I looked sadly at my master as he took out the new digital camera he had
bought. I felt sad that I am just an old and broken camera. My life ended up in that
small and dark storeroom.

I was born in the Nikon Factory located in Shah Alam. The film in my body
is the main organ which is functioned to capture sweet memories. It is a chemically
reactive material that records a fixed or still image when the film is exposed to
light. The lens is used to focus, enlarge or minimize the image by controlling the
light from the image being photographed.

I was the latest model at those times. I felt extremely proud when I was
displayed in the glass cupboard. The price tag in front of me labelled RM 2998.87.
During the night time, I was secured by the sophisticated alarm system. Sometimes,
I felt lonely as friends were bought by their masters except me.

One day, the man I had waited for a long time appeared in the store. He is
the famous photographer at that time, Byran Boxwell. The first photo he took is his
girl who is his wife now. He captured beautiful scenery with my help. It was the
happiest moment I have ever had.

My master polished me tenderly and with full attention. He kept my lens in

the case for safety purpose. But one day, his hand slipped and I fell onto the
ground. The glass of my lens broke into pieces. Suddenly, my world became dim
and dull.

He sent me to the repair shop as quick as lightning. The shop owner inserted
a new lens for me but I could not function anymore. Therefore, my master had to
buy a new camera. At that time, the digital camera was created. He bought a brand
new digital camera. Disappointment spread in my mind.
 The digital camera can take coloured photos. There are many new functions
that are really convenient. Finally, my master kept me in the storeroom. Memories
with my master recalled my mind as I closed my eyes in despair.
