Clouds that paint the sky

Was waiting for my bus to come at the school bus stop when I noticed the distinct separation between clouds and blue sky.
Not very often would you get to see such nice clear light blue sky with small fluffy clouds that paint the sky (minus the humidity and the heat).



The images were taken with my 5mp SE phone.

I love watching cloud patterns.

Holga Roll Cinq

After starting off a new roll of film in my holga half a year ago, I've finally finished that roll.
To me, film is expensive medium so I treat each shot with care thought its coming out of a toy camera.
(seriously, the "don't think, just shot" idea is for those who got money to spend on films cos it can waste film shots)
Thanks to Gerald for helping me to scan the images.
Here are some images.

Batam Trip - Film

Following up to the post regarding my to Batam last month, I shot some images using my holga.
So far I've only got 3 images cause I was finishing up the roll in the holga.

Credits to Gerald for helping me to scan the images.
*thanks*




There are a few more images in another roll which I've just finished it. We shall wait for the rest.

Cheers,
Peiyan

Profession

In case some of you are wondering what I'm doing right now...
I've been posted to Chai Chee Sec as a contract teacher.
Things have been going well so far for the past one week as I only did relief teaching for the first 2 days, followed by 2 days of Teacher Preparation Program and there was no class assigned to me on fri.
I'm still trying to get use to the school and know more teachers in the staff room.
What I intend to do is to draw up a staff room sitting plan for myself so that I know the teachers and their teaching subjects.
This is also a way to get them to know me and me to know them.

Hopefully, I can get my timetable on Monday so that I can start my lesson planning proper.
Which means I also need to find out from the teachers where they will be stopping when I take over.
Definately, I need to learn the art of classroom management from the teachers as some of the students are really difficult to settle them down in class.
My aim is to change their minds about study and change their behaviour.
Let's cross my fingers and hope that everything will go smoothly.

Class dismissed,
Peiyan

Batam Trip - Digital

The original plans today was to go Batam and have fun and the cable ski place.
Unfortunately, the place was so hot favourite that it's fully booked.
Still Gerald, Kelvin and I decided to travel to Batam for sight-seeing and some photo taking.

We took the 9.30am ferry to Batam.
Greeted by the large crowd at Harbourfront ferry terminal and slow clearance at Batam immigration, we made it to Batam in a 1 hour ferry ride.

Our main destination was to Nagoya.
The spa which we planned to go too in the afternoon is located somewhere in Nagoya but we had no idea where it is exactly.

We took a cab down to Nagoya and explored the area in the morning before we happened to find the right guy who showed us the place that we were searching for.

Here are some photos which I took in Batam to share.






More images can be found here.

The weather was rather hot. But by the time we finished our spa session, it started to rain heavily. We made our way back to the ferry terminal and settled for some coffee and donuts at J.Co, located in the mall opposite the ferry terminal. The donuts there are cheaper by about 40%. yipeee...
I bought half a dozen back home cause my family don't really enjoy donuts.

We were quite slow when it comes to money as we were trying to convert the prices to Singapore dollars. Furthermore, currency is in rupiah and everything is priced in thousands. :S

22000rupiah = SGD$???,
