NEW BLOG: word shutter
Visit my new blog at http://wordshutter.blogspot.com
I wouldn’t say that I’m totally abandoning my tumblr blog but I realized that tumblr is not quite the platform for my blogging style and therefore, I’m moving back to the very first platform I had used some 8 - 9 years ago when I started blogging; blogspot.
If I can, I will still continue to update over here because tumblr...

Making microwave popcorn~
Did y’all see the moon yesterday?! It was huge!!
Like this huge!! Okay~ This is a bad picture because hey~ My lens cannot zoom that far okay~ And on top of that, I didn’t bring my tripod so I should be forgiven for taking such a bad photo of the beautiful celestial stone. But… When you zoom in…
Zoomed at 100%, this is still a pretty decent photo of the moon, no? At...

Lady Gaga - Born This Way (Maxi-Single)
MY VERY FIRST ENGLISH SINGLE… that I bought from HMV!!
I’m very surprised that HMV will actually bring in Lady Gaga’s new single “Born This Way” because from what I know, HMV stopped bringing in English singles. Probably because this song is so marvelous that even HMV cannot resist the temptation of using this maxi-single to earn more income.
I hope they bring in...

K-box with DGDD fatties!!
Second post of the weekend! Shows that I’m really maximizing every single second of these precious 2 days of freedom and human rights.
Yesterday, I went out to sing with my DGDD classmates, who I affectionately call them “fatties” even though they are not corpulent because it’s just funny. Not that I have anything against bigger sized people but it’s just for the fun...

Avril Lavigne - Goodbye Lullaby + Pokemon White
And yes. I’m home again and right now, I’m feel very frustrated because I probably lack of sleep but I’m still going to blog anyway because I don’t want to abandon this space.
Had been rushing the entire evening, getting cat food, ripping the new CD into my laptop, re-downloading iTunes (Apple annoys me to no ends with their endless iTunes updates!), taking photos, doing...

It’s my second attempt trying to blog this entry because an hour ago, tumblr went amok and refused to let me post my entry and because of that, all my hard work of writing and inserting pictures went to waste!!
Shame on you, tumblr!!
But upon receiving news from my friend who also uses tumblr, she said that posting is back to normal and I did a dummy post just now. Yeap. It’s working...

This weekend is short.
Yeap! I have to book in like in an hour or slightly more and I have yet to go bathe and stuff but again, I still want to rush this blog entry out because there’s too much dust collected here already! No thanks to the stupid rehearsal tomorrow morning.
Seriously~ Do you need SPECTATORS to rehearse how to freakin’ CLAP?!
So~ I shall use pictures as much as possible and cut down on the...

誕生日おめでとう、Rini~~
To show y’all people who can’t read Japanese, the title says “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Rini~~” YES!! You learnt something new didn’t you? :)
Yesterday, I was honored to be the photographer of Rini’s birthday party held at SAFRA Mt Faber’s K-box~ I think that SAFRA is a little difficult to access though because it’s stuck somewhere in an isolated area that...

Night by Singapore River
We were too bored yesterday evening and had nowhere to go so we decided to head down to the Singapore River to take photos of the Merlion.
BUT ALAS! The Merlion was CLOSED!! What the hell!! I wasn’t expecting one of Singapore’s main tourist attractions to be barricaded away. I think it could be for maintenance but what bad timing! On a Saturday night…
Apparently, there are...

And to all the blogs that I go to every day without fail, please update something because I want to read something when I’m bored~ I see the same old posts all the time and I get sad. Hint hint!!
Anyway, I...

03. Visiting at my House + Marina ~Lunar New Year~
While waiting for my video to be converted, I shall blog on the third day of the Lunar New Year and fingers crossed… I hope my laptop doesn’t overheat like just now and go amok again.
Normally by Day 3, the students would have returned to school, the working adults will start their mundane orders again but this year, Day 3 is on a Saturday and that means, we get to celebrate a lot...

