sometimes it's just plain wierd, ironic, contridictary, you name it
its like looking that the glowing lamppost, stuck at the fork of the road.
u know that song Runaway by Linkin Park?
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
actually i'm also not sure of myself. perhaps is just listless, lack of 'urgency', lack of the tie? HARS.
Do u really need a shadow to prove a sunshine?
pls'. cuff' me up man.
i just need the Word being so dear.

Life Concert
This is Melanie. AHHA. my ex class chairperson, and 4 yrs classmate and nonsensical friend and caught-in-e-act-of-eating-fried-rice-in-class back in sec2 during chinese lessson. ahhaa. i miss her
went Life Concert with glen... sara had to go for music prac in church. ahha.had a gd time. vocals were superb. musicians were as good. was just awesome. i couldn't feel God's presence in the jumpy songs only on the more meditative songs.
how many times have i broken Your heart
But still You forgive,
if only i ask
the speaker spoke abt Love, Self-worth and Significance, again.. i think i've heard this sharing at the Praise and Worship Session at the Suntec Convention Centre a few months ago.
b4 that, i went back to KC to support the bowling girls. its their last time they gonna bowl for Katong Convent. i guess they've fought their best. but i must say that i'm proud that they're able to pull the Bowling team hard in. haha.what's after the next batch is for God to decide and the girls to work extra harder if they want the bowling team to live on in KC.
anyways.. after Life Concert.. i took some photos using my ex-p700. i guess it feels lonely.. have been neglecting it though. hhahaha. its been a good 3 yrs using it. many ups and downs... lost here and there and all the repairs. ahha... but still.. can make me happy. (:

learn learning learnt
i slpt till 4pm today. haha. i was a little taken aback by the time that i saw on the clock. ahaha. and still, i felt sleepy! thats bad. had trng after that. trng today was gd, just that attendance was low. but i felt happy to wear my boots again. ahha.coz have been trng at astro turf and the last time at the field i wore shoes. dun like the feeling. haha. but i felt that theres simply too much thick grass on the field. haha. Marli was disappointed that we took 1 whole hour to 'perfect' 3 simple drills, 10 set each. ahha.
ytd at D&D, i've learnt quite a bit abt flash. haha. i nv liked using flash until i saw the results. hhaa. ok la. i had some shots.. but i really felt tired after that. ahah. was shooting with gab and suanyang and then we went Prata House to eat. i some how like the last shot alot. hhaha. i was supposed to bounce the flash upwards. but i kinda forgot coz i just shot at portrait. so it bounced to the left. haa. be the results is nice. HAHHA. like studio like that.
here's some photos.. (sorry its abit small. forgot to change the setting. click on it to enlarge if u wish. (: )

here's some photos.. (sorry its abit small. forgot to change the setting. click on it to enlarge if u wish. (: )
i sent in these 3 last night for the TNP photo competition. haha. i braved my tired eyes last night and did a few ps here and there coz the deadline is 29th march. they didn't state the time so i was a little worried. i cant rmbr wad i did though. haha. the categories are as follows: action, scenery and ppl.
i guess ppl should just stop being full of urself and start learning. from where i am, be it in bowling, rugby, photography and whatever not, i see many ppl with many talents and interest. but sometimes i feel that once u're 'there'.. u stop learning as much as u started out. not only that, one would complain how at a disadvantage one is and all.
back at it. ahhaha. its been a wk now, and i realise how petty/childish one maybe. age doesn't seem to correspond to maturity after all though. i was reading this sms u sent me a few months back coz i'm using my mum's old phone which i used during IMF and i was quite pleasantly surprised to recall the gd times we had. haha. after 4yrs in a girls sch, i've seen quite a few petty ones, but not as jialat as u. seriously. plus, u're not a girl. ahhhaha. yup.
i'm not here to bring anyone down coz i'll never do such horrible things like that, but to allow myself to say smth at ur consience.
i mean like, i'm not targeting anyone. but if lets say someone reads my blog, feels guilty all over- meaning that after i say smth, u think its u that i'm referring to and all... does that mean that i'm out to wrongly accuse my friend?
anyway. the wks are passin real quick and april is coming. april fools day wont be spent in sch where we can gang up and do smth foolish to our tchrs like wad we did back in KC. ahha. but anyways, i jsut hope to use the remaining of my wks to do gd for society and accomplish some of my short term goals for the year. HAHA. sounds too technical isn't it?
Dinner and Dance
TP's annual event. just came home and i'm v slpy. this morng went to support the KC bowling girls and had a chat in KC after that, followed by the event all the way. long sia. here are some photos.. i'm just goona post those that i'm proud of w/o any kind of photoshop, coz i'm v v tired...
ok. nvm. i'll just post 3. i'm gg to slp.
ahhah. ok. blogger seems to be having a prob. ok. nvm nite.

