woke up at 8 today and got to school at 9 for PSPS.. today was quite ok.. there was this part where we were grouped into groups of 3s and each of us were to take turns to be a peer tutor.. i tought them how to solve a rubik's cube.. and when it was Johnny's turn, the other group member, Joel, asked him to teach us why does an ES need BoT and refresher.. hilarity ensued..

went to cyber enter after that and found YaWen, Dickson and Sharon there.. we all went to bistro walk and had their green tea set meal.. not really fantastic.. their sweet potatoes were cooked and served skin-on.. their yogurt was disgusting, and they served ASPARAGUS with CAPSICUM.. omg.. anyway, me and Dickson went to triple D after lunch to collect his positives that he took with his new coloursplash (lomo camera).. i got poisoned by lomo already!! i'm aiming for a frogeye.. haha..

went back to school and went for telsys.. had our class test today.. i was expecting not to know anything at all, but it turned out quite easy.. haha! went for maths and had another test.. the test was relatively easy.. confident of a pass.. Mr Lok actually helped people when they went up to ask him questions lah.. haha!! i absoulutely love him man.. we need more tutors and lecturers like him..

sent baby home after that and then went home myself.. i bumped my WTS thread 3 times today.. no PMs at all =( im getting kinda desprate to sell the damn camera off..
woke up at 9 today and got to school at 10 for OOP.. didnt really program today as the lab was dedicated to some class diagram thingy.. went to cyber after OOP.. no one was there when i arrived.. not even Pang Hock and Humphrey.. YaWen came in just after me and we sat around for awhile before going to Bistro Walk with KaiXin to have lunch.. they were out of their delicious looking set menu.. so we had to order ala carte.. i ordered their Classic Hawaiian Pizza.. which turned out not to be pizza at all.. it was half a hamburger bun smeared with tomato puree, layered with chicken ham and a pineapple ring and topped with melted cheese.. not even close to a pizza.. but nice nontheless!

slacked around cyber till about 3 when i left for engine to meet my jap groupmates for a final rehearsal.. Serene was not able to come today due to her grandmother's passing.. so our presentation was rescheduled.. got back to cyber at 5 and slacked till 6 before leaving.. went to NSRCC after sending baby home and watched the league for awhile..

going to be sick

woke up at 9 today and got to school for webapps at 10.. did more buttons today.. went to cyber center after class and found Dickson and Alfred there watching the lord of the rings.. went to mensa 2 to da bao chicken chop which i brought back to cyber to eat..

slacked around cyber chatting with the guys and then left for maths slightly late.. but mr Lok being himself, marked me present.. haha! went back to cyber for 1 more hour, during which i had to help YaWen with her comprog project.. luckily, Josias came to help her and passed me some materials to make a bounce card for my external flash.. haha

finished my OOP today and left slightly early.. almost all the regulars were at cyber when i got there.. everyone was waiting for YaWen to finish her comprog before leaving for Lomo Embassy where Dickson got his new coloursplash..

woke up at 9 today.. got to school at 10 for netfund lab test, which i am proud to say, i got full marks again! hahahahaha~

anyway, went for lunch with KW and met Ben there.. Baby joined us later and the 4 of us went to cyber.. i helped KW do up his main menu for his java project and then sent baby to class.. went back to cyber to try and install super-hero mod for cs on my laptop.. Alfred joined in the "fun" for awhile before heading to class..

went for webapps at 4 till 6 and completed the flash banner.. went back to cyber for awhile before sending baby home and then going to NSRCC to have dinner and bowl.. one thing i dont get it.. how, in all that is holy, can my thumb slip out early when the insert is padded with 5 levels of grip tape, making the fit just snug, almost tight!?

went back home and finished watching heroes season 1.. cannot wait to watch season 2!!

surprise from baby

woke up at 12 today.. went online straight away and baby sent me a pic that we took on our 2nd month which she editted herself.. haha! sooo happy!

anyway, slacked around at home all alone.. mum was at work and bro and dad was at NSRCC.. went to T3 again for the 3rd day in a row for lunch.. spent the day at home doing nothing.. left at 5 for my mum's shop.. had a haircut and went to funan..

