS with Lomo cameras. I remembered those days, when one of my college girlfriend called Wasabi, bought one and she took photos and developed it and photos came out cool and experimental. But never have I looked at it seriously as I didn't have money to buy them anyways. So it was left somewhere in my brain/memories. So, where was I..?

Oh yeah, I read the write up about having both of best world, having a LOMO and feel of the instant POLAROID like camera. And that's when DIANA F+ came into my heart. I feel in love with her the minute I open the website. Pretty, pretty DIANA. Oh, you captured my heart.

*SLAP!!*

My sister from Aussie messaged me that day asking me if (god really planned this well) Lomo's film in HK is cheaper or not. She wanted me to survey if there is any Lomo store here in HK and all. And bam! I was like, yeah, there's a Lomo store in HK. And that was a STRONG reason to drag - no, drag sounds forceful, persuade Suami to go and take a sneak peak of the store. Plus, I've been talking to my Suami (you know, topics to discuss while having dinner/lunch :P) bout DIANA and he was interested to know more. In a way, I thank Allah for giving me a man who do have command interest as I do.

And again, the day was on our side, it was 10-20% off for FILMS!! Since it was Easter Day. Coolio. Once entered, I was blown away by the many spoilt choices of Lomo. Plus I was really BLOWN AWAY cause I know NO SHIT bout Lomo. Hahahahahahahahahah! I was dumb-founded. Not to make it like we are that dumb, I need to make it look like, we are smart and "INTERESTED" to know more bout it. Like we have knowledge bout it (since I read online most of the time & Suami knows one or two things). So first thing, we asked regarding bout the films my sister wanted and nope, they go non of what she wanted. But managed to buy the basic ones like 400 & 800 iso lomo 35mm film. For daylight & night time. And that's when I mentioned her name... "DIANA...." and I was officially introduced to her. Oh, you beautiful plastic made sq. body.

Now, I know a bit or so about DIANA. Again, I was BLOWN AWAY - this time it was - EXPLODED when the sales person show me the Deluxe Kit...! Taa-daa, it said. Buy me. I'm worth it. And it was. It has DIANA F+ with flash, 5 lenses, 35mm back, some fancy strap, cable release collar and other cool shiat. heh heh heh. It was tempting.

I took a looooooooong time to decide. But managed to breath in, and breath out and let go. But you know it will bug you, cause you soooooo want it. Therefore, basically, I want it. Now all I need to do is to research properly, question myself if it's an investment. grrrrr!

Thank god we didn't go to Polaroid store at Causeway Bay. If not. Memang naik giler... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
