Last Post Before 2010 Ends...

Let's get depressed for a bit more.... Time Flies... Haiz.... =S

Looking back, nothing incredible happened this year... Just... Fucking LOTS of spendings... So, in the year of 2010...

I slept during CNY...
I bought my first L lens...
I started using iPhone...
I got an ukulele from Nicholas for birthday...
I had a somehow disappointed birthday celebration...
I bought rollerblades for his birthday...
I got summoned for driving OPC without day license...
I bought my first car...
I bought iPad...
I bought a Gucci bag while shopping for mooncakes...
I spent some thousands at the vet...
I did eyelash extensions...
I bought myself more toy cameras for Christmas...
I got lots of Christmas present from my idiot...
I GOT A NEW CAT BEFORE YEAR END!!!

Found Didi on Tuesday at my void deck... Wet and helpless... I'm currently fostering him. He needs to be kept warm and fed every few hours. I'm not sure if I can keep him permanently or able to find him a good home. Mimi that spoilt brat really hate Didi. Looks like no partying tonight because of Didi... Have a peaceful new year everyone!

Mimi Must Have Hated Christmas....

Because I drank too much on the eve and slept the whole Christmas. At first he was enjoying sleeping beside me, then he realised it was terrible because he was starving like mad! Haha!! He chomped my leg everywhere to wake me up but got kicked by me! =X

Just got out of the hangover a few hours ago but falling sick now. Feverish and heaty throat... Not very looking forward to the New Year. My life is in a mess as usual, inside and outside. The bloody fucking room is messy like hell... I hope I get it done before weekend... Haiz...

Very Merry~

It's not here yet but this year I have a fruitful Christmas because I've got lots of presents!! But suddenly I'm feeling a bit depressed because Christmas means New Year is coming again. What have I done in this whole year?! Haiz...

I ordered and paid for a Shootsac as present to myself. Ended up he offer to pay for it as a present to me.. Zzz... So, I chose another present for myself!! Hesitate very long because its quite pricely. As usual, I can't resist the temptation.. Haha!

New addition to my collection!!!


I love the packaging!


How cutely wrapped! The 932th out of 1000 limited pieces!


A White LC-A+!! =)

So happy!! Free express shipping for Christmas and it comes with a matching white leather case as well! Ordered on Saturday and reached here yesterday. Just after I placed the order online, my father gave me $500 as gift becasue he striked 4D!! So, even the present to myself is paid for! xD Also bought a DIY cardboard camera with it. I yet to fix it up. Intend to go Art Friend buy some wood planks, follow the pattern of the cardboard and make a wooden one instead.

The stupid Shootsac I ordered earlier than this with free express shipping but its still not here yet! And I have other presents! Monday went shopping and he bought me a mini rice cooker and a Armani Exchange sweater! Haha!! Many Christmas present!!

Bleat

This post is going to be short and simple. LIMPEH IS BLOGGING AT DISCO. BYE,

Post No.276

I wanted to rant... Again... Zzz... But I ended up ranting in my heart and eventually got over it even before I started writing... The person whom you are supposed to find comfort with is hurting and pissing you... Then you have to use self therapy?! How miserable?! WTF! Ccb... Sibeh sianz...

Really Something New This Time...

WHY THE FUCK a person with a DSLR has such boring blog?! Every post is just some plain text ranting about the same idiot and a stupid cat, reporting about laundry doing and room cleaning... (this person needs to get a life!) =X

I actually had things to rant about yesterday, but for goodness sake... Let's forget about it...

Today I've got new things to tell and also a photo... (Like finally!! WTF?!)

Took with iPhone... DSLR still rotting away...

Please... Don't bother about my eyebags ok!! I am showing my eyelash extensions!!! Woman of course must hiao a bit lah! Looks pretty like I'm putting on mascara all the time. Just nice for Ashlie's wedding this Saturday... xD

Me Really Wanna Get My Wardrobe DONE!!!

I've been contemplating to make a new wardrobe since more than a year ago... But there's always something big for me to spend every month to hold back the plan... Buying camera, buying car and Mimi fell sick.. Kaoz... This month is car servicing.... Haiz...

