Nope

July 26th, 2007

no pictures of Vienna coz i didnt upload any before i was pickpocketed. ya i lost my camera. with all my photos of Vienna and Budapest in it. i am a bit speechless, and i still keep absently touching my pockets in the vain hope that it was all a mistake and that i’ll find my camera nestled safely somewhere. right now i just wanna curl up in bed and growl. maybe go on a chicken rice fast if it means i will find my camera in my mailbox with an apologetic note from the thief. ’sorry for stealing your camera, pinkpau; here, you can have it back, with all your pictures still intact!’. i guess the silver lining to this is that at least Martian took some pictures and i can keep those. sigh. but i want my pictures. okay okay okay girl stop complaining. Budapest awaits.

    ehhh this is so sad. i underrstand the feeling like how i lost my stuffs. but camera…. this is sad!

    but actually hmm, if we think positively, you can get a new one mar!

  • 6. hw  |  July 26th, 2007 at 5:51 pm

    Oh noes!

    =( I haven’t been to Vienna or Budapest either, and I was looking forward to the pics too. Well, who knows maybe you’ll find your camera hidden in a pile of clothes when you unpack your stuff after you get home.

    Hope you get your camera back.

  • 9. Eve  |  July 26th, 2007 at 7:55 pm

    sorry to hear that happened to you. It’s very common to get pickpocketed in europe. My friends faced the same fate before :(

  • 10. kennysia  |  July 26th, 2007 at 8:16 pm

    Oh crap. I know how that feels. :( I lost my 2-month-old camera… on 1st January 2007, no less.

    *hugs* Ummm… time to go new camera shopping?

  • 11. JustAnotherTragedy  |  July 26th, 2007 at 8:29 pm

  • 12. Jade Z.  |  July 26th, 2007 at 9:00 pm

    oh dear… so sorry to hear that… those pictures are something money can’t buy back, aren’t they~ hmmm… still, don’t get too upset ! (:

  • 13. clem  |  July 26th, 2007 at 9:11 pm

    i know how it feels to lose a camera - been there.

    it’s not the camera itself, but the pictures have got to be irreplaceable.

  • 14. gaelan  |  July 26th, 2007 at 10:44 pm

    i guess the only consolation is that the memories will always be there, right in your mind. another plus point is that you can go shop for a better camera!

    always look on the bright side! :)

  • 15. Lalita  |  July 27th, 2007 at 12:09 am

    That SUCKS and the b*stard who stole your camera should go out and get his own rather than stealing! WTF man!!!

  • 16. eric  |  July 27th, 2007 at 2:05 am

    awwww.. nvm nvm. cameras now cheap cheap. go get a spanking DSLR and take away! =D

  • 17. TheRealAnonymous  |  July 27th, 2007 at 3:54 am

    OMG… so sorry to hear that. I bet it must be super devastating for a camwhore to lose her ultimate weapon… the camera… worse when its loaded with pics that wasn’t downloaded yet!! =p

    Oh well… look at the bright side… now u have an excuse to get a DSLR!! LoL

  • 18. Michelle  |  July 27th, 2007 at 6:18 am

    Well, you have to be really careful. Loads of pickpockets in Vienna. Take note when you’re in trains, buses, crowded areas….

    =)

  • 19. Adrian C  |  July 27th, 2007 at 9:33 am

    sorry to hear about that. maybe God wants u to get another (better) camera. =)

    OOoooooo….pickpockets are obnoxious there! Everybody…. becareful when you travel there (around europe)…….their targets are usually vacationers……….

  • 42. pweetypiggie  |  July 28th, 2007 at 12:40 pm

    hie..been reading ur blog for the past few months..really interesting and captivating site.. :)

    sorrie to hear bout ur camera.. too bad cos u really take amazing photos..

    have fun wherever u are

    ~cheers~

  • 43. Jonathan  |  July 28th, 2007 at 11:58 pm

    Sometimes this things are inevitable. We can only hope and pray that this can be averted and the pickpockets will be blessed with a job instead of pickpocketing others and causing miseries to others.

    I think its not about the camera sometimes, its the sentimental value that is attached to it. The times you have your camera whilst clubbing, the times you have your camera whilst your bored, the times you have it when you are at the rainforest festival..and etc

  • 44. Jun  |  July 29th, 2007 at 1:34 am
