So recently, I took a trip down to my childhood playground, sort of. It's the place why my primary school is located at that's my childhood playground. I would go to a lot of places to play after school until its dark before I go home. Dark as in literally dark, regardless of the time, like later part of the year, around 7, it would be very dark whereas earlier on, its not as dark at 7.
The place has changed quite a bit since my last visit back when I was in Secondary 2? Before we had to study on teacher's day before we're released. There are some familiar sites as well as some which I don't recall.
My primary school, closed since it was s Saturday, and the traffic light which I used to "guard" since my CCA at that time was road crossing monitor.
The other side of the road, where Hillock is, I remember going there once for PE and a few times to play. Can't remember what I played though.
When I was younger, Bukit Purmei seemed bigger, in this picture, can see that it's pretty small. I don't recall that sign being there though.
Not sure if this taxi stand has always been there or not, I processed it to have a more film look, I find it looks ok, though I've been told it doesn't look convincing, but whatever.
From the top of the hill next to the school where all the rich people live, showing Bukit Purmei. I remember getting scared by the dogs who live there when I was younger while exploring with my friends.
Some seats that have been there for a long time, no idea if people actually sit there, especially since it was hot when I shot this that day.
The basketball court where I played basketball with my friends.
I had an overwhelming sense of nostalgic that day. So many things have changed yet they have not. The pond, hut and fitness corner were all gone. I remember watching the terrapins at the pond, jumping around in the hut like monkeys, and playing hopscotch at the fitness corner, running around like nobody's business.
I went to the dentist yesterday to have my teeth checked and cleaned. I need to remove my wisdom teeth on the top jaw. I'm not going to do it unless it starts to hurt without any provocation of any sort, at the moment, it hurts when I eat ice cold food or boiling hot food. I seldom eat ice cream so no biggie, not good for health anyway. And boiling hot food is normally too hot to eat so doesn't matter either.
The other day I sent my slide films for processing. Finally finished the ISO 100 Provia in the Nikon F5 and ISO 400 Provia in the Olympus OM2n. However... I shot 39 frames in the Nikon F5 which was weird, and I couldn't rewind, opened the camera in the shade to find out that the film completely out of the cartridge. I have a feeling some photos won't turn out. It cost me $19 to have it developed only! No mounting! From now on until I work full time, I'm going to shoot negatives and B&W films. Since from now till I go back to work full time, I'm saving up for the photography equipment and driver's license. As well as a little for studying.
That's all for now, will post more pictures after I get my film back from the lab and will do the Nikon F5 review then! Till then, have a good day everyone!
