forgot to update again

omg i forgot to update again.. my memory is failing me man.. im getting old =(

anyway, for yesterday, woke up at 9 and got to school at 10 for webapps.. the teacher was seriously lousy lah.. everytime we encounter a problem, he cannot solve for us.. we must trial and error untill it works.. dunnu how he can become a teacher man.. went to cyber center after webapps.. yawen was there with pang hock.. oh ya.. in the morning, i stoped by photo inn to get yawen a disposable camera.. was intending to shoot film for the whole day.. haha.. anyway, i brought my 2 rolls of film to school and pang hock very graciously lent me one of the FM10s to play around with in school..

yawen went off for class and i went to meet amanda and her friends who were out doing some photography class assignment.. they had an old school cannon film SLR also.. haha.. took a few pics with them and then went to buisness.. they went back to class while i went to look for KW to have lunch.. after that, went back to cyber center and slacked.. had maths tutorial for an hour followed by another hour break in which i finished my film and returned the FM10..

after school, i went bowling at NSRCC with wei kit.. we bowled damn inconsistantly lah.. haha.. dont remember when the last time i bowled was.. i also sent my roll of film to photo inn for developing..

today, i woke up at 9 and went to school at 10 for programming.. i wasnt prepared at all for the graded lab lah.. but i just went with it and got the hang of it.. 1st to finish again and left for cyber center to meet yawen.. we then walked over to photo inn to get my pics and then walked back to school.. just in time for Viva la Arts.. i got the best seat in the house lah.. directly infront of the dancers.. thanks to kaiwen for securing that seat for me.. haha!

shot LOTS of great pics for the event.. the dancers were damn cool lah.. haha.. i'm uploading all the pics into my laptop now.. so i'll post the pics tomorrow instead..

had jap class after that and then ended school.. got home and went straight to NSRCC to watch the league.. wei kit was bowling in ye yang's team today.. haha.. i think he did quite ok lah..

woke up at 8 am today and got ready for school.. got to school for early morning netfund tutorial cum lab with F703.. after that went to look for james with mel and the 3 of us headed to cyber center.. halfway there, we saw JY and Nic and some other ophix GLs.. so they stoped there and i went to CC..

i slacked abit with dickson and alfred till kaiwen called me and we went to mensa for lunch with james and mel.. after that, we went our separate ways.. i went back to the cyber center to slack summore.. the rest went for lunch so i sat around and played com untill about 1 when YaWen joined me.. slacked till 3.55 lah.. didnt really know it was that time till alfred told me.. i rushed back to engine school for my webapps lab..

after school, i went back to CC for awhile.. marcus called me and told me that dad and himself were bowling at NSRCC.. i asked what time they were leaving.. he said 7.. seeing that it was only 5.30, i said i'd go down.. flaged a cab, got on, paid 10 bucks for the bloody trip because it was peak hour, and the promptly went home.. waste my time and money man! when i got there at about 6, they were already half packed.. zzz..

went to photo inn with marcus just now to get 2 rolls of film.. wanna try out film for abit.. haha.. dug out some old film cameras that i wanna try.. maybe can even get pang hock to lend me one if the FM10s tomorrow.. haha!

new camera bag!

i was thinking of buying a new camera bag for myself that doubles as a school bag these few days.. so today, i finally got one..

woke up today at about 10.30 and got ready.. my mum's cousin's 2nd son was a month old and they were having a celebration at the vegan restraunt at quality hotel level 2.. brought my camera along and shot abit..

after lunch, marcus wanted to meet his friends at peninsula.. so the rest of us walked around funan and dad introduced me to more people.. got to know staff from alan photo (funan outlet) and from a corner shop which i cant remember the name.. should have gotten him to intro me to the cathay photo staff but we didnt go to peninsula.. anyway, we went to alan photo first to have a look.. i saw this bag which was not bad.. about the size of a regular zinc bag but for camera.. so i thought that it was suitable for puting my school stuff and camera inside..the brand was bagman.. quite a cute logo lah.. and the best part is that it dosent scream 'camera bag'.. it looks just like any other bag

the price alan photo quoted for the bag was 68 bucks.. i walked around sommore and wanted to show dad the crumpler one from john 3:16 but they were closed.. so instead, we went to ya kun and had coffee.. haha.. on the way out, mum was looking around in royal sporting house and dad showed me to the shop opposite it.. we saw the same bagman bag that alan photo quoted us 68 for.. i asked and it was only 40 lah.. so i bought it XD

i also asked about the D80 kit.. it costs S1800.. and summore dad approves.. haha!! so i'm probably getting it next year..

