day out

woke up quite early today.. about 10.30.. went to simlim with dad and walked around for abit.. wanted to get my Hoya IR-72.. but still no stock!! waited like sooo long for it already lah!!


so went over to safra mount faber to bowl.. the lanes were SUPER oily.. and the approach weird.. so i only bowled 1 game before stopping.. so just hung around the alley while my bro and dad bowled..

at about 4+, we left the alley and dad fetched me to suntec city to meet baby and friends.. we sat down at starbucks coffee and chatted till 7 before leaving for dinner at the food court.. most of the topics were quite mature in content.. haha!

after dinner, we planned to go to the roof garden at the esplanade.. but it was closed.. so we went to the large area outside marina square and sat around playing truth or dare.. there were 6 people altogether, and 2 couples.. haha.. so everytime we 'kena', theres sure to be some weird dare.. haha!

sent baby home before heading home myself

vivo city

woke up quite early today.. 8am in fact.. got to bedok interchange at about 9+ and waited for baby to arrive.. we then took 69 to TP and went to cyber center to sign up for our CDS.. wanted to do this in school as the cyber center's computers would be connected to the school's server by intranet.. so it'll be super fast.. haha.. choose our cds and then took a bus to CS to play mario cart..

took a train down to vivo city with baby and met up with her friends.. booked 2pm tickets for I Am Legend and then went for lunch.. walked around for awhile before going for the movie.. the movie was alright.. alot of action scenes.. dont watch it if you have a weak heart.. you could have a heart attack! haha..

our group seperated after the movie.. me and baby went down to candy empire to meet baby's cousin.. 1st time meeting her.. so got drilled by her.. LOL!! basically asked alot of questions about us.. but overall, i think she's a nice person.. very funny.. haha! went back home while baby and cousin continued shopping.. got to safra tampines at 7 to bowl with Glen and Wei Yan.. bowled quite badly mainly because the approach was SOOOOO slippery.. haha..

went back home and then out again at about 10 to NSRCC to bowl more.. the approach was alot better there.. so bowled better also! haha.. got back home at about 1+ after supper at 802..

day out!

spent almost the whole day out today.. woke up early in the morning to meet my jap group mates to discuss about our presentation which is due 3 weeks after school reopens.. met Freddie at compass point macs and then moved up to the library where Serene joined us.. we discussed our project for about 2 hrs before we all left.. i went back home to have lunch before heading out again to tampines MRT controll station to meet Dickson..

we took the train all the way to city hall, and switched to the red line and took to the train to yio chu kang to meet alfred.. we planned on walking to lower pierce reservoir.. but we got lost.. so we hailed a cab and took it to somewhere near it.. alighted, and started shooting our IR shots.. we didnt really reach the reservoir.. but we followed a hiking trail into the forest area.. took alot of great shots on the way too.. got alot of mosquito bites also -.-"

walked for about 4 - 5km and came accross the road right infront of the island country club.. LOTS of cool cars were passing by lah.. we saw at LEAST 5 Porches, countless BMWs, Mercs, Lexuses and Audis, one Messarati, and the best of all, A BENTLY CONTINENTAL GT.. OMG!!! that car is HOT!!

anyway.. walked right out of the forest and took a bus out to hougang mall to have dinner at some la mian restraunt that Alfred suggested..

first month

happy 1st month baby

spent the whole day with baby today.. met her at about 1.30 below her block and we went to east coast park to have a stroll.. walked quite a distance before it started to rain.. so we took shelter under one of the stops and waited till the rain subsided.. we then walked over to one of the many underpasses along the park and crossed over to the HDB area.. we stoped under a sheltered play area and chatted for awhile

at about 3+, we walked over to a bus stop near to PP and waited for 36 which took us to plaza singapura.. once there, we took the escalator down to the basement to have a look at the handphone straps at couple lab.. since ours is already kinda spoilt, we were considering changing to new ones.. haha.. after that, went right up to the 6th floor to Sharon's mum's nasi padang stall to look for her.. but she wasnt there when we arrived.. so i smsed her and found out that she was actually opposite PS in a church.. so me and baby just hung around PS and walked around till she came back.. went back up after walking every floor with baby and had a chat with AUNTY Sharon..

