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 question. Orchard is definitely flooded with people. Everywhere’s crowded! Well, it’s not to say that Vivo will be spared from the influx of last minute shoppers (like ourselves) but at least, the crowd will be dispersed throughout the mall. In fact, there are times where I feel that the Vivo today didn’t feel as crowded.
Okay~ 今日の始めましょう～
It’s been awhile since I had 版面 (bian mian, literally means “board noodles”. Probably because of it’s flat shape) but today, I didn’t have it as well. It looks really yummy right now because I’m feeling a little hungry. :P
The chilli padi that I will never have because they are just too spicy!
It’s a pretty bad idea to get soft drinks from food courts that are slightly classier because this small cup lime costs a whooping 2 bucks! I can get so much from Giant with 2 bucks!! But this is a good photo though, no? Purposely chose the seat to be beside the window so I get the light.
I may be in NS but I still use a camera phone. Take that, bitches!! Okay, I don’t bring this phone to camp because I don’t want to get into trouble (I have another lousy phone for that purpose) so I only use this phone when I’m out of camp. But I don’t use the camera though because it sucks. In fact, I don’t think I’ve taken over 50 shots with this phone ever~ Just love the keypad and color.
And the KING OF UNGLAM strikes again! Don’t be scratching your butt when you’re near me because I might take a picture like the one above and it won’t be pretty. Don’t think anyone would recognize the back of this human being. I hope not… :)
The lens cap for the 50mm is so much smaller than my kit lens and it’s really adorable.
Remember once I posted a photo of the flower structure just in between Vivocity and Harbourfront Centre? I took another photo of it but this time, I couldn’t take the whole structure because the lens is not wide enough but I still love this photo anyway. Colorful~
If you stayed indoors for most of today, then lucky you because the weather wasn’t very nice. It was raining since afternoon and I believe it still is right now and because of that, my father canceled the trip to Chinatown and I don’t get to take more photos. Sadded. But I did managed to capture this photo of a boy playing at the water fountain at the Sky Park despite the terrible weather.

Little boy sitting in a puddle playing with water. So cute~ Unfortunately, this photo isn’t as sharp as I wanted it to be. A challenge I had with this new lens is that it’s autofocus is too slow and I have to do it manually most of the time and sometimes, I don’t do it accurately. Sad. The disadvantage of wearing spectacles because it always get in the way…
Ripples from the rain.
Actually, we were not meant to detour into Toys R Us but we did anyway to satisfy the children inside. Noticed this interesting toy and this is something that I won’t get a child because… It’s wrong! Why is he not wearing pants? Shame shame!!
At Toys R Us, they have this section which features lots of stuffed toys (if you don’t know about this section, shame on you!!) and these colorful seals are on sale! I find the pink one especially cute!! But please don’t get me stuffed toys for my birthday (hint hint) because I seriously, seriously have no space for them.
Walked past the Build-a-Bear shop (if you’re looking for an extremely overpriced teddy, go there~) and saw this bunch of little girls celebrating someone’s birthday. The only girl whose face is shown looks sad though… I wonder why.
Went into Man Project to look at the clothes and I took this photo of the details at the counter. Cool texture, no?
So while walking and minding our own business, this band walked past with drums and all, almost like a circus is coming to town. I have no clue what this publicity stunt is about but if they suddenly start banging on their drums behind me, I will probably die of a heart attack.
Huge Domo-domo!!
Big Wabbit at Harbourfront Center.
Have you seen this?! Have you seen this?! These McDonald’s goodies are shrunk down into miniature decorative straps and each of these are sold at $2.50 each! Sadly, they don’t give it out with meals and that sucks~ I was contemplating on whether to get the set which costs $25 but on second thought, I have no space to display them so oh well~ But they are nice to have, no?
“I’m your biggest fan I’ll follow you until you love me~ Papa~ Paparazzi~” I don’t know who he is but I just took this picture anyway while waiting for my McBistro to arrive. :P Eating alone is lonely…
While I may not have bought any clothes today, since I’ve already did all my shopping last week, I did get something for Maomao; this Kitty-Go-Krazy cat toy! Costs me $48!! Oh well~ Everything for my kitty~ My father was asking me why I keep getting my cat new toys and was nagging at me for not contributing to the Chinese New Year goodies and I rebutted by saying “Why don’t you be my cat?? :P”
Maomao watching his new toy from a distance. This 3-in-1 toy is actually pretty worth it because it’s motor operated and can keep the little prince entertained. There is this ball that makes lots of noises, ranging from bird chirps, a person saying “Kitty kitty~”, meowing sounds, etc. I think it’s a little bit too noisy so I kept it away.
See the dangling black thing? When you switched the toy on, it will start to spin and you can vary the speed and even set a timer for it (I have yet to figure out how though). If you want to watch how Maomao played with this toy, the video is on my facebook so do take a look! The round base is a toy too; with a ball inside that the cat push and roll about but I think the spinning thingie is enough distraction already. There is another stationary toy that can be placed on the base instead of the spinning toy if you want to save battery.
はい。ここまでです。
Sigh~ I have to go back to camp tomorrow and on Monday, I shall go see the medical officer about my condition. Luckily, it isn’t life threatening but that means that my future in the army is really unpredictable now. Can only see what will happen to me next then. :)
Can’t wait for Chinese New Year!! I want to take more photos!!
Vera, Leon, Sheena, Rena, Laura, get your pretty/handsome faces ready for me!! :D
