Chapter 16 - a Dream eversince a kid


The month of dec is nearing, Yes. it's the season of Happiness and joy but it also bears another meaning, ..The season of sorrow and loneliness.

Ever since i was a child, i would love chirstmas. It was always so cooling, but somehow i would always feel lonely. Every now and then a feeling of sadness would grasp me.
Listening to chrismas tunes would somehow cheer me up~
Looking back in the old days, we would always see shows shown on TV during Christmas season, those houses~beautiful cottages with snows covering the rooftop, and the warmth light shining out through the windows during the fall and the rise of the yolk like sun.
I was totally in love with those sights. It was so magical, sort of fantasy
Maybe it was during then that i really took an interest in learning photography, to learn to capture sights and never forget abt them.

Dreaming - yes, there were wishful thinking of owning one of those cottages and if possible , fill them with warmth. Wouldnt it be nice if we could be with our next half getting warm by the fireplace, holding hands together even when we are even to feeble to be walking ard. It would be the best retirement dreamed for, What a lovely sight!

Well, till now even at my age, i haven stopped dream for this to happen, be it a holiday during Dec with my half at this cottage would be even a great enjoyment in my life for me. ~ i was not even half embarass to say that, i am dead serious.

Working hard, i hope there would be a time, this dream would be fulfilled.~Looking forward to December , Chrismas and Birthday.

Cheers~

Chapter 15 - 一颗心交给谁



曲:一颗心交给谁
歌手:伍思凯 专辑:《真爱》

一颗心交给谁

词:陈道明
曲:伍思凯编曲:伍思凯
唱:伍思凯


我的一颗心交给谁?
交出去会不会后悔?
爱情的边缘一次又一次徘徊
我的一颗心交给谁?
交出去能不能收回?
付出了感情只怕换来是伤悲.
过去我为爱流过泪,
现在已锁上我心扉,
孤单和寂寞习惯陪我心沉睡.
是否该抛开是与非,
再爱一次也无所谓,
自从遇见你仿佛已经忘了我是谁.

我的心应该交给谁?
交给你会不会心碎?
迷惑的眼睛已分不清对不对.

我的心应该交给谁?
交给你会不会心碎?
一颗心交给谁?

A Song that i love, Yes, it is an old song.
There is just a fine line betwwen Love and Hate, But someone would say -
I Love you but Hate you at the same time.

Chapter 14 - at Indoor Stadium

Yes, it has been a tiring and confusing week. Nowadays keep feeling very emotional.
YES, guys do get emotional too just not too often. just like aku who would get all emotional watching news reports.

As mention in my earlier post, today would be my last photo shoot. After sch, i rush to Kallang just to find a good spot to take the photos sunset. Sadly to say, i dont really feel well, totally no ling gan. Guess it is due to my lack of sleep again.

But not wishing for any regrets, i started snapping away. Attached are some of the photos which i had process. Most of the photos would be kept in my comp for personal viewing as i am too lazy to process all of them. Pls, make do with it, i am just an amatuer although what i had hope for was to have improvements.

Do give some comments even if they look lousy %^#$&^)^^(. I swear i wont spam u. lol



Kallang - areas near indoor stadium

my starting point, on the bridge










Starting sunset













I squat down a long time before i could get a good shot of this pic.
















To be frank, i think there are still many more better photos then the ones posted, but i cant really make up my mind to choose which., so what i did was randomly chose them. i got no preferance as i always like to view them in RAW format.
Yanting has commented that my photos has a nostalgia feel.
I do admit my photos seems to be emitting a certain degree of sadness, maybe they where taken when i was having to much "xin shi" -_-

Well to cater to the ladies, and as what Yanting mention "ladies fav Magical Fantasy feel" , here are they are~.














Thats all for now, if i can manage my time, i will try to upload more better photos. LOL. Ciaosu~

Chapter 13 - Back to Reality



-_-" .....i feel so sad, i guess i wont be taking any more photo sessions and since jinming will be back next week, i will just return the DSLR. Having dreams of taking better photos has been so unrealistic, perhaps i will just end it with the last outing this coming weekend.

Lifes cruel, my exam starts next week and i am in a mess when it comes to Java programming. i haven not even start my project. well, it is all my fault. I kept thinking i would have enough time and that i have friends who studies Java to help out in my revision and project.

I was Dead wrong, -_- unexpectedly, those that claim to help if i ever needed was never free. Back to basic, i have to start all over again, from those that i learn from day 1. Gonna wake up my idea instead of relying and pleaing for any help.
No, i am not blaming anyone, it was all my bad for being over "i know u will help me" concept.

Nowdays i get tense up so much , unable to get to sleep. Think i will have to start dosage on my sleeping pills again, been to the doc, thats what he recommanded too.

Now i can only hope to hit my sales quota for the next 2 months , to finish my Java project in 3 weeks, and to prepare for the 2 final papers within 1 month.

What a sad life, the air seems to be choking me.

Chapter 12 - Second Photo shoot at Mount Faber and Esplanade


Well, Sat has been a very tiring day. at 5.15am i started my journey to Mount Faber..YES , i really mean MOUNT FABER and by foot (Climbing up Mount Faber was yet another torture!). It has been 10 years since i went there and this time instead of going there lovely dovey with some gal! (lol, as if i could manage to get one there with me) i went there to get the first glimsp of the sunrise!

here are some photos. dont expect it to be too good as i didnt do any editing to it at all. Just wanted to show you guys/ gals the real beautiful side of the sunrise. (ps..It was cloudy and it started to rain all of a sudden...-_- guess i went at the wrong day)


On way way there by foot, passing the PIE.

Mount Faber


On Top of Mount Faber, yes, this was a bad pic, Blur but i still like it.


As the sky starts to brighten up.


Beautiful Clouds~












Clouds starting to clear and can see the orange sun rising!





My Nightmare! Rain all of a sudden!


Hid here, protecting the cam and my trusy laptop waiting for rain to stop.
(i had wanted to buy a can of coke from this "bistro" when it opened, here is the following conversation)

me : Eh, mr, u got sell coke here anot?
The worker : "looks at me" Got, but 1 can is 7 dollars.
me : "Opens mouths" Huh! 7 dollars?
The worker : ya, cos here is "Shang Ding" (The Peak) ma. Even the coffe here cost S$6.00+.
me : -_-" , and walks away.


The rain started to get smaller and i made my way home -_- sway sia. reached
home ard 10am le.

Took a short nap before waking up for school , after that i went to meet Daniel at Esplanade at 5pm,who gave me a lots of tips sharing his knowledge on photography. Thanks Daniel!

I had invited a friend to do a photo shoot in the evening(hehe, needed a model) sadly to say was rejected -_- so i decided to continue the shoot till night. After Daniel went home, i took a walk to clake quay and snapped some photos! Hoho, i hope i did improve on the shots!
Here are the random photos -



Esplanade



























Clark Quay








Favorite Pic of the day!

Going through all the photos , i know i still have a long way to go, but i am sure i have definately improved. well, most people would post their best photos on their blogs, but Hell no!, not for me. Posting and ugly photos here just reminds me to improve, to be better and not made anymore mistakes on the exposure and the shutter speed, how to find the best spot and to judge the better angle. During this trip, i had learn alot. Hope during the next trip i would get to take other types of Photo themes and find my own style.