Went to see a contractor on Sunday... Expect the new L shaped wardrobe to cost around $4k to $5k... Wah kaoz!! Back to contemplating again... I really hope to get it done before CNY... Zzz...

Room messy again.. Laundry piling again... Life sucks...

中文篇

忽然觉得偶尔该用中文写一下blog，因为刚才突然八卦一下，阅读了一位老友的blog而让我有了些感想。她是我小学及中学的同学，现在竟然当了小学的中文老师！我用“竟然”不是因为瞧不起她，而是我没有想过在我认识的朋友当中会有志愿想当老师的！

说到了她的blog，刚才读到了这篇她与学生的沟通方式。她叙述一段与学生的SMS对话，让我读了之后有一种黯然的感觉。是现在的小学中文水平提高了很多吗？还是我的中文水平退步了？我并不是不明白那段内容，而是觉得那用词及表达方式，虽然不是很深奥，但也算超越了普通的中文。

我曾经是一名中文非常出色的学生，用类似这样或更有深度的文采来写作和交谈一点都不是问题！不过。。。刚才读了那篇叙述，我发现这不是近年来的我可以轻易做到的事，令我觉得非常感慨。。。我所学的中文到底去了哪里？！这十多年来都是用英文上网聊天，偶尔写几个中文字都有电脑汉语拼音输入代劳，从未拿过笔在纸上写过中文字。现在要我写一句中文，我想差不多八成的字都忘了怎么写！认得怎么念，若是要我自己写，就想不起来了！嗨。。。

为了不让自己的中文渐渐的退步，以后偶尔用中文写写blog是一个好方法。这当然也是唯一的方法！现在的我，除了写blog，还会有什么其他的闲情写作！！！哈哈！

(我知道啦! "Blog"的中文称“部落”啦！"SMS"的中文称“简讯”啦！写blog而已嘛！So serious for wat?!)

Mimi is back....

Ok... This is outdated news... Mimi came back since Monday. At first not pooping and moody. Now he's back to normal. I begin with a raw diet which the vet recommended. Initially he was eating, maybe starved too much in the hospital. Now he's starting to complain!! Bloody hell... Waste my money and the food... I don't care!! I'm going to starve him before each meal to make sure he eat no matter what.

With his hospitalisation and the feeding of raw diet, it kinda messed up my life a bit. Irregular sleeping and change of activities. I'm quite lost and restless these few days. =(

Mimi Is Sick!!!

I came back from the vet quite a while ago. Mimi has to be hospitalised!! The bill was $812 just for today's procedure. Omg!! I have no idea how much the final bill will total. Maybe another $1k? Or $2k?!

It's not the first time he has trouble peeing. The last time I spent about $1k++ for scans and test. He looked very miserably in pain. The vet suggest a surgery to improve the condition in case of future occurance. Wah lau... See how lah..

Mimi please get well soon... Don't stay in the hospital too long because the bill is expensive... =X Most importantly, I MISS YOU!~

Again And AGAIN!!

Not that I want to rant again... I just did yesterday.. I want to say, the same episode replayed last night! FUCKING IDIOT! DAMN! I felt so much want to punch him in the face and stab him a million times!! Ok.. Maybe no need for a million, since he would be dead before I even reach a hundred... BUT at least a few times really!!

Despite of the nonsense, I did have a considerably good sleep. Because Mimi was sleeping with me.. Hehe.. We hugged each other in sleep.. So sweet... But a few days ago I read a quote from someone's Facebook update that "If a dog jumps into your lap it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing it is because your lap is warmer." Wtf!? Means Mimi is just trying to take advantage of me all the times... Kaoz...

It's another boring day... I hope the week gets better...

It's Always The Same Fucking Nonsense!

Oh well... What brings me here? Haven't been blogging for so long yet I'm here now just because I want to rant... Haiz...

There's so much I want to complain, yet I'm so sick of going into the details. It's ALWAYS the SAME nonsense from the fucking idiot!! Don't ask me why I am still with him. I guess because I get pissed so much that I'm staying to get even!!! The fucking idiot who screw up everything in his life.

