Wooh! i cant wait till tomorrow's paper is over tho i have been pretty much relaxing for the pass few days and only started looking through my Chinese language revision yesterday. HAHA. Hmmm remembering the characters is quite challenging, and the only way to remember it is to write it continuously till its registered in ur brain. Through out the sem, we only learned half of the book so not much. Wrote down all the characters that i have learned into 5 different columns based on the tone and those without tones.
Some of the revision questions are quite vague. For eg:
Q1: Write out the missing letters and/or tone marks. Does that mean i can just write the missing letters without the tone marks or i can write both the missing words and the tone marks or just the missing tone marks. LOL. I dont think i can remember the tone marks tho..quite hard.
I'm also wondering, how to translate this sentence:
He is my younger brother's Chinese friend? 他是我弟弟的__朋友. cuz we only learn 中国人。Unless it should be 他是我弟弟的朋友。他是中国人。Pretty much the same meaning or not? LOL. Just hope the chinese characters will be super glued permanently on my brain for tomorrow's exam and for future usage. haha. I might be the only one sitting for this paper, since i requested to have it in Geelong (under off-campus students examination) so i dont have to travel all the way to Melbourne for a 9am paper!
I'm planning to buy a digital camera, since my old cannon 4MP is officially dead. I reckon some of the canon cameras here are slightly cheaper than those back home. At the moment the cannon 8MP camera is the cheapest which cost Au$266. Before the exchange rate went up, when it was just still bout 2.4 the price was about rm200+ more cheaper compare than the price i saw in KK (rm799). Gah..now that the exchange rate has went up to 2.8, its only bout rm55 cheaper.Damn exchange rate. LOL im not so particular with cameras, like now they have different sort of version/function...like SLR...HDR. I just prefer canon since my family has been using cannon ever since...ages..ages ago. The pic quality is quite good. No complains.
Anyways, the 8MP camera is similar to the 7MP camera that dad has with the functions and features..such as face detection, red-eye correction..etc.
Im eyeing at two at the moment Cannon Ixus 95IS (10MP)
Obviously Higher MP, better pic quality, Some new features that 8MP doesnt have: Auto mode with Scene Detection, Face Detection, Motion Detection and Noise Reduction makes it even easier to get the perfect shot, contrast correction, motion detection to let u freeze the moment, clearer shots in darker areas..etc. Oh comes in 6 different colours as well. Limited edition i reckon except for the classic silver colour. I like the blue..actually green is pretty cool too. Cost in between Au$337-379.
or the latest Cannon Ixus 100IS (12.1MP).
its smaller and slimmer in size compare to the other two, includes new features such as blink detection, so if someone blinks or eyes are closed when the shot is taken the camera will sort of give out a warning signal, what else high definition and better sound quality for video shots, higher ISO..i reckon the pic would turn out more defined, less blurry in less lighting areas.
Comes in four colours, Gold one looks classy as well ahhaaha! Cost Au$499..
multiply by 2.8= rm1497!!!!!!!!!! Darn too expensive!
I reckon 8MP or 10MP is good enough. LOL. Oh well, more research to be done. Lets see if i can get a good bargain from my friend's friend whose dad i think, owns part of Ted's electronic (a electronic goods company)..since my friend is planning to get a camera as well. We both might get more discounts!!! Fingers crossed.