at funan, i walked around with my dad.. visited alan photo and another shop which i cant remember.. and i saw the D3 for the 1st time in real life!! too bad couldnt touch it.. haha.. 7K+ what! anyway, my dad told his friend that i was looking to upgrade to a D300.. he didnt even mention the D200.. thats GOOOOD!! so i guess that means im getting the D300 instead of the D200! wahahahahahahaha

went upstairs to the food court and had beef pepper rice, upsize, add cheese.. just the way Dickson loves it.. haha..

po'lar·iz'er - n. (again)

took this at east coast park with baby.. i like this pic as it portrays now everything has its opposite.. its partner.. just like you and me, baby.

dead day

woke up at 11.30 and just slacked around at home doing nothing for the whole entire day.. watched abit of heroes, but mainly stoned..

left for dinner at T3 again at about 7+ and had the korean spicy fried chicken for the 2nd time.. its really good.. but not really filling.. furthermore, it costs $7.50.. for that you get 2 drums and 2 sides..

went to the club after dinner and bowled abit.. bowled considerably better than yesterday.. left at about 12.45 and went for prata opposite school before heading home.. reached at 1.30 again..

second month

woke up at 10.30 today and got to school slightly late at 11.15.. met baby and went to TM.. booked 2 tickets for the 1.35 screening of the mist, then went to sakae sushi at CS to have lunch.. the mist was okok.. abit cliche, but nicely executed.. the ending was totally crap lah.. this has potential to be another 'i am legend'..

went to white sands to walk around after the movie and then to parkway.. walked around ECP again before sending baby home.. went back home myself and then out again to terminal 3 to have dinner before heading to NSRCC to bowl.. came back home at 1.30..

HAPPY 2nd MONTH BABY!!

i want a 14 - 24 2.8

woke up at 7 today.. totally insufficient sleep lah.. haha.. got to school at 8 and hung around with baby before going for PSPS class.. needless to say, PSPS class was a total drag.. didnt do anything.. teacher made us watch a 1 hr movie about conflict management and i slept through it.. left the class at 11 and went to cyber center.. me and YaWen da bao-ed chicken chop from mensa and ate in cyber center.. YaWen was really pissed because her computer and hard disc was infected by a virus from Sharon's computer.. by right, my memory card should have been infected.. but somehow, it wasent.. haha!

went to return the camera at clark quay with Alfred.. after that, we stoped by funan and bras basah complex.. funan to look around and bras basah so that Alfred could get his white mask for his shoot.. it was very funny walking through art friend with a designer.. haha! went to simlim after that and went straight to Alan Photo.. most of the staff there know me already and i sat at the back area (where all the DSLRs, flashes and lens are) and chatted with one of the staff.. he showed us the new Nikkor 14 - 24 2.8.. the lens is SEXY! built on lens hood and a very very spherical front element.. chatted for awhile before taking 23 back to school..

after class, went back to cyber to slack abit more and then to jap lecture and then to NSRCC to have dinner with my bro before heading home to rush my OOP project..

woke up at 7 today and got to school at 8.. went to cyber but it wasent opened till 9.. so we slacked outside and listened to the 'Noel song'.. haha!

we took our time to get ready to shoot.. when we were finally ready, we walked outside to meet the DPA freshies.. we got there just in time.. they all got their clues and went out on the tresure hunt.. we walked to the fountain first before heading to the triangular garden and then to the ALP site.. me and Noel got good macro shots of a jumping spider feasting on another spider..

went back to cyber and then out again to have lunch.. tried the bistro walk today.. first time eating there.. for 6.20, we had a 5 course meal and a desert.. the food was alright.. their veggi dish consisted of everything that i dont eat.. capsicums and carrots.. yuck..

day 2 of DPA

woke up at 9 today and got to school for webapps at 10.. got some work done and then went to cyber to the ALP area to meet baby.. we then walked back to cyber center to put my bag down before leaving for the ALP area again.. they were having a breifing and the guy told me that they wont be climbing for another hour.. so all the photographers went to the bread board for lunch, Alvin in his harness which looked very very wrong.. haha! we kept calling it a thong..

after lunch, we all went back to the site and just shot here and there.. alot of repeated shots.. sent baby to her class and then back again.. shot abit more and then went back to cyber.. some of us went out to design to have a early dinner that Suan Yang called a 'snack'.. haha! baby met us there and we went back to cyber for awhile before going home..