took bus 16 frm outside PS to Kallang Leisure Park to have a look around.. alot of shops are still not open even though its been over a month since i've last been there.. haha.. left there at about 7.30 and took 16 again to opposite katong mall.. walked over to Astons Prime to have our dinner.. it was quite packed.. so luckily we had reservations! haha.. we ordered the 14oz Astons Prime Rib and requested that it be cut into 2 portions.. 1 medium rare for me, and one medium for baby.. ordered aston's speciality fries to go along with it..

sent baby home after dinner and then went back home myself.. reached at 11 on the dot! LOL!

once again,

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

x'mas eve!

hmmm.. so lets see what i did today for christmas eve.. NOTHING!! haha.. so exciting right.. anyway.. woke up at 1 after nearly 12 hrs of sleep and just hung around the house doing nothing for the whole day lah.. so boring..

only went out at about 7+ for dinner.. i called Astons Prime (new, higher-class astons outlet) yesterday to reserve a place for 2 for tomorrow (christmas and our 1st month).. so i thought we'd drop by today to have a look.. we were expecting a cue.. so wasnt really planning to have dinner there.. but since there were seats available, we decided to dine there.. the food was excelent.. i had their signature grain-fed beef ribs.. the whole 400g of it (it was boneless.. so imagine a slab of pure ecstacy about 2 palms wide, 1 palm long, and 1 inch thick).. it costs quite alot.. 39.90 for 1 piece.. but it was totally worth it!! it was cooked to perfection.. medium rare with quite abit of raw in the center.. and cooked outer edges imbued with red wine.. dad had the pork chops and bro had the alfredo..

went to NSRCC after dinner but didnt bowl.. had a blister.. besides.. my form is getting worse.. so i think i'll stop for awhile.. went around the club and took some long exposure shots of the swimming pool when it was closed..

seeing that its already past midnight,

HAPPY X'MAS EVERYONE!!!

AND HAPPY FIRST MONTH BABY!!

kinda early post..

i normally update my blog at about 1 or 2 in the morning.. but since i've got nothing to do, i'll not wait then! haha..

woke up at about 11.45 today and slacked around the house till about 1+ when we had lunch.. mum cooked porridge and dad went to da pao some stuff from the kuay chap stall.. after lunch, slacked around summore and played com.. found alot of VCers blogs that i didnt know of.. haha.. linked them all.. check them out at the side --->

at about 4+, dad and me went to tamp MRT station to pick up Shu Xian before heading over to NSRCC.. booked lanes at 5pm.. was supposed to meet Dickson, Suan Yang and his sister there.. but Dickson didnt show because he said it was raining.. haha!

all 4 of us bowled 4 games apiece.. i brought all my equipment there.. so i spidered my tripod right next to the lanes (1 and 2) and attatched the flash to it.. the good thing was that i didnt have to stay there to fire the shots.. i can use my remote!! haha.. got some shots of everyone bowling.. maybe i'll upload them later if im not too tired..

bowling mania.. again

Woke up at 12+ today and slacked around the house for the whole afternoon.. bro was in escape with his friends and only me and dad was at home.. didnt have lunch at all till we left for the bowling alley at about 3.45.. ate curry chicken with rice at the poolside cafe and then went to bowl..
bowled quite badly today.. dont know how come.. my form suddenly went from ok-ok to totally non existant.. whats happening to me... still, managed a 21X..

bro joined me and dad after awhile and we bowled abit more.. stoped after awhile and slacked around the alley thinking of stuff.. actually.. i spent my whole entire day thinking of stuff.. maybe thats why my bowling is totally chui..

went out to the gallery to surf the net with Melvin and Alex.. called baby.. felt abit better after that.. so went to have dinner and then bowled with Melvin and gang.. very stressful bowling with all the pros.. advice coming from all directions and messing up my game.. haha.. went back home at about 11.45..