Long story short... Fucking retarded bastard ALWAYS promised things that he never do! Still got the fucking cheek to argue. Then follow by excuses which he think is explanation. Then apologise yet still want to argue and "explain". THIS FUCKING THING HAS TO BE REPEATED AGAIN AND AGAIN!!! IT ALWAYS HAPPENED!!!

Somemore still try to accuse me of being unreasonable for not giving him a chance to explain. FUCK LAH!! To me, it's not explanation at all! The moment I hear his fucking excuse, I'll shut him off. I literally scream at him to shut up!! Feel like slapping him. CCB!! If you always promise the SAME fucking thing which you ALWAYS never do.... AND the first moment, instead of realising your mistake, you try to argue your way through... THEN WHO THE FUCK WANT TO HEAR YOUR SO CALL EXPLANATION?!! AND seriously if you have to fail your promise like at least EVERY WEEK FOR FIVE YEARS, YOU STILL FUCKING HAVE EXPLANATION FOR EVERY SINGLE TIME?! CCB!! I DAMN SICK OF HEARING LOR!! THE MOMENT I HEAR HIM START THE FIRST FEW WORDS OF HIS EXPLANATION I REALLY DAMN PISSED!! Better just straight away show me that you are remorseful and apologise that's it!!!

The fact that this thing keep repeating really fucking piss me off A FUCKING LOT!!!! My vocabulary is pretty limited at this point but seriously, "IDIOT" and "RETARD" is NOT enough to describe him. CCB!! Sibeh tulanz!

Testing Blogpress With iPad

Last week was bad!!! Budget for new wardrobe gone! The kind of worrying feeling came back after months. Now I have more commitment to take care of. Haiz... I'm trying to keep calm, focused and disciplined to get things back on track again.

Finally packed my room after many months of procrastination lol... Better make effort to maintain this... Things should get better after my father start work this coming November. I just feel uncomfortable to do my chores when he is around at home.

Ever since I got a car, people start to ask me for favour. Now I can understand why last time I always hear people lament about having to help or fetch who and who. I had my cousin come tell me that he need my car during his wedding. Then my godma out of the blue moon asked to fetch her this coming Monday. Well...

I Feel I Need To Blog, But I Don't Know What To Write...

I feel like I am Ariel the mermaid. I have almost everything I want, but my life is still very... Sianz...

I have many gismo and toys. Recent new addition is the iPad. Hesitated quite long before getting one. Not exactly excited over it since I already have an iPhone and the two more or less function the same way. But the advantage of bigger screen, I find some extra uses with it. I can store all my piano scores in it and use it as display while practicing. Gaming and watching video become visually comfortable. Sketching and drawing also become easier with a big screen. Hehe...

So many distractions at home... I will never buck up and pack the room.. Haiz.. A lot of rubbish and clothes piling again... Sianzzzzzzzzzzzz

This Is Major Update!!!

Finally the mood to do some updates because Mimi is back!!!! He went missing since Tuesday morning and I searched the neighbourhood day and night! At first I was not really worried thinking I'll definitely find him and all the articles I read online say indoor cats do not run very far because they will be too scared so they will find the nearest place to hide. But after two days of searching I started to feel demoralised and sad.

Hanzi came over to help me put up posters at lift lobbies just now in the night but had to rush off to work. I continued searching at 1AM again. Research says that's the best timing to search because they most probably hide all day and come out when it's dark and quiet. I extended the search area further in the neighbourhood. Was 4AM and decided to close shop. Coming home at the lift lobby downstairs I thought I heard a familiar bell ringing for a second!! No footstep sound, so can't be human! Must be Mimi!! There I found Mimi the stupid cat!!!

He could recognise me, didn't run away from me. Grabbed him and squeezed into the transport box which I brought along. Omfg... Then I had to go back to all the places to take down the posters. Zzzz... First thing at home was to bathe him!!! Now he's sleeping in my lap after his food. He must be very hungry and tired. At least... He's back home safely....

