13 octobre boyzone in my lifeit was a shock to hear about stephen gately's death yesterday..
the blind performer at the mrt station was singing "Words" when i passed by yesterday..
i was never a fan of boyzone back then but they do have some nice hits. I like "Picture of You"..
the biggest boyzone fan i know is the other sc. but her fav is not ronan, and not even stephen! she liked shane haha.. wonder if she still likes them now..
once, in a rare English singing competition during Form 2, we even took part and the song we chose was Boyzone's "Love Me For A Reason". who were we? haha.. me, frog, tan and ly.. we agreed on wearing black and somehow i did not hv a black top and borrowed one from ly. crazy..
i forgot who won the group competition but the solo winner surely went to eilyn.. her song was Celine Dion's "The Power of the Dream"... i still remember lesley sang Mariah Carey's "Hero"
 walao, the songs reflect my age!anyway, quoting from Dilbert:
"Life is unsure; always eat your dessert first."
so treasure the present!
fn: i woke up reluctantly this morning, thinking: why is it only tuesday! 9 octobre mikaa long break results pretty badly. i forgot how to insert pictures into a post haha..
anyway, mika is the name i randomly give to my new camera
 its official name is vivitar ultra wide and slim. well, mika is easier to type than vivitar or katrina or molly or whatever!after for like 2 years, i finally got my first 'lomo' camera. the parentheses is because the camera i got is not exactly a lomo camera, but it does produce lomo-like effects haha.. it's a cheap plastic camera.
oh yeah.. a picture of mika haha.
 mika: hello!
i bought mika online from another gal.. but before that, phew.. the trouble i went through!
i asked a few overseas frens to help me get them, either locally or through their ebays. numerous bumps!
i went to those old shops at larkin to see if they stocked any model that i want but they had none. suggested me to go to those small small towns and try my luck. of course, which other small town would be more perfect than parit raja? hahaha..
so i got off at parit raja on my way back to bp and went camera-hunting! i tried all possible shops, from camera shops to those shops selling chapalang stuff, but none had the model i was looking for!
luckily 皇天不负苦心人, i landed my hands on one after bout 2 months!
there was so much to do before i can get mika up and running. buying film, learning how to load the film, learning how to shoot a picture, things to note, and also steps to unload the film! google and youtube are amazing!
 here's a comparison of the pics taken at bali from my digital camera, sony t20 and pics from mika.
of course, sample failure..
 underexposed shot from bangkok...
the novelty of shooting in film is indescribable. you dun get to review the picture you took instantly, so u wun know how your picture will turn out.. haha, also the action of winding the wheel to move to the next frame produces the tiak-tiak-tiak sound, which my sis kept making fun of! ah.. and the joy of peering through the viewfinder! i got a bit confused between the digital and mika after that
  this is my fav picture from bali
 this one got more votes though... which do you prefer?
of course, shooting in film has its disadvantages.
no 1. you have to finish the whole roll before u get to see the pics.
no 2. developing cost an arm and a leg.
no 3. the pictures dun have the resolution offered by digital camera, which i'd like to have sometimes.. oooo, but the vignetting!
no 4. no auto-timer!
no 5. ppl think you are crazy.
but anything vintage always fascinate me! the artistic/fashion shots taken with a lomo camera are amazing.. but i really bu she de! on average, a picture costs bout 50cents! and that's soft copy still. you dun even have the physical picture! so most of the time, i'd rather have someone's face in them haha..
the next film camera i wanna buy...
 a golden half
 or a Supersampler!
that is, after i get a proper digital camera first! my t20 is a bit moody these days haha.. of course. there's still the compact vs dslr fight.. hmm..  8 octobre today, i am listening to:black eyed peas - i gotta feeling.... good good night
OST from the korean Boys Before Flower - love these two -> What Should I Do from Jisun and Love U from HowL
some song called 桂花巷
some tracks from ABBA
latest album from david tao, a bit disappointing. i only (rather) like 你的歌
latest album from sodagreen. love!
 favs are 蝉想 and 近未来!that song from the tvb show.. haha. christine glass' 'my love will get you home'
and finally, latest album from fangdatong. um.. striking it off soon hahaha.
some time back, saw this movie on tv.
 really nice, it's something like Love Actually.. all the characters are somehow connected to each other but have their separate love chapters.. i like the female lead (upper right pic). not the typical pretty face but i find her very beautiful. and the soundtrack is good too!
hmm.. and inglorious basterds was also damn nice!
short post to start things off.. next, will be introducing my new passion, mika.
haha, mika = my new camera la... 29 juin 30th june, important!despite not updating often, i find that i'm actually in the blogging mode most of the time. sometimes i think in the way of how i would word it here. especially when i'm walking or showering!
living without a proper phone for the last few weeks had been a nightmare. all contacts gone, important dates got forgotten and i had to write down notes on a piece of A4 paper and carry it about! pathetic..
 was also reminded of how we used to play 'miss call' back in the hostel. crazy!
but due to the loss, i've established my brain can still remember quite a few numbers. to date, i can remember 11 singaporean numbers hahaha. i still have a wonderful collection of malaysian numbers in my head. now, that is memory degeneration!
