    9.8.08

    Ok. Meet Torikkiri - Do shot mini.
    Basically, its nothing but a disposable camera jem bought from japan.
    Mg used it all up in Hong kong and the remainder was this lifeless body.















    While sending the film for developing, Uncle mike told me that we cant reload and use it again.
    Thats why its called a DISPOSABLE camera lol.
    Unfazed, i striped apart Torikkiri and started digging out how it worked.

    I took out the battery that powered the flash. It was a really funny battery. UFO brand.
    Heres the stupid part, i touched the capacitor that powers the flash and got the shock of my life. The cap was still fully charged! I ended up with a numb thumb(Ooo... it rhymes) for the day. Ouch..lesson learnt.


























    Anyway after figuring out how it works, I gave Jem-sama a call and we loaded the film just last night. Loading it was quite fun and funny actually.

    We were both in PITCH DARKNESS in Jems room, blindly feeding the film into the camera. Of course we did it near his door, where there was less light, but there was also no fan. Haha so After about 3 mins of sweating, we ended up with a loaded camera and a tired finger(i used my finger to wind up the film).
    Unfortunately just as we were snapping everything back, we heard a sound of metal against the floor. The stupid contact for the battery broke. Seesh.

    Anyway we just ignored it and slapped everything back together and just jammed the broken contact for the flash.
    Then we tested it and.................. IT WORKED!! I think we were both pretty pleased with ourselves. Well now we just have to finish the rolls, develop it and see if it turns out ok. So we handed it over to MG and left her to do her paparazzi thing. Careful now everyone!!