did nothing for the rest of the day.. ate at home and watched Avatar.. they showed 3 episodes last friday.. dunnu why.. haha but im not complaining

esplanade series continued







300th post!

this is officially my 300th post for my blog!! haha..

anyway, didnt do much today.. woke up at 1pm and played com till about 2 when i had lunch.. i then stayed at home for the rest of the day editing the pics i took yesterday.. some of them is in my post in blackcurry now..

at night, we went to bugis to pick my mum up and then went to the civil servents club to have dinner.. we had sammy's curry tonight.. thats their newest outlet.. the original was at dempsey road (under renovation currently), their second one is at katong and the latest one at CSC.. went to their bowling alley after dinner to have a look see.. the lanes were brunswick wooden ones, 10 on each side.. kinda small..

Yang joined us after awhile and we just chilled.. me and Yang then went over to the fountain to retake the benches shot because it was abit blur at the sides and the sky was grey.. haha.. after i went back to the CC, Ya Wen smsed me and i met her outside eng school..

took a bus to bedok and then train to city hall where we visited the crumpler shop.. the Brazilian Dollar Home (biggest camera bag) costs 292 lah.. we then went over to BK to have lunch.. after that, we walked over to the esplanade and started our shooting.. used my kit lens with 0.45X semi-fisheye lens today together with my 60-300mm superzoom with a C-PL filter.. after shooting at the esplanade, we walked over to the merlion and shot abit there.. after that, we walked over to boat quay shooting all the while.. boat quay was overun with japs today.. haha.. school kids and all.. after boat quay, we walked to funan to have a look around john 3:16..

after awhile in funan, we left and went to clark quay.. shot here and there and took a bus to bugis to go to simlim square after that.. bought a C-PL filter for my kit lens.. i actually wanted to get the ML-L3 remote control for my camera but it was out of stock in both john3:16 and alan photo.. so we went to the nearby temples to have a look.. we then walked to the bus stop where Ya Wen went back home.. i took the train back home to have dinner followed by bowling with dad at NSRCC till 2am..

long overdue pics

Wont upload pics older than yesterday.. too lazy to edit all of them.. haha!








Visual Central RAWKS!!

totally in love with VC man.. only joined yesterday and all the members have already made me feel so welcomed! especially YaWen, Alfred and Dickson.. anyway, i woke up today at 8am and went to school for PSPS at 9.. the teacher was uber boring lah.. after class, i met up with YaWen outside TP library to shoot the yellow ribbon roadshow.. there was a tree where students could write some nice things on a yellow ribbon and tie it onto the tree.. refer to the pics..

after shooting for about 5 mins only, YaWen said she was hungry and suggested we go back to cyber center to put my stuff down before going for lunch.. but in the end when we got there, we just sat down and chat.. my first time meeting Dickson and we really clicked.. chat about lots of stuff mainly photography.. YaWen went with Mr Lim and left for class after awhile.. i stayed on as i had another hour to burn.. Alfred came into the CC and we chat summore before i left for class..

met F703 at LT50 for our first telsys lec.. was quite ok lah.. had telsys lab right after that with the same tutor.. didnt do anything much.. alot like engfund lah.. after telsys lab, i went for maths tutorial and got dismissed early.. so went over to CC again to upload the photos i took of the yellow ribbon tree.. YaWen and me went to shoot the tree some more because Mr Lim wanted more macro shots.. left at about 5.55 for jap lec.. damn boring lah.. another loner lesson..

joined visual central

today was quite ok.. went to school at 10.. supposed to start at 9 but i skiped my maths lec.. so started the day with OOP.. i was the only one in class who managed to finish my program properly.. after that went for CGINT which was exactly like last sem's APEL.. after cgint, me, mark, cerise, angela and kavan went over to cerise's house to see snowy.. kavan went home and the rest of us went to have lunch..

me and mark had the same timetable from then on.. 3 hrs break folowed by 2 hrs jap.. so we hung together.. and he changed his mind about what we were gonna do like 5 time total lah.. from eat in school to go SLS to go cerise house to go TM to go back school.. funny man.. in the end, we went back to school to shoot.. took lots of pics today.. but too tired to upload..

after shooting, we went to mensa to have a drink.. i wanted to go configure my ipod to connect to the school network so we went to cyber center next.. while there, i met some new friends.. alfred and yawen from VC.. we were configuring the ipod when i saw a DSLR on the table.. so i was looking at it and this guy asked me if he could help.. i told him i was into photog also.. so we chatted abit loh.. ended up joining VC which i wanted to join for some time now.. played with yawen's D80 while i was there.. really great cam.. haha.. so jelous.. i want one..

went for jap tutorial after that and me and mark volunteered to go get the notes for the class.. we collected the money but when we got there, we were short of 3 bucks.. someone didnt pay in full.. sianz.. in the end we had to pay the 3 bucks.. jap class was quite ok lah.. but the teacher seems quite sian..

went back home after jap and went to NSRCC.. marcus bowled in the league tonight while i bowled with uncle john on lane 1.. got 180s today.. the lanes were uber unreadable.. oily and long.. i shined my ball before bowling and now its hooking less but snap more..

