Assalamualaikum and Hi there.
I have a confession to make here. For you who might not know, every story in this blog is mine. Hihi, I was just not very happy with myself so, I tended to be someone else but that didn't help me with anything. So, I'll just be myself, hihi, it's my blog anyways. =)
Yesterday was a public holiday at my place; Toowoomba Show Day. So, my family went to Bribie Island in Redcliff with other four Malaysian families. We always travel together.
It was a long journey, about four hours driving from our place. Before we continued our exhibition we stopped at somewhere (I forgot its name and I can't recall it) to take some pictures. It was a forest. I loved that place. It was very peaceful. So, we spent about 15-20 minutes there.
Then, we parked our cars closed to an Arts Gallery to do a bush-walking. As the result of our bush-walking activity, we arrived at a Natural Park. We were so lucky because we saw a beautiful lake with amazingly gorgeous waterlilies floating on it! ="D
After that, we went to the island. We stopped at a BBQ place to have our lunch and perform Zuhur. We also enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the ocean. There were many boats. We could see Glass Mountains and the long bridge that separated the island with a place across it.
So everyone enjoyed that. Some were having lunch, some were praying, some were resting especially fathers, the kiddies were chasing each other everywhere, some were taking pictures and someone was very very busy risking her own life to take pictures of unique things, such as purple crabs, it was me.
I don't really know how to describe the setting. There were four rocky rough (to my eyes) steps at the bank of the sea. I kept going down to the first and second steps to get better view of the scenery (I can't see the point of doing that now). So, at one moment when I was busy doing that, I saw a crab. It was small and purple! That was my first time seeing crab in reality, you know, on a real island instead of zoos or aquariums.
Then, the crab brought its family! So, one by one, they came out of the cracky part of the steps. I got too excited so, I decided to merge myself to the third step. Very luckily, the third step took me to even a better spot to get a better view! I slipped down into the salt water. There was a silence. I couldn't think of anything. Then I saw my camera floating! So, I quickly saved it by placing it on one of the steps! Then I held my hand to my pants pocket and I felt my phone! So, I saved it too. I put it next to the camera.
After doing that, I also remembered that I was in the water too! It wasn't deep. It was just below my chest high. So I tried to shout (I didn't like it because I thought it would be embarrassing), but I just tried to ask for help. I did try to get out by myself, but the steps were very slippery! It's gonna be a long story, so I'll just stop there. I was saved. Thanks, Mum! ;)
I got soooooooo frustrated because if my phone won't fight its disease, I'm gonna lose many things!
So, today, I realised that camera is the best friend of mine when my sister asked me this when I was rubbing my camera, "Are you really crying?? It's just a camera!" Hahah, yeah, why would I cry? Because no one will ever understand me, except the camera. :')
Please, wish the best for the camera.
Dear camera, I will never ever lose hope on you. Please, wake up. :")
So, these are my admitted bestfriends. :(
I put my phone in rice because one of my friend had experienced the same thing and this way worked for her. So, I just give it a try.
However, I'm still figuring out ways to survive the camera. Any advice, will be much appreciated (stupid statement to make when I don't even know how to make a comment space. I'll try. Heheh..)
