Nothing much...

Hey guys...

So yea... Morning nothing much.. Actually... Nothing much throughout the whole day. I spent most of my evening trying to jailbreak my iPod touch and now its done. But I lost my book list... So now I have to recollect titles...

What else.... That's about it I guess... More or less... I'm so ticked off with my mobile broadband... It keeps on disconnecting when I'm using it at night in my mother's room... Hopefully it won't be the case in school. I just paid the bill today as well. In about 5 hours 9 minutes from now, exam results will be released...

I won't be getting a rangefinder anymore though I will be keeping myself in the loop in rangefinder news... Probably will get a digital one if I turn pro, and a film one when digital rangefinders become more common. But for now... No cause I hardly shoot film, as much as I miss it so yea... Digital rangefinders are expensive. But I still have my eyes on the Bessa. Then again, if during NS days really have too much moolah to burn... Probably get a Bessa with a 35mm f1.4 XD.

But at the moment, will be calling Canon tomorrow to check if they can change the focusing screen of my Canon EOS 1n from its current one to split focusing screen and will be getting this lens: http://theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2009/12/just-right------the-voigtlander-ultron-40mm-f2-sl-ii-aspherical-a-long-name-for-a-small-lens-is-to-quote-mike-quoting-sall.html

So yea... That will be a 40mm lens fixed onto my EOS 1n, an interchangeable lens SLR is used an none interchangeable SLR and I sure do hope I turn pro or maybe have too much moolah to spend, then got reason to get myself a Bessa rangefinder. Like my mentor told me, its the photographer that is important, the camera is nothing but a tool. With this in mind, whether I'm using a rangefinder, SLR, compact, medium format, digital or film, I have to always remember that I am the one in charge of how my shots look like. Like a saying I saw "Give a monkey the best camera around, it will still take monkey pictures"

Anyway... I'm gonna sleep soon... Will post more tomorrow. Meeting Krist to borrow his filters tomorrow. I seriously have to invest in a set of filters for myself as well. Currently my list for this year is as follow:

1. DIY Mac
2. Voigtlander lens for Canon
3. Some more photography books (skills, genre and colour management)
4. Filters

That's about it I guess, along with getting my bike license, car probably next year... I sure do miss riding, hope my brother's operation goes smoothly and he has a speedy recover after it so we can go for bike.

That's all for tonight. Stay tune for updates tomorrow. Good night everyone!

100th Post!

Hey guys!!!

So yea... Didn't do much today due to the rain, I didn't get to go out to shoot. And I had Mac with my sister and her friend. Basically I spent my afternoon moving all around the house. I've finally decided not to get the Bessa but instead, to get a cheaper but just as good Olympus 35 SP which I guess I have to buy from ebay in the states.

I got news this afternoon that the entire IT department at school because the paper is a repeat. On the day of exam, a few of us knew, and only now than they realise, what the hell man... So yea.. Rizal and I will be heading back to SP to study again.

I guess that's about it for today.... Pretty boring and nothing much hence the short entry. Good night everyone!

Olympus 35SP

Film Cameras of 1972

Another Day

Hey guys!!!

So yea... I edited a few of Rizal and Fizah's photos, have not gone down to the book list and shooting. Tomorrow will be shooting with 4 film cameras, my Olympus PEN EE2, Olympus OM1, Mamiya M645J and Canon EOS 1n cause I wanna finish using the film and also because I will be selling my Olympus PEN EE2 as well as my OM2n. I will miss them dearly because the PEN is really nice and simple, but I've become accustomed to using complicated cameras and bigger is better for me. The OM2n is my first vintage SLR so yea... These 2 will be the camera to clear the space for my future Voigtlander Bessa R2M.

So other than that... Didn't do much today so today will be pretty short. I'm looking forward to getting the rangefinder and hopefully I can get a good price for sale of the PEN and OM. That will be all for today. Good night everyone!

Getting 120 films again! Finally!

Hey guys!!!

So lets see... This morning woke up and had breakfast and was supposed to meet my "sister" Jia Zhen at 2 but she ended up late, lucky I hadn't left the house and I was watching Ben 10 alien force the final 2 episodes! And finally! The final episodes! The ending was a little anti climatic but the whole episodes were great! Saw ultimate Humungosaur as well as ultimate Swampfire! Can't wait for 23rd of April for the new Ben 10 Ultimate Alien!!!

