A Nikon D40 to be precise, after reading dozens of reviews, I've decided to buy a D40 if I were to buy a DSLR.
Its not like I want to become some pro-photographer or anything, I just want to take nicer pictures when I go to events and travel and not sulk over ugly photos that I've taken. The price is around 800+ for the D40 kit. That would mean more than half of my attachment pay gone, and I've just given a bit to my mum also. =(
Anybody got good lobang? =D I know Comex is going on now, but I still deciding sia.
Anyway I was reading through MC King's blog just now. It's incredible how alive he seems to be. I suppose that's what a blog is like ah, so personal it feels so alive.
And how ironic this is:
一只从不屈服的“蟑螂”，生命力很强。

Very sad. =( I wonder what if we were all born to know when we would die? Would we strive to spend every single moment without waste, or would we just think, anyway I'm going to die, might as well slack. I don't mean that slacking is a waste of time, just that I'm sure there are things that's more meaningful than slacking away.
So lets all be thankful towards the people who've helped you, for they have spent moments of their precious life on you. Oh don't I sound like a priest! Oh so disgusting! D= Hahahhaa.
Sorry emo post. Monday, August 25, 2008 @ 11:18 PM How well do you know yourself?
Just when I thought I was beginning to understand myself more, I think I've started to change again. At this age, how many people are clear of what they want? Clear of who they are? I am naturally attracted to people who have a direction, a sense of purpose. I believe many people are like this as well?
I think I might have just tricked myself into believing the "me" that I am now.
I wonder what's wrong with me.
Darn what am I even worrying about. Its the holidays!
Or maybe its just PMS ah.
Yarh! Pek chek sia!
Summar Fest ah! Sunday, August 24, 2008 @ 12:07 PM My contacts make me drowsy when I wear them. Think its probably the big difference in the degrees bah. My astigmatism actually increased from 25 to 100 sia. What the hell lor it must be all the computer computer I'm using. My kendo buddies complained that I very emo the whole day, it's because I didn't felt a bit of discomfort ah, sorry sorry. m(T_T)m
Anyway, summer fest was still quite fun. Except for the crowd! Its SUPER DUPER crowded. I would never go to such crowded places if it wasn't for my friends ah. Bon Odori is still the best, =D and we still have Yi wen, Amanda and Gabriel (!) joining in too. Too bad MK wasn't around, he'll so regret it sia.
The food so so ba. Guess its because there weren't any cooking facilities there so the food was a bit hard and cold. The good thing was the time spent with friends! =D
Photos! Hai my photo taking skills realy CMI. Very pai seh, everyone. Click to get enlarged versions, if you want the raw file just post on my tag board I'll send to your email.
A lot of people bah.
Half-eaten, not so appetising looking anymore "rare cheesecake" on a rainy evening and bloody looking blueberry jam.
Hee both of them look good in Yukata hor? Li Ying looks so er...not chor lor. Hahahaa.
Awkward moment for us all. YOU SEE HOW MY CAMERA IS LIKE ME!? The lens blurred out the rest of the people except for Yaso-san, who's still reasonably focused. AHAHAHAHAHA *pats camera* No la joking joking all of you are very important to me (not Yaso's friends though). I thought that it's quite a pity that many of the girls' faces were blur, because they were all smiling so nicely. MUST BE BECAUSE YASO IS THERE!
KENG AND YIWEN! How long they haven't met each other liao ah? When I was resizing the pictures, I really thought that they've changed a lot lehhhhh. Too bad I can't find any old photos of them together to compare. You'll be shocked at the difference. But maybe its just me la, since I've already known them for like what, 6 years for Keng and 8 years for Yiwen lor!
Highlight of the event, Bon Odori! =D Because of the rain it had to be held in the sports hall. Its not that bad la, just that I could smell a lot of B.O hahahaha hope my buddies didn't smell my B.O also, AHAHAHA!!
EXTRAS 8D:
Could have been a nice photo, but the lighting was bad and the picture had a whole crapload of noise.
LOL YI WEN AND HER LAO BAN NIANG POSE! Even Gabs looks intimidated.
HURRAY FOR SUMMER FEST 2008!
Thank You Very Much! m(-_-)m Monday, August 18, 2008 @ 11:18 PM
I don't believe I've ever shown how the people at my (ex) workplace looks like? =D
My Officer-In-Charge's 21st Birthday in office. I just joined in some time ago. My hair so short sia!
My Boss's Birthday at the Singapore Flyer's Popeye! He's the uncle looking one on the left. The one in front is his girlfriend. =)
Sabrina, who just joined us at that time. She was from NYP. Actually my officer in charge also from NYP. Actually my boss also from NYP. Actually his girlfriend was also from NYP. Actually my boss's two brothers also from NYP. The other intern also NYP. AHAHAHA all from DMD!
The usual gang, this time with my boss's mum and his youngest brother in the front of the photo. Someone told me his brother got act in 跑吧! 孩子 before leh, but I cannot remember leh. Got time go and watch one more time.
Ah anyway the three months passed realy quickly, even though I've been counting down like every week, but on the day of leaving I really felt a bit attached to the whole company leh. Another milestone of my life, another important memory and experience, THANK YOU ELZENO! =D
OMG SINGAPORE HAS A MEDAL! Friday, August 15, 2008 @ 11:54 PM HAHAHAHA! Finally a medal since 1960! I just regret that I wasn't there to watch the match. But still feel a bit sad la, if only it was a Singapore-born athelete, I would have felt prouder. Not that I'm against chinese people but it is as though we need to depend on other countries to win.
