WASTE TIME!!!

Super tired due to sleeping at 6 this morning. Went to watch the "STUPID" match. Both ManChester United and Arsenal were playing so badly. The match seems like Man U 11 people playing against Arsenal goal keeper. What a lousy match. Waste time waste money.

Seems like I am running out of ideas for my work. 2 week plus more to review.

想太多 - 李玖哲

你笑著说
他是朋友
但你眼中太温柔
我的不安
那么沉重
只有你不懂
他霸占了你的心中
属于我的角落
所以你说
我们不是你和我
是我想太多
你总这样说但你却没有真的心疼我
是我想太多我也这样说
这是唯一能安慰我的理由
他霸占了你的心中属于我的角落
所以你说我们不是你和我
是我想太多你总这样说
但你却没有真的心疼我
是我想太多我也这样说
这是唯一能安慰我的理由
我想我没有错怪了什么
虽然你不说或许错在我
太晚我才懂爱了你太多
是我想太多你总这样说
但你却没有真的心疼我
是我想太多我也这样说
这是唯一能安慰我的理由

This song suddenly came back to my mind.

WTF... Wrong again.

OMG... I can't believe I bought the wrong paper again. That's means I have officially just wasted $16.90 again. 2 time in a row I bought the wrong thing and it is so damn expensive. *bang head* Plus I had a 7 bucks nasi brayani this afternoon! How I wish I didn't order it!

This week is a total "waste" week. Waste time waste money. Tuesday lesson was ridiculous. I finish my 2 class at 1pm and the 3rd class only start at 7! Wednesday was worst. When to school and realise that there is no lesson due to planning mistake! Thursday afternoon lesson was cancel, so I decided to use that time to redo my photography. End up I finish at 4 and had to wait till 7 for the next class. Friday afternoon class was at 3. Lecturer thought there is no class and went off. waited for half hour for him to get back to school and start the lesson. So much time wasted!!!

Another week past just at the blink of the eyes. Down to 3 weeks till review. How i hope I didn't taken the video module.

Thinking too much...

School starts again.

"You got great photo but your work is a bit sloppy". That was what my lecturer told me today. This means, more shoot to be done. Should I just redo all the shots? It's really a pain to redo all. More reject for my work.

Skip interactive media lesson today. Reason, simply too tired and didn't want to waste like 6 hour plus outside doing nothing. Rather go home and sleep. Poor planing of the school.

This course is really a sucker for money. Course fees cause a bomb. Buying new laptop + camera is another bomb. The miscellaneous stuff like buying printer ink, paper, printing at the shop will cost another big hole in the pocket. Bought 4 piece of paper for 16+ bucks today just for 1 stupid assignment. Money not enough!

3 weeks and 4 days till review. Time's running out...

When will I stop thinking...

Video done?

Thanks to Miss Jaimie Toi(Lucky for her I was just about to sleep) who called me at 1am, I woke up late this morning. Suppose to reach school and start my video at 11am, end up I left house at 11am and reach at 12pm. After that was work work and more work. Spend like more then one hour to set up the scene and the lighting. The lightings is so damn hard to get. Arghz. Recording was hard too. Keep looking into the lights till almost blinded. Finally finish everything by 4 and went back.

Bought 2 wireless adapter today. 1 for $38 and the other 1 for $48. The $48 was suppose to be for my own use, ended up using the $38 instead as it don't support Vista on my sister new PC. DAMN Vista.

How come I can't get anyone to help me for my photo shoot tomorrow? Everyone seems to be busy man. Hope I will be able to shoot what I want tomorrow...

Tampines 1

Wake up at 9am today, decide not to attend school and went back to sleep again. Tired and no point going school with nothing to show to Stephanie. Wake up at 1145am again wash up and went out with Mum. Went to check out the new mall in Tampines, Tampines 1. The new mall is big and had lot's of shops that can only be found in town previously. The amount of people already there was amazing espically at UniQlo. You need to queue up to get into the shop and then when you want to get something, you need to queue again to pay. The good thing about this new mall is there had increase the number of resturant in Tampines central. Which means more things to eat. BakerzInn, Sushi Teh, Carl's Junior, Subway, Secret Recipe and more. GREAT! With the new mall in line, there isn't much needs to leave Tampines to get what you want. Tampines Mall, Century Square, Tampines 1, Ikea, Giant, Courst MegaStore, what is coming up next?