2 movies!

woke up at about 11 today and hitched a ride with mum and dad to tampines mall.. booked 2 tickets to the 3.45 screening of national treasure.. went home after that and slacked around till abt 2.45 before heading back to TM to wait for baby.. waited for like half an hour lah.. haha..

walked around for abit as it was still kinda early.. when it was about time, we went back up to the cinema and got seated.. the movie was quite good.. action packed and full of excitement.. kinda funny as well.. LOL!!

went back home with baby and watched enchanted on my computer.. sent her back after the movie and then came back home again

woke up at about 11 today and was supposed to go get ready to meet Dickson to go to clementi for UnO3.. but when i turned on my phone, i received an SMS from Alfred saying that UnO was canceled on account of rain.. haha! so i went back to sleep.. woke up again at about 12+..

went to have kuay chap for lunch at round market before heading to NSRCC to bowl.. i didnt bowl for like 6 days already loh.. so bowled kinda lousily.. we bowled till about 4 before heading back home.. i slacked about the house and played dai di with my bro till abt 5 before heading to my mums shop to have a haircut.. went to civil servants club for indian food.. bowled a couple at planet bowl also.. first time bowling there.. wooden brunswicks.. approach as slippery as ice and lane as oily as fried chicken.. bowled at 18X highest only..

day 2 and last day of UnC2

went to simlim with Alfred, Dickson and Kai Xin.. bumped into dad outside HI-V and then went to Alan Photo to get my IR filter.. sadly, their stock hasent come in.. so didnt get anything.. walked we planned to go to funan to see if theres stock at the other Alan outlet and have pepper lunch.. but changed our minds as it was too far.. so we detoured to Miss Clarity Cafe to have lunch.. collected me and baby's rings en route to the cafe..

Dickson and Alfred had the crispy black pepper chicken, Kai Xin had the vegetarian pasta, and i had the chicken ballotine.. which is essentially a ngoh hiang like thing with mushrooms in the middle.. didnt really like the food.. but the ambiance was all right i suppose..

Kai Xin went back home while the rest of us went back to school.. didnt do anything much till about 7 when some main comms called us and asked one of us to go down to sports hall with a camera.. so i volunteered and went down with the D2Xs with a Nikkor 17-55 f/2.8 attatched.. when i got there, i was asked to shoot a macro of some worm that they found in the rice.. totally unprepared, i was forced to return to cyber to get the Nikkor 105 f/2.8 micro.. haha.. got a really good shot of the worm.. freaked the main comms out.. LOL!

went back to cyber for awhile and then out again to shoot the night walk.. i took the D300 this time with Dickson's sigma 17-70 2.8 macro.. the event didnt really last long as there was practically nothing to shoot.. so went back to cyber and then up to the darkroom for Delia's solarisation workshop.. went for supper at prata paradise after that and then back to cc.. most of the guys went to bathe while me and Dickson went up to the darkroom again to develop his roll of expired film.. developed a few more shots before disposing the chemicals.. went back down and played some card games with the people in cc before going to sleep..

woke up at 8.45 and decided to go home to sleep some more.. i was only sechduled to shoot at night.. so i packed up and mum fetched me home.. slept from dunnu what time till 5 when i woke up.. went outside and found out that dad bought me a tripod.. some china brand.. haha.. i dont care.. at least i can use my ball head now! haha.. went to school and was preparing to shoot when i was informed that the final clash was canceled.. haha!! i went to school for nothing lah.. so i helped with the packing up before we all went to TM's pizza hut for dinner..

we did something really funny today.. we finished our pizza and Dickson was still hungry.. so Sharon took the neighbouring table's unfinished pizza for him.. LOL!! went back home after that

had test at 3.30.. so had to leave kinda early and went to engine to sit for telsys.. the paper was damn hard lah.. when the clock turned exactly 4pm, about 10 people left the room.. LOL!! i went back to the darkroom and watched Dickson and Delia develop more pics before going to ITAS to collect my ophix shirt from Nick Cheong.. after that, went with Alfred to try if my camera is IR capable.. im happy to say, IT IS!! hahahahahahahaha.......

went to peninsula with Dickson and Alfred via taxi and Dickson bought his Cokin IR filter from cathay.. i wanted to get my Hoya IR72 but everywhere's out of stock.. dammit.. haha.. so met baby and friend outside macs at parco and we went to get our rings done.. the lady said that the rings will be ready in 3 days.. but we were both busy.. so we're getting it next thursday!!