So yea... I met my sister at City hall close to 3 and we first went to Konota since she wanted to get films for her Diana. And so we got a colour ISO160 film before walking over to Ruby Photo to get myself B&W Ilford ISO400 film, HP5 Plus. And she got a colour flim ISO 400 from Kodak which I hate because of the smell but sadly... I've gotta go back to see the quality if I like it or not. Then we went over to Excelsior to go to Chiff Cameras. First time there and the guy gave her a bag containing a few 120 Lucky films, what the hell right? Lucky for her and she got 2 rolls of Agfa and I saw the Bessa rangefinders and I decided that I should really get 1 XD.

Bessa R2M


So yea... Most probably gonna get that this year or during my NS days. After getting the films, we went to Harvey Norman cause sis was looking for a camera after which we left for the career fair at suntec. It was pretty small and sis applied for a few, hope she gets a job soon. Good luck sis!

And to add! When we were queuing to apply for the career card to enter, sis line went really fast and mine went like a turtle. And turns out... The guy types with his index fingers!!! WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?! You'd think... That practically everyone... Who is like... at least 12 years old? Can type with all 10 digits? Or at least 9 since I personally usually use the thumb for space sometimes but most of the time using index for the space? So yea... My dear sis had to wait for a while.

After that... I was hungry... So we went to Burger King to eat. While sis just ate onion rings, I had tendergrill. When I told the auntie plain... She seemed confused, when I told her I didn't want veggies... The kitchen really prepared it without veggies... Whats the problem? They left the tomato inside which is a fruit... So yea... I had to remove it. After that we went home.

Also... Apparently in Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, we will see old faces from Ben 10, I will so want to see Four Arms vs Manny, XLR8 vs Helen and Heatblast vs Alan. For Pierce... Probably Wildvine since Wildvine can grow spikes like Pierce.

So yea... I didn't do anything that I had planned yesterday so I will do it tomorrow!!! At least I hope.... So yea... Will update more tomorrow. Good night everyone!!!

Ilford and Lucky film!

Ultimatrix!

Speech Day Rehearsals

Hey guys!!!

So yea... Didn't do much except talked to Justina this afternoon, on a side note, Get well soon Justina!!! I went back to Queensway and saw my brother there XD. He keeps telling me that the uniform groups no standard and we end up laughing throughout the entire rehearsal. After the rehearsals, I went to the library to borrow books before walking down to NTUC to buy some stuff home to munch on.

I finally finish doing the basic exposure editing for Rizal and Fizah's photos. Tomorrow will be going out with my dear "sister" Jia Zhen and will be doing post processing on the pictures. I'm also gonna read more on colour management and streamline and update my book list. Like finally actually! So yea... that's about it for today. Don't think I've left anything out. So good night everyone!!!

Continuation from last post

Hey guys!!

So yea... Almost fully recovered, just a little wheezy in the nose but otherwise fine apart from a little muscle ache. I was listening to a song by the band Chicago "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" and another also by Chicago "You're The Inspiration". That set me thinking, what is it I want right now? Honestly speaking, I seem to have lost my goal again but yea... I know what I should do and what I have to do. But that and having a goal is different. Basically the former having no purpose in life while the latter is having a purpose.

So yea... Will be going back to Queensway for rehearsals later and I have no idea what else to do after that. Life has been pretty quiet recently. Only thing I'm doing over the weekend is edit my studio pictures as well as making something which I told Rizal, I'm not gonna post what I told him here in case Fizah knows of this place, hahaha. It's a surprise actually XD.

So I wish everyone reading this in the next few hours a good day and have fun.

On a side note, BEN 10 PREMIERES IN GOD KNOWS HOW MANY HOURS IN USA!!!! GOTTA WAIT TILL SUNDAY FOR DOWNLOADS!!!! SO DAMN EXCITING!!! THE ULTIMATRIX!!!! I know I sound kiddy but hey, I'm young at heart XD

Kopi Session

Hey guys!

This will be a quick update as I'm having the flu and pretty tired. Today didn't do much in the morning and had chippys just now. Had kopi session which was great to see everyone again. That's pretty much it, lol. Congrats to Mark for getting his E-PL1!!! Good night everyone!