my dad's buisness friend from Vietnam was in town.. so we brought her out for dinner.. well, my bro and dad brought her out.. and i met them at the Stone Grill, near Aston's.. my 1st time trying it.. its basically a slab of volcanic stone heated to 400 degrees centigrade and sprinkled with salt.. you cook your meat over the hot stone.. the meat was EXTREMELY fresh and tender.. but kind of tastless as they werent marinated.. they do come with sauces though.. all in all, the food is great and provides for a unique experience.. if you're ready to spend at least 100 for 2 people..

bbq outing with VC

woke up at 7 today and got to school at 8 to pei baby.. sent her to lecture hall before heading to cyber.. i slacked at cyber for 7 whole hours ok.. was supposed to have netfund.. but half the class was having lab test and my slot is next week.. so didnt have any lessons.. i only left cyber once to have lunch at mensa 2.. mensa 1 was still closed due to the fire.. anyway, watched like 4 episodes of heroes in total in cyber today.. people kept poping in and out and i was at times sitting alone with my laptop..

went for webapps at 4 and didnt do anything much there also.. just mainly slacked around and watched 1 episode of heroes in class.. the damn tutor was nowhere to be found.. left at 5.45 and went back to cyber for awhile before leaving to send baby home.. after that, i waited for like 30 mins for 31 to arrive.. there was like 10 buses using the bus stop i was at.. and i could have sworn that the other 9 have passed by at lease 2 times each before 31 finally showed up..

anyway, got to chomp pang bbq to find most of the VC members already done.. i got some food and bbqed it with some help from Dickson, Suan Yang, Melissa, Noel and Alvin.. Alvin drank another raw egg infront of me.. and this time, with a STRAW!! ate till about 10.30 before leaving.. we asked the aunty there to take a photo for us.. Dickson's 30D was used and when the aunty pressed the shutter release, 3 shots were fired.. haha! the aunty was so shocked lah! lol..

anyway, went to the bus stop to take 23 back to tamp inter.. and i waited with Noel and Humphrey for like 30 mins for the damn bus to arrive.. my 2nd long wait for a particular bus.. we saw 133 and 65 pass by at least 3 times ok.. chatted with Noel about camera stuff all the way back to inter.. it was about 11.50 already and i missed the last 72 home.. so had to take 293 instead!

Heroes is addictive

woke up at 12 today.. slacked at home for the entire day watching heroes.. i asked Alfred to burn the whole of season 1 into DVDs for me last week.. but didnt have the chance to watch it as i was really busy with stuff.. but now that its the weekends, i finally got around to watching it.. each episode is about 45 mins long and i watched about 5 of them today.. LOL!! its REEEAAALLLYYY addictive ok..

anyway.. left for NSRCC at about 5+ because bro and dad wanted to watch the national league.. so i brought my laptop there and watched heroes instead.. HAHA!! went back to pick up my mum before heading to parkway parade to walk around.. was planning on buying shoes, but they didnt have the designs.. haha.. so went for dinner at samy's curry before heading home

food and bowling

woke up at 11.30 today.. didnt do anything much for the morning.. waited for HP to deliver my laptop back from servicing.. got it back at about 12.50 and left for lunch at 1.. went to terminal 3 again.. this time, we went to the food court and i tried the korean spicy fried chicken.. it was seriously spicy and fantastic.. haha!

went bowling after that.. my form was totally crap today.. too long never bowl already.. my release was screwed up lah.. Darren was bowling on my right lane and halfway through, he walked towards me with his spare ball and showed it to me.. a chunk of the ball.. about 4" by 2" by 1" was gone from the ball.. i've had my fair share of scratches and chips.. but this is in a totally different league.. a whole PIECE of the ball just got chiped off!

went back at about 5+ and slacked at home watching heros and doing nothing till about 8 when we left for simpang bedok.. there was this new stall called sedap corner.. so we tried it.. i ordered the tom yam noodles.. which was not as good as what i had expected and given its $10 price tag.. my dad's nasi lemak and my brother's fried chicken rice left much to be desired for also..

