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!

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!

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.

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