2nd day

today was supposed to be the most sianed day on my timetable because all my classes are solo.. but it turned out alright because firstly, my webapps2 lab was canceled because the tutor was away.. so i could report at 12.. haha.. i went there at about 11.30 because zach said he wanted to meet me.. when i got there, he told me he will be late.. so i went to ihub to get my lecture notes.. but when i steped out of the lift, i saw cerise, angela, jie xing and jufri getting into the other one.. so i abandoned my plan and went to bread board with them for lunch..

the girls left early to get a plaster for cerise's foot and zach joined me and J.. i had netfund lec after lunch and so did the class.. we had the same subject and the same block and level, but different LTs.. idiot TP.. so i crashed their lec instead.. haha! after that, they had their maths lec while i went for my break.. was supposed to spend it with kaiwen but he PSed me for his dance friends =(.. so i met amanda and slacked around buisness for abit before heading for my maths tutorial.. after maths tutorial was another 1 hr break.. this time, no one to spend with.. so i went to the canteen, had a cup of tea and played my PSP till it was time for OOP lab..

my OOP lab was with 2.1 students from comeng.. chatted with a girl sitting with me.. they really cannot program man.. simple print statements also cannot.. haha.. the last assignment for today was to create a menu WITHOUT selection.. everyone had trouble with it lah.. no one even finish it yet but i already did the menu, WITH selection AND looping.. damn i'm good.. haha!!

went swimming with bro after school.. cant wait till tomorrow.. another 2 hrs of OOP lab followed by CGINT with classmates.. i then have 3 hours i intend to spend with mark shooting around campus.. me and mark then have japanese tutorial.. cant wait.. haha!!

P.S. i've been putting off uploading the photos.. haha.. my new 4GB HCSD card cannot be read by my card reader because it does not support HC type i think.. so have to connect the camera directly to the com.. i'll upload them some other day.. haha!

today, after only 5 hours of sleep, i woke up at 10 and got ready to go to interchange to meet H&S for amanda's birthday.. when i reached, only amanda was there so we waited for awhile and kaiwen joined us.. we then made our way to the KFC opposite the mac and waited for the rest to come.. we did the usual cake cutting and then went to CS to have lunch..

after lunch, we broke into 2 groups.. 1 group going to movies, the other, bowling.. no points for guessing which one i'm with.. haha.. anyway, my group consisted of amanda, zhong xuan, adrian and myself.. we took a cab back home to collect my stuff then went to safra tamp.. the alley was having some kind of tourney when we got there.. so we just hung around and played cards..

when they finally had lanes, all of us had to leave.. haha.. me and adrian took dad's car to NSRCC in hopes of bowling.. but in the end, only managed to get 1 corner lane because the national league was being hosted there.. damn.. haha.. i only bowled 1 game before we had to leave.. me and dad then went to clementi to my dad's malay friend's house to have dinner.. really delicious malay food.. haha

pics with Yang's Nikkor 50mm f/1.8

Didnt take much pics.. the lens was not really suited for my D40 as it was not an 'AF-S'.. which means it needs a camera driven focus motor which mine didnt have.. so all the pics were focused manually..

EXIF:
ISO-1600 (Except Grooming and Hidden Hope)
F/1.8(Except for Grooming)
ShuterSpeed 1/20 seconds
Manual Focus

boring day @ home

woke up at about 1 today and mainly slacked and updated my ipod.. i ripped like 4 whole CDs into it man.. haha.. marcus went cycling with his friends and i was left alone at home.. so just slacked and read this book called Marley and Me by John Grogan.. i seriously recommend it to all dog owners out there.. its about John and his hyperactive labrador retriever called Marley.. just finished it awhile ago and it was really touching.. good read

anyway, had dinner early today and went to tamp safra to pick up my bowling balls before going to NSRCC to bowl.. bowled quite OK today.. wasnt really fantastic because i was mainly trying out new stuff.. shu xian and nick lam turned up at the alley while i was bowling.. nick was looking to drill a new 'fury' from uncle james but he had no stock.. so they left and we continued..

