kinda accepted BUT
e rest depends on my will for surviving in school

somehow, i really regreted wat i've done in sch
but tt's the past, i still gotta carry on and graduate

apologise to aug regarding the camera

CNY doesnt make a different this year
family gathers to floating platform

to see decorations
just tt e location is diff this year
nearly have nth much to say bout the chinese new year
probably it's only e 3rd day =)

i was toasted in e afternoon
the sun was really hot and i dun have e mood to walk in town =/

prefer to stop & rest w/ my fav belgium ice blended

perharps i shld go to musuems and galleries again :)

photo freakies

cleaning my room is always a must every 2 weeks
not forgetting to clean again tdy as part of my
FAMILY SPRING CLEANING "programme"

dig out lotsa things frm my cupboard
lotsa things = PAST MEMORIES

found out some old photos tt were taken when i was sec 2
i mean i took them when i was sec 2 in e year 2001
.... how many years..................

they were taken by film camera

i was so surprise to see those photos
cant believe i took them when i was only 14 years old
quality wasnt very good compare to digital camera
i even have a handmade paper photo album to keep these photos

started to fell sick this monday
but as usual, i took a bus frm sch to town
playing my MP 3, sitting at the back of e bus
& keep snapping against the window.....
the sun doesnt bother bout my health

as it continue to smile happily at me

one of my fav collage of sunset



they're taken using manual mode
ISO 80 & shutter spd @ 1/250 to 1/750
under white fluorescent light

i took a MC on tuesday =/
& stayed at home for 3 days till friday
i went out snapping again, using aug's D70 :)

headed to Demsey after going to my cafe for a short talk w lisa
the weather was VERY humid
i dehydrated in the bus as i had just recovered & din bring my water
terribly needed water urgently & after kissing =/

i did enjoyed the walk alone w my songs in my MP3
the event space was taken over by e cafe @ Demsey House
no longer can i fool around like i use to w someone :)
anw, he's not with me ytd la, so makes no different -.-

snapped bout 300 plus photos ?
probably it's just a small digit compare to those who take nearly 1000 photos a day :)

met up w li xie & kenny for City Alive briefing @ PA auditorium
it's @ Old Kallang Airport !!!!!!!!!!!!
can you imagine !!!!!!!!!!!!
I FINALLY STEPPED INTO THE PLACE
cos i only pass the place with my eyes locked the the control tower
yep it was once a control tower to control the aircraft for landing & take off :)

gather w my parent @ my neighbour hood for supper
dad & mum LOVES to go down for shopping for Chinese New Year so much!
they used to shop for goodies @ china town

but ever since those goodies are transported to my neighbourhood
they "quit" going to china town for shopping
which is relief for me
cos i dislike squeezing with the crowds with shopping bags =/

NYPPC is organising a photo trip to sentosa tmr!!!
I'M GOING !!!!
another day to wake up early
chore to decide which bag to bring as i'm bringing D70 with me !!
thanks to aug for lending me his precious cam as well as the prime lens
making everything small and convenient for me :)

Realisation

many people always tell me
" Be prepare for any chances tt's on e way & grab it "

nobody ever tell me
" Chances will be there and leave silently "

for a second, i felt i've miss the chance
for a minute, i felt that it have been waiting for me
no matter how long it wait, it have been waiting for me

skills are not enough without understanding
for some times, i feel tt i dun understand photography
but i put effort to learn MORE bout it
taking better pictures with e understanding
of wat setting capture wat type of images
accepting all genres of photography
better understanding of waz golden hour
when to use daylight or white Fluorescent Light

uploaded Self Made Polaroid in FB as early as 4am in e morning
for a experiment in photography, i cant slp =/



did a reflection onmy life after i rejected someone 4 hrs ago
nth changes
i still live in my passion
photography, arts, dance & sailing

Photo Rebels

exhibition gallery was closed after we climbed 8 stories of stairs
photos were taken randomly





collage inspired by Lomo

Being Emo

since it's our personal bloggy
is thr any problem being emo ONCE IN A WHILE?

