title: i feel fine.
Sunday, April 11, 2010 AT 12:26 AM


i feel fine.

frankly, "fine" isnt really how i should feel. but surprisingly, i feel fine.

guess meeting the txy SPH helped a lot. well sitting there, showing my photos helped. i guess when it comes to photography, i'm quite confident about it. which is great. even if i have lots to try and improve on.

well had good feedback from the full time journalist. glad to get positive feedback. thanks jia yin.

dsi xl! hello!

hopefully poly will be smooth sailing. it cant be that bad, right? my good friends are surviving.

prayers.

great dinner with family today :D

fml.

face it, i'm the last teenager on earth to say it. or to even say it.

and whats with this thing whereby teenagers have to say it one way or another during the times of their lives.

apparently thats what i noted after coming back from my job hiatus.

i swear to god, talking about how work fills my life really paints me as a very weird person. who will really love their job? its rare. i did.

but its causes there's a job with awesome people, photography becoming a fulfillment. and going out with friends actually feels more balanced and doesnt happen too often to make things "wait, already asked them out".

stupid country that emphasises on the need of a college/diploma education. if not for that i would had continued on working. but opps, that means NS for 2 freaking years if i dont go to school and when i'm back i'll so out of touch with work.

fuck this when i'm perfectly comfortable with my work life.

well now things feel really stuck. cause i cant seem to finish novels, movies and video games without wanting to fast forward while expecting them to give me that "I LOVE LIFE NOW cause i found new perspective and meaning" kind of epiphany. and at the back of my head is me seeing myself getting thrown into poly, ns, uni and being filtered down to nothing. when it all contradicts cause i just wanna stay still and not go to poly and get eaten up.

okay, shallow ranting.

but thats cause my friends seems to be PMS-ing at the same time. some cause of horrible block test results, some are sick of life, some are ranting how poly break is gonna be over and whatnot.

well nothing satisfies me for long now. i cant immerse in anything. nothing lasts, just like magic time. oh so blue, but so quickly swept away.

ugh stupid emo post which i have never posted for years. thought i was done with negativity and moving on to positivity. just hate it when i'm not productive. its like Sims 3, the sims getting pissed when they do nothing when they have the workaholic trait. stuck inside.

moving on. and fml, for now.

so much more to say but i rather not. gosh, school reopening, a good thing or not.

and oh, i think i finally have my shot at love with the phone numbers and all. thanks yesterday night. but only to figure maybe you aint the right one. and maybe your life is something i cant comprehend and be fully supportive of. and whatnot and whatnot.

i cant believe i watched lizzie mcguire movie for inspiration. kinda did? the song?

teenage angst. annoying.

title: drawing the lines for definitions .
Monday, April 5, 2010 AT 2:26 AM


drawing the lines for definitions.

when it comes to life, i guess i cant have a pure distinction on things. things have its shades and i cant see one thing as a definite form. a friend can only be there for passive times and maybe not forever throughout. he/she may be supportive 24/7 for regular basis situations but not during tough tension moments.

i guess thats what i have learnt today.

as much as i love spending time with people around me, you cant expect them to be there forever and for every situation even if they are just right beside you. intentions may not be there.

anyway

somethingg i will never expect:

oversleeeping and missing the time to meet a friend. GOSH. this has never happened before. guess a first time for everything. gosh the panic, terror and disappointment was actually (surprisingly) more than the-almost-late-for-school-feeling.

so, SORRY SUSU and kristen bell (heart sign)!

aww i could really use the love in our hearts feeling from when in rome since love life counts ZERO now. but oh well. it was nice catching up with susu. mjc is always super fun sounding. you'll never encounter such stuff in yj. and also, susu singing BABY BABY was so annoying that it was in my head during work. justin whatever beaver.

su is always judging. tsk tsk. see her facial expressions! oblivious to her judging tendencies.

