What to Sell > Brand New Samsung Digital Still Camera L100


Little for sale advert here. Have bought a Samsung digital still camera while I was in Johor Bahru last week. Bought it because do not have a camera with me [everyone forgot to bring a camera!].

However, we found a camera after I bought this camera. So it has never been used, brand new. It is Samsung L100, bought it @ RM650. Can let go @ RM550, with 2GB SD card [can take take more than 900+ pix with highest setting]. Know you are going to ask, yes, it is still open for negotiation.

Some basic specs:-
1. 8.2 mega pixel
2. Digital image stabilization
3. Face detection [thought this cool & value for money with this price range!]
4. Auto macro, if you like to take close up shoot
5. Others

For full specifications, you can find it here.

I am back!


Several months of preparation..... Retna and I did it. We went for the Malakoff Charity Ride 2008 from May 17 - 19 [yes, it was Wesak Day].

Left the children behind for 3 days with my mother & mother-in-law [want to share tips on how to handle when both mothers are together?].

Can you see me?

I am sure you can, with all the fat in the belly.....

:- )

See you all soon in the upcoming gathering.

Harvey Norman [update 1]

Got a call from Harvey Norman this morning about the contractor agreeing to compensate us with a new refrigerator - however won't be the same brand, nor to the same amount & neither to what we requested [if we do have that option]. 

Got to wait for few more days before knowing what will be the outcome. 

Will update again later.

Baby Bugs + Our Kids

Heard the meowing for couple of days, Retna told me there was a new born kitten behind the house.  After several days of consideration, decided to go to back and collected the kitten.  

Baby Bugs [name given by Elijah, was struggling between James, Thomas..... until we told him she is a girl], brought back to out house on Thursday.   

Besides to having her be out children's first cat & second companion after Jackie [our existing dog], we let Jackie to experience her feminine side of being a mother.  Off course Retna's intention is to train Jackie not to harm cats as our neighborhood is occupied by many cats. 

I noticed few things after Baby Bugs came to our house, especially on our children:- 
1. They play "softer" now, not as rude 

2. Brings joy to the children and also letting them play with an animal that is much smaller than Jackie.  As you can see from the picture, Jackie is many times bigger than Baby Bugs 

3. They speak much gentle, they learn to apologise to each other, this is new 

Share your moments of joy with your animal friends in the comment section.  

Cheers.

Beware [2] Harvey Norman

















Our Whirlpool refrigerator has been sent for fixing for the 3rd time now.  Look at the pictures in the right, you can see clearly that the fridge is badly dented.  

We got the extended 5-year warranty from Harvey Norman.  This is the 2nd time we are using the warranty service by Harvey Norman of which the first warranty was done by Whirlpool.  

We have filed our complaint in the past on about the Harvey Norman contractor professionalism [the unit being carried back without any wrapper nor bubble wrap & the top part of the door was badly dented when being transported back to us the last time].  We thought it has improved, obviously it got worse.  

Saw the unit transported in a mini van of which no wrap-around nor bubble wrap and badly scratched.....  Guess what the technicians actually told us that they will get us a replacement unit as they thought this fridge cost RM1k plus....  I told them it was above RM3k.  They were trying to convince Retna that these dents are small matter, we should take it as the fridge is working now.....  :-( 

Preparing some documents to be submitted to Harvey Norman.  Will update again.