Studio today!

Hey guys!!!

Here's an update of what went on today! This afternoon, Rizal, Fizah and I went to take photos in the studio and these are just 4 pictures of the result

I know this is chessy, but it's unlike me so why not?

Ah... The couple, one of my favorite together picture

My favorite Rizal picture

For Fizah, its hard to choose cause only a handful of her solo, hahaha


So after the studio shoot, we went to Funan to eat at Mac and deciding what to do. So while eating, I transferred the pictures as well as edit 1 for Rizal to give to Fizah, after editing and eating, I got Rizal to drag Fizah up to Challenger to distract her while I went down to Harvey Norman to print the picture for him. I wasn't too pleased with the image colour since I forgot to set the proofing for Windows colours instead of Mac's colours. After that printing, I went up to look for them and walked around before going down to Hwa Guan to get prices for my diy Mac and chat with the auntie. The auntie was busy talking to an old man that one of the cables he had was to convert the 4 pin power supply to SATA power connection and he didn't seem to get it. Kinda of typical old man, where its usually the case of "stop the person and tell her person than listen to explanation/s".

After that, we went down to Bugis Illuma to watch a movie, but the only movie close enough is "The Lovely Bones" at 7. So we went to the arcade after getting our tickets and went to the roof top garden to sit and relax. Barely 5 minutes later, the security guard came and chased everyone. I seriously don't get.... What is wrong with sitting there and chill? The place is already quite as hell, hahaha. After that we went to get drinks and Rizal and Fizah got popcorn. My coke didn't reach the top, kinda rip off actually. In the cinema, Rizal and Fizah spilled their popcorn, HAHAHA! And I finished my coke before the movie ended...

A short review on the film. I'm gonna learn to be like Walter from Jeff Dunham, the ventriloquist. Don't watch the movie, it sucks big time and doesn't seem to have a proper story line. Biggest waste of 2 hours and $7.50 ever!

After the movie we left for home. Which pretty much concludes my day. Tomorrow having kopi session, gotta bring the 12-60 for my mentor and 7-14 for uncle Ben. Nothing much to do tomorrow. Hopefully I can find something to do, hahaha. So I shall end here for today. Good night everyone!

Another Boring Day

Hey guys!!!

So yea... Today is pretty much a boring day but some exciting things (to me anyway) were made know, hahaha. So yea... I cut my hair today and seriously look like a dork right now. And I went opposite to buy noodles, then went to 7-11 and some Gan Eng Seng Primary school kids were blocking my way when I wanted to walk in to pay for my coke, so I said sorry, and the boy's answer was very cute. He said something like "It's ok, we should be the one who say sorry since we're the ones blocking your way". Very polite kid, I honestly hopes he grows up the same way.

So yea... I went home and pretty much just watched Power Rangers Operation Overdrive. Then I notice that the sun setting was pretty nice and I grabbed my E-P1 with Zuiko Digital 7-14 lens and went up to the 24th floor to shoot. After shooting a few shots, I realize that it will most likely be better in HDR (High Dynamic Range) and so I went home and took my tripod, E-1 and have the 7-14 attached on it and went back up to shoot 20 frames, 5 shots bracketed.

I came home and edited them getting this which is probably the best out of the 4 sets.



So yea... BEN 10 ALIEN FORCE LEFT WITH 2 EPISODES!!!NOOOO!!!! Anyway... Doesn't matter cause there will be a third series... Ben 10: Evolution!!! Or Ben 10: Ultimate Alien!! I don't know, apparently not 100% confirmed title, but definitely there will be a third series! So yea... There will be new aliens, 2 of which I can remember are Heatwave and Strongtail if I remembered correctly which are basically Big Chill and Humungosaur in their ultimate forms. Gonna be cool since Ben will have the Ultimatrix which is the Omnitrix as seen in Ben 10. Ben 10 third series will premiere in April! WOOHOO!!!