when i get a proper phone, then send me your numbers k!
 sent in this picture to the star some time back. not to mention winning the rm50, we didn't even got it published
 with all the flights going on sale all the time, i get very frustrated cuz i get pushed to confirm my schedule and to date, i've never enjoyed any offer! why? because i'm too lazy to make instant plans and i'm unsure of my schedule months ahead. and i can't fly as i wish. else i might fail a subject and extend another year of study hahaa.. to solve this, i've printed out a monthly calendar until june 2010! yes! i discovered that i actually like macau a lot. can fly from penang rm131.. crazy!
 speaking of cheap, i bought these two for 5 dollars hahahaa..
recognizing people has always been one of my weaknesses. but i think this gal i see sometimes on the bus is the model of a blogshop i sometimes visit!
and the most bizarre of all? been reading Niamah!!! for ages and yesterday, relevation suddenly hit me. the guy who's always seen in channel 5's shows is him! i can't believe myself -______-
30th june.. in 1.5 hours! 21 mai premonition of me!you know how sometimes you are doing some things for some reasons which you yourself can't explain? it's not deliberate but your mind/heart just tells you to do so.
the other day, i went windsurfing. i fared so much better! of course, depending on wind conditions haha. anyway, there wasn't much wind that day but i still managed to get myself bout 500m away from shore hahahaha.. i feel proud!
that is until i discovered i had problem getting back to shore. got a bit worried. looked around and still see quite some people. so i sailed on and enjoyed the wind..
soon, i got scared. so i stopped a guy nearby and asked for his help. haha, we both jumped into the water and dragged our boards to have a chat in the middle of the sea. when he told me his name is fabio, i showed him my maldini shirt, which i happened to had on hehe!
so, fabio was teaching me how to return to shore.. then we heard the motor from the rescue powerboat. the uncle approached us and asked if we had problem heading back, as the wind direction was making it difficult. so i got on the boat thankfully and thanked fabio, who was fine with making his own way back.
uncle picked up another guy and we headed back.
i asked him if he was gonna drop us right at the shore. he said yes.
i asked if he could drop me some distance away, so that i can try to sail back myself. he said best if not, in case he had to rescue me again.
i thought about it for a while.
and asked again. he said there were still many others he had to rescue today.
so i shut up.
when we neared the shore, i thanked the uncle and got myself out. once he was off to rescue his next load, i got stung.
by a stupid jellyfish!
i told you to drop me some distance away!
why didn't you listen to me?
 anyway, the pain from the sting went off after a few hours. when i think back of how i panicked, haha, so embarassing.. 9 mai bits and piecesafter my super long break, was finally back to work on Tuesday. the night before, i specially arranged for morning calls and set 3 alarms.
-- i woke up at almost 9am the next day. the stupid phone went dead middle of the night! so much for my starting work on a good note
 my colleague was so funny.. he put a few pens/pencils between his fingers and clenched his fist.. he then asked me, "wanna watch this?"
 hahaha.. wolverine!
i had fish head steamboat on monday night. on wednesday night, i had the same thing again! but at a different outlet. now only i know the whampoa keng has more than one shop, cuz i always go to the same one at balestier.. and i realized i'm eating normally again!
 yes, i'm loving food all over again haha. recently realized how scary fatigue and stress can be. and i found another strawberry chocolate! meiji's.. nice! love their milk too..
did a most embarrassing thing yesterday. not wanting to be (too) late for dinner, i decided to splurge a bit and take a cab.
so i flagged a cab and the moment it stopped, i felt something was wrong already..
that cab was big, posh and spelled royalty!
what to do, the cab already stopped.. so i got on. and asked the driver,
"are you very expensive?"
haha.. and this became the joke of the dinner man.. the driver actually said yes and i dunno whether he asked if i wanted to get off or if i asked whether it was okay for me to get off. anyway, i got off and within moments, my bus arrived hehe.
today i found out, it was a Chrysler Cab, the king of all limousine cabs!
i must put a picture to show you how grand the Chrysler Cab is!
it has a flag-down rate of 5 dollars! luckily i got off! so stop laughing at me already! last i checked, i wasn't on youtube yet hehehe..
my life is no longer complete without facebook! all the updates are in facebook these days. i'm totally unaware of all the happenings! so outdated! sigh, the other day i forgot how to log in to skype.. maybe my msn also rusty from lack of use hahaha..
there was an accident at my place some nights ago.. a gal lost control of her bike and crashed.. luckily she got flung onto grass and was wearing a helmet. thankfully, there wasn't any blood.. anyway, when i wanted to call a ambulance, then i realized i dunno the number haha.
i want a dslr too. seriously thinking to get one now.. everyone around me seems to have one! i love the focus of a dslr! did not take any photos during simon's wedding cuz my beloved sony flew off to australia.. i did loan a lumix but reli no semangat to learn the camera's operation! a bit tricky for my liking.. maybe i should borrow a dslr to play around a bit, see whether it's suitable or not before making the investment hahaha.. seems a bit inconvenient though. hmm... 13 avril is mesometimes i do a search for an old japanese anime.
