2 days

29 July 2006
Reach home at around 7am and woke up at around 12noon or so. Having less than 4 hours of sleep is definitely not enough for me. Did some editing of pictures here and there. Then I went to out to shoot fireworks for the National Day Parade. Found myself a good location – it was at a HDB flat. (Ask me if you want to know where or you want to join in to shoot the next time round.) However, other photographers were already occupying all the good views, so I had to take up a not so good position to shoot. Also, there are a lot of fireworks shooting opportunities upcoming too – the Firework Festival. Here are some of the firework pictures taken.

When to SLCC for my first lesson on basic photography because I realized that I should get some real training since I felt that I’m not getting anywhere even though I had 5 years of shooting experience. Basically, for today’s lesson, most of the things I had already know like my back of my hand already. After all, I’m not a total novice in photography even though I may not be a DSLR user. Some shots of the day…

Had a ride at the DHL balloon... Miscalculated and ended up too early to go up to shoot sunset from the balloon... Juz a 10 minutes flight only, but I tried to get some good shots... However, not all of them turned out well though... Here are some...

Leaving Sentosa was a hell... So many people... After taking the "Blue Line" to the Visitor Centre, the queue for the bus to Harbour Front was so long that I chose to walk... Took MRT home and on the way from MRT station, hunger sets in so I decided to get something...

Received letter from the NUS about my admission to NUS... What actually makes me unhappy is the amount of administrative work I had to do... Come on, can't things be simpler???

Found a very old building... It seems like it was badly burnt... Took some shots there...

Did some "spring cleaning"
... Pack my stuffs, rearranging all the things... Forever good bye to all the green stuffs. I mean green uniform, green "make up" green cap (ya what, literally green cap mah...), green socks etc... And hello white stuffs
... But it seems like I wouldn't be using that pure white uniform anywhere soon... To come to think about that, I had blue, green and white uniforms... Got a good collection of uniforms huh? Just the "white series" alone, I've got FIVE types already... (not counting the extras sets) As for the previous "coloured" uniforms, Blue got two variations, while green got two variations, but got FIVE sets... Ya, if I go on talking about head-dress and foot wears, you might just fall asleep... I think all these stuffs are more than my very own stuffs... -__-""

Went to Changi Beach for a shoot... No great shots to present though... But happened to find a carcass of a weird creature... Anyone had an answer to what it is? In case you're wondering, the answer is yes, I do have a collection of pictures of carcass...