2. 小姑's house ~Lunar New Year~
And yes! I’m home again on a Wednesday! Good thing I get offs now and then so I can continue to maintain this blog… Otherwise, it would be collecting dust already.
I did promise that I will blog the rest of the Lunar New Year when I get the time and I’m doing so right now, even though I have a whole day worth of pictures left untouched but that’s tomorrow’s problem....
OH NO!!
Yes… OH NO!!
It seems that I do not have enough time to finish blogging everything to do with Lunar New Year. In fact, I think I’m still three entries short! Where on earth am I going to find time to continue posting?
Well, hopefully we get to go home early this week so I can continue working on the remaining posts.
But until then, please be patient!! The photos that are coming up...

1. Visiting on DAY 1 ~Lunar New Year~
Weeee~ I have the whole afternoon to stay at home and blog as much as possible before I meet up with my family in the evening for dinner to celebrate my grandpa’s birthday.
Actually, I doubt that it’s really his real birthday but we’ll still have dinner anyway.
Back to the topic…
Every year on the first day of Lunar New Year, my family would go visiting. It’s...

Tour of FOOD!!
I wonder how much was my calorie intake yesterday because all I could remember was that I had been eating, eating and eating.
I can’t help it though because they were my meals (lunch, dinner and dessert??) but they were just better food as compared to the normal rice and veggies you eat everyday. Can’t blame me right? :P
And besides, I spent less than 30 dollars on food yesterday,...

Korn - Thoughtless & new earphones!!
I’m home!! Actually, I had feelings that I would be home today anyway but it was really a close shave because I was THIS close to staying back in camp due to some things that are honestly none of my concern. But I’m out now!! *dance around madly*
So this afternoon, when we got the news that we can get the hell out of camp, me and my camp mates flee-ed the scene as soon as we could so...

Through the 50mm Looking Glass
For the first outdoor shoot ever with my 50mm lens, I went to Vivocity! Yes I know, AGAIN!! Oh well… You can’t blame me because Singapore is so small so no matter where I go, chances are it will be the same old places.
And besides, we wanted to go look at some clothes and other stuff and Vivo seemed to be the only good place to go too.
Let’s see… Bugis is out of the...

Maomao OVERDRIVE
After waiting for so long, I’ve finally bought this!
The EF 50mm f1.8 II lens; the cheapest lens that ever exist (or at least that’s what I believe). At a price tag for $125, it’s so many times cheaper than other lens. Though the construction and material are not the best, the pictures taken by this lens is not bad~
And of course, I couldn’t wait to try it out! And my...

Shopping with cousins
Eventually, I gave in to the stress of buying new year clothes and went ahead with my cousins (Sheena, Rena, Laura and later in the evening, Leon and Vera, along with some other friends) to get some.
Actually, I was still pretty reluctant to get clothes because I find it a waste of money. CDs are so much more worth it, I feel!! But to spare myself from my father’s nagging, I think spending...

And instead of buying my Chinese New Year clothes, I bought more CDs!! To me, music is more important to me than clothes because it’s not as though I don’t have anything to wear~ So heck about that!! I rather photograph people wearing clothes than be the one buying…
But anyway~ CDs CDs!!
First up, Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream. Honestly, I don’t really like the album...

So… I’ve been planning for my 21st birthday party and I more or less arrived at a theme (which I shall not reveal right now) but exactly how I’m going to hold it, I’m not sure yet.
BUT let’s say I’m going to hold it at a place with a stage and hold a sing-off, featuring my guests, how would you find it?

Well today, I have to book in again and that kinda sucks. But I think I’ve fully utilized my one week break doing everything that I like and I really enjoyed myself very much. I wonder when will I get another break this long for me to relax and rest…

Every child has a place to go where the animals filled with cotton start to dance to the melody so sweet and innocent
When time goes by, the clouds darken and so does the hearts of the angels once light and white

Too much turkey??
Well, this shall be the first post I write using my iPod Touch.
So currently, I’m stuck at Hougang Polyclinic, listening to Britney, waiting for my turn to see the doctor.
Actually, I had no intention of seeing the doctor today because I was meant to go get my hard disk fixed (will still so that in the afternoon) but I woke up at around 8:30am this morning. Probably because I slept...
