Wont christmas come early this year?

Recently chance upon this olympus ep-1 on xia xue's blog and the functions are amazing.

I love the pinhole camera effect as well as the grainy film.

Yi wei, was this the one that you were talking about that day?

Now I also wish I can have a huge paycheck from somewhere so I can get this.

I'm not saying my canon one is bad but this camera looks really pretty and rugged.

Its sooo cute..

Shall start saving from I dont know where either.

Hope money will really start to drop from the skies somewhere.

I was reading the newspaper today and I forgot which country where this lady was fired from citybank as she posed as a disturbance to her male collegues due to the fact that she is pretty. I mean seriously? Getting fired for looking like a vixen? I understand that citybank has to do well as it is a well known bank afterall. But blaming her for the drop in productivity of the work from the male deparment is just simply ridiculous. I think the fault lies with men. Men are born to be lecherous and love to oogle at the sight of pretty women. I'm not being a feminist and saying that females dont, but at least we get out work done and are not affected. I still think that she should not have been fired. If the men job performance can be affected by the mere sight of pretty women, then is it right to say that men dies in the hands of a women? This only shows how weak humans are when it comes to temptations. Correct me if I am wrong. In ancient Greek there is a legend known as the Odessey and from what I remember is that during that period when men travel out to sea they will never return due to the sights and sounds from the nymphs. This also proves my other fact that the way to the men's heart isnt his stomach but his eyes.

I use to think that not all men are alike and that there are still some good ones around. Maybe there still are, except these type of men are either unavailable or extinct. Well its just I'm not ready to meet them yet. But after concurrent incidents, it suddenly dawn upon me that all male are the same. There is no running from the truth. They are realistic creatures who will stay with you for certain reasons. Some common reasons would be sex, responsibility, money and sometimes because there is nowhere else to go.

Recently I saw a post on this forum whereby this girl says, " men will never leave their wives." True to a certain extent. In her story, her uncle left his wife for the mistress however as time pass the uncle has another affair. You see, when the mistress status has been upgraded to the wife, it simply leaves a new opening for the place "mistress". Understand what I mean? Ok, back to the uncle having another affair. This time he had an affair with the ex wife. Irony of how men are not able to leave their wives. However, this is not the case of the majority as some men really do leave their wives and live happily with their mistress. I'm not saying that straying men are setting a good example in this society. I'm just saying that as long as he knows what he is getting into we should not judge. Because we never know what is the truth behind the affairs. So in this society now where everyone is judging each other base on values and mindsets that we are taught. Is this right?

I used to think that there was only black and white in this world but as I grow older I realised that the shades of grey that hide deep inside this society holds the higher power. There is hardly anymore right or wrong in this world. For eg, killing is a wrong thing no matter what reason it is. But what if it was for protection? mental condition which made him kill? Does that make a wrong thing right? Almost everything in this world can be twisted around.

Is there anymore righteousness in this world anymore?

p.s sorry for digressing from the camera. :p