polariser - photography

a polariser is a filter that distorts sunlight going through it. the outcome is little or non reflection of sunlight, and very dramatic skys, as exampled here:


DPA day 1

woke up at 10 today and got to school at 11.. went to cyber center and had lunch with Pang Hock and baby.. went back to cyber and slacked for quite awhile.. Suan Yang walked into cyber and everyone had a shock.. guess what? HE CUT HIS HAIR! LOL!! after leaving it to run wild for a year, its been tamed.. haha..

anyway, we all went to LT25 at design to shoot the event.. they had a small lecture by Kyle, who was really entertaining.. haha! the freshies split up into 3 groups and i was assigned to group 3 with baby and Liu Ying.. group 3's first stop was at the koi ponds to decorate the I AM shirts that they all got.. after decourating, they all went to tour the school.. first stop was at the TAC, then to the student lounge.. their last stop was at the sports hall.. but we didnt go there as we all felt lazy.. haha! the 3 of us slacked outside the bookshop on the benches.. and was joined by Noel, Dickson and Kai Xin..

went back to cyber center after that and stayed awhile more before the rest went opposite school to have dinner.. dad picked me up and we all went to my mum's to pick her up to go for dinner.. went to some zhi cha restraunt and had hokkien noodles for dinner.. then went to mustafa's with intentions of getting new shoes.. but they didnt sell Vans anymore =(

had a casual walk past the camera section and i commented that the D200 and D300's price are quite close.. my dad told me that the dealer price for the D200 was 1600 and the D300 was 2300.. hope to get the latter.. but thats not my call now is it? haha!

woke up at 7 today and got to school at 8 to meet baby.. slacked around outside ITAS and then went to short circuit to meet my PSPS class.. we were doing some outdoor activity today.. alot of lame games lah.. there was this particular one where we have to touch a particular colour on someone's shirt when the teacher calls it out.. i was in my team temasek shirt.. and the only one in red.. my teacher took one look at me, and called out: RED!

went to cyber center after that to slack.. was alone for awhile till Sharon came in.. went to jupiter to have lunch before heading back to cc to slack some more.. Pang Hock got more of the I AM shirts and i took another one.. same dirty green colour.. Sharon kindly drew my face on the left sleeve for me, along with the words Photographer and Bowler below the I AM wording.. THANKS SHARON!!

TP alumni night pics

Just 2 of the pics i took on the alumni night.. the backdrop was supposed to look like a mugshot..




This is what the place looked like.. exactly like a studio huh?

printers and Ferraris

woke up at 9 today and got to school for webapps at 10.. did nothing much at webapps.. just continued with the project.. finished up the buttons today and started on the banner using flash..

went to cyber after that and met up with Neo and Darwis.. we went to buisness to have lunch and was joined by Pang Hock.. met Don there.. im seeing him everywhere lah.. anyway, went back to cyber and slacked alone.. Noel came in after awhile and uploaded some photos.. Dickson came a short while later and he opened the new printer which he bought from Suan Yang at a bargain price.. he wanted to test the prints.. so we decided that we didnt want to connect it to a PC.. so we took a pic with my camera (Noel and Dickson didnt bring theirs), and wanted to picbridge it.. but Nikon dosent do that.. so we thought we'd try cyber's 300d.. but it turns out that that one cant do it too.. haha! so Dickson suggested that he use his mac to transfer a photo as it dosent need a driver to run it.. but.. the printer dosent come with a cable! hahaha.. just when they were going to give up, i remembered that my trusty handphone has pictbridge! LOL!!

NOKIA PWNS NIKON AND CANNON!!

anyway.. went back for maths tut and when i was going back to cyber, i saw Dickson, Alfred, PuiYe and YaWen walking away from it.. they were going opposite school to get a cake for the birthday peeps.. so i joined them and bought it.. went back to school for OOP and then back to cyber again.. on the way back, i saw this Ferrari F430 Spider just outside of the engine cargo lift.. SUPER COOL LAH! gunmetal grey ok! and the best part is that i have a strong feeling that its a SCUDERIA!! probably the 1st in Singapore lah! the exhausts and bodykit looks like one!