A lot of unnecessary stress over the last weekend as Jason suddenly finalised his decision to sell the car which I'm driving! He even got an interested buyer!! Kaoz!! To be honest, after so long I kind of enjoy the convenience of driving a car although I don't really go out a lot. But the thought of suddenly taken off from this privilege left me a feeling of handicapped. Zzz... So I decided to buy it.

Seriously, I can buy any car not necessary this one but I just feel I wanna continue driving this car. Everything was in a rush because the road tax and insurance was due to expire on Tuesday. I had to get my loan approved before everything because Jason was worried that if I end up not able to get the car, his buyer might back out by then. And so I went around enquiring and applying for a 22k loan.

At such superb timing the LTA summon finally came!! 4 offences at $500 each. Thank god that was the lowest amount they summon, but no thanks at a time I'm trying to buy car!! Applied for loan to a few places and got reply from Sin Thai Hin that POSB offered $19k. That was the highest offer I got then but I had a GE Money application pending through JV Leasing. I was eager to know the result so I called up GE Money directly. The customer service checked and told me that my loan was rejected, so I went ahead with Sin Thai Hin to process the POSB. Then the next day, JV Leasing called and said GE Money approved my $22k! WHAT THE FUCK was their customer service doing!!? They told me rejected!!! If they told me no result yet, I could have waited!!! Zzz.... That could save me $3k cash for other usage!! Nabeiz!! $3k cash top up, $600 transfer fees, $360 first installment, $1.7k insurance, $400 road tax, $2k LTA fines and other bills.... Knn I spent almost $10k this month... Haven't include parking, petrol, Mimi food, my food, ciggies and many other miscellaneous... Zzzz.....

Now every bad thing is over... Better make more money in the weeks and months to come... Haiz....

Here For A Breather...

Taking a break from online shopping right now to blog... Heeeheeee....

I seems to have disappeared from this blog and Facebook and everywhere else... Been spending my time on the stupid maple game and have spent quite a sum of money on it. Zzz... Just a while ago I tried to distract myself from the game by trying to shop online!! Shopping makes women happy!!~ It's not going to hurt my pocket a lot, I'm only looking at some new applications for my iphone. =X

Last week I was quite tempted to get the new ipad. I kinda put off the idea already. Afterall my phone can do whatever it can do, I guess I won't be bothered to bring it around when I go out. Better keep the money for a new PC.

Now back off to window shopping....

Now...

I am blogging because
Maplestory is having server check...

Yes I'm back to mapling because
Tri jio me to do so...

For the past 3 days I levelled
a whopping 20 times!!!

Of course I also spent on @cash and mesos
costing $300++!!

Since now the game server is down
I should be off doing chores...

Or maybe at least find something healthy to do
like reading or rollerblading...

But here I am with Tri online
waiting for the server to be up.. =X

We were discussing about the game just now... Which made me read my blog entries because I wanted to know when I last played the game... Then I realised how much missing chapters I have here.. LOL.. And also the changes in mood and style I had in my writings just for a period of one year... Time flies... Makes me depressed...

I'm better off find something more delightful to do...

Some updates...

Just took a good look round my room... How come upkeeping never seems to end? I just did the chores a few weeks ago... =S

Other than that, life's been ok and finance's been good. Hope things don't get too rough when the LTA summon come! But I think before this, Mimi is going to squeeze my pocket dry!! He had recurring difficulty to pee. Yesterday was the 3rd visit to the vet already. Going again on Tuesday for ultrascan.. OMFG!!

Before everything settles, I got to stop spending for a while. Haiz.. I really wish to have a new wardrobe....

Shit!! Spotted!!!

Arghh!!! Got spotted by the LTA for driving OPC without the e-day license... And not only one!! Its four within the same processing time frame!!! Argghhh!!! Last month had been terrible!! Kept forgetting!!

While other offenders probably worry about appealing for their single offence... Now I have to crack my head to explain on the four!! I was seriously forgetful and I don't want to cook up some crappy stories... Dare not appeal for anything but jus hope show leniency... Sent in my letter of explanation yesterday... Fingers crossed!!

New toys again!!!

This time inline skates!!! Haha!!