I am sad as well... Cause I have no idea when my DIY Mac will be done, I sure hope soon! So what else... Having Speech day rehearsals over the next few weeks. Sports day next thursday. Speech day on the 16th of April, results on the 31st, school starts on the 12th. So yea... That's about it for today and recent updates! Hopefully my updates will be lesser and more on them coming true. Stay tune for my E-PL1 review happening in mid April when I get the set. Tomorrow or rather... Today, is Rizal and Fizah's anniversary so, Happy Anniversary to the happy couple! May you continue loving each other!

Today I will be doing studio shoot for Rizal and Fizah... Its been awhile since I last stood in a studio and I do miss it. So yea, most likely I can get permission to post here but will have to comfirm, hahaha. Good night everyone and sweet dreams!!!

Queensway Secondary!!!

Hey guys!!!

So yea... Nothing much today. I went back to school for brunch as well as chat with teachers. Found out there's a new award known as partners award. Mrs Wong, my social studies teacher asked me if I could give a motivational talk to the NA and NT students to show that ITE is not as bad as they think. I don't mind doing it if I have the time of course...

So yea... Actually... that's about it, nothing much so shall end here. Short entry... Hahaha.

Good night everyone!

Last day of March holidays!

Hey guys!

So yea... Today I helped Jimmo with his shoot and I accidentally caused the escalator at ION Orchard to stop, hahaha! And yea... I met the model who is apparently Indonesian Chinese with english accent and Shirlene! The make-up artist from before!!

We had lunch at Mac along with Jimmo's wife. Jimmo seems pleased with his shots today. So after the shoot, I took a bus towards Bukit Mearah and dropped at Great World City instead to deposit money. After which I went home and my sister paid for her nail polish. Other than that... Nothing much happened actually.

Tomorrow will be going back to Queensway Secondary for breakfast cum lunch. That's about it. Good night everyone!!

Sunday, March 21, 2010

Yet another day

Hey guys!!!

So yea... I didn't get out to shoot again because of you guys know what again... But I went to Great World City to have lunch with my mother before going to her church to check out the place and I roughly have an idea what I want and what I can shoot already. Though gonna be a little restricted cause of religious events and space constraints so yea...

What else... Nothing much happened today actually... So yea... Tomorrow will be helping Jimmo with a shoot, he says I'm welcome to take my cam to shoot but I'm not in the shooting mode tomorrow so will be just a normal assistant tomorrow carrying my E-P1 shooting the setting up and everything, hahaha!

So yea... I guess that's all for today... Good night everyone!!!

Saturday, March 20, 2010

Another day of the holidays

Hey guys!!!

So yea.... It's been raining so I didn't get to go out today. Rotted pretty much most of the day. Ordered pizza and ate quite a lot actually... Lets see... What else... OH! I sent out my E-mail for my "job application" still no reply, and I sent an E-mail to my primary school and well.... Lets just say the results are very good so I'll leave it at that.

Nothing much happened, it's been a cool windy, rainy day and someone threw biscuit wrappers out of the window and one flew into my room. And there are crumbs which were all over my camera bag and on the floor. Kinda ticked off but have no idea whose is it. I wonder why such people exists in the first place.

So yea... Still waiting for results of exams as well as the scholarship thing. Tomorrow going down to my mother's church to do a location check before helping her cover her church's baptism event. That's pretty much all for today.

Good night everyone!!!

Thursday, March 18, 2010

Rain rain rain... That's all that happened today

Hey guys!!!

So yea... No pictures today cause as the title already said, it just rained throughout the day. And today have been really rather cooling though a little cold at some point. What else? Nothing much happened today. Saw an ad for photography assistant. I wrote an E-mail draft for both the job as a photography assistant and my primary school. Can't wait to send them out tomorrow.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a sunny day so I can go down to Bukit Purmei to shoot! Lets see... What else? Gotta read finish my library books and can't wait to finally build finish my Mac, and pay my bills. Wanna get some new photography books for this year.

So excited cause my mentor, Clifford, is on his way back to Singapore! Apparently for some business, what business? I have absolutely no idea XD. What else? Nothing much already actually. Waiting for exam results, scholarship result, boot up of Mac Pro, school to start, the photography assistant job.... What else... I guess that's about it? So yea... Shall end it there, hope tomorrow will have good weather! Good night and take care everyone!

One step closer to my DIY Mac!

Hey guys!!!

