New Camera on the Block

Oh yeah, I just got a new camera to boot.

The specs are as below:

Powered by Canon’s latest proprietary DIGIC 4 imaging processor, PowerShot SX10 IS features a powerful 10megapixel CCD sensor, manual controls and an impressive 20x wide (28mm) super telephoto lens with OIS. The Hot Shoe adapter also allows attachment to selected Canon’s Speedlite EX Series external flashes.


Will update with my own pic when I have one. Picture taken from www.digitalcamerareview.com

Life down the road.

So ever since I started work, what has changed in my life?

Every morning i wake up to the cool morning air in my air-con room. I dragged myself off the bed, and wish that I've someone to give a morning hug to. Not my parents or siblings of course...they would cringe if I did that. Someone...special.

Then i will go take a queue number, and wait for my little brother to finish his 30min bath, which is for a teen, ridiculously long! Once I'm done, its off to work, and back to the rat race. I squeeze up the bus, seeing all the stony faces of the office workers on their way to work. Then I'll queue with the clowns who started the trend of queueing for 'Today' and 'My Paper'. An awful, bad joke from life in Melbourne. Then I'll hit the MRT. And start seeing the everyday sight of the fugly Singaporeans. Singaporeans for once, relish in giving aid and care to foreign countries and showing that we care.

But in the early morning, no one gives a bloody damn. They would sit in the priority seats, pretending to doze off, talk on the phone, look busy, while the poor old lady/man, pregnant auntien struggle to keep themselves balanced throughout the journey. Even those who are seated, look to those in the 'priority' seats to get up when asked. Are seats supposed to be named and given a sign for the older folks to use..? The problem doesn't lie with the seats, but with the people. Sometimes they aren't necessary Singaporeans, maybe they are our SEA neighbours, or PRC Chinese who don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. When the going gets tough, every man for himself.. the ideology of the selfish homosapien.

Then I reach my office...fast forward to the foyer. Buy my usual bee hoon + egg+ chicken chop = breakfast. Of course, including my mentor-induced Kopi+C. Then I trot off to the pantry, makan and to work.

Gotta start setting my new year resolutions.

But Firstly, things in mind.
1. Find a day to bring my girlfriend to meet my grandmother.
2. Find a day to bring my girlfriend to meet my parents when she is comfy with the idea.
3. Find a day to go for a photoshoot with Nani and friends on Singapore's architecture wonders.
4. Find a day to bring sister to look at universities of choice.
5. Find a day to make couple accessories with Jenny.
6. Find a day to design couple wear with Jenny.
7. Find a day to pack my bag for Hongkong.
8. Find a day to get a bbq outing with friends.
9. Find a day to pass books to Junwei.

Now for resolutions:

1. Work harder, work smarter.
2. Sleep more than 5 hours a day.
3. Exercise more than 2x a week.
4. Go aikido at least 2x a week.
5. More initiative at work please.
6. Mix better with my colleagues.
7. Establish contact with lost friends.
8. Maintain conact with existing friends.
9. Make more friends.
10. Save more money for rainy days.

梁山伯與朱麗葉.

Just went to Ktv on Saturday with my dear.

Seriously, I don't really sing any duet songs, but there was one such song that she encouraged me to sing with her. So now I'm dedicating this song to her for that remembrance.



I know she will love this. I just know it.

Pictures from the weekend.

In the end, I only managed to blog today. Yup, I'm now busy in my course now. Listening to the instructor teach us more about using the software that is given to us.

I met my dear for dinner at my favorite restaurant, Ma Maison at Bugis Junction. I really love the ambiance of the restaurant, wonder how about her?

I hope she liked it as much as me, and not think about who I have went there with before. We took some pics at the local neoprint shop there, with one very disastrous result. And 1 set of happy pictures. Could see that she loved that pic that we took...

pictures coming up soon.

A sweet voice to make someone smile.

Sometimes, somewhere out there...

A guy needs to find better ways of making his girlfriend feel special to him. So what should he do? Personally, I believe that no amount of money spent would be able to replace the most precious thing that a pair of lovers have to share. And that is:

Time.

Time is so scarce in Singapore nowadays. no time for love, as what the people around often say. But once love is gone, everyone starts forgetting what was once all-important in their goals for that missing part of living things.

Which is, the ability to love.

Anything in the Earth shares this ability. The human beings, animals, insects and lets not forget the plants around us. But lets not forget that love can develop out of nothingness. Time is the crucial ingredient for it to grow. But time for Singapore is so short, for me too, it is really so short. I hardly have the time to sleep peacefully, go out, and to make someone special. I can only choose one of them.

But I've found a way to change this. And this is through communication, comunicating to each other in a manner that makes time seem non-existence, and the feeling eternal. By doing this, one's heart might start to falter or beat really fast, due to the overwhelming amount of feelings 'deposited' into the talk of the day.

Does someone out there agree with me?
