Chronicle of the Dramatic Process of Finding My Camera's Charger

Just to record down this process, since it took me so long and hard to find it this time.
Maybe it would ingrain a bit of appreciation in me about this device!

The nagging thought for the week was "Can't find the charger for my camera FML." Was searching for it on The Island, doing a complete sweep for it there, and then back home, after uprooting a lot of clutter with a lot of dust flying around.

Finally, I found it hidden in the same plastic bag that I put it into while in Thailand, the instance I was there directly from Switzerland... which was about... I think at least 3 trips to Thailand ago.

Haven't charged it since ... in Switzerland.

Unlike my handphones (and of course laptops), I hardly ever charge my camera, which results in it being very easy to misplace my camera charger, with the resultant titanic struggle to locate it.
During those times, I could only imagine real life having a "Ctrl+F" feature to search using keywords. Ahhh, if only.

That could only mean one (1) of three (3) things:

1. The battery life is really very satisfactory.
2. I seldom use my camera. (?)
3. I seldom ever use flash when I use my camera.


Seems like it can last for an infinite number of shots whenever I shoot without flash,
and a remarkably high number of shots even with flash.

The last time many shots were taken with flash was the Zouk-Bachata Night two weeks ago, when Sze took a lot of low-light action photos, all of course requiring flash. Yet I still never needed to charge it. Until now (still haven't charged.)
