Shanghai is kinda smelly. But there’s this omnipresent floral scent floating in the air everywhere we go!!! Oli and i tried sniffling around like a doook (that’s how he pronounces dog) but to no avail.
I’m very very disturbed. I really wanna find out where the scent come from! It smells like those little colorful fragrance beads i used to buy during primary school days and put them inside my pencil case. You know which type?? Different color got different smell one. We called it “xiang dou” (fragrant bean).
IT IS SO FREAKING NOSTALGIC!
If anyone can tell me where the smell possibly come from (and if it’s verified) i will buy you cartons of China milk. Promise.
We were in this nice little Balinese cafe by the pond.
Waiter: What would you like to have, maam?
Cheesie: I wanna have a nice day.
Waiter: *puzzled look*
Cheesie: Have a nice day.
Waiter: Oh. *chuckled* Which flavor?
Cheesie: I wanna have a nice, chocolate day.
This is my nice day.
Hmmm yum.
And something funny happened to my camera.
When i slided it open, it vibrated. And the LCD screen wobbled like a Jello on Osim iGallop super speed mode.
For a moment i thought, all this while i failed to discover a hidden function of my Sony T10. How dumb i was!
It either A) can double up as a mobile phone (and somebody was calling me but it was on silent mode), B) is a massager slash vibrator and C) Or something.
I think C. Or what they prefer to call it: spoilt.
My Sony T10 camera, vibrated. Wow.
This is how it looked. On video mode.
What should i do? With a vibrating camera?
I have the same problem with my T30. It is about 2 years old now. Sometimes when I slide it open it will vibrate for a few seconds but not as bad as yours la :p
Is that ice cream u eating the price is in RMB(Renmenbi)? if it is..it cost like friggin RM19 for 1 ice cream, and like for RM50 plus for the most expensive icecream in the menu. daym..imma never go shanghai.
Haha Happy day ^^
HAHA.
how come the waiter also can ‘ngong’ for a momment when you said “i wanna have a nice day” one? so cute X3
Omona~ your T10 camera memang siao liao.
My sony handycam went siao before too.
Sometimes, whenever i flip the LCD thingy.. it bleeped & went black > colour > black > colour.
scary.
but after i off then on it again, the siao-ness went off.
Have a nice holiday, Cheesie!
😀
hey, must go 南京路 to shop till u drop okay. it’s like the chee cheong kai in KL but 南京路 is waaayy much bigger. damn i almost got lost there.
and and and… i’m waiting for Episode 2 of The Truth (abt wat really happened in MDG and we the public cant see from the video).

ohh btw!
I REMEMBER THE XIANG DOU DOU!
we use to play it during kindergarten (and now im sixteen. WTH so long already!)
my friend & i would trade the beans.
But the teacher confiscated our beans because she thinks that we’re going to eat them.
=____________________=
glad u had a nice day =)
my cam vibrated too!!!
its the lense function thing.
bring it back to sony for repair…
Hahah! Eh I believed you ok when you wrote that your camera can jadi phone one. The first thought I had was “damn I want that camera!”
Until I read somore.
>.
eh my smiley terputus one. It’s supposed to be the sweating smiley la har.
OMG My friend’s T10 vibrated too!!! Just recently!!!
hmm.. either send you camera to sony centre to get ur camera fix, or you can just throw it away and buy a new camera. 🙂
hmm.. wonder why so many T10 users experiencing this actually.
perhaps the vibration is another hidden function for T10? LOL
Nostalgia! I remember those beads, I used them in primary school inside my pencil case. It comes in different colors and has a dimple in each of them. The smell of lead (from pencils) and the scented beans, it still triggers my olfactory senses.
Vibrating camera….put it in SteadyShot mode and see if it works. Or see how fast it vibrates and move the camera up and down to the same frequency and see if it comes out clear. Both quite stupid solutions though.
Get a new cam since you’re on vacation and will need photos?
Have a nice day 🙂
but i think i would prefer SWEET LIFE.. hmm
Wow, the “nice day” looks really nice!
I feel the person eating the “nice day” looks even nicer 🙂
vibrating camera? easy, sell it on cheesie wardrobe. =D
dear, it is time for u to trade in ur vibrating t10 and 300d for a new dslr 😉 🙂 😛
hey, I did a spontaneous decision too in year 2006. haha, 1 week after my decision, I was enjoying my shopping spree on ‘nanjing road’ lol~
Haha! Stupid menu item.
I wanna have a sweet life. A sweet, tropical life.
About the Sony camera. I think all Sony cams when they spoil they vibrate liddat one. There are two ways to solve the problem.
One way is to shake it a bit then it’ll be ok.
Another way is to buy a new cam. 😛
A vibrating camera?! 😀
I hope mine won’t vibrate anytime soon. That’s a sign to get a new camera cheesie. 😀
and oh my god I didn’t know that Keju is actually Kenny. =.=”
All these while I thought Keju is someone related to Kenny cos they look alike. In fact, they do look alike! omg. What am I saying! haha. Keju=Kenny. I’m officially sott.
