Part time photographer/dancer

Elsa was late and had shingles. Yikes so she bailed out and I took over. Armed with my dad's casio exlim 4 meg pixel cam, I went around snapping the student's food. And some looked good, while some really looked bad, awww crap.

There were like many shots and its gonna be crazy going through the process of photoshopping them; Levels, hue/saturation, replacement color:(

I might get paid but at a pathetic fee because being an amatuer, I probably have to put in double effort than seasoned photographers. And there was a photo that was quite hilarious; it was a salad bowl and had a carrot that looked like circumsized cockhead and two nuts depicted by the cut-into-halves mini tomatoes. And because im like so into macro shots and that the entire photoshoot was shot in that style... I hope it isnt a disaster.

ps: Post sample best photos taken.


And, and, and limpeh is dancing in CHIJ ensemble concert haha. Now how funny can that get? We're supposed to do this hip hop/jazz thingy and its a teacher's item. And somehow as the dance progress, Hema and I will become the leading frontmen till the finale. I bet Miss Tan and Mrs Mathews will laugh their heads silly on that night.

And I got no black shirt, Im so s-c-r-w-e-d! There's one really nice, chic looking worn by a model in the stands of the Zara store but but the price tag too will blow you away and it doesnt make any economical sense to get one to perhaps wear once.

I happened to try my luck and sms Yvon, and she actually replied! A pity she couldnt come, she's having exams but either way, it really made my day.

GSS

aka Great Singapore Sale. How misleading it was... basically took a walk down town with fab today. There wasnt much sale to begin with! Apart from Isetan and guess, the rest were just crap. But i did earmark what was next on my shopping list - an adidas samba shoe.
Welcome the to-be-4th shoe! Ha.

But either way it was a good day! Had a great dinner at Big-O. Platter for two is way better than fish&co's! And the "dark side" mudpie I ordered was fucking sinful. Yo but who cares man, the philosophy 'you live life once' is truely at heart.

Was playing pool after a long while. Gee, its been so long since we hanged out at far east mechmaster, those were the days man, when we were 17-19 back then.

Caught da vinci code, over the hedge and x-men3 over the weeks, really enjoyed it especially over the hedge. It was literally LOL all the way.

Tried the salon ah liang recommended near toa payoh, basically a poor man's toni&guy salon. Tried a faux hawk and it looked pretty cool; did garnered quite a number of compliments in school.

And i realised I spent like 600+ this month, and so its like 'frugal mode' next month. Told myself by year end must save up 10k. I'm definitely making it!

Mrs Mathews told me, the IJ pri school principal wants to matchmake me. Well mam, it better be good haha. Aesthetic fact: Secondary school teachers < primary school teachers.

And Christine is really a useless bitch. She doesnt seem to know anything! Not to mention niao and yau kwee! Draw $2k and got the cheek to say financially tight to buy a new PC or subscribe to broadband?! I mean she's sharing with her elder sister and is probably drawing that amount too. A budget PC costs $1k the very most and broadband is so affordable nowadays; Singnet BB cheapest plan is at $35+ while she can shell 15-20 bucks for 56k unlimited.
Family paid off their hdb flat and even own a car! Poor? Well my family doesnt own a car FYI.

What disgusts me over the week was how Paul helped to rebuild a new pc from an old one free of charge and solved her monitor problem. The least she could do was buy him lunch or something even if he said no. That's one thing the least you could do. Even if it was a cheapo canteen lunch, hey its the thought that counts!

And when invited for a buffet lunch at Apollo Hotel, she was like the FIRST to go and one of the LAST to leave and not to mention when there are dry snacks on the panty table, she can unabashedly take without asking.

Graduate from RMIT somemore. She's really giving a bad name to the alumni, no wonder she said she said she was looked down in Australia, i am really not surprised!

Knn, talking about it just makes my blood boil. Without any qualms, subjucated to the comdemn list.

Been a week!

And hell was it!
  1. Finally got a new phone - SE K750i. Pretty neat and cheap too(S$98).
    It kicks ass and really makes nokia phones look passe.

  2. Chilled with Fab for awhile at HV last week; ranting nonsense as usual.

  3. Had a mini potluck at pang's house the very next day and had a great chat with MJ on the way home.

    This guy seriously is the man. Highly motivated, street smart, hard-working and very disciplined. Hearing him tell me stories on how his family wasnt well-to-do, how at times he had to be frugal with food and looking at how much he has achieved today just makes me feel ashamed of myself. I pale in comparison in all aspects and am very far from the person he is.

    He has mapped out his life till the age of 50 and that silly brother is still paraniod. I told him he was on the right track and that he will be successful next time.

    He brushed it aside but Im sure he and I knew the inevitable if he continued perservering. He's someone i definitely look up and respect. If there's someone worth benchmarking against, thats Tan Ming Jie.