DOPE2611 series

Photo shoot for KaiWen's DOPE2611





I FINALLY POSTED PICS!!! wahahahahahahaha

photo developing

woke up at 11.30 today and got to school at about 1.. was supposed to meet Dickson at CC but met him on the way there instead.. haha! got my lens box from him but he couldnt find his quick release for the ball head.. so im stuck with the ballhead but i cant use it =(

we wanted to go use the darkroom but Pand Hock AND Humpfrey were both on mc.. so i smsed PH and asked him if it was possible to use it.. meanwhile, Dickson went to his lab and i went to meet KaiWen to collect my cash from him (i sold him my iPod Nano).. he rode into school on his new bike which he got for his birthday.. after collecting the money, i suggested that we do a photoshoot for it.. haha.. so we shot abit and then went back to mensa for a drink..

met Dickson at cyber and we both went up to the 2nd floor to get the key for the darkroom.. met uncle Sam there and spent about 15 mins talking to him about a photo comp coming up.. cannot reveal too much here.. haha

anyway, went up to the darkroom and prepared the chemicals for developing and exposed a few shots before Alfred came up to join us.. we went back down to mensa 2 to have lunch.. had chef's salad, scrambled eggs on toast, and a bowl of clam chowder before heading back up to the darkroom.. we tried exposing the A3 sized paper but failed.. haha.. wasted all 3 of the paper..

after we were done, we had the usual headache of where to put the chemicals before heading our seperate ways.. Alfred went to have dinner by himself while me and Dickson went to the library to do some research about photo developing.. Dad picked me up shortly after and we went to 802 to have frog's legs..

went to NSRCC to bowl a few games before heading back home

day 3 of TTs

woke up at 10.45 today and got to school at around 12+.. went to cyber and met Darwis at the door.. went inside and just slacked around till about 1 when Dickson came.. i got my lens from him but not the box and the quick release.. haha.. mark joined us and we studied for TTs together for awhile before Alfred came in and we all went to mensa.. didnt have anything to eat.. just sat around playing with my 50mm 1.8..

went to the library to meet mark and clique and then went to bread board to have lunch before heading to exam venue.. the test was quite easy.. confident of a pass.. thats 3 tests in the bag already! 1 more to go!!

went to look for Dickson, Sharon and Alfred at funan after school.. took 23 to outside simlim and walked all the way to funan.. met them at food court and walked around abit.. visited Alvin at john 3:16.. we then went over to Ruby's to get some photopaper before we all went our seperate ways.. i took the train with Dickson till tanah merah where i took the NSRCC shuttle bus for the 1st time!! lol..

dad and bro was bowling in the league.. so i sat around with Lu Fang who was there with Theodore..

Wednesday, December 12, 2007

2nd day of TTs

woke up at 12.30 today and got ready to go to school for my 2nd paper, netfund. dad fetched me to school at about 3 and i got there at about 3.15. went into the exam venue and got seated after some confusion as to where i was supposed to seat..

the exam was quite ok.. it was unexpectedly easy.. so i think theres hope for netfund yet.. went to cc after the test.. Alfred and Darwis were there and we chatted for abit before heading over to mensa for a snack.. tried the lamb shoulder.. quite ok apart from all the bones which makes for an unglam and messy meal.. Dickson joined us at mensa and we all went back down to cyber for awhile before heading up to the darkroom to meet PH

we did a small stock take in the darkroom.. i thought initially that we've run out of stop bath.. but Dickson managed to find about 5 unused bottles of the stuff somewhere.. we tried to repair one of the enlargers which was not working but to no avail.. so we headed back down to cyber to hang around some more.. i played with Dickson's new 30D.. complete with battery grip, 17-40 USM L lens, EX580 speedlite with light sphere which i bought for him..

Dickson said that he didnt want his tripod anymore.. so i took the ballhead while alfred took the tripod.. so.. I'VE GOT MY BALL HEAD!! YESSAR!! now to get my tripod stand.. meeting Dickson again tomorrow to buy his 50mm f/1.8 lens.. went to NSRCC again today to meet bro and dad before heading over to lagoon food court to have beef kuay teow for dinner..