Thats place looks awesome..Ur blog s so cute…Hi this s rocky n this s my new blog..Do visit t often for some interesting updates…
hi.. my T20 had the same prob. it’s a lens prob and sony can fix it for ya..
a temporary cure for the camera would be to hold the camera horizontally (lens facing upwards) and the vibration will go away quite fast haha.
yeah my T20 does the same… i think its cause i was a bit rough when sliding open the lens cover… now it sits in a drawer and i use a canon 860 SOOO much better tsk!
That phone is nice 😀 how much does it cost?
Dear Ringo,
My mom bought me a black coloured T10 for my birthday 3 years ago. After about half a year of using it, it started VIBRATING. I sent it for repairs since it was under warranty. It was ok for a while but that while didn’t last that long because I lost it / it got stolen at a Samsons concert on new year 2006.
I got freaking scared thinking my mom would kill me and so I bought another Sony. TOO BAD they stopped making T10 already by then so I had to buy an almost similar-looking T-11 but two shops I went too ran out of black ones. And so I bought a silver one and lied (again) to my mom saying Sony replaced it by the silver one since the ‘T-10’ she bought me had too many problems.
Somewhere this year, about three to four months ago, the T-11 started vibrating too!!!!! Now warranty’s finished and I really swear to never buying any Sony digital cameras again! Lesson learned: buy cameras from camera brands, buy make-up from make-up brands.
As for your T-10, I feel sorry for you. In fact, I feel you. You can still use it, but it will get worse in time, it will shake more in months to come. As for now, everytime it vibrates (it vibrates only when in shooting or video mode right?) switch it to Play mode. If it doesn’t lessen, remain in Play mode, off it for a while and switch it back on and only switch to shooting mode again after about well, 10 seconds or so?
If it still doesn’t lessen, try facing the LCD screen to the floor horizontally (I hope I can word this right) and shake it, literally shake it for a couple of seconds. This often helps a little but once you switch it to shooting mode again, it will usually vibrate again.
I hope my lengthy comment and take-it-from-me will help you a little. A gentle reminder that, my listed solutions are temporary only and based from my own experience, the camera’s condition will get worse in time 🙁
re: the mystery sweet smell – this time of the year it’s either jasmine or osmanthus.
OMG IT IS OSMANTHUS!!!!!!! I FINALLY FOUND OUT!!!!! THANK YOU!!!
Reply you all properly people!!!
Today i went to the arcade it was so bloody fun!!!
Hmm, I wonder why so many complaints abt Sony. I’ve been using my Sony DSC P-150 for a couple of years now, and so far no problems. Hope this isnt an omen that my Cybershot is nearing its expiry too! :O
Even DSLRs can go faulty too. Mine did during a 2 month stay in Malaysia. You can ask Cheesie..I couldn’t shoot her bidal show because of it and also had to borrow a friend’s cam for her Miss.Fasio. My friend’s brand new 40D already got problems and she has barely used it.
hmm seems like most T-10 users faced the same problem with their camera. will never ever buy this camera..
I had blurry vision for the next 2 minutes at least, after watching your video. Beh.
That’s what I call high technology “Image Stabilization”.
= P
hi ringo!
: ) the sweet smell right? it’s actually from the osmanthus trees which can be found anywhere in china..* if i’m not mistaken *
the last time i got there.. i fell in love with the smell immediately! practically sniffing everywhere, trying to locate where it’s from…and den!!!
i finally found it XD
HAHAHAHAHA… i ta pau-ed the flowers n the smell lasted at least one week..so throughout my whole china tour trip, i was smelling my ’tissue pouch’ the whole time! * pengsan *
hehe.. my dad bought me an osmanthus shrub-tree.. * so happy * : )
anyway, try looking for small small yellow flowers from bonsai looking plants. its really really cute ^^
enjoy ur trip!!
ok….so random!! : )
THANK YOU TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHERE CAN I BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!
phengz: gonna verify tomo. i think you just saved my life.
u r cute! a bit look like indonesian girl, i have noticed it from the beginning, don’t apply too thick (make-up) on your face, let it be natural although we all know that u don’t have fair skin, just a little comment. 🙂
oh dear DX
my T10 acted like that when i came back from Japan last year due to COLD T^T but now its just fine….providing it doesn’t heat up…DX
my pink T-10 vibrated as bad as yours too!!!!
Was so freaked out cause I used my own pocket money to buy it. 🙁
And while it was crazily vibrating, it’s super hot..
Sony cams comes with super outlook, never know it happen till like that. *super sad*
Hey Cheesie.
I have a Sony T-2 too, that looks and works about the same as T-10 (right up to the slider function), and it started vibrating a few months back.
I manage to solved it temporarily by shaking it, but it always comes back the second time you use it.
But then I discovered that it always only starts shaking in school and when ceased to use it there, it goes away.
It’s fine these days.
I still haven’t figured out what went wrong, and what special features does my school have to cause it to vibrate like that (almost always starts vibrating when I use at a particular place. Some say something about ‘haunted’ but I brushed that theory off) but your camera may be like mine, don’t give it up just yet, wait till you get back to Malaysia to use it.
Best of luck.