  4. Bought this zara marvel hero tee with Fab. He took superman and I took spiderman. If there was anything lacking, its a Lois he needs to pair up with and a Mary Jane to complement.

  5. Went for an interview to be an editorial assistant. I quite like the job nature. I HAVE to admit i swayed and pretty much sold on to it. Till Paul came along and slapped me out of it. The old man's right, dont jeopardize your degree, get it first then start carving a career later.

  6. The inventory system is coming along real nicely and is on schedule for may end release. Apparently the freelance girl didnt get back to Janny so that means my system is the mainstream as of today. Big fcuking good riddance to manual and hassle updates on paper and excel!

  7. Downloaded NFS:Most wanted and Winning Eleven 9. One word to sum it all - Euphoric! The graphics looks awesome and freaking sharp. You thought XBOX360 was awesome, wait till you compare it with the AMD64/7800GT. Its akin to a Mitsubishi Evo 9 VS a ferrari. The results are obvious. "GG."

  8. Its officially I'm moving house albeit 5 blocks away. The room's a little smaller but its not a n issue. Im like designing my own room and its gonna be awesome. The fags/boys can come n hang out in future.

PHP Geek

The switch to PHP? Yesire. I'm find asp.net stifles my html/css codes. I may move this blog to a new website. May ask johnny if he's kind enough to offer a space on his webby and let me utilise his php/mysql functionalities rofl.

Having no visual studio.net does put me at a disadvantage. So I gave it up and now in the midst to redo the entire system in php.

Dancing was cool; was practicing with some of the teachers for some IJ youth day performance haha.

Freelance writing come true? I may call up this editor next week and see if he's willing to try me out on freelance for HWM. I find myself more towards the gadget side rather than games. But still anything goes!

Fag's birthday this sunday la sial. Wala Wala? Its booze, live muzik and more bashing on the incumbents babehh!

Its funny how three farts end up being good friends through army and share a galore of similar outlooks like ahem pro-opp, soccer, acting like fags and same frequency.

The teacher, the nus political sci student and the IT dude. Damn it must be fate. Army may have wasted our time, but I take solace in learning some lessons mentally, physically and meeting u cheebyes who showed me a different side of life :)

Cheers fuckers!

Oh by the way. Election posts are just personal views; there were no intent of malice or defamation. It should be taken with a slight pinch of salt, and Im not responsible for any subliminal influence you may have felt upon reading it.

Vote whoever you think serves you best. Just dont come back crying over split milk 3 years later when GST goes up to 8%. ;)

Why a one dominant party is a no no.

Simple logic will tell you consumers do not gain from monopoly. Likewise would citizens gain if MIW swept all 84 seats in parliament?

Its a pity, there are quite a number of people who do not know how the political system in Singapore works. A lot of people say they are just concerned about the bread and butter issues, after all MIW is doing a good job.

If the people who do not realise the bigger picture that is, that the government determines your bread and butter. Hikes in transport fee rational? You stand to lose but SBS stands to gain after all they did announce they made a record profit.

Well its your choice to be suckers or winners.

Yes they have done a good job, Singapore is stable, the infrastructure that has been laid for for Singapore is today is laudable. BUT the lack of transparency in doing so is a serious cause for concern.

Mr Mah doesnt dare to disclose the actual cost price for HDB flats haha, im not surprised after all in the event, if truth be told, the jaws of everyone will probably drop to the floor.

Im really sick of the James Gomez saga actually. Day in day out since the day videos showed Gomez actually didnt submit his documents, MIW start taking pot shots and assassinate his character.

Did you know James Gomez is ranked 44th powerful man in Asia by asiaweek? LHL doesnt even come close! Oh never expect ST to report such stuff after all being ranked 140th/167 for press freedom is disgraceful for a first world country like Singapore.

I must take my hats off to WP and James Gomez for really keeping their cool. Obviously the general consensus might think he is dubious, but the fact is if he starts to lose it and refute MIW that they are lying, then we can start to see another round of law suits that will sue the pants off James Gomez or whosoever. In law, innuendos are very powerful; by saying that MIW is lying, it is insinuating that they are corrupted, criminals and unfit for government.

A perfect example on how TLH and JBJ who got sued till their backsides split apart for such labelling on MIW.

So why do you think MIW is slamming James Gomez so hard?:)

LYK dares JG to suit him? Any idiot will know no one has ever won a law suit against MIW in Singapore. Its like a walking straight into the lion's den unguarded!

And why is the media labelling LHL PM Lee? The government has been dissolved until nomination day when he gets sworn in IF he doesnt lose AMK GRC.
He's supposed to be known as the secretary-general for fuck's sake! Oh i forgot they're ranked 140th. OK.

Attending rallies, googling for information, checking out the forums definitely uncovers what you never expect in your whole life by just reading Straits Time every morning on your toilet seat!

Pity, I cant vote. No prizes for guessing who I will voting if given the chance ;)

Singapore is bigger than MIW, not the other way round.