After visiting the new mall, went to Tan Tock Seng Hospital to visit my grandfather who fainted yesterday. Gosh. Flashback. *sigh*

Lunch was great! Had Kenny Roger. Cheesy Marcoroni is my favourite dish. Man, simply can't have enough of it!

Happy Birthday WeeLoong

Went for a big meal today at Suki Sushi to celebrate Mr Tay WeeLoong's Birthday. Went to meet them at Bugis after school. We actually manage to squeeze into Eric's car and travel from Bugis to Hougang - Eric, Weeloong, Me, Jason, PeiJun and KianHoon. After that painful journey, we ate at Suki Sushi. I their the standard drop like mad. After that, again we loiter around thinking of where to next. We ended up in East Coast park for Weelong to have his "BIRTHDAY CAKE". After messing up the place, we headed to watch the match Liverpool and Chelsea. Liverpool deserve to lose as they played so badly during the second half. Slept at 5am.










HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

I need Ideas...

Another day passed just at the blink of the eye! Time really flies.

I think I got a cursed camera. Haha... The day I lend XingZhi my camera to take picture, it rains. Then when she return to me this morning, it rain again. The camera seems to dislike her.

More editing to be done to most of my work. When will it get approved? The reason I am having so much things to do is because,
1) I am procrastinating
2) My work don't get accepted
3) New assignment is still pouring in
4) Spending so much time in school
With so much factor, how can the work not snowball?

Sometime what you need is just luck and talent, which I seems to have none. Can ideas please strike me?

Next week suppose to be preparation week for review, but seems like I am going to have a super busy week.
Monday = Video shooting
Tuesday = Food and Glass photography
Wednesday = Tutorial with Grada
Thursday = Take out door shoot/ Library
Friday = Portrait shoot

6 more weeks to review date. STRESS MAN.

Confused

What should I do for my video project? I seek advice from a few people, all giving me different solution. How? I am kind of lost now, and I had to finish the shoot by next week with no idea on what to do...

This course seems to be more hard then I can imagine. Sometime I really start to think that I am in the wrong field. Things always turn out to be not as expected.

Great. 1 more worries down thanks to Brenda. She finally agreed to be my model. Hope that the picture will turn out really nice. Haha... Finally i can finalize my shooting dates for my photography.

BRENDA TAN... Thanks so much for willing to be my model. I make sure I take good shot of you so you can use it for you portfolio...

New mouse

OMG. My weekend is ending without much achivement except procrastinating. 6 hour of sleep is simply not enough. Tiring.

Finally I get a new mouse after trying to plug and unplug the mouse for a few month. My computer is always full of problem. Previously, it was the power supply. Then after that, the wireless adapter and finally the mouse join in the fun. So I finally decide to get a new mouse as the plugging and unplugging method stop working.

Giant Supermarket is like my family favorite hangout place. We will be there like for atleast 1 time per week. We simply like to shop for grocery.

XingZhi borrowed my camera today. HAHA. I think there seems to be a curse on my camera. When she wanted to start her shoot, it somehow started to rain. HAHA. And it's always the case for me. IT'S CURSED!

BRENDA! YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO SMS ME!!!

Isomnia

Have you ever wonder why, happy time pass so fast? It's already Sunday and tomorrow is schooling day again... *Sigh* Hope the next week will pass real soon and smoothly.

Woah... 4 more days till the opening of the new shopping mall in Tampines, TAMPINES ONE... When the new mall is up, there is no longer any need to leave Tampines, as all the things can be get here. Hope there will be more good resturant in the mall.

Another boring day. Wake up at 10am, went to grandmother house, eat and slack, went home at 3pm, meet up with Eric, PeiJun and Jason at 6. Eat talk cock till 10 plus 11pm. Meet Junkiat and Siewkoon for supper, went for L4D and then home finally at 3am. Woah...

The blind little boy

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.'

There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words.

He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'

The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.' What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.'

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.

Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling... And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

Quit that game already...