went home after that.. thats pretty much it.. i'll post the pics now.. ciao!

day out with team TP

woke up today at 10.15am.. damn early right? haha.. anyway, got ready and went to tamp safra to meet team TP.. when i got there, i met glen at the lift and we took it to the 3rd floor together.. no one else was there dispite it being 11.15 already (meeting time was 11).. besides, there were no lanes available.. a good part of the alley was taken up by poi ching primary.. dunnu what they were doing there.. no school arh!?

yang and BC arived together and we just slacked around waiting for the kids to finish.. me and yang sat around playing with our cameras.. got to try his 50mm f/1.8 lens.. kinda cool.. took some pics with it.. the shallow depth of field is a nice photographic touch..

shu xian arrived at about 12 but didnt bowl.. dont know why.. so we continued bowling till about 12.30 when lu fang arrived with xue er.. long time nvr see her already.. she joined us and we bowled 2 more games before heading to chai chee comunity center for karaoke..

we paid 8 bucks for sang for 5 hours.. me and yang didnt sing much because the majority was chinese fluent.. haha! besides, their english songs were out dated.. dad picked me up after that and we went to mum's shop to wait for her to end.. meanwhile, i went over to sim lim with intentions to get a infared remote for my camera to reduce tripod-vibrations.. but the shop i usually go to (Alan Photo) was out of stock.. so i just bought a new 4GB hi-speed SDHC card for my camera.. now i can take 1.1k pics!! haha!!

i also got the screen protector for my ipod touch.. during the walk, i didnt even see a single ipod touch for sale.. only iphones going at 950 for the 8gb varient.. so in about 5 minutes, i blew 70 bucks already.. 50 for the card and 20 for the screen protector..

went over to newton circus after that to have dinner with my aunts and uncles.. had the usual seafood fare with the local favourites such as orh luak.. i'll post the pics tomorrow.. im too tired now.. LOL!

Thursday, October 11, 2007

boring day

im guessing that you've already grown tired of reading the words above.. well, im tired of living through it.. LOL!! woke up at 3 today still feeling tired.. just slacked around the house and ordered pizza for lunch..

went to NSRCC at about 6 to watch the league.. played the arcade and basically slacked around the bowling alley area.. went for dinner at about 10.. went to the same coffee shop as yesterday but didnt eat anything because i had dinner at the bowling alley (curry chicken with rice) while marcus was bowling.. i only managed 4 or 5 frames before the blister on my thumb poped and left alot of water.. haha!

gotta sleep soon.. going bowling and karaoke with team TP tomorrow..

iPod Touch video

Heres the video of my iPod Touch i promised

leisure bowling with team TP

woke up today at about 11.15 because lucky was going to have his grooming session.. we normally call pet movers to come pick him up for grooming but our old groomer (who goes from house to house) was back in the grooming buisness after giving birth to her kid.. so she came over today at about 12 and lucky had his fur shaved.. haha! looks totally disgusting now..

anyway, glen called me and told me that some of them were going bowling and asked if i wanted to join them.. so i agreed and got ready.. at about 3 when the groomer left, glen called and told me not to hurry because they wanted to eat first.. so i just slacked and watched the first episode of top gear season 10 on my com before going over to safra tamp..

bowled alright today.. 4 game total pinfall: 666!! LOL!! demonic sia.. haha.. anyway, after bowling, i notice that theres this strange swelling on my thumb that wasnt so obvious just now, but its currently looking like a un-poped blister.. its totally gross man.. a nasty shade of orangey-beige and budging slightly on the front of my right thumb.. so tempting to burst lah.. i think i'll just wait till tomorrow and see how is it before bursting it.. LOL!!

anyway, went to 802 frog's legs for dinner before heading home.. the video my iPod Touch in use is being uploaded now.. it's just over halfway done and i'll put it up when it's done..

iPod Touch Pics

Just some shots of my unboxing.. didnt take any of it turned on.. i took a video but will upload later




My iPod's HERE!!

its finally here!! too bad i wasnt there to receive it.. my bro received it on my behalf as i was away at NSRCC bowling with CC and abel..

anyway, woke up at 1.30 today.. was supposed to pick CC up at 1.45 but it was raining see.. so u cant blame me for over sleeping.. anyway, picked CC up at about 2.15 and went to NSRCC to meet abel and family.. they were already bowling when we got there so me and CC decided to get 2 lanes for ourselves.. we bowled 3 games before moving to join them again.. bowled like crap today.. haha.. lanes were really patchy.. dad came to NSRCC at about 5.30 and he bowled himself till about 6 when i joined him for 2 games.. we went home after that..

