I just picked up my Olympus from the service center this evening after work. The lens got smashed and to get the camera fixed, I had to fork out a hefty $480. My man thinks I should have traded in the camera and used the money to get a new one.

In some 6 hours, I will be leaving for Sydney. I look forward to this break from the madness that has engulfed my life these months, leaving me with little time to breathe and to do things I used to enjoy.
