Second day, second week of attachment

Hey guys!

So before I get started, though nothing much, wanna share picture that I keep forgetting to share.

Credits to DM AKA Chris for the photo :D


As some might know, Joe McNally was in town giving a talk which Clubsnap was privileged to have. So there he is with the moderators XD

So yea... Nothing much actually, a bit more progression on video planning, which seems to be what I've been doing. Went back with my mother. That's pretty much all, since I'm mainly in the office rotting the day away. Good night world!

Nothing much

Hey guys!

So today work was extremely boring with nothing much to do. And the chicken rice stall wasn't open! Sad! So yea... That's pretty much it, boring quiet day in the office. Don't think Hilwah knows the existence of this place but, thank you Hilwah for being my friend :). Good night world!

Nothing much

Hey guys!

Second week of attachment starting tomorrow and I wonder what do I have to do. So didn't do much over the past few days. Saturday morning I went down to the office to tweak the computers in hopes that the network will be more stable especially when accessing network drives. Bought battery for my aunt's camera and met one of my fellow moderators to pass him the autography. On Saturday morning before going to the office, I met my buddy Jimmo for prata before going to the Joe McNally seminar. How I wish I could go but I just went with him to Shiro House outside the venue.

Today I went down to Chinatown to look for perfume for someone before going down to Clementi to support Justina and Melanie and the rest of the fencers in fencing. Though I didn't stay for the results due to backache.

Here are just 4 photos, didn't shoot much due to backache and lack of proper space to set up to shoot though that probably isn't a very good excuse, ah well... Enjoy!

Melanie looks so serious here


Justina preparing


First round, Melanie on the left vs Justina on the right


One of my favourite picture, looks like someone pointing a sword at Justina XD

Third day of attachment

Hey guys!

Currently in the office backing up data so I'd thought of doing a quick entry for yesterday. Nothing much happened really... Its quite boring in the office... As I was going home on the bus, I was thinking about what Joe McNally said during his talk the day before, and one really rang true. We are photographers, photographers do not belong in an office, we belong out there. And then I realize that I actually love being in the sun and sweating, I just hate to get sun burn. So yea... Just wanted to say this, gotta go now, see you all tonight! Or tomorrow XD

First Day Of Attachment And Inspirational Talk!

Hey guys!

Today was the first day of attachment. Woke up and went back to Queensway Secondary before going down to Tiong Bahru to have breakfast. Took 16 to work, which was went surprisingly fast though... The travel time, not the work hours, though it was pretty fast. I started at 8:30 instead of 9.

I set up the network printer which frankly wasn't really all too difficult, then I kinda destroyed the network and spent most of the day trying to get it back up and stable, which luckily it should be right now.

I finished pretty early and took a cab down to Vivo city for the Joe McNally talk. He was bigger than I thought, as big as I am actually. Met more of the moderators whom I didn't have a chance to meet last year at Clubsnap Live!@ SAM.

Thanks to another moderator SBS99, I got Joe's autograph! AWESOME!



All in all, it was really inspirational. I got to work tomorrow so good night world!

First Day Of Attachment Tomorrow!

Hey guys!

Sorry for the lack of updates as nothing much has happened. Basically I've been trying to bid for a Quantum Turbo battery pack which will really help with my flash usage. Just yesterday was the Sec 1 CCA recruitment drive, and for the first time, my Metz ran out of power, lucky I was smart enough to take my FL-36R, which reminds me, I have to call Olympus about my FL-50R.

So hopefully I'll get my battery pack. Tomorrow is gonna be a long day, morning go back to Queensway Secondary to give the photos, which I shot 250 plus and only have like 86, but those 86 were pretty good in my opinion, no idea to be happy or sad. Then go and have breakfast at Mac at Tiong Bahru Plaza before running down to the office for first day of attachment! After which ,I have to take a cab to Vivo City for a talk by Joe McNally. AWESOME!

That's pretty much it. Anyway... I was bored so I did a 3D version of ultimate Echo Echo, only his torso though, since doing the full thing will be time consuming though I took like half an hour to an hour to do his torso. Its to show Rizal that it can be done. I shall end it with the image of Ultimate Echo Echo. Good night world!

First entry of the new year

Hey guys!

How was your new year? I sure hope it's good! I didn't update cause nothing much happened recently though I had pizza today and long john silver the other day, the good thing is, after 3 months after staying away from them, I don't have that strong urge to constantly eat fast food, so I'm happy to say, ITS UNDER CONTROL! Though I'm still staying away from soft drinks.

Lets see... I repaired my DIY bounce card by using epoxy glue, at least... I think that's how its spelt, nothing big actually, just that the velcro is not sticky anymore. I'm gonna do my dembs bounce card in a bit.

Lets see... Nothing much really, meeting my sis Jia Zhen tomorrow for lunch, or today rather since its past 12 midnight. Slept at 4 this morning cause my aunt was scanning film. And I passed the Panasonic 14mm lens to another moderator who was on the way to Panasonic to return the lens. Good riddance to the lens actually, hahaha.

I was looking at my E-3, and it was like, I had an epiphany. The E-3 has and always served me well, and so did my E-1, so the E-5 is not really needed. But the E-1 rubber grip is driving me nuts and there's no apparent way to DIY stick it back since the rubber stretched. And I read a review somewhere that the E-1 feels like its built to last. So I shall use gaffer tape to seal and stick the rubber down when Olympus doesn't repair the E-1 anymore.

Looking at the E-1 and E-3, and thinking about the PENs, it sure makes me worried about the future, if I really switch camps due to the size issue, I'm gonna miss the colours, sharpness and price of the Zuiko lenses... Well... Only time will tell! The E-5 has been out for only a couple of months, may be getting one when I ORD anyway, unless the E-7 is released, announced or rumored to be announced XD.

In the meantime, I shall improve as a photographer and work towards being one so changing system isn't gonna be an issue! That's all for tonight, hopefully I got something better to do tomorrow. Good night world!
