On 15 October 2009, I wrote a post about my
wish list. Today, just about everything is fulfilled.
No sooner I wished for a newer phone than I got a new handset in 2009 itself. Now it is even time to wish for another new phone already =p
I wished for a DSLR camera (Canon 500D) and we've got it in early 2010. Except the fact that I stopped taking my portraits because of my getting-plumper body which photoshop couldn't help anymore =(, we had absolute fun with the camera for so many months! We were satisfied with the outcome – he was being a good photographer (well, as a beginner of course).
I also wished for a compact camera besides the DSLR.
Today, I've just bought myself a compact camera – Canon power shot SX210 IS. Actually, it was sort of in exchange with something. I got a HTC Desire handset as a present but I didn't actually need it and my friend wanted to buy a phone for his sister. And he liked the phone. So, instead of giving me the due money, I decided to get a compact camera paid by him. I'm on Cloud number 9. I hope to furnish my blog with more photos in coming days. Even though we share Canon 500D, it is not very convenient to take it wherever I go. It doesn't fit in any of my purse, and even if I had a purse big enough to put this guy in , it is still heavy as opposed to a compact camera. Other than that, I don't want to bring it back home and leave him without any camera. So, I've got a new baby while he can remain with his !
Another extra bonus I got which wasn't even in my wish list was – an iPad!
As a farewell present to me, my employers bought me an iPad engraved with my name at the back!
It was the most fabulous and expensive thing I have ever received as a present during my life.
It was even more than I wished for.
So yea, if I weren't thrilled, who would be?

It was very thoughtful of your employers to give such an amazing gift. Lucky you. I hope that luck will be forwarded throughout 2011 too.
Should it be better to say as ... "forwarded to 2011 and throughout the whole year"?
@kyalzinlay - Thank you. Yes they are very thoughtful even to buy the cover together with the iPad. And I hope this luck will remain throughout this year and forwarded to next year too :P
(I don't know which is better though)
That was very nice of them to buy you an iPad.
@Shining_Garnet - Thank you for dropping by and leaving a comment. Indeed they were just so kind to have bought me with this. I'm just so happy.