Another long day in school. Friday night are suppose to for supper and hanging out, and stupid class had to be on friday night. Got to thanks Belinda for driving me home. And guess what? L4D again. Trashing defeat against the rest. Good game played! HAHA... And I thought they say time to quit L4D. As usual saying is easy.

Kia Cerato Forte is such a nice and cheap car! The stock version comes with sky roof and the sx version comes with 17" sport rim!

1 more week down! 1 week nearer to review and also 1 week nearer to finishing the course! Really can't wait for that day. Seems like work are still coming in.
WooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaWeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....................

The Starfish Story

Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.

He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"

The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."

"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.

To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."

Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"

At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one."

Self Performance Check

A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and pulled it over to the telephone. He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits. The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation.

The boy asked, "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?

The woman replied, "I already have someone to cut my lawn."

"Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now." replied boy.

The woman responded that she was very satisfied with the person who was presently cutting her lawn.

The little boy found more perseverance and offered, "Lady, I'll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, by Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of North Palm beach, Florida." Again the woman answered in the negative.

With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy and said, "Son... I like your attitude, I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job."

The little boy replied, "No thanks, I was just checking my performance and the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady, I was talking to !"

I want a wide angle lens!

Woah... APRIL! It's already April! Can't believe how fast time really flies! down till 7 weeks till the review date for the course! Time is running out!!!

Change change change and more change! This is like the 4th or 5th time I am going to change my content on my video project. Hope that the new idea will be accepted and I can quickly start on it!

Strange dream I had last night. But this dream make me realize that how long I haven seen MS KAREN ONG! Really miss her so much. So I sms her on my way to school. As usual, it take her moons to reply. Glad that she is still as usual and still teaching. I don't know why when she end the conversation with me, she always end with "be good =)" Do I look that bad? HAHA... Hope to meet up with her real soon.

I want a wide angle lens for my camera! It's so damn expensive! It cost around 500 bucks for a second hand piece. Can someone lend it to me so I can use it for the time being? =)

Tail of Happines

Once there was this kitten that was chasing its tail. It just chased and chased. An older wise cat came along and saw this kitten. The cat watched the kitten for a long time. Finally he asked, "Kitten, why do you chase your tail?" The kitten replied, "Because I will find happiness in my tail." The old cat watched for a while longer and said, "I, too, use to chase my tail because I thought I would find happiness there. But I realized that I didn't need to chase my tail for wherever I went it seemed to follow." And the old cat got up and walked away with his tail wishing behind.

Sometime in life, we just blindly pursuit things that we think that will bring us happiness. However we didn't realize that actually when we do things the way we want it happiness will find us!

Some picture for the pass few weeks

Sunday 22nd March - Changi Airport Terminal 3








Saturday 21st March - Marina Barrage

This is such a good place to take photo. It's a pity that i didn't bring along my camera. I am so going back there to take some picture. It is also very nice place to hang out. Imagine walking around that place with someone you like... HAHA... Romantic... But going there seems to be a problem if you do not have a car, and parking is another problem.





Saturday 21st March - Ben and Jerry

Another great hang out place. Same think in accessible without a car.



Wednesday 4th March - Spicy Chicken at Seletar(Youth Flying Club)

Another in accessible place without a car. The chicken wasn't fantastic, but it's worth a try for the sake of the hot and spiciness.



It's open again!

Okie I know this is stupid. This is actually the 3rd time I am restarting my blog. Lets not talk about what happen previously...

I seriously feel the stress coming in. Went through the check with Stephanie today during class, and I realize that so many things need to be done by 16 may.

Tried finding model for my photography shoot today and had a real hard time to decide and find anyone suitable. After thinking for awhile, i decided to approach Winnie for help. But I totally forget the part where she is working and do not have a fix off date. But she say will try to help. So the 1st choice was kind of out. Then I text belinda, as usual, no reply from her. Then I thought of Qiao E, but she is kind of busy so i drop the idea. Then an idea strike me, YAHUI and BRENDA! I immediately pick up my phone to text both of them. Guess what, of all time, YAHUI is super busy on that week. Luckily Brenda is willing to help me. HAHA...

Brenda's reply when i text her for help was kind of funny. Her 1st reaction was, what photo shoot? Those wear skimpy skimpy kind ar? LOLZ.

Anyway very thankful to Winnie, YaHui and Brenda.