bah.
sometimes i feel that i'm out of focus.
i realise, after seeing some of the pics my fellow photogs post on deviant art, that i take very consumer pns kinda shots.
dun ask me how to define pns kinda shots.. but its like.. nothing spectacular. its not abt composition, lighting, nor the 'feel'. its like.. all my life i've been using a standard pns... close to 9yrs b4 i start to move into slr. and i dun mean like pns here occassionally and there. i shoot like wkly.. and if i'm free i really anyhow waste $$ coz it was film last time.
like for the HSBC walk. i realised that i was kinda struggling to produce a photo which had a idea behind it. i know how to compose on the spot. but because of this, i fail to think properly b4 i shoot. i think to simply out it... i'm like shooting jsut to rmbr the scence, the stuff here and there, loosing the essence of the power of photojournalism.
i guess i'll be working on this for quite awhile.
couldnt go for any rugby thing today. today was SAS against acsi. acsi won with 8-5 to penalty. its been a long while singsce SA lost. i hope that they'll make it for the finals.
as for trng. couldn't go too. heard they did the same drills and fitness.
something seems to be missing. and it near to a point of disturbance.

i've travelled thus far.
ok. i've painstakingly blogged and then. some error had to appear. lucky i was like halfway. i'm just gg to post photos now. >:(
101km. HSBC.
from fri 630am till sat 2pm. went for trng on fri from 12-5pm. sat after that went for tap class. at night, bowled tournament. had 194, 172, 188. abt 184 avg. top female. but nothing.. coz overall with the guys, its a 14thi position, no handicap.
i felt like superwomam for a moment..
i thank God for the very very nice taxi driver who helped me carry my 3ball bag up and down the boot. coz if not, i'd have break my back. thank God for such a comforting saviour. hahaha.
basically, NYAA photgs have rendered our services in the name of Charity. this event is for the Pocket Money School Fund and the Physically Disabled. icant rmbr the name of the 2 org.. but these are the 2.
*captions are below for the respective photos.
the route
the walkers. top management of HSBC.
led by the CEO of HSBC.supposedly 21 of them, but i counted 22.
i actually did a seriess of this..
i drank 2 paxs at 1 shot. they had alot of stops like such. after awhile... there werent anymore MILO. but there's red bull!
hahah.
thats how i felt
really.
ambulance lurking by.
everywhere's pur home.
the video crew from HSBC.
good thing it was in the morning.
the first major rest stop and lunch break. haha. at old chua chu kang, cementry.
they had to emerge their legs into these. for 30sec to reduce muscle strain. could hear their squeals and witness their painful expressions.
well taken care of by SSC. i think i saw one of the physio for SA rugby.
leaving the Sungeh Buloh Nature Reserve.
i think the numbers decreased if i'm not wrong.
the dark threatening clouds. really threating. there wasn't shelther. i was with jianmin. ahha. and then it rained. and we RAN to the nearest shelther. this was taken at 6.30pm.
this photo is actually quite funny. coz i actually ATTEMPTED to take pics of lightning coz there was really quite alot. i ALMOST k. i missed it twice. first, i was abt to press (alreay half pressed) then i felt that my lens had water droplets. so i cleaned it. and then. it strucked. 2nd, i same case.. but this time.. jianmin alerted that the bus came. but was full. ): ): ):. aha. was like... oh man. haha. $1000 shot. HAHAHHA.
the heavy rain did not stop their course.
i somehow like this shot. the colours are nice.. like shadow around it. this was taken at Sembawang at 9.15pm. haha. we've walked with them from b4 marsiling.. it felt v long.
ahhaa. was playing with long exposure. this was the road marshall, Raymond. ahha. he's from SP bowling team. ahhaha. suprised to see him there. he recognised me. haha. i rmrb bowling with him during POL-ITE.
we're already at Seletar. saw alot of bikers. was took tired to take shots. the scenery was nice.. ahha. it was quite a long stretch of road though.
ahaha. this is meisy. haha. we're playing with the light sticks. we're at hougang sports hall. 2.45am.
this is probably my shot of the event. note that i didn't bring flash. if my pics are taken 'with flash' its because other photogs were shooting too. ahha. this pic is just lucky. there was 2 flashes b4 i let go of my shutter. according to andass, the 1st flash was his and the 2nd would probably be yuxin's. HAHHA. (: (: thanks.
they were rewarded with a video presentation by the staff of HSBC. really heart warming. hahaha. seeing businessman doing funnny thigns to spur their bosses on.. reminding them not to give up and all.
0620am.
morning sunrise at mcRitchie
tree top walk.
happy girls.
paradise
meisy. hhahah.
and again.
seriouslyy.
Welcom back HOME! it was really joyous.
Champagne! (:
it was really an experience. ahha.there were a few pronbs here and there, but although its really a long walk, its like blink of any eye and its over.
well done photographers. ahha. u've survived the night. ahah. Sam chin is pro. must be the army trng that he's been gg through. ahhaha. (:
well. the balls of my feet are still aching. hahaha. thank God i have today to rest. (: but i really want to thank God. first day, whole time was cloudy and coolin. besides the heavy rain in the evening, it was really cooling. the 2nd day, the sun came out. thats when the walkers realised that they're really blessed on the 1st day. but 2nd day was much shorter so it was easier.
it was really a mental thing for them. as for me, on a personal ground, it was photogrphy that pushed me on. although we did not cover the whole 101km, i guess we're proud of ourselves. ahhaha. (:
