Watches
After my beloved free Minolta watch (with both analog and digital displays) got destroyed by an incompetent watch battery changer in Ang Mo Kio about a year ago, friends know that I've been agonising over buying another watch for the longest time.
Willis has given me his lovely Diesel/Matrix watch which I lovelovelove, Mich has kindly donated two of her Casio G-shock collection for my dive purposes, and World Vision gave me their "It's All About Saving Kids' Lives" watch.
But none of these watches are dual analog/digital, so I dug around the house a little bit, and chanced upon my dad's old watch, which still works, but the bracelet was broken. Thinking that I could just bring it to Bras Basah and get a new bracelet, I left it on my computer table for the longest time, until a paperclip found its way onto the table as well. That was the catalyst for a little creative repair; bend the paperclip in order to poke and prod the joint-links out, and voila! Another watch for me.
So now, from having one single watch which came free with our old, old Minolta film camera, I have 5 watches to choose from. Sweet.