 cinderella monogatari
i watched this series during my high school days and love it a lot! but because it's so old, it's so difficult to find a copy
 i've created a google alert for it, so hopefully someday i'll get my hands on it! although there are times when i feel the need to take some pictures, self-consciousness always triumphed over the intent. i'm still not able to handle the question, "like this also have to take picture ar?" question. haha.. end up i have to do some google image search to illustrate the incidents below.
i've been spending my weekend trying to finish a group project. went over to a projectmate's office to work on it and they have this kind of drinking water pot at their place..
i miss this kind of pot! my primary school tuition teacher, miss ng, has one of these at her place and she used to remark that we drink a lot of water at her place, maybe her water is sweeter. i think it's the container! hers is the chinese white-blue style and the one i encountered lately is a chinese flower-y one. i'm gonna get one of those!
talking about the project, we pia until 4am.. no kidding. even ordered a mcdelivery at 2am haha. tough tough, but at least we're 90% done now
 crashed a bbq the other day, and i was so amazed with the creativity of the bbq pit! they used those large kedai runcit biscuit tins! didn't have time to take a picture as we were famished! when my stomach was finally pacified, the pit was already dismantled..
in order to share this great way of building a bbq pit, i tried to search for some images of that method, but even finding a pic of the kedai runcit biscuit tin (anyone understand what i'm saying here? haha) yields no results. so i did some crude illustration la..
  awesome bbq setup good onot?! the kedai runcit biscuit tin has an opening large enough for you to arrange your coal yet can confine all the coal and the ashes remain inside! the flame will also not get to your food and yet the heat will be transmitted to the wire mesh. so clever!
tiba-tiba, saya teringatkan untuk menggunakan bahasa malaysia dan menjalankan pencarian imej Google dengan 'tin biskut'. Dalam sesaat,
 i've got my kedai runcit biscuit tin! photo credit
hahaha.. *personal emotions that are too difficult to put into words*
 another pic of the tins.. photo credit
i used to get a few different kinds of biscuits from the shop at tanjong laboh there. there are so many types to choose from!
question: what do you call a jambu air in english? rose apple 8 avril my new favorite weather is rainya long absence. too much going on. dunno where to start so whatever pops up in my head!
i have taken my first mc in feb 2009 and second mc in march 2009.
there are so many nice ppl around! when i feel depressed, stressed and lost, i'm so glad for the advices and comfort i'm getting. thank you for the opportunities and patience and time!
taken up windsurfing and loving it to bits. okay, maybe not. haha..
i did not care bout the afternoon sun or the jumbo-sized raindrops at all. sailing in the wind was fun, that is when i was standing on my board and not struggling to hoist the sail up. falling into the water was also fun! when i was tired, i just lie on my board for a short while and bobbed in the sea aimlessly.. so relaxing! but the paddling part afterwards is pure torture haha.
i've lost touch with 'keeping in touch' for the longest while. i can't recall the last time i chatted on msn. now that my kl colleague has transferred to sg, i no longer on my skype. as for calls and smses, my mind is in such a whirl these days then i forgot to even send birthday wishes to a few great friends. it was there on my mind the whole day but i just keep forgetting.
i reli feel disheartened to get to work these days. hv to drag myself out of bed every weekday morning. why are there only 2 days of weekend in a week? ping said that's the million-dollar question haha..
i wanna be like mayday's 离开地球表面 but then the email forwarded by kin said that happiness is a voyage, not a destination. so whenever the need arises, i will think of happy thoughts. my happy thoughts? a giant (usually rock) block spelling the letters H A P P Y haha. and i'm always viewing it from Y's end. subconsciously telling myself that i gotta return to the start to be happy?
so many plans for holidays but none have been confirmed. i just reli can't find the energy to do it. in the past i would say because i'm lazy but i'm usually very enthu when it comes to making holiday plans. now i'm just like a changed person. reli dunno what's come over me.
my tinnitus condition worsen some days. the 'eeeeeeeeeeeee' ringing is very evident.
'i've started to go for a jog after my monday class'. that sentence expired. now no longer running haha. but the swim the other day was awesome!
i rarely finish up my food these days.
i wish the month of march 2009 can be deleted from my memory.
good friday holiday this friday, but scheduled to work on our group project. => find trouble
was thinking of watching shinjuku incident in malaysia but apparently the original version's conversation is also in mandarin, so no point la. apparently singapore's version has more uncensored scenes haha. i think i wanna watch the 'handsome suit' show too.. and looking forward to disney's new cartoon UP. the uncle's got a square face, so funny!
all things apart, i feel better already!
totally pointless post haha  5 mars update: good lobang for all! reviewed eoe online on tuesday and the photos arrived this morning! is that fast or what?! my mama said the photos turned out great. can't wait to get my hands on them! now reli have an impulse to go through all those photos in My Pictures and send more for printing. and i'm sure my ahma will appreciate all the hard copies! um, maybe i can send a package addressed to her hahaha. wish their promotion will be extended further to give me more time though hahaha.. note: 4R for 30cents and 5R for 50cents promotion ends 31st march! reliable, high quality and prompt service, all very good! thanks a lot eoe Online! faster visit eoe Online now! |