AND i think we are very different in thinking! when her friend lost a lover pair kind of item, her thought was to steal from the guy and make him think he lost the item too and wont be mad. while my logical train of thought is to simply replace the item.

and talking about the alternative lifestyle, a bit of work and whatnot. i guess after expressing all these stuff, it makes me want a 24/7 person there to meet after work and talk about such stuff. a lover, by definition. friends cant possibly be there to hear rants all the time. not really what lovers might do, but close enough in terms of dedication. yet no one can be there forever.

right now, after ending work and all, there's this hollowness which i really want to find that one kind of person to share with and know i can trust and wont be worried about them adding more to the chasm by disappearing suddenly. well one thing about that. another thing to draw the line and rely on one self.

one thing about today: NOTHING went as planned.

like for gym. her laang nose-bleed suddenly. felt the strong inclination to get him to stop and go home. BUT it was still damn nice to catch up with him. in a way, with weekly meet ups, it makes punctuating life that much easier. rather than running with no stop, losing control of thoughts. good to have some one to reflect thoughts with.

WELL good luck to both of us in finding love love love.

nose bleed? what "too heaty"? bet its cause of some gym girl.

good to see him again though.

event was well tough. didnt really meet nice people. gave me a damn hard time. throwing a horrible tone at me. and when i give the frustrated and confused look, they went "dont give me that look" when they were the one lashing words at me and giving me the exact same look. which btw mine was really toned down cause i was starting to cry, i didnt even start my provoking tone that i used to be unable to control. so you expect me to smile dumbly at you. i was trying so hard to get through to you two too. who the hell started the horrible what-you-want-and-what-is-wrong-with-you tone.

i guess i traded provoking for vulnerability. which is much better i guess since i avoid conflict and move on without much aftermath having to drag bigger people in. much improvements thanks to lorraine's words that she said to me months ago about working with people in the service sector. they can either make things easier or much more difficult which is unnecessary.

so tired of the forced smile in the difficult world of service sector. just cause you are having difficulties on your part running the show, doesnt mean you can pull other people down when they are trying to work and setting up. at the end of the day, i'm still just a very small inexperienced kid. too easily swayed by the things around me. you dont pay me, i dont know you, you have no right to vent anger on me.

dont go saying you are part of the team when you are not and making me waste my time talking to you. and end up scolding me.

well worse of all, people who i spoke highly off didnt interfere and help. i guess they didnt hear whats going on and just peeked at the scene. and they didnt catch my plead for help when i was giving the i'm-frustrated-and-gonna-cry-look-please-come-and-help-me and looked away? i'm not too sure, was so vexed and controlling tears to give hope on them coming and ask whats wrong.

and sometimes, i dont know what they expect of me. they ask me to put the router up high for signal. so i said i'm gonna get a chair thats only 4 meters away. and they said its not necessary when i cant reach that high. and give the what-are-you-thinking kind of feel.

cant people let me try and do things my way. its not like i wont ask for help when things fail.

learnt one thing. fight your own fights. dont bother looking around for help. no one's coming. even if they are super nice 24/7 on a regular situation. not everybody will go all out. dont be surprise when people stop and stare or be oblivious. and dont literally fight, just smile and move on. let them know that NOTHING they are doing is gonna get to me. and be diplomatic.

super glad that the tears didnt last long and i was forcing a good convincing smile when giving photos. just that voice was super shaky. which just sounds like i'm tired.

so glad that its over.

also, it doesnt seem acceptable to cry and be vulnerable. cause when you have that moment, you may slip into something deeper. and the whole big bad world aint gonna loosen itself just cause poor jarratt is gonna cry and be small.

fuck.

life has to continue going on.

title: guest starring.
Thursday, April 1, 2010 AT 11:41 PM


guest starring.

well its finally over yesterday and maybe if you count today.

If things don't end, then how do you tell that its getting good. so to new beginnings. a guest star leaves the stage.


this internship was life changing. i'm more confident. without it, i wont feel so good about the long breaks while waiting for poly to start. and i wont have a purpose in photography and my social skills would had been poorer.

there were times i was so pissed or demoralised that i felt the company wasnt the place for me. sometimes i felt like i'm right at home. its an up and down thing. but i'm just glad to be accepted in the end.

i will miss everybody cause they have been really nice to me. and i hope i will still see them through part time jobs, random studio and outdoor shoots and whatnot.

they taught me so much.

today, i felt a sense of finale tone. i guess some feelings dont just go away. i KIV-ed it during the internship and i was reminded of it again when i saw the faces. i guess i saw perfection and cant get what i want. which is just too bad. i guess i finally felt that i wont be able to see you ever again, least not that much. lost chances and possibilities.

and amongst other meaningless things. so i guess its too bad that we are just friends and lesser. at least thats what i think it would be to you.

nothing worth dwelling into this. move on and block out those feelings. best not to acknowledge too much of it or it'll feed on me.

so yeah, long story cut short, mixed feelings. withdrawing from it may be tough. but i gotta move on. in a way, everything fell into place. and dear God, i'm grateful for that. thanks :)

final laughs with the people for now. hopefully more to come.

dinner with yz yd ad. sometimes i feel that the efforts arent worth it cause of lack of enthu and disagreements. but at the end of it, it always seem worth it. glad to spend time with them today. walked by clarke quay, just like how i hoped for when hanging out at there last week at enthusiast photography class.

on another note, damn glad to work with chris for yesterday's event. last full time event, glad to spend it with him. good laughs. good to know him better. what a weirdo. :D

thanks guys for the elmo! i'll hug the fat elmo and think of you guys.

title: secured with what i have.
Friday, March 19, 2010 AT 2:55 AM


secured with what i have.

its a big big big world and i miss you much. i should know better than to listen to sad songs about how big the world is and how lost one can get. but i guess times like this, it isnt that bad to accept the hollow feeling and take a quick dip into the water.

well many things have happened since i last blogged. and its a crime to scan through them. but i guess all i can focus now on is what i feel now?

one of the highlight would be meeting nicole for a quick PS3 day! super fun. especially the whole sabotaging each other in Bomberman and to find ourselves both trapped by our bombs. it was fun running through games with her. gosh i miss Folklore. i guess she's real lucky to have friends in poly that respect her and wont force her to do things she doesnt want to do and just live her life. hopefully thats the way for me too.

gym with her laang was on a quick MIA for a while cause of busy schedule. get to see him recently. was good. quick catchup. which i quite appreciate the brief free time i have before events on weekends. even though i'm so darn tried and wanna sleep more. still glad to spend time with him.

in these few short days, things happened. i learnt a lot more. witnessed a lot more. tried new things. on the surface my hair is much longer than i would EVER let it grow if i was still in college. and its a nice change. in the inside, i am more passive than ever, but i communicate better and among other things.

i'm a bit clinging to my life now. and cant seem to get myself to get on board to the new life i planned for myself; sph. sorry jia yin! cold feet and didnt go for orientation. guess i'm just comfortable with life as it is now. time with the company has been good as always. i actually dont mind living on $500 bucks a month + any event money with the colleagues cause they make every day so darn cool. laughter and challenges. i grow and learn. i may be stuck in the same routine, but with them, every moment is fresh. oh well, guess its not my time (age) to live that life in the company.

to wrap up how i feel about them, i always say this "everybody's so nice to me. and i dont get why"

i may be feeling a bit empty in terms of love. but i guess with their day to day interactivity, who cares about lovelove.

anyway, so glad to meet yu ding yesterday. starting to understand her more. hopefully she'll figure her life out soon!

there's so much to say and i guess its insane and kinda stupid to dwell on it. as much as i am secured with this, i have to let go and find a new life. and on the bright side, doesnt mean i wont see the company people ever again. if i really built bonds with them, i'll be in contact with 'em one way or another. thats so Persona.

today's event. scooping up crab poo, not fun.

random shizz from the past week:

heavy rain that flooded the drain and road. mad rush in uploading equipment in the heavy rain. was fun. tiring. and fun.

eighteen eighteen with an attitude

well these short days were filled with many things. so many emotions. and hello. its only been 3 days since i blogged.

on tuesday, i finally met yu ding up for kinokuniya. oddly enough, she didnt buy anything. NOTHING AT ALL. no japanese shizz! so i did all the buying thanks to paycheck motivation! gotta thank brian for pulling me into events last month.

26823_334546978557_647438557_3679267_7348519_n

my gosh, looking at all those japanese manga, makes me wanna learn japanese. all those journeys.

well it was fun. brief catch up. random jokes. nice dinner. then she ran off to korean class. we shall plot for her JK business!

yesterday (HAHA i was a little confused cause when i typed "yesterday" it was exactly 12.00am and so its Friday when i wanted to talk about Wednesday. sudden confusion)

anyway, about yesterday. sudden impulse on kebabs thanks to boss's photo snapshot of kebabs in australia from his iphone while i was craving for it. was pushed further by raj's orders for kebabs! so i rushed over. and met up with brian for kebabs.

26823_334858208557_647438557_3680083_5961516_n

chris seeing the surprise we left for him when he crossed over to the other side. brian's bright idea.

well kinda sad day. cause chris and lester are flying off! but i guess it aint so bad cause they will be back like tuesday. which is pretty darn close. plus weekends is like a free holiday (PRAYING) so i guess time will FLY. and lorraine will be back! MY GOD, OFFICE. IS. VERY. MESSY. i had to throw away the litter. i miss lorraine and her cleaning antics.

(OMG HOPEFULLY MAD GAMING WITH NICOLE)

when sending them to the airport, i had an odd feeling. i guess when i saw changi airport, i felt how fragile life is. in terms of "coming and going". how people leave easily and go overseas for a new breath of life. which makes me realise how nothing in the workforce last forever. as much as i love working with them and i feeel like i belong, things wont last. cause nobody exceeds 1 year in the company. i'm leaving this month. and whatnot.

i guess the office feels empty without them. oh well. will be seeing them soon. *prays for elmos as gifts from aus*

.. :D

ps. learnt that i'm quite impulsive. which should be controlled. in terms of work execution. replies. annnd buying :D

on a random thought. i need to start being exposed to more things. everyone is having their own projects. exploring options. looking at other people's work. need to be like them.

and oh, enrollment process is effing irritating.

had a 10.30pm to 2.30AM event later. which was hell. i practically did nothing and rotted to death. incapable of acting busy. my omg the crowd was HUGE. like 80 tables or something. camwhores. *suicide*

i guess thats all?

26823_332505253557_647438557_3674180_3768897_n

HEAVY RAIN! so glad to see it in stores!

a little disappointing cause there isnt much detective thinking. unexplained shizz. random murderer but logically chosen due to storyline agenda. so sick of the quick time events that looks the same. though the last part with jayden was exciting.

the part of the mother in the hospital saddens me. how can one forget about his parent in the hospital. how is forgetting about her and leaving to the nurses gonna help a mental patient. no love. the time for medication may be compromised by how busy the hospital is. and the parts on how they dont get much attention and rot there day long is UGH. not even television cause of their inability to pay for it. grr. whats there to keep them occupied. ugh to how life pushes people away when trapped in busy routines and priorities.

well. i like the journey nonetheless. making theories of who the murder is. excited to rush through the game to get to the revelation (which omg makes sense but was oddly placed which didnt have much impact on me. was expecting it to be at the final FINAL part. gave the facts away a bit too early.) and replaying parts to get the perfect outcome.

oh well.

anyway. i realised that i dont care about american idol. fast forwared to aaron kelly, lee dewzye, crystal bowersox and haeley vaughn.

omg aaron kelly likes photography! poor boy thinks that the camera is honest. the paparazzi uses it to distort truth, dood.

i like haeley vaughn! i like how SHE ACTUALLY sticks to being herself. people go around saying they are SMILEY and whatever happy things. WHEN they are the ones who usually get moody and bugs about life. and sad to say, thats cause of events in life which is uncontrollable. people who are genuinely happy are rare these days and sadly you dont see them waltzing down the street. when haeley smiles, i can feel her happiness. though i was really hoping for the close-eyes-feel-the-music-get-lost-in-it thing when she sang the climb. well i think she's fun anyway.

23650_326317353557_647438557_3651686_2909864_n

PS. CHUCK SEASON 2 IS GETTING AWESOME BY EACH EPISODE. ellie made me cry. aww. when she was getting "harassed" by 'Awesome' 's parents.

shall not go out tomorrow night. wanted to ask a long lost friend out. but figured family time with mum was more important. since i shouldnt really bother with lost contacts for now.

title: you better go find somebody new
Tuesday, March 2, 2010 AT 1:23 AM


you better go find somebody new

been a while eh.

so many things have happened. events as per usual. award ceremony. trial shoot with sph. masterclass class. etc etc.

things with the company has been good. so i'm grateful. i'm less self conscious and have the courage to do things my way without much doubt. still need guidance. but i'm strong on my stands, which is good at times. one month left. think i will skip taking day offs.

gosh. 700bucks for gps. shucks man. thanks that m1 removed 400bucks from it. signed up for a plan. 100mb for 10bucks? gosh, doubt its enuff. thanks dad for the back up.

signing up for poly is messy shit. thanks mum for the help!

ANYWAY

its finally here! my 24 seven heartland beats photography competition award ceremony! well, i guess i'm sad since i scored only merit. then again, i asked for it cause my photograph HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HDB FLATS. oh well. wasted, could had been used for SYPA. oh well.

right now, i'm DOUBTING a lot of things. like my talent for sypa. mainly cause the shots dont appeal to much cause of editting and concepts. but its okay. cause i like 'em.

i cant picture my life without the people i met at the company. frankly, some of my friends only cared about my photography cause i was in the same school in them and the photos revolves around them during school events. not so much of attention from them. maybe they aint my audience. the encouragement from the company really pushes me.

a thing that bugs is where i see myself years from now. seriously. i'm 17 going on 18. sitting at the last row of the award ceremony. merit. and i look around seeing this very old guy covering the event who didnt really do a very good job in it. seriously. is he even paid? and i wonder if i will be 50 and covering such events. what? only chances for community events? seriously. and at another platform, i only know of community based awards. i can really forget about the serious ones. though lester etc says i should care about the community too. apparently, this locally famous photographer goes for ALL competitions. *shrugs*. and why are community events.. so community. overbearing loud and so nation educational.

i really yearn for the day when i can be at something of a higher class which really appreciates the art of photography. like letting the top winners talk about their concepts. their path. not for the stupid for show thing. (see? i'm doing something to interact with the community! we did something!) i guess i cant expect much from community events. it doesnt seem to really focus on photography. and maybe what materials they can earn from us? i dont know. i dont have a good impression.

is there gravity to hold down our social status? forever trapping us? rich gets richer? well i feel out of touch with ground now. cause gravity aint working right. it isnt letting me float on the right issues.

its a long effing story on what i think about my career and i couldnt care less about it now. the great thing about being in the company is that i dont think about such things anymore. i just go to work. learn. get serious. laugh. joke. and forget about everything else. work in a positive note on my way to something. cause it feels like there's something going with them and it will prepare you for beyond that. cause there's always people around to help each other out in uncertainty. no need for bursting into fear. causal talk saves the day with them.

nonetheless. thank you for the merit. wasnt feeling good. so i ate a lot. and had a himym short marathon. laughed.

congrats on jia yin for winning too! was so glad that she was sitting beside me throughout!

SPH!

honestly. i didnt like the idea of going back. do the same thing. and maybe get rejected again. and this time is may be so torturous cause the other people will be so much younger than me. thankfully it was a joy. i wasnt expecting to be with jia yin and pearlyn. that was a bonus. was actually ready to mingle. glad to see amanda too. well was different than sec 2. more confident. get my point across well. and was glad to see people of my age in my team.

trail shoot as usual. much easier thanks to the courses by the company. lester is right, its good for us to go for courses. i think i'll go for some exterior ones.

