To my Canon G9... thank you for being with me for the last 4 months... Thank you for recording all the beautiful memories for my trips to Taipei, Gunung Panti, Kukup, and all over Singapore...
You probably is now resting somewhere under the P.Ubin jetty... You might have been washed ashore... It was a split second of clumsiness on my part that let you slipped out of my grip, and into the choppy waters of the Ubin jetty... I tried... but I couldn't bring you back...
LIFE IS NOT ABOUT HOW MANY BREATHS YOUR TAKE...
IT'S ABOUT HOW MANY MOMENTS THAT TAKE YOUR BREATHS AWAY...
My cadets asked me on that fateful day if I feel sad about losing my G9... And I told them yes, it's rather disappointing... Disappointing more from the fact that in my 10 years of photography, I've never lost or dropped any of my photography equipment... And to lose it this way, I'm rather disappointed with myself... However, I told them (and myself too), that it's not healthy to attach too much of me emotions onto an object... It has served me well, very well indeed, while it was still with me... And I should be gratified about that...
So... it was a 'smack right in my face' kind of lesson... and I shall and never will ever repeat such silly and clumsy acts ever again...

Be more careful next time with whatever camera even if it is not a expensive camera!! Feel the pain of that camera too cos i also have this type of experience before!!! Not on camera but a mobile phone!!
I think u shld nt compare a handphone with camera n Mr Wong's camera. His camera is his life I can tell from his passion for photography. N i guesss he is really take care of his stuff, he did not drop it on purpose. Everyone make mistakes yeah?