So yea.... It is now like... 2:09am? And I'm currently waiting for my computer to scan finish so I can install Photoshop CS3 and Premiere CS4... Stupid viruses... ANYWAY!!! I've installed the motherboard and boy oh boy! It is beautiful! And yea... Wires all all over the place and apparently only I can tell where goes where. HAHAHA!

And also... I had chippys (correct spelling) this afternoon! And I dropped by Valley Point with intention of going to Olympus to pass the batteries but I met Amos who's having his lunch at that time, pretty late for lunch actually but apparently he's busy so yea... I just passed it to him and chat with him for awhile before going home. That's when something really ticked me off.. I waited for the bus for like... 5 minutes before thinking to myself "Hmm.... Been some time since I last drank chocolate ice blended from Starbucks" so I decided to head down to Starbucks and get one and I learnt something... Never have chocolate chips thrown in... It sucks big time! To me anyway...

So I walked back to the bus stop and took a sit. I thought there was only me at the bus stop but there were actually 2 bags on a chair... A pink one and a black one if I remembered correctly... And so I sat there thinking to myself... "What the hell are 2 bags doing there? And where in the f***ing world are their owners?". I looked up a bit more and there they were, a guy and a girl, a white dude and an Asian girl (most likely Philippino) making out... And throughout the time I was waiting for bus, despite other people walking past, they kept at it throughout. I seriously was ticked off to the point I felt like shouting "HEY!!! GET A ROOM WILL YA?!?!??!" But I ended up shutting my trap as I was drinking my ice blended chocolate and I seriously can't be bothered as well. In the sense half of me is ticked off and the other half is simply being a "forget it" person.

Anyway!!! I took a pretty long time to install and get my desktop up and running and I guess it's still scanning now... And I installed my motherboard and plugged in everything... The rest should be a piece of cake to install! So tomorrow most likely I'll be going down to Bukit Purmei to shoot... Been a long time since I last went there...

That's pretty much for today. To end my entry, I just realize not too long ago today... That the colours on my Macbook look better. Not sure is it Mac OS or Windows OS fault or is it the fact that my Macbook uses LED to light up the screen. And also! My tagboard is a little dead. Would be nice to have you comment once in a while. Appreciated!

So yea... GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!!

Irritating morning

Hey guys!

So yea... Again I forgot to blog yesterday so doing it now... Besides, didn't do much yesterday, was either at my computer or at the TV... Currently trying to get my desktop to work but apparently there is some bad registry or something that is preventing the computer from booting up.... What a "great" way to start the morning after my "great" grandmother made a lot of noise talking to my mother about my sister's boyfriend and in the process woke me up...

Later will be going to get my motherboard since I've nothing to do so yea... Just called auntie at Hwa Guan to ask about the price for the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 and the price is apparently the same as Intel Core 2 Quad Core Q8400 with the difference being the former is 6MB cache and 3.0GHz and the latter being 3MB cache and 2.66GHz if I'm not wrong... So yea... I guess I shall stick to my Core 2 Duo instead. Since my DIY Mac will run fast regardless of 2 cores or 4 cores. My windows part however... Since I do not multitask that much, I'd rather the processing speed.

Currently doing a system restore but I've kinda lost all hope... So most likely I'm gonna head out to Sim Lim square after breakfast/lunch and get my motherboard before returning to Raffles Shopping center to buy chippies however you spell it before heading home. But gonna give Amos a call before hand to see if I return the batteries from IT fair to Olympus or to Bally photo.

That's all for now, shall update more tonight... If I remember to of course XD.

Have a good day everyone!

Monday, March 15, 2010

What a quick monday

Hey guys!

So yea... Forgot to update last night but nothing much happened anyway. Today I wanted to go out but was kinda too lazy to do so and Yusuf came over to my place to fix his Macbook pro which his friend gave to him. Good right? But it's an old model but still pretty good and more or less can even compete with my Macbook White, what the hell right?

Worse thing is... It cannot install Mac OS X!!! Even though I've formatted the whole damn thing correctly! So instead... We just left it at Windows 7 but he's pretty much happy since he's more used to Windows rather than OX X. So installed Command And Conquer Generals and Zero Hour for him as well as Microsoft Office and standard anti-virux.