when i got home, the humble brown box was sitting on my table.. imagine my surprise when i saw the apple logo on the packing list which was attatched.. haha.. opened it straight away and saw the touch's box front with macy gray staring out at me.. took it out and snaped a few pics of it.. the touch could not sync with my older version of iTunes and so i had to download the newer one.. it then went on to disagree with my version of windows (SP1).. so i had to get out my laptop and reinstall the newer iTunes, and then sync with it..

spent about 2 hours uploading all the songs into it.. not that it takes so long.. just that i want to be able to use CoverFlow.. so i went and search for all the album covers for the songs.. im about 3/4 done by now and im leaving the rest for tomorrow.. i'll go upload the photos now.. ciao!

anyway! woke up at 12.45 todayand waited for mum to come back with lunch.. had char kuey teow from changi village hawker center for lunch.. then went to TM's NTUC with mum to get some stuff for dinner.. bought 6 crabs for chilli crab tonight.. we also got some uber huge prawns at 1.50 a prawn.. damn ex lah.. and nothing fantastic also.. just the comical size.. anyway, paid for the stuff and went back home..

i didnt do much before dad wanted to go bowling.. so me dad and marc went to NSRCC to bowl.. i wasnt really keen on bowling.. so i just slacked around and only bowled near the end..

went back home after bowling and had chilli crab and oat prawns for dinner..

AIRBALL!

today during training, something damn hilarious happened.. i bowled quite alot yesterday and my thumb swelled by abit, making it unable to fit into my thumb insert.. i forced it in and the 1st ball i threw for training today was jettisoned >2 meters off the ground and landed down the lane.. is seriously hilarious.. lesson learnt.. dont squeeze ball..

anyway, woke up at 8.30 today for training.. training ended at 12.15 and we went to samy's to da bao lunch home.. after lunch, i slept for the rest of the day till about 5.30 when i woke up.. slacked abit more before heading down to NSRCC to bowl.. my thumb could fit into my insert again and i went over to the pro shop to get it enlarged.. uncle james was not in and francis helped me sand abit before uncle james returned and finished up.. bowled quite ok today.. wasnt hungry yet so we hang around the alley and played pool..

yang and his family showed up later to bowl and me and marc joined him and his sis for some games.. left for prata dinner at about 11..

anyway, it was 2 to a child and my partner was a indian who was quite alright.. we bowled with the bumpers up today.. and it was an 8 pin tap game.. LOL!! so gay lah.. i could have gotten high scores but i was weighed down by the kid.. haha.. we played more games after the event was over before dad came to pick me up.. we then went to OCC(Orchid Country Club) to bowl summore.. thats the 2nd location that i'm 1st time bowling at in a day!!

Happy Birthday to ME!!

LOL!! im currently out form my chalet and at the NSRCC gallery with mark typing this blog entry.. brought my laptop here just because i didnt want to miss an entry.. haha.. anyway, about today..

woke up at about 1.30 and slacked till about 3 when i went to NSRCC to check into the bungalow.. after checking in and unloading all the bbq stuff, me, dad and marc looked around the bungalow.. we then went to the bowling alley.. i just got on my shoes and the bbq people called to tell me that the bbq food arrived.. so i went back to the chalet (which is a 300m walk i should point out..) to receive the food.. i then walked all the way back to the bowling alley and got my shoes on again.. i havent even thrown a ball when J called me and asked me to go back the the chalet to let them in.. BLOODY HELL!! LOL!! so i went back to meet J, KiWee, and Ray.. we went in and prepared the bbq.. Cerise, Mark, Angela and Kavan arrived shortly afterwards followed by my cousin Adeline..

we got the bbq started and marcus came back with Darren.. some of my friends started to gamble over cards and i just hung around.. the bbq really got started and more people arrived.. me, J and KiWee went swimming and the rest stayed and bbqed.. went back and ate summore before they all sung the bday song.. no cake though.. only 2 boxes of donuts from DONUT FACTORY!!! THANKS TO MARK AND KAVAN WHO QUED UP FOR THEM!!

the people who are staying over includes me, Mark, Kavan, Jufri, KiWee, Raymond and Zach.. come to think of it, Zach is not even here yet.. the idiot got to work till 10.. so now he's at a supermarket with Andrew.. the rest are back at the chalet watching a very old movie of rambo.. i think i'll chill abit more with mark before going back.. ciao!