Today was the last day of my attachment. My mind did heave a sigh of relief, but for some reason a part of me felt reluctant to leave the place as well. A small small small part of me though...
To think back ah...I've been quite lucky to have my attachment at Elzeno ah. With an attitude like mine, working there has been good. I mean I have shown my attitude in front of clients, scolded my boss >.<
Its good la, that I can leave the place with good memories. It may not be all sweet and nice memories, but I'd like to remove all the not so nice ones, leave with the better ones and the feedback given to me.
Oh yah, did I mention this? I AM SO BLUR SIA!!!!! D= I WENT TO GO DROP THE CHEQUE MY BOSS GAVE ME WITHOUT ME WRITING DOWN THE BANK ACCOUNT NUMBAR!!!! OMG!
Beijing Olympics and Happy National day! Saturday, August 9, 2008 @ 5:31 PM
HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!!! 8D I love Singapore!
Anyway I wanted to watch team Singapore march past in the country march parade thing, but I fell asleep after watching Vietnam, so I didn't get to see them anyway. -_-
Happy Birthday Yiwen! Sunday, August 3, 2008 @ 12:17 AM Yes Happy 20th Birthday Yiwen! =D
How time flies ah...the first time we met was in 2001 ah. I still remember the counsellor Yi wen, sticking to rules all the time till the extent of being boring, ahahaha. But of course, she has got her fierce side too! Running around the class (and sometimes school), chasing the guys who have made her temper flare and using her incredible pinching technique, making them under her mercy.
Sometimes I think that even though I have known Yiwen for so long liao hor, I still don't know a lot of things about her. How to say ah...I feel like I know, but when I think of some things, I don't really know eh. But for most of my friends its like that la ah...
ANYWAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY YIWEN. =D Glad to have met you!
Dramatic day. Friday, August 1, 2008 @ 11:18 PM Due to some printing mistake thing that happened on the supplier's side, my in charge got really stressed today after a lecturer from my boss and she broke down when she came back over to our side. I didn't really hear what my boss told her but I initially thought that my boss was really nasty to her so I went to the front to er...confront him after my in charge left with a really really stressful face to apologise to the client.
But after hearing his story, I understood that he did that to train her. To train her to be more independent, to be more brave. He said that he could have been nasty and deduct her salary to compensate for the incurred loss, but he thought that it was more like a lesson for all of us to learn from. I remember that my charge said that we DMD people don't learn project management, don't handle clients and anything that is business-like. Well I couldn't agree more with that, but I also think that we should force ourselves out of our comfort zones, no matter even if we don't like it. If we don't, I suppose we would never improve ourselves eh.
But anyway, after a whole day of facing flash, I couldn't wait to leave the office on time and head for my Japanese class. And on my way to the lift lobby, a voice called me:
"HEY, ARE YOU JAPANESE OR SINGAPOREAN!?"
Initially I didn't know I was being called and just walked when a 娘娘腔 looking guy approached me and repeated the question again.
I didn't reply, but stared at him as though he had an ass for a face. I was seriously contemplating whether I should blabber something like "Uh I don't understand engrish!" with a Japanese accent and bow away when he suddenly blurted with 娘娘腔 enthusiasm:
"ARE YOU INTERESTED TO BE A MODEL?! YOU'RE OUR NEW FACE!!" 8D
I am 100% positively sure that my expression would give immediately turn off anyone with the offer of wanting me to becoming a model. My whole face was cramping from the lame way he exploded his question. It felt like he popped out from some manga and was running wild on the streets, with his ridiculous 娘娘腔 clothes that didn't match his face one bit.
Well anyway I raised a palm and shook it in front of his face and he was like:
"OH YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM?"
Again I threw him an incredulous look.
"I AM SINGAPORE'S FAMOUS BLAH BLAH!" (I didn't really pay attention)
Again I meekly waved at him with a cramped expression:
"No no no...."
"Okay lor!"
And so he walked away.
????
What sia! Aahahahahaha so drama sia.
Wah Kau eh! @ 12:02 AM I was doing my suburi and watching TV just now when my shinai hit the cover of the ceiling and down it came crashing on the floor. And the worse thing is that I broke this like at 12am on the first day of Seventh Month ahhhhhhh!!! 南無 阿彌陀佛!
But say really la I remember the first thing I feared when I broke the ceiling lamp was that my mu would come stomping in and start to nag and nag and scold and tell me to stop practicing suburi in my room. To my surprise though mum gave me a pair of slippers and told me to put it on when I started to clear the broken glass. She even said that breaking stuff is no big deal and its a good thing I didn't hurt myself. (Although I did get cuts from clearing up the glass =/)
Mum's really changed now. When I was young I was rather terrified of her. When I hurt myself or whatever I would usually shut up and keep quiet if it wasn't too painful. That's because when I fell down or whatever my mum would be super angry and say stuff that I don't want to post here. But I don't blame my mum or whatever, in fact when we all talk about our past we laugh over it, and I have my mum to thank for not becoming a spoiled person, because my dad did spoil me quite a lot.
Anyway my room looks brighter now!
Anyone has any idea where ceiling lamp covers are sold? ^^''