Did I ever mention about skating before?! No but I always wanted to go skating at least once with him. In fact I wanted to buy us a pair of personal skates few months ago. Nevertheless borrowed Xta's and Tri's pair of skates last Wednesday to try beforehand. It was quite a fun session and he enjoyed it (even though he fell 3 times)!!! xD This tempted me to buy our personal skates even more!! And so it happened!!

Come to think of it, I've got lots of new toys in the past year but life has still been very sianz! I should meddle more with my toys... I've got to...

Take more photos with my lomos and DSLR...
Draw something with my pastel sets...
Play games on my ps3 and wii...
Learn songs on my digital piano and ukulele...
Read the many books I bought...
Practice more on my new skates...

But first... GOT TO TIDY MY ROOM!!! Zzz... The mess accumulated since I fell sick... Sibeh sianz.. Lots of clearing and tidying and cleaning... Zzzz...

Recover liao....

Finally feeling back in shape. First was flu, then was fatigue. I swear it was really severe fatigue, not because I was lazy. It was so bad for the whole week that I couldn't do anything!!

It was everyday dizzy, nausea and shortness of breath. That few days made me suspect I might be suffering from some serious illness. When I got just a little better, bought some supplements from GNC... BUT!! KNN the tablets are so big I have difficulty swallowing. Zzzz.... Finally got over the fatigue attack then terrible headache. Fuck!! Anyway now more or less back to normal. I already told my mum to finish the supplements from GNC... LOL..

Moral of the story:
Don't buy supplements in enormous tablets form... Zzz...

Sick!

Freaked out when I stepped out of my room just now. My father is cleaning the living room with a water hose. So many furnitures around!! My piano!!!! WTF!!! How can just wet the whole place when there's wooden stuffs around!! GRRRRRRRR!!!

Can't care too much because I'm not in a good state. Woke up and got rid of the fever and aches, but still sore throat and thick phlegm. Sibeh sianz.... =(

Haiz....

It's 6:20AM and I'm eating mee siam.... New flavour bowl noodle from Myojo... Taste not bad, but I still prefer the tomyam.

Last night I was very sad and I cried. I was told Ah Gu is confirmed dead! I didn't see him for weeks. The last few times I saw him, he was moody and lost a bit of weight. He was a very loving and obedient cat. He would greet me everytime. I miss him very much! =( Such nice character, probably its better for him to end his life early instead of suffering as a stray.

I spent the past few hours playing Final Fantasy XIII... Earning gil is miserable!! Now back to the game.....

Post No.257

I've been seriously neglecting this space..... (not the first time anyway...) =S

The Snapzshots column here is so damn outdated because I posted all of my snapshots to Facebook. Updated craps to Facebook instead of Twitter. =X I frequent Facebook these days though I stopped playing the games there. Those games bored me out easily. Sometimes I don't know why I am there many times a day just to see other people's updates. Not trying to be nosey but really sibeh fucking bo liao!! Just hoping to see some interesting photos or videos.

Things took a downturn beginning last week. Luck don't stay all the time. Tried not to go shopping but still money is flowing out. Income tax, bills and all the misc stuffs. This month's electrical bill went up by almost $100. I had aircon on most of the time. Damn weather!! Wednesday spent nearly $600 on new sink, tap and cooking hob for the kitchen. Fly money fly!!

Still playing the Final Fantasy XIII. Done a lot on the game but still seems far away from collecting all the trophies. I'm beginning to think that the developer is crazy!!! Lol..

Haven't been shooting much as usual. Here's some shot from yesterday...

Lazing....


And dozing....


Enjoying the bed more than me... as always...

And below are some shots from dinner at Peony Jade... Err.. Almost 3 weeks ago... =X

Roast Peking Duck








Pan fried Goose Liver & Lobster... Its overpriced!!


Deep-fried Prawn & Stir-fried Scallop


Oh this Pork Okos was recent Monday's dinner...

If you passed by the Botejyu restaurant at Liang Court, you'll see the chef cooking the okos behind the glass. I think they have a few branches in Singapore. Smells very nice but taste so so..... Maybe I'll try the seafood okos next time...

Some updates...