:) no offence but sometimes
we just love to type wat we feel
but when it comes to official open blog
we'll know wat to type & wat not to type :)
so dun worry so much bout gals being emo
while typing for a official open blog

leaving aside, tin's gonna go for fringe fest exhibition this evening w simin

besides tt, i'm missing someone
someone whom i missed A LITTLE BADLY
after my HP & SIM card was spoilt
& all contacts were gone

fortunately, he texted me ytd afternoon
& i got his contact again :)
counting the days we knew each other ...
it's been a year !
but due to his NS, we seldom meet up
cos i'm always busy at nite =/

anw, we're going to take some time out during e weekends
suntan, gallery & museum visit, gossips tgt =)
cya soon baby, gonna start missing you sometimes @.O

Packed Wed

we were late for the checkup on monday so it was postponed to wed

meet up w/ simin at northpoint on tuesday nite
had a meal at mac bout 10pm
to fill my stomach as i need to fast for 8 hours for my ME

am glad tt we wasnt late but we were 10 min early before 8.20am
& e queue at e entrance for declaration of purpose of visit wasnt tt long

mean, me and xiang yi and e other 2 gals were the only gals at the ME
e rest were all GUYS.........

i can consider myself lucky cos xiang yi was with me thru out the check up

thr were 7 areas to be check

i was so scare bout the blood test
cos i was afriad of the needle
indeed, it was very painful
but lucky me, i've got moses " to ease my pain"

not only him, thr was another nurse who was very nice to us
lucky us, the nurse was a SHE
who check other part of our body

she was very patience with us and calm us
i can say tt thruout the whole ME, she was w/ us most of the time
cos we are FEMALE :)

for once, i kinda enjoyed the ME @ CMPB
cos thr're so many ppl tt we could talk bout
good & bad of course

coincidently met shawn, my kayaking senior
and went back to school for SIA-Cabin crew career talk

during e talk
i realised tt my passion for serving passenger in-flight had sieze
being an air-stewardess is almost a dream of every gal
MAIN REASON WAS
THEY LOOK GOOD IN THEIR UNIFORM AND MAKEUP
i wasnt an exception :)
however, ever since i quit my service line in hotel
the passion wasnt thr anymore
knowing wat the REAL JOB of an air stewardess

one sentence tt well describe me now
" I'll prefer served by e air stewardess and enjoy the flight
rather than me serving my passenger. "

i was still hesitating shld i join SIA or NAVY
but my instinct truely told me tt NAVY is e best choice for me
not only the pay & the life is good
it's actually wat i love to do
* tin shall not reveal so much cos it's a open journal *

settled some personla stuff before going to geek terminal
e talk by willy foo was really inspiring
thru this talk, i realised tt thr're diff aspect in photography
which kinda let me feel " i c......" nodding my head
leaving me wandering in the word PHOTOGRAPHY

RSN Medical Examination

received an medical appointment letter frm RSN few days ago
i decided to go for the check up this time as i did not went e last time

thanks to xiang yi for morning call me

I AM SO HUNGRY NOW
but i cant eat cos gotta fast for 8 hrs
eat a lot last nite anw .......
am hoping e blood test will not be tt painful =/

still thinking if i shld go for my one hour lesson in sch ltr

Marina Barrage

i'm wasnt online for a long time ever since e start of e new year
taking sometime away frm e virtual world make my world a little peace :)
w/out knowing tt i have 9 friends request & photo tagged frm FB



i was out on a trip this afternoon to Marina Barrage
w wei liang, NYPPC member
been sometimes since e club organise outings
nope, this was just our own photo trip
or rather, my off day outing :)





its been a long time since i experience strong wind in SG
beside biking 120km/h on e expressway
the wind on e 3rd floor of MB was killing me........
my hair was in a mess and it nearly entangled

at last, i'm willing to wear my cap
been a year since i wear cap & i LOVE my new style >.<





afternoon tea at a cafe on e 2nd storey
e moment i step into the cafe till i left
i was brought back to sweet-bittery past
by those smoothing (heart-breaking) melodies
while we were enjoying the drink & some little talk





manage to take this cute shot
w/ a pair of couple taking their wedding photos * sweet *



i just wanna take e sign of e water playground
so coincidently, e couple fit into e composition
well enough to make a short story
so i snap it w/out a second thought :)

SHOW OFF A LITTLE OF MB :)













i (finally) caught a cold in e evening while watching e sunset =/
moodless to take picture but rest like a patient on e grass
