Dreams are what you wake up from.

The songs of the Siren can lure the unprepared sailor into the deep dark water. And only the wisest survive.
Similarly, there's no pot of gold in the far end of the rainbow; everything is transitory; and it is in this recognition that we serenade the transient beauty while it lasts, and learn to move on again, with life.

The cycle begins yet again.

Originally opted for Casio's Exilim Z3 after doing much research on the internet, but a lucky bidding on Yahoo! Auctions got myself a windfall: an Optio S4 for only $640!
The orignal owner bought it a couple of weeks ago, but was long sighted and hence could not read off the LCD.
