The Purple Sky

"Yesterday is but today's memory, tomorrow is today's dream" - Khalil Gibran






yeay. 2 days break and i'm back from BAKO.

it was a FUNtastic trip, minus the part where my baby - i.e my new camera is involved.

the park - BAKO - or taman negara bako is located about 35 minutes drive from kuching. there, u'll arrive at a jetty where a 20 minutes boat ride will take u to the cape where the park is located. boat ride ok. so bagi aku yg jarang2 dapat berenggang kaki dgn tanah daratan - its quite natural that i'd be quite excited la kan. so throughout the whole boat ride my fingers were all busy snapping pictures nonstop - langit, bumi, pokok, pakcik motobot, (n buaya) - up to a point when i noticed my camera lens were coated with water drops - from the splashes of water. haaihhh..takut ok.

a normal human reflex would be to wipe off those water drops la kan, and thats what i did jugak - as careful as can be. *wipe*wipe*

however, what i noticed subsequently after (actually dah lama jugak baru perasan) was that my pictures all became hazy and blurry...mcm dalam alam kayangan gitu. see this;


wani dalam percutian kayangan..


for me who was not very familiar with the buttons and knobs on my new baby thought; - i must've accidentally changed or set the wrong settings somehow to cause just that.

i tried pressing here and there..tukar this and that..but whatever i did, the results still the same. depress gle. later that night, both me n wani came to a conclusion - since every other pathology has been ruled out - it couldn't be anything else but the lens.

alangkah sedih dan pilunye hati mengenangkan nasib diri dan baby..(mainly because my bako trip did not yield any nice pics, and secondly disebabkan umur baby yg masih muda - jaundice pun belum habis lagi..)

so today we made a trip to the hospital a.k.a photo shop where i first met baby.

brader kedai gamba: so apa jadi?
me: lens masuk air waktu naik bot
brader kedai gamba: waaaaa... ada byk ka masuk air? ada masuk body ka?
me: tak. cuma percik2 air aja. lens aja.
brader kedai gamba: mmmm.... bukak lens protector sambil *wipe*wipe* bende alah tu..


(maser tu aku dah nak tepuk dahi dah..sbb: )

A. aku lupe yg aku letak lens protector time beli haritu.

B. penat je aku wipe protector tu dgn penuh hati-hati thinking it was the lens that i was wiping - takut rosakkan lens or something.. and had i remembered that i had a lens protector all along, mestilah aku akan lap dgn sungguh2 sampai kilat. which was what brader tu buat and within 30 seconds gambar blurry dan hazy hilang dan wani pun balik daripada alam kayangan dalam sekelip mata.


cet.

teraser tebal muke sekejap. *malu*

Kah kah kah..belajar dari kesilapan..takpelah. Ada sekali masa my other half buat coverage election, hujan lebat telah mematikan sekejap my camera. Punyalah sedih pilu masa tu..ingatkan dah tinggal arwah je. Dia balik, bukak semua parts yg boleh bukak dan jemur..amazingly kamera tu hidup balik. Yeeeeah!
