Xiaobai turns 3!
Xiaobai blowin out the candle on 14th Feb. Her birthday. She turns younger every year. =X haa so she claims.

Haven’t been in the best of luck at work.
The team have often been recalled to the sites; let’s blame it on bad luck. OT OT OT.
OT on weekends does harm to the brain and make people unfit for work.

The worst thing that happen to you at work.

1. Lousy Boss. 70% people leave their bosses not their jobs. (i’m not too bad, i have a good boss)
2. Stupid Customers. My company customers are project coordinators in a matter of fact; however many of them has planning skills of a donkey and i hardly see why they are even surviving in the company.
3. Poor Colleagues. I’m blessed with good ones however the newest addition to the team seems to be more of a burden than of any help. Fresh Grad? Pui. An auntie from the wet market will work more diligent and be punctual than the newbie. Seriously my dead grandmother can do better than u.
4. Get dragged down by other people’s shit. Yeah others probably didn’t do a good job and eventually everybody gets affected by this irresponsible fellow.

$$$ hard to earn these days.
Hopefully i find more time for the family, tennis and my photography… oh yeah… my certs.

ZZzzzzZzzzzzz. A dinosaur can die in front of me and i won’t even bat an eyelid when i’m totally knocked out on my comfy bed.

Check out last.fm. Love the Frank Sinatra and Elton John Radio.

I was going through my photos collection.. and i realised that other than the fact that i was always changing cameras … i was also constantly gaining weight. In no time i will look like my dad. I can’t imagine if i don’t exercise 3 or 4 times a week. My weight is constant as it gets. and it just goes up. maintains there. den go up again. Vicious cycle.

When i was thinner.

Of course, my dearest is taking the pic!

Another classic picture. Us @ the nunnery in Melbourne. The backpacker hotel heats up rooms through its heated water pipes. By dawn, you would have woke up. Simply too cold to sleep well. You see, in the morning only the earliest birds get to have a warm bath in the morning. What’s left after is simply 4-5 degrees cold water.

Us @ The Twelve Apostles (Victoria)
Date: 07 Jul 04

Jiashun used to joke that i look like some vietnamese cast straight off a drama.
Haha i guess i never get another chance having such long hair again.
yes my dear dear was perpetually freezing throughout our tour in melbourne.

Sadly, the twelve apostles are collapsing / eroded down one by one.

I leave you with the some last pics of the day.

Date Taken: 2 Jul 2004

Pic 1: Me Taking a Dip into the Sand. Bloody instructor fooled me with his silly tricks.
Pic 2: Us attempting the slide down
Pic 3: We Came, We Slided, We Conquered!

Tata for the night!

I got a pleasant surprise on the first day of 2009.
It will be a wonderful 2009.

Went photographing on the streets on Saturday for 11 hours.
with breaks of course. damn tiring with my heavy workhorse.
people shun you whenever they spot a big barrel at them.

Hmm did you actually know as long you are in public place anybody can take a picture of you. (with the exception of outrage of modesty incidents of course)

anyway kids don’t seem to bother.
I should start a portfolio all on kids. just kids. and only kids.
There could only be innocence in the little one. unless he/she is an absolute devil.

10 Dec 2008 Oops i did it again
 |  Category: Life, Photography  | Leave a Comment

Not knowingly i failed to update my status again. Nay you wouldn’t bother anyway

Anyway, i have been busy at work.
The very period of December last year was spent chit-chatting with colleagues as we await the arrival of Santa Claus jumping into our hdb flats. It wasn’t so this year. The new tender made it impossible for us to be idling. Most of the time it was reporting, reporting and more reporting.

Danny got married last week. boy i was like the hair stylist (yeah style the hair only) for 3 other chaps so it was kinda of tiring. Well it was worth it for our primary school friend. Danny is a nice guy so hopefully he dun get bullied by his wife often. lol.
It’s nice to see my primary school friends again; always nice to chat about the old times.
Eugene offered to organise the next gathering; hopefully it come soon. not in another 2 years delay.

Anyway it will be a busy month but nevertheless i find time for everything and everyone.
=D i have gotten a new photography workhorse and hopefully i get to dig deep and know everything about this new gadget. Waiting to shoot with colleagues and Thon soon.