While installing the OS onto the mac and we played Gundam Seed Desinty OMNI VS ZAFT II Plus and well... I win pretty often and kill steal quite often but Yusuf himself isn't that bad either. After he left, didn't do much and Melissa Goh added me on Facebook and I was actually wondering who was she, hahaha.

She sure has gotten prettier though and now doing her degree in Brisbane, Australia. Lijuan called me to talk to me about work to. I really feel sad for her and I sure hope she's fine.

Anyway! Pretty excited about building my DIY Mac and I wonder what is my profession in the future. Photographer? IT Techie? I honestly have no idea, both maybe? Whatever the case is, only time will tell...

Tomorrow is a Tuesday, probably will catch a movie or maybe not. But gotta remember to call the studio to book it. I guess that's about it for today. Nothing much during the holidays so yea... Ah well... Can't wait to finish building my DIY Mac. Good night everyone!

Sunday, March 14, 2010

End of the week

Hey guys!!!

So yea... I can blog cause I'm not working today and using my Macbook to do so now. And I've just removed the rubber skin... So now my Macbook is more or less without any form of protection and I sure hope it'll survive... Stupid skin, making it such a pain in the butt to type...

Anyway, day 2 of IT fair I sold 5 sets and 3rd day I sold 1, pretty pathetic, probably the most pathetic at IT fair. So today, didn't work. Right now resting... Gonna be searching for the Gigabyte EP45T-UD3LR price before eating my breakfast/lunch and going down to Sim Lim to pick up the motherboard so that I can install since that is the most troublesome part to install. That's all for now, more updates tonight as well as installing the programs on my Macbook. Good day everyone!!!

Friday, March 12, 2010

IT Fair, Day 1!

Hey guys!

IT FAIR IS NUTS!!! OMG!!!! Luckily I hate going out XD. Not many people in the afternoon but a quite a lot at night, gonna be like this till sun with sun being the worse! And so yea... Nothing much, met pretty much the same kind of people I've met when I was working at Harvey Norman. I got my Macbook too! Reason being Apple cannot let me change my hard disk unless I purchase online which means one shot pay all -_-||.

I can change myself anyway, thanks a lot Apple! And nothing much, made 3 sales on my own today, 1 from Amos and 1 from Ivan. Hopefully tomorrow sale will be better. Justina dropped by with her friends and thanks for helping me get the pen!

That's all for today... Really shag so good night everyone!!!

And to Hui En's brother, get well soon. To Vivian, congrats on your new job! To Justina, thanks for getting me the pen!

The goods!


The unboxing!


The Macbook!



Special thanks to my mum for helping me pay the Macbook by installment!

End of exams and Happy Birthday Nyiyaz!!!

Alrighty!!! So first off! Happy Birthday Nyiyaz!

Finally! Exams are over and surprisingly, the networking paper wasn't as hard as I expected but it sure hell wasn't easy either! So tomorrow I gotta get up at 8, have breakfast and go to work! But tomorrow is the day my mother order my Macbook white!

Today Rizal and I watched Dear John! Not too bad actually. I sent in my Metz for repair, and it might have to be sent to Germany for repairs -_-|| but ah well...

So yea! I saw some pictures taken by Leica cameras and boy.... They make people drool! Seriously!!!

Hahaha, anyway, I'm tired and got work tomorrow so more updates tomorrow. Good night everyone!

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

Quick update

Hey guys!

So yea! Currently as SP settling down before starting to study. Quick update! I might have my entire Hackintosh up and running by May as turns out, I need not buy the EFI-x chip thanks to a guy who has made everything easy. Gonna go work soon at IT fair, 2 days time, my mum will be going down to IT fair to help me order my Macbook. Exam yesterday was the same as last year Sept exam so what the hell. I lost about 15 marks but more or less capable of getting at least a C, a B is even possible actually. That's about if for not.

Off to study for my final paper tomorrow. Good luck to everyone who is still having their exams!!!

Sunday, March 7, 2010

Happy Birthday Rizal!! And my sister!

So Yea! Firstly, Happy Birthday to Rizal and my dear (irritating as well) sister!

And on to update! Nothing much, just studied studied studied over the past week and today I went down to Sim Lim Square to get my parts for my DIY Mac Pro.