celebrated Darwis's and Alexiel's birthday at cyber's 2nd floor and then went back home

weird day

woke up at 7 after only about 5 hours of sleep and went to school to meet baby.. we rushed her OOPG assignment and managed to complete 1 method.. went for class after that.. netfund lab was alright.. the schedule for the lab test was out.. im in group 4 which means i dont have to go for the lesson next week! hahahahaha.. wheee~

mark and me went to have lunch before going to the library to do our telsys project.. but the library didnt have internet connection.. so we went to cyber center instead.. when we got there, the emergency door was wide open.. and there was a pungent smell of petrolleum in the air.. turns out, mensa 1 caught fire.. haha.. the funniest part is that the DRINKS stall caught fire.. anyway.. mensa 1 and 2 was closed.. and the smell of the fire lingers in cyber..

mark left and i stayed on in cyber chatting with everyone there.. went for webapps class after that and completed abit of the project.. went back to cyber for awhile and i created my own effect! haha.. remember the Dickson effect? well.. heres the NICK TEO EFFECT!!

picture of Pui Ye taken during the open house at 9mm focal length
anyway, sent baby home via cab and then took a bus back to tamp inter and met up with dad and bro.. we went to the club where i had my dinner and bowled 4 games..

heres another pic by Noel who tried to emulate my effect XD

buffet dinner

woke up at 1.30 today.. haha.. had chicken rice at home and slacked the day away at home.. only left my house at 5.30 to go to suntec city..

apparently, my mum's good friend strike the lottery and wanted to treat us to dinner.. so we went to suntec abit early to have a look around.. at about 7+, we all met up and went to the 5th floor.. we were having a buffet at the NUS graduant's club restraunt..

the spread was good.. not really wide, but good.. they had jacket potatoes, corn on the cob, and salad for starters.. for the mains, they had honey glazed ribs, chicken chipolita franks, scallop, fresh prawns, dory fillets, venus clams(sea hum) and 2 types of steak.. i didnt really touch the dessert.. but still, the food was good..

after dinner, some of them stayed behind for a drink while some of us went downstairs to shop.. marcus bought himself a new pair of shoes.. i wanted a new pair of Vans.. but the ones i choose were out of stock.. so we all went for ben and jerrys.. my 4th time and 4 days! hahahahaha.. had chocolate fudge brownie.. my fav!

open house last day

woke up at 11 today and got to school just after 12.. slacked around in CC and had lunch with YaWen, Pang Hock and Melissa at cyber.. me and YaWen went to da pao botak jones who had a stall at the plaza.. got lots of free stuff!! got a free cotton candy, a free cup of ice cream from Delia AND.. a free can of red bull from one of the red bull people.. haha! YaWen was jelous.. so i gave her my ice cream! im so nice hor.. XD

after lunch, we went out to the triangular garden to shoot the mass dance/chicken dance/school song again for the 3rd day in a row.. before that, Sui Ying won herself a free scoop of ben and jerry's and she gave most of the ice cream to me!! hahaha.. 3rd time in 3 days eating ben and jerrys again.. after shooting at the triangular garden, we went back to cyber just in time before it rained heavily.. baby joined us from her class and we all went to mensa 1 for the apreciation dinner..

went back to cyber for awhile before going out again to shoot the jam and hop.. not much stuff to shoot as it was really dark.. and the production crew made the smoke machine face the crowd instead of the stage.. so we got a full blast of funky smelling smoke everytime they saw fit.. went back to cyber prematurely as i was feeling really tired by then.. so just slacked around till it was time to leave.. went BOWLING after that.. i was tired.. but since i havent bowled in days.. i went!

got back home at 1.45 after bowling 6 games.. scores okok only.. 1st 3 frames for 0-0 ok.. LOL!! totally forgot how to bowl.. managed to pick up from the 4th onwards

woke up at 10 today and got to school at 11.. went straight to CC and slacked till about 11.30 before going for lunch with the guys.. baby joined us after awhile before we went back to CC and dispersed for the open house.. we mainly spent our time at the triangular gardens area as it was the most happening place around.. it started to rain just as the mass dance was over.. so we all went back to cyber to upload..

alot of people went home including baby and only a few remained to go for the alumni night event.. we were supposed to help shoot some mugshots of the alumni to create the atmosphere of the mysterie theme.. the theme was about someone who got killed and the alumni were supposed to guess who the murderer was.. the event was super cool lah.. the atmosphere was like a club.. there was food.. beer and chocolate everywhere for everyone.. Pang Hock gave me a bottle of beer.. but i dont drink.. so poured it for Alvin, Sharon and YaWen..

after awhile, the alumni stopped coming to our side and we got the chance to shoot some stuff.. pics some other day.. im very tired.. i was in school from 11 to 11 lah! 12 hrs leh! haha.. dad picked me up from school and we went to NSRCC to fetch my brother and then went for dinner at 802 before heading home..

