i brought bee² to meet my mom this chinese new year. i really do not want to wait a year, bring him home only to have my mom pre-judge him based on my actions for the past 12 months. i thought it’ll be really awkward because the dinner includes not only my family (without my sister and bil) but also my uncle and cousins. but surprise surprise, bee² made himself so comfortable throughout the meeting, there was not a moment of uneasiness. maturity matters huh?
anyway, i finally manage to check two of my 2012 to-do list today.
1. getting an insurance scheme for my mom and myself. this has been put on hold for ages, i would not know when i will be available again so it is a must for me to meet robin now. i cannot stress more on how important insurance is to everybody.
ever since the incident with my father, insurance has proven its point. just imagine the pressure on my family and i when my father was in the hospital. while we are worried about the condition my father and his well-being as he was warded in b class/icu, we worry about the hospitalisation expenses on all his examinations, check ups, doctor appointments and etc. should my father require an expensive and mandatory surgery how are we going to finance that procedure(s)? i’m not saying you should get 100% coverage (i.e. hospitalisation, critical illnesses, disabilities and death), but at least the basic i.e. hospitalisation so that *touch wood* you never have to worry about not having the money to do whatever necessary to keep you alive.
2. servicing my camera (i.e. samsung st550). it is kinda irritating how official websites are unable to provide accurate information. i visited the service centre at plaza sing and well, the servicing for devices other than samsung mobile is located at 20 toh guan road #01 – 01 CJ GLS building, singapore 608839. there is no guard there, just walk-in.
i have two issues with my camera; the screen resolution is noisy and there is a speckle of dust that is too visible to be ignored when i zoom in for a shot. fixing the former will cost me S$220 and the latter, S$60. the accumulated payable is rounded off the nearest hundreds S$300, i figured it will be more worthwhile to get a new and better camera. the repair cost is one reason, and the other attributes are the night shots are not up to standard, the shots are slow and the stabilizer is not good enough.
after much research, together with bee², i have decided to get Canon S100. The ratings are good and it is compact and light enough to be brought around – an excellent tool to help achieve one of my 2012 resolutions. so i’m gonna save up and buy this new toy.
some of the side notes, some photos for today. ending off with love,
that two soft toys are going make bee² car their home