MASTERCLASS.

no way! i was suppose to cover an event. BUT mike felt that i should go for the class and "help out" and let me off! WOW so thoughtful! thanks :D seriously, i have NO KNOWLEDGE of how to help out. i was just busy scribbling notes down. digesting concepts and technical stuff. DAMN i feel so lucky to catch the masterclass class for.. FREE. its like what? 500bucks! and learnt damn lots. brian and lester was very keen on getting me to participate. preparing cameras for me. thanks.

wow, sometimes i wonder how they get themselves to do so many things out of goodwill.

on another note. i aint so much on the self conscious note anymore. still a little. but i behave the way thats natural for me. and dont care how people judge me and whether they want to work with me ever again. even with that said, no i'm not being an ass. i just dont care whether the person think i'm that person who can be easily suppressed. i'm just gonna learn as much as i can. learn about myself. act natural and move on. gotta be confident. more confident, actually?

not gonna go "should behave this way in order to have some back up to here again". stop being so middle man and get played by both sides? no reference to anything. random thought.

well thats all for now. life's been good. god, i love gram's chicken curry. curry chicken.

dangerously armed with a... NETS card

wow! did you know that when you photocopy your olvl cert given by MOE, a COPY COPY COPY pattern will appear? cool. imagine photocopying exam answers with "CHEATER CHEATER CHEATER" appearing at the back.

work till 8pm in the office tonight. mad load of work. nice concerns from colleague. took a cab home. got home three time faster than usual. napped in the cab. able to communicate better with family. 20bucks exchanged for energy, time and proper conversation with family. worth it.

anyway!

title: yet another day and everything is quite allright
Thursday, February 25, 2010 AT 12:49 AM


yet another day and everything is quite allright

well, its been a while. and there's a lot to talk about. i've been living on my private journal for a while. writing down emotions. and i guess it helps cause it feel that its all locked up somewhere out of sight and out of mind. i actually dont remember what i wrote. so i guess the troubles are far away.

i've been playing a lot of Defender Chronicles. which is like wow. i guess i'm addicted like my boss, brian and chris. but damn it. i wanna get all the Gold Stars and maybe finish Legendary and Mystic (if they decide to be less of a diva and appear). and be oh so powerful. and buy all the wow equipment. stupid grinding that barely let me get any gold. was on a strike this morning, scoring so many. until just now when i get so lazy in management and lost every single match that i use to win.

guess i'm tired.

lost? keep getting stronger. build a better stronghold and win

Picture 016

Picture 046

well last sunday, i finally FINALLY met up with her laang. gosh, i lost my "developed" muscles after 2 weeks of no gym. and please, ITS WAS NOTHING TO BEGIN WITH. my gosh, its like +0.0324 of jarratt's fitness going back to 0. i guess chris is right about the mass theory. gotta eat more. it was a nice workout that passed by wayy too fast. i wished i get to train more. but gah, tight day.

lunch with her laang. mcdonalds. cause we just love to waste our gyming efforts. all the best to his NAPFA. pretty darn sure he can do it. he goes to the gym more religiously than me. and started longer than me. and his killer squash trainings.

was nice catching up with him. gosh, if only there was more weekends for us to gym. i would be oh so much healthier looking.

went for my own shoot after that. which didnt turn out very well. i was in a cab and saw this pond FILLED WITH LOTUSES. and felt the strong inclination to shoot it. so i took down the GPS status and went back on sunday to shoot. but GOSH, it looks so underwhelming cause all the lotuses are clustered to the middle. and my 70-200mm wasnt good enuff. and yes even with 400d's crop factor.

oh well.

having my htc hero shooting photos and taking gps locations for note feels indie. living new.

it was a nice change of pace. me sitting there for things to happen. witnessing moments whereby the flock of birds randomly decided to fly off the ground at the same time and into the air and back to their trees.. twice.

wandered off looking for things to shoot. epic fail cause i saw nothing special and walked for miles.

but its okay. kinda fun.

and gosh, i just received news that my gps bill cost me 700bucks. it was 200 for last month. and total till now. which is insane. thank God, dad called them and they removed 400 from the bill. gah, and dad said he subscribed to a data plan the last time. now i have a 100mb plan for 10bucks which obviously is not enough for my gps needs. shit. cause i'm really sure i spent about 1g.

