So yea... I somehow feel that its an unlucky year for me, today, I dropped my bag and my filter broke. I'm like "OH MY GOD! MY FILTER BROKE!?!?!? ITS GONNA MAKE ME BROKE!" and true enough I am broke. Gotta start saving again...
So today I caught Gulliver's Travels with the lead being Jack Black. It wasn't too bad a movie but it was funny. I watched it with my student Zheng Yan! We met at Harbor Front MRT before going to get tickets. But there was a lot of people. Honestly... I thought it'd be quiet, but then again, come to think of it at this moment, it is the eve of Christmas eve so why would it be quiet? So we went to the GV version of AXS machine and got ticket.
Here's the funny thing, the machine is standing near the entrance, all alone, without anyone to love it(that's just rubbish, the love part) and then looking at the box office, its like, a riot could just start anytime. So Zheng Yan and I walked there and bought our tickets, easy as pie. Except there wasn't much place and we ended up between the center and side on the 2nd row from the front.
So we went walking about. We went to Challenger so I could get a hard disk for my desktop (more on this later). We were looking and for some reason, the selection didn't seem complete, because there was more inside, and I was standing there thinking "where are all the 1 terabyte hard drives?" because at the entrance, they were mainly 1.5 teras or 2 teras though HP did have a 1 tera though I don't trust it. So I went in and found a Free Agent GoFlex desk hard drive that is 1 tera. For $125 bucks, more expensive than the HP by like 40 bucks but knowing its Seagate makes me feel better.
We went into Pageone book shop so I can have a look at books I could buy and I saw it... Mastering Digital Panoramic Photography, the book that I've been considering to get to learn pano photography. I didn't really browse through the right way but was a very quick browse through, and I might be getting Lee Frost's Panoramic Photography which is mainly film but contains digital. I like variety and learning from more is better. But of course! I'm still looking around before I buy.
So we went for the movie, after which we went to Macdonalds for a drink before we left for the city where Zheng Yan is meeting his friends for dinner and I'm buying a new filter. After which I got home. So here are my goods!
I feel sad that my filter broke, but ah well, my camera dropped in my bag as well, but so far, both my E-1 and 14-54 (which are the camera and lens I dropped) are working fine. New filter has been installed as well. Though for some reason, the auto focus beep sounds off to me, but not a big deal.
Also... Zheng Yan's lens seem to be broken, it can focus at the 18mm end as well as the 55mm end but not anything in between. Weird eh? I also had a hard time teaching Zheng Yan what is crop factor -.-". BUT! I'll go through with him again once I put together a power point, its easier to understand. Or at least... I hope...
Okay... So why did I get a hard disk? Recently, my mother accidentally kicked my computer, which a few days later, which is also yesterday, I keep hearing noises... At first I thought it was my wiring which I went through 3 separate times but my wireless are spaced so it can't be the wire touching the fan. So I decided that it could be the hard disk having problem. Not wanting to lose my data and having to find all of it again in various ways, I decided to get an external hard disk to backup my data of which currently, I've backed up 215GB worth of data. Tomorrow I'll be continuing.
Before I wrote today's entry, I was looking at the date, then the day, and realized that its Friday and I wonder what did I do the past 2 days, it is only now that I realize that this entry is meant for Thursday and Wednesday was spent at home doing nothing much. Silly me... So its Christmas eve today! As in now, at this moment that I'm typing, 1:01AM! Tomorrow is Christmas day and I have no idea what to do. Either way, I'm going to sleep soon... After updating my photography book list so I shall bid everyone a good night. Good night world!
