I spent in total of about $90 for this set fo toy.
Medium format film cost me $4.60.
I was told I can get cheaper at Cathay Photo.
hmmmm....

TPJC is the best...

came upon this video via my tpjc senior in his msn nick
check it out
it's damn cool....

(i can't embed the video so here's the link)

I believe the lady standing in front of the assembly is the new principle.
and your eyes are not playing tricks.
The last person is Kim Wakerman, the KC gal who is one of the host of KidsCentral.

din noe they so cool to do this kind of video with the change of new principal.

Disappointed...

When to help my VP take down the Montage exhibition just now at Suntec.
We spent about 1 hours to remove all the stuff along the walkway at level 2.
There were only 2 of us doing the whole job.

And what happen to the rest???
argh... ... I just don't want to say.
It was such a disappointment from the rest of the committee members.
Not a single one from those still around came to help.
Neither did they reply to the email posted.
(except for bean)

haiz...
I don't want to tell them off le.
I'm so tired telling them off in my emails.
Sometimes,
I very much want to tell them to reflect on themselves on their commitments in the committee.

I'm so disappointed...

When You Believe...

Loved this song.
Especially the Hebrew children part.

[Miriam]
Many nights we've prayed
with no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know
there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we ever knew we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

[Tzipporah]
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proved in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
With heart so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

[Miriam and Tzipporah]
There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe...

[Hebrew Children]
A-shi-ra la-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah
(I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously)
A-shi-ra la-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah
(I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously)
Mi-cha-mo-cha ba-elim adonai
(Who is like You, oh Lord, among the celestial)
Mi-ka-mo-cha ne-dar- ba-ko-desh
(Who is like You, majestic in holiness)
Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta
(In Your love, You lead the people You redeemed)
Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta
(In Your love, You lead the people You redeemed)
A-shi-ra, a-shi-ra, a-shi-ra...
(I will sing, I will sing, I will sing)

[Hebrews]
There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles

You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
Now you will
You will when you believe

[Miriam and Tzipporah]
You will when you believe

This is funny

Was surfing Merf's blog and he introduced this jap website.
Out of curiosity, I clicked and waited.
Here is the link.

As the website is in Japanese, you must read the synopsis here first:

How does the small arrow on your computer monitor work when we move themouse?
Haven't you ever wondered how it works?
Now, through the miracle of high technology, we can see how it is done.
With the aid of a screen magnifying lens, the mechanism becomes apparent.
Click on the link below and you will find out.

The image may take a minute or two to download and when it appears, slowly move your mouse over the light gray circle and you will see how the magic works.
Follow this link and find out the truth and how satisfying it
is to KNOW.

Remember to do the following:
1. Switch on your speakers
2. Move the mouse all over your screen before moving it over the light gray circle
3. Left-click your mouse

Have fun....

Something wrong with zhabors @ YIH

I seriously think that there is something wrong with the zha bors at YIH.
The female toilet next to DMC is always so dirty.
Dirty with toilet papers all over the floor
Dirty with tea leaves all over the basin
Dirty with urine on the toilet bowl

It makes me wonder how they urine in the cubicles.
It's those sitting type and I dun see why there are puddle of urine on the toilet seats???
Unless they got problem with their urinal tract and their peeping hole is much higher than others??

Pissed.

Macro first try using reverse mount

Digging up shots taken some time ago.
Played with my 50mm reverse mounted to take macro.
Due to very short focusing distance, most of the shots taken are oof.
Manage to have 2 "better" ones from the series.
Will try again some other time.
Too bad I forget my settings le.

The fruit of some plant. (Looks like rambutan though.)

Water droplets.

感想

一个人在DMC里做工很寂寞。
Fifi因为今天要道兀兰去拿东西和下午有补习所以没来。

昨天晚上没事做就翻了朋友的blog来看。
其中一个日记写这对感情的感想。
日记里写这为什么男人和女人小的时候在谈感情方面是那么开放的。
爱一个人就直接的跟他说。
不然就是在背后静静的暗恋着。
可是现在长大后的男人和努女人对感情是那么拉拉扯扯的。
不知道应该不应该坦白的和对方表白。
而当感到在这段感情上感到不对竟，都已经太迟了而后悔。

想起了这个日记纪录，我不经开始流下了眼泪。
想起了以前那段和fifi在一起的快乐时光。
而因为双方都保持沉默和一直拉拉扯扯的感情，结果招成了悲伤。
我每天晚上睡觉前都一直在哭。
把我自己哭到睡。
离开我之后才发现我真正爱的人是fifi。
连心都给了他。
自己一个人越变得越伤心。

怎么办才好？？？

Congrads to SAC CHOIR!!!!