Tuesday, December 11, 2007

jelousy

everyone's getting new stuff.. especially cameras.. Dickson just went and bought himself a Canon 30D.. thats 1.6k for the body alone already lah.. and Sharon.. oh my goodness.. she bought herself a Nikon D200(1.8k for body).. WTF!! WHEN IS IT MY TURN!?!??!

all i could afford for today was my long awaited remote control for my useless D40.. i feel so insignificant in VC now.. everyone's got a proper camera and im stuck with a toy.. everyone's talking about the new cameras and lens that they've bought over the weekend and all i've got to do is look and feel sorry for myself.. i actually wanted to get a 50mm 1.8 today.. that lens only costs $170 lah.. and i cant afford even that.. my walk around simlim today was a very hurtful one.. looking at the D300s.. the 40Ds.. the SB800s and the f/2.8 lenses but not being able to afford even the most basic 50mm 1.8 lens.. even if i could afford the damn thing, my joke-of-a-camera cant even autofocus it because it dosent have the internal focusing motor..

im feeling very down at the moment lah.. even when i went to NSRCC to study.. i bowled a few games as well and i cannot help but notice how my brother's got a new optix skull ball.. and what do i have? the oldest bag, strike ball, and spare ball among my whole family.. my brother has 5 balls ok.. how many do i have? 2 old ones.. but who's the better bowler? ME! i just cannot seem to justify that..

anyway, maths was alright today.. im confident of a pass.. went to bugis after school to have my hair cut and to take that painful trip to simlim square.. went back home with dad and then out again to NSRCC to study/bowl.. back home and then out to WhiteSands to study more with Mark

my N95 has an acclerometer!?

so it appears that Nokia decided to keep the N95's built in accelrometer a secret for the past 9 months.. but now that it's finally been brought to light, THERES GONNA BE SOME COOL APPS!!

i've already installed a small software that gets my phone to make light saber noises when i swing it around.. HOW COOL IS THAT!?

anyway, woke up at 12.30 today.. haha.. slept for like 10 hrs.. got ready and then fetched marcus to NSRCC before going to hougang for lunch with mum and dad.. after lunch, mum went to the flower shop to look around and buy some orchids before we all left for giant tampines to grocery shop.. went back home after that to study abit more..

studied for the greater part of the day and ordered pizza for dinner.. had a hawaiian cheesy lava crust and 6pc drumlets.. studied abit more after that.. TTs TOMORROW!!! wish me luck!

Jamieson's wedding

woke up UBER early today (7am) to go to the Church of St Theresa for my cousin Jamieson's wedding.. got there at about 8.30 and went into the mass hall.. i brought my camera along to shoot abit and when i got there, i found out that the photographer they hired was actually using some sony compact camera lah.. WTF!?

anyway, the whole solemnisation took about 2 hours and after that, it was photo taking with the friends and families.. the 'pro' photographer kept trying to squeeze everyone into his frame while i sat there humbly with my 18mm wide angle.. LOL!!!

went for the buffet lunch after that and had lots to eat.. this is the 1st time i actually enjoyed the buffet spread lah.. almost like hotel buffer standard.. got roast beef and roast lamb.. fried maccaroni, fried DORY, tempura.. and the best dish IMO, the bread and butter pudding.. its totally DOPE!

went back home after that and then out again to NSRCC.. studied maths there while the rest bowled.. went back home for awhile and then left again for another buffet at my cousin's house.. chat with my cousins and played with Kelvin's iPhone!!!

3 days 1 post

this is like the 1st time i actually skipped posting for 2 days in a row.. lol.. anyway.. i didnt post cos i seriously forgot to blog..

anyway, 2 days ago, nothing much happened.. i cant even remember the details.. haha.. went for OOP class in the mornin and then met up with Mark and clique for lunch at ITAS.. we then went over to engine to study abit.. i left them and went over to CC for awhile before meeting Mark again in jap class.. we got into our presentation 2 groups for jap class and i got into a group with no one i knew.. haha.. went to NSRCC after school and didnt bowl but watched bro bowl till 12+ before going home -.-"

yesterday, went to school early for PSPS and showed teacher our project only to be shot down.. so we had to rethink our project, finish it, and submit it by today.. after PSPS, went to cyber to slack and have lunch.. went for telsys and maths class before going back to CC for an hour, and to jap lec

today, got to school at 11, and went to CC to meet everyone.. Dickson and me went up to the darkroom to meet SY and some main comm people to prepare the BnW film that we took.. mine kept getting stuck and Serena told me that its because i didnt load the film proper in the FM10.. haha.. we ordered pizza for lunch and ate in the small room outside the darkroom.. Debb managed to extract my film and we went to process the film before we started the BnW development course..

