NO! It is mine!

“Mommy, I want to see what you’ve taken [with the camera].” Even when I’ve off the light and gone to bed.

“Mommy, I want to snap this [and that].” Even when there isn’t any time for him to do that.

“Let me see, let me see.” Whenever I’ve snap something, especially them.

Yes, these are the things that my boys want. I’m so worried each time they said they wanted to snap photos themselves with my digital camera!

“No, no, no!!” I would freak out when they said they wanted to hold my camera. It is over RM1k, okay? And that is the only camera that I have now.

I’ve used it extensively ever since hubby got it for me this year. I’ve taken over thousands of photos with it and have burned 3 CDs out from it. Even that the print-shop owner said my photos are in too low resolution and it won’t be good if I want to process them in large print. The reason I save them in 3Mega Pixel is that I’m worried that I might just used up all the memories in my memory card. Furthermore I seldom process them larger than a 4R, so they still look okay in my scrapbook pages.

Well, maybe I should get another 4GB compact flash just so I can have one backup. At the mean time, let me just hide my camera out of the sight of my two boys.

Just can’t get it

Yes, I just can’t understand how some people can let their kids stand in the middle of the car while they are driving! The kid is not with any safety belt or with children car seat!

I always reminded my boys about the commercial about the little girl who ended up blue-black after her dad hit on the brake while she was standing in the middle of the seats! Now little Mer always notice if there is anyone in the car who didn’t put on their seat-belt, his comment will sounds like:
“Mommy, they are so bad hor.. didn’t put on their seat-belt, later police catch them oh..”

Even to the car next to us! And he sounds so proud with his seat-belt on. I wish all Malaysian can afford car seat or at least put seat-belt on their kids. Read on what Patrick Teo said about this here. Really, I think we all should teach kids about road safety from even just a baby, put them on baby car seat!!
