What the heck are these?

Received these freebies when I ordered takeaway pizza few weeks ago.  I couldn't quite figure out what they are supposed to be.  Coaster? Hand fan?

I have no idea what to do with these except hang them somewhere :)

Finally I got myself a new camera. Presenting the Canon Powershot S95.

I wanted to purchase a camera that can give me good quality in low lights. Read many good reviews about this model and decided it would be my choice of purchase.

The purchase came with 4GB SD Class 4, case and tripod. I had to top up for the screen protector. Also, got myself a UV Crystal Filter to protect the lens from dust. Unfortunately, the free case didn't really fit the camera but I didn't know that til I got home. Darn! Should have said yes when the salesman asked if I wanted to put the camera into the case after my purchase. I guess it didn't really matter actually since I had intented to get a different case anyhow. Besides, I don't think I want to go all the way back to the shop just to exchange a case that I am not going to use anyway. Now I got to find out how to get rid of the extra case. Selling it super cheap :)

Next step is to study the settings for taking photos manually....and of course, practice practice.  Here are some shots taken.....un-edited.

 

Running for the Goodies

The SHAPE nite run finally came and went yesterday. I only signed up for the 5km and not 12.3 km run, mainly because I dislike running. I get side stitches no matter how deep I breathe, my bunions hurt, my ankles hurts....so yeah, I am not a big fan of running. Just for fun, I joined the Shape run in the Fun Run category....aha! Well, actually it was the Goodies Bag that motivated me to join the run, and I was not shy to admit that. 

Look at the stuffs in the goodie bag..



The bib and the huge recyclable goodie bag



Whey Protein Isolates powder - the ones I usually consume, until the one time they ran out of stock. Then I had to buy GNC brand, which I actually had difficulty drinking. Gonna switch back to this..

 

Toiletries & medicated pain relief cream



Vouchers - fish spa, watch, GNC, 2 weeks trial to True Fitness.  I'm gonna check out all these promos.



Varieties of drinks - No wonder the goodie bag was so heavy.....1L of fruit & veggie drink.



Complimentary magazines - Men's Health & Shape.  I love that the Shape mag has Jillian Michaels on the cover.  Nice!

Overall, it was a good experience, no regrets.  Next time if I ever decide to join another run (I doubt so but anything can happen), it will be a longer distance....why?...well, just for the heck of it....AND only if the goodie bag contents are as good as this one...hah!