TP Open House day 1

woke up at 7 today and got to school at 8 to meet baby and slacked outside ITAS.. met Charlene (cousin) on the way back to engine for my PSPS, which was a total waste of time lah.. super lame.. then had this assignment where i have to take note of what im doing for every hour of an entire week.. WTF!?

met KaiWen and had lunch at mensa till 11.30 before going to CC to get ready for shoot.. everyone left at 12 and me and YaWen went to shoot around together.. went to plaza first before going to engine.. walked all the way to the end and back lah.. lol.. went to ITAS after that and i got one of the butterfly thingys that were everywhere.. pasted it on my flash.. haha!

slacked around CC and talked cock till about 7 before leaving.. baby had to attend a talk about her course and the rest of us went to TM to eat.. wanted to have Cafe Cartel, but was packed.. so was Ajisan and Pastamania.. so tried Central instead.. compared to other HK food joints such as HK Cafe and Crystal Jade, this one was totally CRAP! dun bother trying!

wednesday

woke up at 8 today.. i would normally wake up an hour later on wednesdays but this week, i had to attend the jap lec that i didnt attend last week due to PSPS make up class.. they were giving out attendance taking slips.. so had to go.. anyway, got there and sat alone in the LT.. went for OOP after that and was one of the 1st to complete the graded lab.. yeah.. 2nd graded lab in 2 days!

headed down to CC after that to find everyone there playing with Pang Hock's old studio light.. YaWen tried it out on her D80 (Nikon), and i tried it on my D40 (Nikon).. and it works well on both.. but when Dickson hooked it up to his 30D (Canon), there was a pop sound, and smoke came out of it.. LOL! the whole of cyber center was filled with the smoke smell lah!

we then went to mensa to watch Darwis and Alfred eat.. after that went to the library to support Alvin in his basic photography talk.. Michael Aw, a renowned underwater photographer from Singapore was there also to give a talk after Alvin's.. his shots were marvelous lah! he uses a NIKON D2Xs!!! hahahaha..

Heres a pic of a D2Xs beside my D40
went for lunch at flavours with baby, YaWen and Alfred.. had nasi padang.. went back to CC to collect my bag before heading for jap tutorial.. didnt do anything much.. me and Mark were laming throughtout the whole tutorial.. and i got 40/60 for my class test!! hahahahahahaha~

been sleeping 6-7 hour nights for over a week now.. and it has seriously taken its toll on me.. i feel very lethargic these few days lah.. every morning when i struggle to wake up, i'll tell myself.. tonight, i'll sleep at 9pm.. but when 9pm reached, i'll be rushing project after project, assignment after assignment.. dammit.. school has started and im still in holiday mode..

anyway, woke up at 9 today and got to school at 10.. had our webapps2 lab test today.. and seriously, it was extremely difficult.. only 2 people managed to connect their websites to the database.. and im one of the 2! haha.. not sure if i can pass though.. still alot of work not done.. how to complete a website in 1 and a half hours!? anyway.. there was this guy who was sitting next to me.. he was extremely frustrated about not being able to connect.. so he was like talking to himself.. wtf?? 'how come cannot connect?' 'everytime say error..' and so on.. LOL!! i took out my mp3 and listen because he was sooooo distracting..

went to meet baby at jupiter and had lunch before going to cyber center to slack.. went up the the darkroom to search for the missing receipt for the photo developing paper that me and Dickson bought long ago.. skipped maths tutorial to look for it.. but didnt manage to find it.. haha! went for OOP after that and was surprised by a graded lab!