April 2010 was a good month. So good that I forgot all about blogging... What craps?! =X I spent the days lazing at home mostly surfing, gaming and some punting. Seriously.. What's there to blog about?!

Just completed Final Fantasy XIII last night! Finally but just the main story. Still far from a 100% complete. What stupid developer to design a game with all the interesting stuffs that comes after the completion of the main story. Many people would find it meaningless to continue after the boring story ends. Well, for the sake of themes and personal achievements, I'm going to finish it. =Þ

I wish to go holiday~

29 Years Old...

It's a week overdue for this post. Well... It's just another birthday... I know I don't seems excited about it. Anyway it's over... Not that I had an awful birthday, but I hope next year is a better one..

Had dinner after a bit of shopping. Birthday present was a self picked 85mm f1.8... Self picked again... Zzz... Better than let him pick, most probably turn out to be perfume! This reminds me that my christmas present from him is still in the box, maybe half evaporated.

Dinner at Dozo again. He just can't get any more creative. Here's some of the night's menu.

Crab claw salad


Smoked duck


Tempura soft shell crab


Mushroom soup


Lamb shank


Pork cheek


Finally something thoughtful from him...

Food didn't taste as good as the first time we were there. We tried to order different things from the first visit to try out their menu. Should have gone with our regular likings instead.

And this ends birthday 2010...

It Travelled A Long Way...

A pleasant surprise to have the postman at my door...

All the way from Hawaii~!!! You know I mean the parcel (not the postman)... Hehe.. And by the shape of the parcel, I immediately guessed what it was and who sent it!! I so clever~! xD

Look!! It's got a dolphin!!

Beautiful soprano ukelele in white!! A present from Nicholas reach in time for my birthday! Thank you Nicholas! I really appreciate the thought. =)

And speak about "thoughts", which idiots always have none. Zzz... Earlier just now, he tried to discuss with me about my birthday. I expected there isn't going to be a celebration as extravagant as last year's. I don't mind at all. It's not the money spent but its the thought that makes everything meaningful. Which is why I sibeh fucking pissed when he offered to shop with me later for a present. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...... OMFG!! If you are not filthy rich, DON'T act like one and ask people what they want for present!! You are only trying to disappoint them because you can't afford what they name!! KNN!! Show some sincerity and present a gift by your own thoughts!!

He intend to let me choose a present and only worry about dinner and cake cutting all at his own convenient time!! What kind of thought is this?! As a matter of fact, I DON'T need dinner, cake nor gift to be pleased!! Why he still don't get it?!!

Back... Again...

I was telling Nic the other day that I only blog when I'm in better mood... So, I don't understand why I'm blogging now.

Things haven't been really good and nothing's interesting worth blogging about. I've been so restless that the chores are piling up again. Lack of motivation so much that I didn't even bother to touch on my long awaited Final Fantasy XIII.

Sibeh sianz...

I Just Did Facial!!!

In the mood to blog a bit but can't think of a title. Hee... But... I really just finished a facial. Bought a facial steamer quite some time ago from Mustafa. Finally thought of putting it to use just now. Steam a bit, squeeze some clogged pores and then a mask. Hopefully nothing will happen to my face. I can't remember how long ago I bought those masks from Sasa.. Hahaha.. Getting old... Shouldn't be too late to take care of my skin now.. xD

Just took a some glance round my room... Mess is building again! =X I tried my best to maintain everything really. Haiz..

These few days been tiring. Other than helping Jason to move his house on Wednesday, the rest of the stress came from throwing curry pok! =X Its Buffet War from Viwawa. Haha.. Quite fun game similar to Gunbound.

Figure is not going well with my pocket. This week he rob me to go casino again. Lost again! But not me.. Bcos I didn't bet.. I hope everything pick up along the way. Hopefully this is a prosperous year for me.

Just Updates...

Chinese New year is not over yet but at least everything is back to normal because my parents started working. Heee... My room is still pretty neat at the moment, I hope I don't mess it up too soon. And it's one of those days again... Feeling lethargic... Sloth-ing around...

