Polaroid Instant Digital Camera- Z2300

This might be the perfect camera for some, best of both worlds they called it.

Polaroid has been such a brand that almost any camera that creates instant films, we called them Polaroid. The brand Polaroid is etched into our mind and unarguably our heart too when these amazing cameras has an ability to print out our memories instantly.

Who doesn’t love a fuss free camera that prints out instant images on a white frame film with special effects on it?

Perhaps, if you are as lazy as yours truly the only downside to it is turning these films into digital image.
That annoying moment when you have to scan those films one by one so that it’ll appear on your Facebook making you look cool and all.

Here’s what Polaroid has got in store for you.

If you didn’t know, Polaroid actually produced digital cameras and this is one of the newest addition into the family.


#1 Polaroid Z2300, a 10 megapixel digital camera.

What is so cool about this digital camera is that you not only can capture images digitally, you can also print it out right away like how Polaroid instant camera do it.


#2 Just like any other digital camera but with a twist.

Capture the moment, edit the picture as you wish through the camera, upload it to social platform, and finally print it out right through the camera.


#3 White Z2300 and that’s how pictures will be printed.

THIS IS AN ALL IN ONE!

I was mad excited about the camera and yes, this could be the best gift to myself as it only cost USD159.99.

The films for Polaroid Z2300 is not your ordinary Polaroid films.


#4 Is it a 2×3″ borderless paper and it comes in a pack of 30 sheets (USD 14.99) or 50 sheets (USD 24.99).

Yes, borderless but you can edit the image and add in a white frame border making it look almost identical to Polaroid instant films.

Quick Start Guide

This will be my impulse buy if I have extra money laying around but on second thought, I asked myself if I really need this camera.
It’s definitely nice to have one, especially when my old camera died. It’s even better when the camera can print out images instantly but seeing that I do already have my Instax, how often will I print images through Z2300?
Not to mention from the reviews I read, Z2300 is not of the best quality. More of a toy camera that’s not made from the best plastic.

But as I said, I wouldn’t mind because for less than Rm600 for a camera you cant ask for much.
Polaroid Z2300 is more for the fun people who doesn’t mind using a normal camera as long as they have fun capturing, editing and printing the pictures.
Too bad it is only available in US for the moment and the product is currently only available for pre-order which will take about 2-3 weeks to ship after placing your order.

I can find my way to get it back from US if I want but the question here is, should I or should I not?

A: Have they met her?
B: No but I wish that they had.
A: Huh. Why?
B: So that they’ll know how good you are.

And all I want to do is to have this guy with me forever, if forever ever exist.

…without her knowing.

Today was a little unusual than my other days.
Unusual in a very good way.

I woke up earlier than I was supposed to, to deliver my client’s parcel and to avoid the crowd during noon time.
It was a quick one at the post office and I made the decision to follow my mom to the wet market.
On normal days, she’ll drop me off at work and go to the wet market alone.

When I was little, I used to follow her to this wet market once in a while.
Sometimes it bores me and most of the time I am too much of a sleepyhead to wake up early.
Today, it feels like those times once again. (Not the boring part of course.)

While mom was buying a fish, I shrieked.
She picked a fish that was alive out of the fish tank and the fishmonger killed it right in front of my eyes.
Oh I cant bear the scene and mom laughed at me.

I asked her a lot of questions.
Me: 600 grams of squid means how many can I get?
Mom: A few.
Me: Only a few? A few for about Rm15? (or was it Rm16 or Rm14, I cant remember) So expensive!
Mom: If not! You thought what?

Me: How much is the duck? Do they sell in small pieces?
Mom: No, must buy the whole duck or at least half. Duck is expensive.

Me: Walau! The prawn so expensive geh!
Mom: ‘Eat rice don’t know rice price’.

Me: How much is the lotus root?
Mom: Let the auntie tell you.
Auntie” RM4.50
Me: Rm4.50 for such a small piece? So expensive!
Mom: IF NOT!

Everything is so expensive! Salted fish alone cost my mom Rm24!
Oh poor mommy, on top of that she have to cook for us.
I do feel guilty for not mending our weird relationship sometimes, knowing that she definitely suffer more than I do.
But today was a good one for us, it is our little bonding session like old times.
I shall do this more often, even better that I can gain some knowledge from her on how to choose those vegetables and fishes and what not.

I finished reading ‘Anne Frank’ in two days.
It is a diary of a young girl in her teenage, a diary dated from 14th June 1942 to 1st August 1944.
The venue took place at a building in Amsterdam that has a secret pathway, a ‘Secret Annexe’ they called it for hiding.
Anne, her family, and her family friends hid there for a total of 2 years without stepping out of the building.
No one knew they were there except for her father’s friends who were there to help.
They were Jews and they have to hide themselves from the Germans, from the Nazis in order to keep themselves alive.
It feels weird to find that Anne’s relationship with her mummy is somewhat like my relationship with my mom.