Here's an extract from Channelnewsaisa's website:

School choir bags two gold medals at international competition
By Teresa Tang, Channel NewsAsia Posted: 13 June 2007 2058 hrs

SINGAPORE: St. Anthony's Canossian Secondary School choir has returned to Singapore with two gold medals from the prestigious International Festival of Song in Prague. As the only Asian entrant out of 127 choirs from around the world, the troupe sang their way to second position overall. "The best part probably was that we learnt a lot of new things, like learning to accommodate one another... tolerate one another, and at the same time we worked [towards] and achieved a common goal," said Liau Kai Xin, Choir Member, St. Anthony's Cannosian Secondary School. The girls’ parents and teachers agree that winning was great, but the journey to victory was even better. "In education values, they really learned how to focus, how to strive for their own goals, so that is something I am very happy about," said Taw Sio Ling, Head of Co-Curricular Activities, St. Anthony's Cannosian Secondary School. "They performed in very difficult circumstances, they learned to cope with the stress of competition... and they've come through. I think that will stand them in good stead in life, later on," said Melanie Martens, Principal, St. Anthony's Cannosian Secondary School. - CNA/yy

Go SAC Choir go!!!

Tribute to National Stadium

This is a tribute to the National Stadium...
Whom stood for many celebrations, sporting events and glory.

Went to national stadium to shoot with gerald, jiexiang, fifi, patrick, nicholas and few other friends.

The stadium source of life.

The old sticky running track.


The field from where I saw that score board.

One of the mightly gurdians.

The shotput pit aimed far and wide...

Another gurdian at Gate 3.

The old feeling of the stadium...

Even the users enjoy relaxing here.

The stand where the important people sat.

And saw the sea of Singaporeans all around them.

Who are these speacial seats for I asked myself...

Which even had special row numberings on the floor.

Tried to looked for clue under them...

But the nice sunset was all that I witnessed.

Couldn't help but to stay and watch a while more.

Eventually, it all ended nicely.

不知道应该说什么。。。

该是时候用华语来写这个纪录。。。
忙了那么久，终于可以松一口气。
身为摄影学会主席的我从来没有一次快乐的时光。
组员一个一个渐渐的离开。
剩下的人都快忙不过来。
从考试过后到现在，我都一直在忙。
忙着想这想那。。。
忙着气那些“忍者”。。。
忙着气那些省下的人。
我很累。。。
真得很累。
我很想哭。
很想躲在一个角落不停的哭。
以为一个完美的组队却已经散开了。
原来的团体精神都跑到哪了？？？

我一直都很想念一个人。
很后悔不珍惜和他在一起的时光。
现在后悔了也来不及了。
多想可以牵着他的手。。。
多想他吻的人是我。。。
多想他抱的人是我。。。
有时候我好恨她。
看到他们在一起，心里觉得很酸与恨。
恨她抢走了我的爱。
心里有很多话要跟他说
虽然他有些事错怪了我，但是我从来也不要告诉他。
我宁可我伤心也不要让他伤心。
现在唯一我可以做的就是默默地等待他回到我身边。。。
我爱你。。。
我的心里只有你。。。
你是我的唯一。

Montage is FINALLY OVER!!!!

After planning so long for this "grand" event which marks the highest peak as a committee of NUSPS, Montage 2007 Seminar has finally ended.
There wasn't happiness.
There wasn't a single cheer from anyone.
Not even hugging or high fives.
Only a sense of relieve.

It has long come to my attention that my committee is doing Montage for the sake of doing it.
They think that just because Montage have been running for 8 years, the committee must keep it running no matter how dreadful it's going to be for them.

I really feel that my committee is very irresponsible.
I don't see the reason why they made plans to go for internships overseas when they have been working on this Montage planning since November 2006.
It's so... argh!!!!!
They are just finding excuses to run away.
One of them was even worst.
Disappear right after exams.
Another one went home and came back with a job.

The period after exam was crucial.
Yet, only half of the committee was left to continue the work.
Stressed...
With each weekend getting nearer, everyone have to share workload.
I was working on all the events - competition, judging, seminar, exhibition.

Competition -> Email winners, help at the submission station for youth category, coordinate the exhibited entries.
Judging -> Hosted the judging for the whole day without knowing what I'm suppose to say while entertaining ppl, design certificates.
Seminar -> Coordinate with our client service executive in Suntec, plan the moving-in, picking up stuffs, ensuring that things go well, ensure that all things are brought to Suntec.

Rather exhausted doing so many people's job.

At then end of the seminar, we had our committee and group photos taken.
Everyone looked so serious with that relieved look in their face.
Not even a single informal shot was taken.
There was no fun after the seminar.
Everyone packed, ate "lunch" in the evening at the reception area and went their own ways.
We were left with 5 committee members back to school to help unload the things back to DMC.
What a committee they are.
To think that once the seminar was over they are free for their own activities.
I didn't say that they can't go after the seminar
But at least they should very well know that they need to help bring back the stuff to DMC.
I was "working" with Jiexiang and the alumni to plan for a pizza party after we finish unloading the things.
But... What did we have?
5 people with one van enjoying happily at Prata Palace at Clementi.
What a sad thing to hear from...

It's so obvious how my committee treat Montage 2007.