Yesterday was officially the first date with him after Valentine's, though we did meet on Tuesday but it was too late to go anywhere. We ended up at the casino that night and I contributed 1k. Zzzz.... So anyway yesterday was supposed to be a belated Valentine's but it was not romantic at all. Quite pissful! He wanted to bring me go shop for a present but I don't want! I'm getting very sick of shopping for my own present everytime!!! You only offer that when you are filthy rich so the girl can get to choose anything!! If not, then you better go buy a present yourself, whether cheap or expensive but it serves more meaning!!

Went Kinokuniya at Takashimaya to shop for a magazine which I saw from a Facebook user. I want the freebie inside which is a self assembly TLR camera!! Out of stocks!! But I placed an order and would be here before March! Hee.. The funny part is - they said I can't cancel my order. Placing an order is only filling up name and phone on a slip without paying anything. What can they do to me if I don't want to collect it?! Dumb!

Dinner was at Ma Maison Japanese Western Food. Wilson was the one who brought me there. Took photos the last time but lazy to blog about it. Hehe...

He told me to take this pic of him... So hiao!


There's always no pic of me...




Take this and pay at the cashier...


Aiyo I like this pic.. Anyway its smoked salmon.


Scallop capaccio.. Love it!!


His omelette butter rice with beef stew. Don't look appealling but taste good.


My hamburger steak. Patty nice but sauce a bit too saltish.

I almost forgot that I went Botanic Garden on Tuesday. Wanted to go try out my 24-70mm on some flowers. Oreos and me almost melted! So damn bloody hot!!! I was lugging a bag and tripod around. We were expecting a lot of colors but only greens. Lots of trees and grass. Zzzz... Gave up venturing after 15minutes. Only shot a few miserable pics.

The only flower I shot..


Photoshopped!

Really love the hue in the 2nd pic. Saw a series of photos from a Facebook user and now trying to learn from it. It's quite interesting to photoshop photos of flowers because of the variety of colors. Hmm... I must make a trip to the Botanic Garden again another time...

I Screwed Up CNY!!!

First of all, Happy New Year!!!

Another year passed and I am still the same. As in unproductive.. Haiz...

It seems like every year I had to spend the eve rushing with spring cleaning. Past years had to rush overnight and complete by the morning of the 1st day. This year slightly better since I had my room revamped in 2009, not much of work. In fact, it's just the normal cleaning and tidying which I supposed to do regularly. Everything done by 11pm on the eve.

This year's CNY is by far the least interesting I ever had. Totally didn't feel like it's CNY. Didn't feel like it was coming. Don't feel like it is now. I spent the eve's night like any other night - punt and watch TV. That was how I screwed up! I stayed up all night and I slept all day when everyone was visiting my house!! Could hear my mother banging on my door a few times but I pretended I couldn't hear. =X

Mimi also dozed away with me in his gold kua....

Can't give a hoot to what they think about me sleeping on the CNY!! Tired, so sleep!! And sleep also got angpow!! =S Some left angpow for me before they left... Actually I'm not very concerned about getting angpows. Afterall I'm already grown up, take angpow buay paiseh meh?!

And so, I spent this year's 1st day of CNY sleeping. Well, I think I did this before... Not the first time.. =X Not to mention, that was also how I spent this year's Valentine's!! Zzzz... How boring!! Haiz... I hope to get over with everything and resume as usual soon.

iPhone Is So Amazing!!!

I know.. I know... I said the same when I had the Blackberry... BUT!! It's different this time!!! I'm head over heels in love with my iphone now!!! It's a damn amazing gadget!!! It can do better than what the Blackberry does and even more!!

Things that I can do the same with a Blackberry:
MSN as usual...
Twitter as usual...
Blog as usual...
Receive push email as usual...

Things that are BETTER than Blackberry:
Access Facebook with better interface!
Snap photos with better RESOLUTION!
Play games that are more fun and interesting!
Watch Youtube without error!
Install applications that are more useful and interesting!

Things that Blackberry CAN'T do:
Edit my photos and add lots of effects!!!
Log on to IRC which I wasn't able to do with my Blackberry for some unknown reason!!!
Play Bejeweled Blitz and Texas Hold'em Poker connected to Facebook!!!
Surf webpages that has flash contents!!!