GAH GAH. i shall do something about it.

spent overnight at the office this week's monday. which was nice. we went shooting at marina barrage. brian and augustine. learnt the usefulness of long exposure. gosh, i even shot in f2.0. silly me. shot at f8 etc to see the grand differences. had a lot of night shots in mind but was distracted by augustine and brian's random ideas. from long exposure to hdr to camwhore session. fun nonetheless. my god, all the flash techniques.

the place was so cooling and nice btw.

lester didnt go cause he needed to do work at the office. by the time we went back at 4am.. he was still there. *clap*. well i couldnt wait till sun rise so i slept at 6. which i kinda regret cause the sun rise that they shot at the ferris wheel was soo good. oh well :D

the pigeon at boss's office DROVE ME NUTS. i couldnt sleep well on the couch. and brain appeared in my dreams cause i think he tried waking me up to go to the shoot. then his words were censored to the weird noises made by the pigeon. and of course, i over slept and woke up shocked cause boss came into the room.

hahaah fun night anyway.

been thinking of whether to switch to nikon. nice d700 colours. most probably not. cause 5d mark ii is WOW. used it a few times lately. holy.

cheaper by the dozen is awesome to watch again. notting hill was okay. hearing 'what christmas should be' by hilary duff at the credits with a new cheaper by the dozen edit was surreal. reminds me of the blonde16 year old girl that i fell in love with. thats amazing with each new project, appearance, and growth.

ANYWAY, cant wait for nicole to get her wii. we are gonna buy loads of new ps3 games too! EXCITED MAN.

on another note. i cant tell if *blah* is doing things for publicity. if he really cares for us. if he is really a nice person. if everything he do is well sincere. cause theres a lot of reasons to lead to it. and i find it hard to believe in him.

facade?

anyway, random snippets of my life:

gosh. dinner just now was so himym. dinner with yan zhen yuding and aidil to celebrate yuding's birthday. and i guess when i went "OMG WE ARE ALL SINGLE" when yan zhen asked about valentine's day, it all happened. we were all trying to dig out stories from someone while changing subjects like how yan zhen cant eat food for nuts and spill cheese everywhere and stuff about yuding etc etc. the constant topic changing just when one think we have forgotten about the topic like how the himym people will do in the bar! good catchup :D

gosh, i love them. loads of laughter.

hahaha lighting the cake was funny. candle blew out. well nice night.

brought kenka bancho. FINALLY!

and notting hill and cheaper by the dozen for only 7 bucks each!

"can i pay by nets?" WOOHOO :D YAYE FINALLY

Its a ride that takes you all the way up

omg, i'm so overwhelmed now that all i wanna do is jump around my roooom! before this, i was in agony. "OMG, its almost 1am and i have no uploaded my photos. what if no one sees it in time". then i uploaded in time, WOOHOOO. but i didnt get any comments (especially for the fact that i was hoping a few of the people online will comment).

then... A GIRL MASS LIKE MY PHOTOS and WOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE COMMENTS :D

i feel that my photographs have improved A LOT today thanks to brian and christopher! :D

GOSH, I SHOULD SQUEAL NOW.

anyway, sometimes i feel that i am really saved by my luck and God and guardian. i thought i could rely on google maps to find hortpark but i couldnt. all i know was that its near labrador park thanks to streetdirectory.com

so i took 804 being lost while searching my gps for it. and i happen to look up at the right time to see the bus passing by hortpark. so yeah! thank God. :D

imagine me walking around with my gps to find the place using nearby landmarks.

well, shooting flowers at the start was kinda okay? its a nice change of pace. had to zoom in from afar to catch up on macro abilities. walked a VERY HIGH bridge to henderson wave. which kinda freaked me out a little when i look down. and brian didnt help cause he jumped on the metal bridge.

lunch at vivo city. we caught some extra shots that i like :D

chris joined us at henderson wave. which was fun. random shizz here and there. talks about the defender chronicles. etc etc. it was fun seeing the both of them. glad to be able to communicate with them. MY GOD. a monkey stole a lady's bubble tea.

well, i'm proud of my shots. love. God, thank You so much :D

gotta bring my parents out more!
