Day 1 IMF

world of opportunities.

really sia.

bt4 i get into my exciting day, hahha. MY BIKE ARRIVED TODAY! ahhahaa. i'm really really really happy. but the seat is not adjustable and i can't reach the ground.

ANYWAYS.

hahaha.


met at LGS. met up with the SP ppl at delifrance. ahha. Meisy is really sweet la. haha. no offense, but she's the same height as me. nice to have her around (:
then then.
we got out letter of appointment and out long awaited PASS. ahhaha. according to them. its the highest level of clearnace pass. which means, can go anywhere. cool huh.
then walked around. take more shots. walked around more. more breifings, dos and donts.. more then at arounf 4 plus. dispersed.

during this whole time. i really learnt ALOT. its reallly ultraly alot of a day. made alot of new friends, different perspective and all.enjoyed the company la. its like, we all doing the same thing, persuing a same interest/hobby or whatever u call it.

then bumped into this newsreporter who i heard is not allow or smth. haha. then jeanette, MAS seceteriat did what she needed to do, so i slipped away half way. ahhaha.. after that the reporter interviewed another guy from sp. its just RANDOM k. i feel kinda like.. not worthy la.
coz as u all know, the whole grp of photographers are much better. and like. i cannot hold any candle next to them. not even a melting one.

then we took grp shots. haha. felt wierd. but it was cool. to have someone taking a grp shot of photographers. i hope they send us the softcopy.

ookok.
after we're dismissed, went around with serena, joan, gabriel and met liji. hahaa. so we're toured around, taking more shots and all. coz we're told to take more journalist shots to REP IMF. so yea. COOL huh. then later. met up with gary.. we keep bumping into our fellow photographers.
then later.. went to simlim square to get our stuff. i got my card reader for $23. then they got polarizer, batteries and stuff needed. aaha.
had dinner. chatted and really had a great time over dinner la. hahaha.
then split up. went with gary to esplanade to take photos.

took quite a no. of photos. but more imptly, thanks to him, i get a better idea of AF M Tv ISO Metering... etc and all from gary. i've still got loads to learn and tons to write. ahhaa. we walked from Simlim to esplanade to clark quey, one round and to a bus stop after chinatown. how fars that? haha. probably 2-3 hrs? hahahhahaa. was fun la.

thank u gary .haha
its like all the gary-s in my life saves me. haha. the quek one helped me in my O's and prelims. the goh one for IMF. whats next? guit? hahahaha.



oh my oh my. check out willyfoo's gallary. my co-ordinator. i should start asking him for signature. oh my.



nevertheless. i'm really grateful for being given this opportunity. coz they're far more greater photographers than me and like only a few can be part of this.

through photographer, i really can appreciate God's creation. i mean like. how many of us can wake up and be thankful for the unlimited supply of oxygen and beautiful sunrise u get?


btw. last nite. i had a really freaky creepy scary panicky holly dream.
it was like a the side of a swimming pool. like baptisim setting. then there this person holding another person's both hands to help keep afloat. the later. something black pulled the person(the one being supported) down into the water. sia la. then like beyond recovery. then i'm at the side, kept shouting "come up come up!" then SOMEHOW. SOMEONE from beside or smth, prompted me to use God's authorithy. then i kept shouting "i rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ" *(and mind u, this is not the 1st time that i've said the repeatively in my dreams) and i kept shouting... and all. then the person who is sinking, already submerged, somehow shouted that "i belive, yea i do". almost immediately, he floated up, and pulled himself out of the pool, crawling out. his eyeballs were all back. its freaky for the faint hearted la. my heart was beating hardly. i could feel the beats.
then then. after he caught his breath.. he sort of said smth abt not believing or smth. then almost immediately, he was sucked in back to the pool.. and then.....

MY PHONE RANG.thanks

i tried to go back to slp to continue the dream. but it was the delivery man. so ahha. i woke up.

terrible. i felt so drained and terrible.
its not the first time that "i rebuke u in the name of Jesus Christ" came in my dreams. it's like many times and all was said to protect or save in times of pamdemonium. hohos.


anyways.
BACK to IMF. schedules keep chaning. which means, tmr i'm able to go for rugby. but i missed today's bowling roll-offs. ): i realy duno how. i've spoken to coach. but nxt wk, still same case. fri, sat, sun, mon, tue and mayb wed will be HECTIC. we're being warned of the stress level. ahah.
