My Sony A5100 was failing me ever since the last Malaysian Festival. The LCD would blank out and I would take pictures "blind". After the Penang Open 2025, it totally gave out. Now I am without a camera. It is sad because the A5100 has been my faithful companion to chess tournaments since before COVID. RIP old friend.

I need a camera but can't afford it.

✨ I am putting this intention out into the universe:
The right opportunity will come at the right time.

Whether through:
• Extra work
• Unexpected blessings
• Generous support
• Or a chance I haven't yet imagined

I trust that the path to my next camera is already unfolding.

📝 Until then, I'll keep doing what I love:
• Sharing stories from the chess world
• Supporting our players
• Contributing to the community with whatever resources I have

Sometimes manifestation isn't about waiting for miracles—
It's about holding onto the vision while continuing to take steps toward it every single day.

🌟 One day, I'll be covering tournaments with that Sony ZV-E10 in my hands. (aiming for a used one @ RM 2000)

And when that day comes,
I'll remember this moment as the beginning of that journey.
