NS Life, first 2 weeks

Hey guys!

Yea... Just came back from NS! It wasn't a good experience and I'm glad that confinement week is over, and well... Many things to do! So will not elaborate too much as I'm constantly short on time, sharing some photos of my stuff which I said I would but forgot to do so before enlistment.

Canon ink!


Pro platinum paper


Photo album, nice eh?


Gaffer tape



My portable charger in the box


Open (this is by the way... A very good product, having used it in camp :) )


Canon USB, bought as a present for someone



Canon USB opened, it isn't official product BTW


My new bottle! Gonna use this when I go back to work :)


That's all for now! Probably will elaborate more tomorrow! Gotta shoot tomorrow! Good night world!

Officially less than 3 days to go =S

Hey guys!

So yea... Another entry, first for the month of August! The week has passed really quickly and now its officially less than 3 days before I enlist! At least... I think it is officially but I'm sure in 3 days I'll be in!

So yea... Basically the whole week was spent working and well... Trying to find money to ship my stuff which I had when my pay came in. So I got it shipped! The paper, album and printer ink are here. Dumb thing is Fedex said I had to call the day before if I want them to deliver my package on Saturday. WAKE UP GENIUS! MY PACKAGE ARRIVED ON SATURDAY IN SINGAPORE, THE DAY BEFORE IT WAS STILL FLYING! =.= And well, the package at DHL came in late so they can only send to me on Monday. Sometimes they deliver on Sunday, so what gives?!

So anyway... Now waiting for my portable battery to arrive and my gaffer tape. Gotta meet sissy to pass her her stuff =D. What else... No pictures as I was lazy to take photos of the stuff and I threw away the box in my excitement hahahha. I've test printed a photo with the Canon Pro Platinum Photo paper and well, I'm not sure if it was cause I printed an HDR image or what, but the gamut was surprisingly easy to control, and the colours came out great! Even the shadow details! I had to print 2 actually... Cause the first one had issue, but the second one was fine.

On Friday, my mum and I went to get stuff for NS uses, namely a padlock, deodorant (believe it or not, I now know how great it is to use rub on ones! XD), shower soap and shampoo (Adidas, if you're reading this, please make a big bottle, I love using your soap =D), toothpaste (sensitive whitening one) and I got hooks for "spray booth"!

I also caught Captain America and well... it wasn't all bad! The comic made him looked bad though but the movie was pretty good. And the way Captain America was brought to our present day was pretty smart, not like being trapped in an alternate dimension or whatever was used to bring him to present day.

On Saturday! I woke up early and went to Merlion Park to shoot, below are some of my shots, all in HDR. For some reason, I love shooting HDR images despite the time needed to shoot and process them =/

Standard Charter Building



Marina Bay Sands



I believe this should be the Marina Bay Sands Art Center? I could be wrong though



Singapore CBD area, don't be fooled by the ghosts of people, there weren't that many people that day


Shot of City Hall with Esplanade


Shot of somewhere near Marina Square, floating platform used on National Day and Singapore Flyer



Tomorrow is gonna be another long day with many things to do. Gonna miss my work and especially some of my colleagues! Hope they're still there when I go back to work after NS and after getting my diploma (assuming I'm ever accepted, then again... There's always private :D).

That's all I have to say now! Will upload pictures of my stuff before I go for NS and will blog when I'm out after the first few days! Good night world!