after school, went to have dinner with some of the VCians at TM before heading over to NSRCC to bowl.. the approach was EXTREMELY tacky today.. cannot even slide at all.. its about as good as wearing regular shoes to bowl lah.. left NSRCC at 1.15am

yawnzorx

tuesday.. 6 more days.. term test.. barely studied.. omg..

anyway, woke up at 9 and got to school at 10 for a totally useless webapps lesson.. got into the lab, signed into MSN and surfed the web for 1 hr, then went for lunch with KW.. i mean.. i should have just woken up 4 hours later and went straight for maths instead man..

anyway, spent most of my break time with KW and then went to CC to hang around.. went for maths after that and teacher let us re-try last sem's term test paper.. the one i FAILED!.. but im confident that i'll pass this time.. im actually determined to get an A this time..

went back to CC for my 1 hr break and then back to engine again.. lame sia.. damn 1 hr break..

OOP let off early so i went back to CC and me, Dickson, YaWen, Pui Ye and Delia went up to the darkroom to have a look around.. me and Dickson refreshed our memories and checked for all the chemicals in preparation for this friday's workshop..

after school, took a cab to NSRCC to watch my bro bowl in the qualifiers for the mini-masters.. went to 802 to have frog's legs again after that

woke up at 7 and got to school at about 8.. slacked around till about 9 before going for netfund tut.. didnt do anything much.. crapped alot with Kavan at the back of the room.. Mark was not around.. i noticed something.. even though i keep talking and laughing with Kavan, i seem to learn something about the subject in the end.. haha.. must crap with Kavan more often..

after tut, met up with KW and went for lunch at short circuit.. had lao shu fen again! haha.. so addictive.. anyway, went to mensa for teh after that till about 1 when KW had to leave for lecture.. i went to CC and found Dickson and Alfred bent over Dickson's new LEOPARD!!! omg lah.. haha.. just bought it a few days ago.. he's so uber rich..

anyway, i heard from Alfred that today's SY's birthday and i was all.. lets get Sharon to come down to school and buy whip cream.. LOL! we planed it all out before i left for my 4pm webapps class.. showed teacher what we were planning to do for our project next term and then we were free to go.. went back to cyber to organise abit but SY came in extremely early.. so we had to impromptu abit..

got him to sit outside CC on the wooden bench, took off his specs, and slamed the paper plate full of cream right on his face.. LOL! too bad i didnt bring my D40 there today.. only brought the FM10(film camera).. Andy got some good shots though.. LOL!!!

went opposite school with VC to have dinner.. had some tomato based prawn pasta.. totally crappy

bowling mania day 2

woke up at 8 today because the youth squad selection was on at NSRCC.. so went there at about 9.30 and sat around till about 10 for the roll-off.. i actually didnt want to join the youth squad.. but since im already there.. haha!

bowled on the same lanes as Keith Toh and some other guy.. didnt bowl quite that well, but i think i got into the team nontheless.. i then went back home with dad while bro stayed to bowl his singles for the mini-masters qualifiers..

after i got home, i went to sleep for 3 hours before waking up again and going bowling at NSRCC.. my finger is bleeding again!! LOL!!

bowling

woke up at 11 today.. slacked around home till about 12+ then went out to NSRCC to have lunch.. had their kung pow chicken rice bento and ice lemon tea..

after lunch, went back to bowling alley and bowled a few games.. didnt do that fantastic or anything.. just a regular day of bowling.. haha..

went back home for awhile before going back down to NSRCC again.. bro wanted to bowl in the masters qualifiers.. i passed on this one because i felt my bowling was not up to scratch.. so i just hung around the gallery and used the wifi!

went to pick up mumsy before heading to the newly renovated samy's curry at dempsey road.. saw a cool grey lotus elise 111R there! haha.. drove around dempsey hill after dinner and saw alot of cool stuff that i didnt even knew existed..

went back home after that
