PERMANENT REPEATS.
everybody, the Lunar New Year is coming right up. that's good news for a few reasons. if you really must know, these reasons are ranked by importance and significance (to me at least) .
ONE, the photography "season of wits" is here. this is one of the most prominent festivals in Singapore, and one of the most widely celebrated too. two years ago on this very same week, my photography mentor took me to Chinatown and made his class take pictures of anything interesting about the festival. what we came out with surprised even us. thus it successfully knocked into my mind the importance of taking advantage of any procession or wide-spread celebration to make the most of my creativity.
however, that meant i was also "rudely" thrust into the community of more professional photographers; whom boasting wide-angled lens, filters, stands and gel packs (if you know what i mean, you must be one of us); left me feeling so small and poor in this expensive hobby. but i guess that would be a small price to pay for this annual luxury. :)
oh and this time last year:
i really want to get a proper recognition in photography, have decided to enter all the competitions on my own this year. TJS my mentor has OFFICIALLY RETIRED, as he feels he has taught me everything i need to know, and all he can do is sit and watch me play with colour. and the occasional criticism. ha ha. but it will be a whole new level of photography, one on my own feet, independently finding shoot areas, and angles, the models, the way i perceive things. i need to be unique, and stand with my own style to be able to capture my passion for the art. NOT EASY(!!!) will do my bestest to meet ur hopes. :) happy world tour!
TWO, I'm working.
of course it's bad news, i hear you moan. no, it's good. now, i can actually feel, for once, what the people on duty during big festivals feel. it may not be pleasant, but at least i can learn to avoid it next time. ;)
THREE, change has really happened, and i want to be one of the firsts to document it. this time last year:
tried to drag myself early to school, because it's MINYI'S birthday today. so happy birthday~ ya, and i took a cab to school so i can be on time! yeah, i barely made it on time before soon tried to close the gates.like 30
seconds early. so... I'm in school, i sit in class and i somehow made it to end of assembly.
yes, these flashbacks are the exact dates of each event.
that's about what i need to say today, if you're going to Chinatown around 7am (you shouldn't, really!) , and you see a little girls snapping pictures furiously with her semi-DSLR, go up and say hi. perhaps you could be a part of those pictures; you never know.
good night, my friends.
Labels: and i did it., i will love again, if you remember the next quote click it, whether or not its you.

MOOD SWINGS.
mood swings all through the week.
went to watch THE LAST AIRBENDER: LEGEND OF AANG at Kallang Leisure Park yesterday. Felt cheated cause it was just book one, but it was good nonetheless. i still owe Daniel a dollar for my ticket though. round-up of who went:
Ivan, Szu Yuan, Eugene, Daryl, Rong Da, Wen Bin, Nigel, Eunice, Claire, Hui Shan, Hui Min, Iris, Huiru, Daniel and Me.
kept my distance from Ivan yesterday, he's in a bad mood too. Gavril and Qien pulled out at the last minute, and Zhang yang, Yvonne and Belinda opted out early.
decided to forgo my promise to sit beside him in the movie, pulled Huiru to sit beside me when she came later. anyway, I doubt he would have the guts to get up in front of our class, cross three rows and sit down beside me without eliciting rumors. he just cares too much about what people think.
should just snap out of my bad mood, but it's like a snake spiral. i start at the top all over again, to find myself helplessly sliding to the bottom.

SUNDAY
14 DAYS TO CNY
shared my life story in cell group today, missed the moving of the house.
started okay, ended better than i expected. plus i wore a dress to church, and kind of fufilled a wish of mine, though maybe i should review what i wear in the future stringently from now on. oh ya, bought a $9.90 white tee with Gloria at the Robinson's sale! so i'm wearing that next week.
i had to explain alot of my life, things i've kept very long and i've always wanted to tell my dearest friends, especially those that have shared thiers with mone so freely before this life thing even. i'm not sure if sharing can change perception of the way you look at tings, but for me it is healing in a big way. i cried for the first time in church in a long time, and it felt good just being able to talk to God and let it all out again.
so the sharing went well. thanks and a round of appluase for IVAN. for the edition of my script for the 10th time. you have patience, man...
next. home and opened my email. okay, guess who sent me this song? no prizes for takers.
You know you love me
I know you care
Just shout whenever,
And I'll be there
You want my love
You want my heart
And we would never, ever, ever be apart
Are we an item?
Girl quit playin'
We're just friends,
What are you sayin'?
Say there's another and look right in my eyes
My first love, broke my heart for the first time
For you, I would have done whatever
And I just can't believe we ain't together
And I'm wanna play it cool
While I'm losin you
I'll buy you anything
I'll buy you any ring
Cause I'm in pieces
Baby fix me
And just shake me till you wake me from this bad dream
I'm goin down, down, down
And I just can't believe my first love won't be around
You can give all of your love
But sometimes it won't be enough
No body told me this day would come
Now I'm all gone
You can give all of your love
But sometimes it won't be love
No body told me this day would come
done guessing? yups its... daryl.
yes i know it's obvious. but why are all the chorus cut out? it's probably the verses that speak louder than the chorus. for blur people it's Justin Bieber's Baby, a just-hit in Singapore, and like everywhere now.
getting my mind off it is going to be TOUGH. needless to say, it hasnt been sucessful.