Then again, at the end of the day both Anne and I knew that our moms love us more than anything though the connection sometimes might not be as strong.
Though both Anne and I love our father so much more.

Get hold of the book if you can and read it.
You’ll then discover how bless we are today with no sufferings and I sincerely thank God for that.
Most of all, I thank God that I still have my mom with me in spite of everything.

That alone means more than the world to me, without her knowing.

Where the CARAVAN roams.

Here’s a blog post on what I’ve been up to, on why am I so busy recently. and also on Caravan’s updates.

Caravan was supposed to join a bazaar two weeks ago but we were still new and unprepared so I have to turn down such a beautiful offer.
From then on, me and my boyfriend started preparing for upcoming bazaar(s) though we do not have any invitation at that moment.

We both spent hours and hours doing what we need for Caravan’s first bazaar.
From designing the booth to looking for the right materials, from designing Caravan’s new logo to print production, from buying hangers to buying paper bags; it took us a very long time.
Up till this stage, we’re not entirely done but we’re certainly glad that we came this far.


Caravan’s new logo.


I especially love our cover photo, credits to Benjamin Tay. :)

And finally here’s the good news!!!
Caravan was invited to join Night Markets by Markets on this coming Saturday, 28th of July!
Joining Markets to me is a big challenge because we don’t just ‘join’ them, it works the other way round.
Markets handpicked all their vendors, so unless we are good enough or we wouldn’t stand a chance to be picked by them.
Which explains why am I so overwhelmed and happy when I read the email!

Event : Night Markets
Venue : Jaya One. Jalan Universiti, Petaling Jaya.
Date : 28th July
Time : 6pm to 12am
Activities : Buka puasa, explore, shop, mingle, make friends, and enjoy the night.

 

 

 

 

So friends, please come join us this Saturday and give us a little support for all the hard work we put in.
We will only continue to work harder.

See you guys this Saturday. :)

Before I die #3

I cant wait for my upcoming getaway which is about 3 weeks from now.
I swear I need this break from all the stress that came rushing my way recently.
Consistently pilling up.

Which also explains why my blog is not updated with posts, I do not have the time to do so. :(
The following days will be super busy for me so here’s a short post for now.


I actually love watching Harry Porter, it is pretty damn amusing. I’ve missed out watching the last 2, I hope I can do a marathon soon.


…with my future architect boyfriend.

Till then.

Updates


*My phone’s camera can never make it.

Life has been treating me good thus far. /thank God
There are of course, some bad days here and there but I just try not to focus on it although I must say I’m not quite an expert at this.
Law of attraction, not some con job I hope.

So here’s some updates if you’re interested.

1. I am suppose to apply for my Australian Work and Holiday visa this year but towards the end I made a decision to give up. Gathering documents can be a pain in the ass when I have a 9-6 job.
Also, something I applied for changed comparing to last year so I am not even sure if my documents are complete which led to me giving up.
Applying for the visa will cost me almost one thousand ringgit and there will be no refund or whatsoever be it I successfully attain the visa or the other way round.
Cant afford to burn my money right this moment so I’ll wait for another year.
Since fatty will only be going back at the end of the year, so it’s fine. Or at least that is what I am telling myself everyday.

2. I’ve actually handed in my resignation letter thinking that I will successfully attain my visa and leave mid year but since that is not the case, I am continuing my job.

3. New Zealand Work and Holiday visa is in my consideration right now. First, application is a no brainer. Second, the amount I have to pay will be so much lower. And third, the duration is only for half a year which suits my liking. As long as I can find a travel partner, I most probably will apply for it next year January.

4. I AM GOING TO BANGKOK NEXT MONTH!!
Initially, planning for a trip anytime soon after going to Siem Reap with fatty is not in my plan but this……..I just have to. Because I am going for SENSATION WHITE bitches!!!! I’ve been dreaming to go to Sensation White since long ago but what are the odds. Thank God they decided to be on the adventurous side this time round, coming to Asia is definitely a good choice. This will be a good one, I swear! Also I will have to go to the temple which I prayed at two years ago and offer my offerings because God grant my wish!!
I’ve got too much in mind for now I don’t know which to wish for. I’m not that greedy, I’m not wishing for money. Right!?

5. Caravan is doing fine too. We’re a little slow on the updates because there’s something else that we’re working on but will be back on track in no time. More on that soon.

6. Been partying A LOT lately. Weeks after weeks and consecutively 2 days for the last 2 weeks. Last night was a great one partying with my ‘homies’. We miss each other, often asking when are they coming back to KL or they’ll ask when are we going over to Melbourne. It just happened that my three months stay at Melbourne was their best time in Melbourne. It was my best three months too. All of us miss having supper at QV’s mamak after clubbing. :(

6. Stress over money, as usual. Especially when I have to fork out about RM600 just to exchange my flight tickets. Blah!

Remaining July, please be a good one! But I know you will. :)