There's so much more but I'm just listing out the things that are useful to me. Today, I just installed a damn amazing applicationon my iphone. A remote desktop client which I can access my home computer from anywhere with my iphone!! So useful!! It's like my iphone turned into a wireless monitor cum keyboard cum mouse for my home computer!! Can even play sounds from it!! I know there are remote desktop clients for Blackberry but I am very sure the kind of experience would be different. Blackberry has its limitations on many things.

I think I made the right choice to give in to touchscreen and try out the iphone. It really caters all my needs. Touchscreen adds inconvenience to typing but also new experience to using a phone. Without the touchscreen, Bejeweled Blitz and full remote desktop access can never be made possible. =)

Come to think of it... Now I can position my webcam in a convenient spot in my room... When I'm outside, I can remote switch on the webcam and spy Mimi!! Hahaha!! xD

Lazy Solutions...

As you can see... The photo at the Snapzshots on the top of the page has changed due to the resolution shot by my iphone. The way iphone post the photo also affected the alignments. So, I took away the frame and edited the alignments.

Decided not to change a new blogskin because I love that damn tree so much. You no believe me?! Really!! I even made the tree bigger than before!! xD

Okok... Too lazy to think of a new blogskin lah... Now with iphone, I can post Snapzshots vertically or horizontally and even at random sizes! Therefore, can't think of a creative design to fit in yet. Meanwhile just live with the current blogskin. Maybe until I get sick of that damn tree... =)


P.S. I really got enlarge the tree =Þ

i-ed and L-ed!!!

Used to come across my mind only for a couple of times, but had been seriously considering about it in the past few days... Though I don't like the idea of touchscreen, but just cannot resist the wonderful features and gave in to the idea to buy an iPHONE!!! xD

If not for only $48, I would never consider getting rid of my Blackberry. Was meddling with the new toy last night. Totally new concept and interface. Everything is fabulous except for the touchscreen part. Inconvenience to SMS in some situation and also slow down punting =X Haiz... I downloaded damn lots of camera application to add effects on photos BUT... Now I have problem updating the snapzshots on this blog. Argh!! Need to change blogskin to suit everything.. Zzz... Battery seems to drain pretty fast or maybe because I had been playing around with the settings too much.

Was at Paragon M1 last night buying the phone. Just next door is the Apple authorised dealer store. Went over to browse for a case. Didn't buy any because they are all so expensive!! Wtf?! My iphone only cost $48 but the casings are more expensive than the phone! Kaoz!! Now a bit regret not having a casing. The iphone seems very vulnerable to scratches and cracks if dropped.

Another new toy bought earlier this week. Very sinful one...

My first L lens!!!

Yet to go shooting with it!! Hee.. Sold my kit lens to Oreos. Both of us happy~

It should be a busy weekend for me, I hope I'm not lazy. =X Still not yet tidy up my room and CNY is coming. Xta's wedding videos... Edit blogskin... Bath Mimi... Omg.. Many many...

Shooting Trips

Been pretty enthusiastic with shooting photos recently because having Oreos as companion. Since yesterday, Oreos is officially known as Evilynn. She's really a very encouraging friend - over with me buying the 24-70mm! =S

Saturday shots at Chinatown... It's festive again.. Haiz..

This time did some tricks on lightings for the candid shots to bring out the subject and darken the surroundings. I love this kind of effect but there's still much more I need to improve on.

Regret not bringing Nicholas to Marina Barrage when he was here. It's really a nice place. Went with Oreos, Xta, Tri and their two attitude dogs.

I love this sight. Looking up below a uphill field against the sky creating horizon. Must improve on my shooting and go take a better shot of this scene.

Didn't really take a lot of photos over there. Overwhelmed with the scene.. LOL.. Crowded with human and kites!! Didn't know what to shoot!! Added a different hue to the photos. Next snapping trip maybe go shoot flowers!! Hee...

The 24-70mm is tickling me.. Argh!! I can sense a tendancy to commit sin.... =S
