May 11th, 2006Camera,oh camera, where art thou?
I have received a parcel today (chocs from France!thanks Romain!) and I wanted to take some photos but then I realized that I haven’t seen my camera since a few days. The last time I used it was on Sunday evening when I took pics of something which I had cooked. I’m not at home right now and I’m using someone else’s computer. I wasn’t planning to write today but I’m in a lousy mood and writing makes me feel better. I’ve looked for my camera for around 30 mins before I gave up and went out. Seeing that the only place I can look for my camera is my small room, 30 minutes is more than enough. I haven’t been able to find my camera anywhere. I can’t remember where I last put my camera after I used it on Sunday. Usually, I leave it on my table. I’ve looked in my cupboards, under the bed , under my table and even in the fridge! My boyfriend laughed when I told him that I looked in the fridge too. I only looked there because I had opened the fridge when I had cooked and I was half-hoping that I had somehow absentmindedly put my camera in there. I was getting desperate. I won’t look for my camera again today. I’ll have a good night’s sleep and look for it tomorrow. My digital camera is very old now and covered with scratches but I love it. It has been with me almost everywhere I’ve been and I’d hate to lose it. It has to be somewhere in my room. The only other possibility is that someone passing in the corridor stole it while my roommate or I went cooking. We usually leave the door open or half-open when we are in the kitchen. I doubt that someone would do that though. I trust all the students living in my building.
The camera is somewhere in my room, the camera is somewhere in my room, the camera is somewhere in my room, the camera is somewhere in my room, the camera is somewhere in my room, the camera is somewhere in my room, the camera is somewhere in my room, ….
Saying that a few times kinda makes me feel better. I hope that I find it soon.

I’ve found it!!! So relieved. It was behind my huge pile of books in my cupboard. I think I had put it on top of the pile of books but the camera fell behind the pile.
I was even telling my bf that I won’t be going to SG during the holidays if I don’t find my camera. I can’t live without my camera. I would never go travelling without it. If I had lost my camera, part of the money I’m saving for my trip would have been used to buy another camera which costs around the same price as the plane tickets.



try the microwave, i once left my camera in it. I was taking pictures of the frozen cheesecake,… doh.. why did i put the camera in the microwave anyway…
too bad you can’t call the camera like your cell phone:roll:
I was often desperate in looking for my keys or wallet.:twisted:
one good advice from someone who keeps misplacing everything,
i.e ME
lol
well, u’r on the right track, try not to think AT ALL about the camera for a couple days(if that’s not too long for u :P).. then after that u should see it popup somewhere,usually some place u actually searched but for some *mysterious* reason - u didnt find it then. usually works for me! :faint::grin:
I hope you can locate your camera soon! For me, I can barely live a day without my camera. Furthermore, it is one of my most treasured belongings.
And yes, your camera will definitely be somewhere in your room! (:
i think u need to hire a PI
PI = private investigator … the case of the missing camera!
.. do u keep losing stuff easily Aline?
Thank GOODNESS you found your camera. I hate losing stuff, and I would have cried so hard if I lost something like a camera.
Wow, that’s good you found it! I would have been crying too if my camera was to go missing.
Thank goodness you have found it! Such things often happen to me, esp near the end of a month
Wow…so:faint:
Wow…such expensive camera, wat model is it? ta
Hehe, it’s great that you found it
It’s so confusing and irritating when you know it’s somewhere there but just can’t remember and have to keep walking around the room T.T
You just THINK you misplaced it. The next time you take pictures of food… the cameranapping will be for a lot longer.
I often misplace my stuff too and they end up popping up on me when I wasn’t looking ;) Anyway, I am saving up for a new camera. I’m using my Dad’s one now and it’s not really working that well, my sister has a 5MP one and I’m envy.
The fridge is a nice way to stay cool
Whoa, I feel really relieved for you. I’ve misplaced things before, too, and more often than not, they’re just hiding behind some stuff on the shelves or underneath a book.
So yay for not losing stuff!