Thon have been shooting in B&W; and in stealth mode. Unaware uncles and aunties in Chinatown, please be alerted, someone may be taking your photo! smack him hard with your wooden slippers k!
hahaha. It’s irritating when i can barely take a picture without anybody noticing me. my cam isn’t the smallest around. argh.

alright back to work.
gotta ‘analyze’ surfing behaviour once more.
ciao.

I leave u with a few photos from danny’s big morning.

26 Sep 2008 A Worthy Opponent to the Dark Side
 |  Category: Photography, Weddings  |  Tags: ,  | 2 Comments

Seriously anybody who want to share any gossips with me, please go ahead.
Like somebody got a fling, or have a shot gun wedding coming up. I’m out of gossips to tell my girl.

Good times ahead.
If the video is true. 6400 iso still usable. that would really be one cool machine.
Oh yeah. imagine your wedding photographer can take photos while in the midst of shooting a video of you and your other half. cool huh.

Bebbs Review

Bebbs - Canon 5D Mark II review from StillMotion on Vimeo.

Been a really busy week even though i’m not at work. Courses. Helping out with brother with the new house. Certifications to take.

5 years ago, i just graduated and was looking for a job. Times flies.
What do you imagine yourself to be in 5 years time?

22 Sep 2008 Evolution came… but was it an evolution afterall?
 |  Category: Photography  |  Tags: , ,  | One Comment

The moon was full but only after 2 days later the much anticipated announcement came in a manner most canon fans wasn’t expecting. Most would want something that beat the crap out of the dark side. The rest wanted the godly DSLR for the price of a cheap FF. Dreamers are we?

Well, it wasn’t made to compete with Nikon equivalent it seemed.
It was to be a landscape/wedding cam. So your photographer and videographer is all in one? haha my guess those brides out there excited what they are hearing. Cheap bargain you must be thinking.

Well it is a good camera for holidays actually. good exposed places , nice landscape and video to capture those interesting events.

5D MarkII

So DSLRs will be equipped with videos in the future but was that an evolution? The dark side began the evolution in that case.

As for now i am reserving my final reviews for the 5d Mark II till i lay my hands on one alongside with the dark side FX d700.

if markII dun impress me, you may see me with one of this soon.
D700

Life is getting a little mundune. Anybody with new gossips? lol.
Oh yeah realise SearchSG.org is no longer around.

Going for course for 2 weeks.
Hopefully i can clear 3 papers in 2 weeks. Wish me luck.

14 Sep 2008 When is the moon FULL?
 |  Category: Life, Photography  | Leave a Comment

Full Moon Soon?

When a journal stops being updated, few would actually drop by.
so today is a good day to rant a little, change a new theme and perhaps some chaps may notice.

Life have been good since i last blogged.
Back at work, been given a new project to implement so it’s been pretty interesting.

I’m hoping to be certified to be MCSE and MCTS in exchange by Jan 09 so i gotta be a part-time student for the rest of this year. Well, for a start i’m a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist in Vista for now. haha Thon was wondering why in the hell must some one be certified in Vista? Just part of the MCSE modules and it will be good for those working in desktop support roles.
hmmm you must be yawning. IT talk dun go well with most people.

Today is Eve and Junyong wedding dinner and the food at Qian Xi wasn’t too bad afterall.
Well i kinda think other than the shark-fins, the food is pretty decent than most of the wedding banquets in the local hotels. Wish them all the best when they go back to Seattle in a week or so.

I’m still waiting for the moon to show more.
Don’t really wanna join the dark side even though i got no preferences for brands.
Taking whatever that provides the best for my buck.
Some financial forecast (my bank) tells me the earliest time to have a new body is end Dec 08.

After that i must find time for the hobby.
After all in July 09, i will be heading for another good holiday.

Tadaaa. I’m going to knock out.

03 Jan 2008 Let Us Shine
 |  Category: Life  | Leave a Comment

Caught Akeelah & The Bee on the movie channel on SH.

It set me thinking when Dr Larabee asked Akeelah to read out a quote that was hanging on the wall.

Akeelah: [quoting Marianne Williamson] Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
Dr. Larabee: Does that mean anything to you?
Akeelah: I don’t know.
Dr. Larabee: It’s written in plain English. What does it mean?
Akeelah: That I’m not supposed to be afraid?
Dr. Larabee: Afraid of what?
Akeelah: Afraid of… me?

The original quote was actually by Marianne Williamson from her book A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others

We need a little spiritual healing at times don’t we? ;)