managed to be the 1st one to complete a totally new topic today! hahaha.. got back my lab test.. 39.5 over 50.. okok lah.. no more A for programming this sem!

sent baby back home and then went back home for dinner..

hung around with baby outside ITAS and then went for lessons at 9.. Mark told me last night that there was a lab test for netfund.. so i was quite panicky.. but when i got there, the lab test is in 2 weeks time.. haha! so played CS!!!

went for lunch with KW at short circuit and then followed baby and gang to opposite school's KFC.. went to their com lab and slacked awhile before meeting Freddy to get the jap notes from him.. went to CC to find Alfred alone there watching heros.. so joined him till about 4 before leaving for webapps.. but when i got there, i found out that it was lab test week.. and my session was tomorrow.. so.. went back down to CC!!

this time CC was more crowded.. Noel, YaWen and Dickson joined us followed shortly by baby.. we all visited Dickson's new blog and just chit chat.. sent baby home after that before heading home myself

VC outing

woke up late today.. was supposed to meet baby at 11 at bedok but only woke up at 11 when baby called me.. HAHA!! sorry babyyyyy!!

anyway.. got ready in like 15 mins and took a cab down to doby ghaut to meet baby, YaWen, and Sharon.. YaWen told us that we were leaving at 12.. but it turns out that we're leaving at 1 instead! haha.. so sat around and slacked.. me and YaWen were discussing what a polariser does to the picture and i was telling her to look through my camera to the sky.. there was this caucasion guy sitting there looking at us.. so i thought to myself.. ok.. maybe he's just some guy who's just intrested in photography.. but it turns out (when he got up and left), HE HAD A FRIGGIN CANNON 1D MARK III!!! WTF!?!?

anyway.. me and baby was supposed to go to marine parade to shoot the iGuides event (they were giving out free notepads to promote the TP open house).. but we were asked to shoot outside plaza singapura instead.. we still went to marine parade after the PS one.. haha.. after leaving marine parade, we took a bus to bugis where we met up with the rest of VC for dinner.. this dinner had 2 main reasons.. 1, as a farewell dinner to Kwok Kiong who is being enlisted in a few days, and 2, to celebrate Pui Ye's birthday.. haha.. had steamboat at beach road and ate quite alot..

my table had this 'ma la' soup.. which is basically a shitload of chilli oil dumped onto some chicken broth.. when i say shitload, i'm talking more than half of the whole conquction being oil ok.. how to eat!? 15 of us were there and Pang Hock actually paid $7 for each of us lah! very pai seh leh.. haha.. i conducted a mass order for the Sennheiser CX300 headphones which would normally go for $129.. but there was this guy who was selling at $40 if you ordered more than 3 at a go.. so Noel, Alvin and myself bought 1 each.. Noel choose black, me and Alvin, white.. the seller drove to beach road and me and Noel went to meet him to make the purchase.. so.. NEW IN-EARS!! hahahahaha.. it totally pwns ok.. bass is MAD!!

we walked to bugis junction and stopped at this big area where we all suddenly started pics.. haha! Alexiel, Noel and Dickson became our models for tonight.. shot with the D2Xs and they turned out great! the security guard turned up after awhile and told us that shooting was not allowed.. so we split up.. those who are going home went home, and the rest continued shopping..

sent baby home before going home myself with the D2Xs

VC shopping outing

woke up at 9 today and got to school at 10.. waited outside ITAS for about 1 hr for baby.. went down to cyber center and slacked around.. went to engine at 1 to give my PSPS presentation.. left at 2 and went back to cyber to hang around summore.. went to the audi with Alfred to wait for him to scan his card and leave (he had a talk).. but he really took a long time and we all decided not to wait for him.. so me and baby, Noel, Kai Xin and Alexiel went ahead..

we were supposed to catch the 4.45 screening of AvP2 at plaza singapura but because of Alfred's talk, we missed it.. haha.. didnt want to catch a later one because i had a jap presentation meeting later.. so we walked around PS instead.. didnt buy anything at all.. haha.. me and baby left at about 6.30 and i sent her home before heading over to TM to meet Freddy and Serene for jap presentation meeting.. i thought it was going to be some major meeting or what.. but end up only met for about 15 mins.. even got chased away by the macs manager for using their table.. haha..