Cooler Master Real Power GX 550, LG DVD-RW Drive SATA,Cooler Master 120mm Blue LED Fan and Cooler Master 140mm Blue LED Fans


And this is the result after installation, never show the front


As you can see, there is nothing inside!!! But at least its on the way and most probably, if sales are good at IT fair, it should boot up in April, without Mac OS X which might be in June after saving money and planning to go over to KL. I'm excited to have my system boot up!

So yea, tomorrow is computing maths and on Wednesday is Network Security, good luck everyone! Wednesday catching a movie with Rizal and probably Fizah, not confirmed yet. Sending my Metz 45 CL-1 for repairs on Wednesday. I'm working at Olympus at IT Fair 2010! So come down and visit me if you're free! Studio shoot on 24th March with Rizal and Fizah which is also their, ermm.. not sure how many month anniversary. And got to contact my dear cousin for a shoot too. Queensway Speech day and sports day in April and have to shoot my mother's church baptism event.

That's all I can think of. Will update real soon! After my exams an entry and probably won't be blogging during IT fair as I will be pooped! Also! My Macbook is official and will be coming very soon! SO EXCITED ABOUT IT!!! And gotta get a case to protect the exterior!

That should be all I guess? And to end it, an unglam picture of Rizal drinking ice lemon tea to show what we ate when we studied the other day!

Wednesday, March 3, 2010

Study study study...

Hey guys!!!

So year.... Nothing much, been studying cause exams are next week and nothing much to type since basically my life has been 1 word.

STUDYING!

Anyway... I just finished talking with Chong Min about choosing a camera... Haha! Seriously... It just reminds me (Not referring to Chong Min if you do find my blog somehow) that a lot of people really have very weird reasons for choosing a camera. But at the same time, I salute the people who have potential!!!

I'm too tired to rant... LOL! Anyway... I'm off to sleep, got to do phase test tomorrow in school and skipping maths to go home to rest before studying in the afternoon with Rizal.

Quick summarized update, studied, met Kirst today to take back my memory cards. That's about it so yea.... GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!!!

Monday, March 1, 2010

3 Days of entry

Hey guys!!!

So yea... Sorry haven't been able to type.... "Today, I found out that my blog is written for many people, but only 1 reads it. How did I find out? He sat opposite me and asked me why I never update my blog. FML"

Ok... That was lame... But seriously, I wonder how many people actually read my blog. Either way, on Friday we had programming, Rizal and I are almost done with it and after that we went back to my place to get my cameras before running down to Botanic Gardens to do location shoot for my March photoshoot with my "cousin" and after that, we took a bus down to Bugis to go to Sim Lim Square to get my chassis, my NZXT M59 (which is super sleek and super cool as well as SUPER HEAVY! Not really, 6.5KG, but hold long enough, it eventually becomes heavier). That's pretty much it. OH! I also changed my controller and its been working fine all week long! Even tested it playing Prince Of Persia Warrior Within on my desktop!

Saturday was a day well spent in my opinion. I did nothing! In the morning that is. But in the evening, I covered a Make A Wish Foundation event with Krist, my photography kaki. The event was for a boy name Azfar who's wish is to be a Rockstar. The foundation makes the wish of terminally ill children come true. As far as I understand, google it for more info!!! It was really nice to see him actually live his dream but sad as he might not have a chance to live though everyone is doing what they can to help.

Sunday was probably the most fruitful day I've done in recent times. I rearranged the files on my computer in preparation for my new DIY PC to start up. Since I will be using the files from my old hard disk as well as a old hard disk in it on my new DIY PC. I've also decided to get my system running as soon as I have enough parts to boot up Windows 7. Meaning that I will not be getting 2 hard disk for Mac OS X, and the storage cum middle hard disk as well as the EFI-X chip so as to free space in my room. However, when I have the cash to get those remaining parts. The day before I leave for KL, I'll go get my 2 hard disk and the next day will be going up to KL to meet my "bro" and "sis" as well as getting my part, returning back to Singapore at like, 3 in the morning, plugging in the chip and SLEEP! The next day installing Mac OS X which I will get the same day I get the hard disk.

Doing that would mean that I save space and get my sister to shut up about letting her play The Sims on my PC.

That's about it, hopefully will update more tonight, if I'm not tired/busy or sleepy, good day everyone!!!
