Busy weekend. Celebrated Sammy’s & Zx birthday on 28 till 0400 in the morning, slept for few hours before meeting Kelvin out for breakfast at his place. Right after that rushed to Bedok to attended Dragonboat festival! Kelward participated in the race as always so went there to support him and his team with Hx & liling. Planned to shoot some interesting photos or close-up of Kelward in action but turn out to be an unavailing one. Reason is I’m not equipped with the correct lens for sports at that distance, almost impossible. Although didn’t manage to take any satisfactory photos, the trip is still worthwhile, race is awesome! Makes me want to row too! Last day of the month, I just want to rest awhile longer then usual, tomorrow is a brand new month and I’m going full speed!

Reading Karen Cheng’s Snippets of Life is like a routine to me, embedded into my brain and become a “to-do” whenever I surf at my free time. It started few years back, I couldn’t remember exactly when, maybe as old as Callum. At that time the site was running on a 2 column HTML, very neat work and I was totally attracted to it like a magnet on a fridge. I was still schooling back then when I stumbled upon this blog while searching for a free host to host my blog and since then I couldn’t stop.

One of her post says, Doing The Karen Cheng in Singapore. How cool is it? Karen coming to Singapore in a few days time. This is interesting and and so I joined the facebook group. Come along with your camera and 10bucks for Singapore RedCross! Most importantly… meet the Karen Cheng!

Been looking for a watch that suit my taste for years! I told many that I don’t have the habit of wearing watch, I don’t want a watch-mark on my wrist, I cannot afforda watch, I got a cellphone to check my time or even I’m allergic to watch! But none of this is true, I’m just waiting to find that watch. And this is the one. I saw it on the display, that’s it, ask the assistant and paid the price. 5 minute I left the shop.

I like it simple, metallic, black inside and automatic, meaning does not require a battery to operate. This watch will be with me forever.

Ended the short 6 months contract with M1 wireless, didn’t regret signing up this device because its portable and I make full use of this device completely! Before I get this plan, I ended my standard broadband plan, reason being I can save more money and get a decent Internet connection anywhere I go. I brought it to work with my laptop, using it as my permanent connection. I thought my usuage per month will drop alot but surpisingly my usage is around 10gig – 15gig a month! Amazing isn’t it? With just a 512kb/s my usage can go up to that much. Ha… I know some of you having the best plan connection plan and using so little a month, so wasteful! Check out the speed!

So far I didn’t see or hear any good feedback about this service but seriously I’m okay and happy with the device and the connection although sometimes web page load extremely slow, MSN messages cannot get through, serious lag when playing MMORPG… etc. But its cheap. S$22 for 1mb/s and its portable! When everyone outside struggling to leech the lousy free wireless Hotspot, I’m already connected!

Haven’t decide what plan to sign up yet, meanwhile I will stay offline and do my self study to become a 3D Architectural Visualiser! I need more stress please!!!

I don’t really know why but I will visit a bookstall or stationary shop while I’m out for shopping. I’m not like a bookworm but I like books and stationary! It doesn’t make senses, I know. Perhaps its a habit that started way back when I’m still a school kid visiting the school bookshop during recess as that is the only “shop” that sell other things than food. Not sure if its still like that now, but at least during my time, its like that, food stall or stationary shop. Sound pretty sad isn’t it? But I’m not hating it. In fact I find it exciting now to see and test the latest stationary especially those from Japan. Their invention and ideas are wicked and I LOVE IT!

Today I visited the MPH City link Mall. I like that place a lot not because of the collection or the location, I like it just that its not crowded with people or book. The books there are enough for me to browse and I won’t get “excuse me”, “sorry” every minute while browsing the books, having that really irritate me a lot. Browsing through the Hobby section, Photography, I found this book (Photos That Inspire: Photo Workshop) and I love it. I stood there for an hour or so browsing, in fact reading the entire book! This is not a wordy book that list out all the functions and theories of photography or some experts sharing their views and field experiences in words telling you what to do when you see this and that so I manage to finish the book pretty fast. If you like photography and you have a chance to read this book, you can flip any page you will see pictures that inspire you! Its packed with photos, each expressing the photographer’s thought and displaying the moment. There is also description of the setting, what inspired the idea, and what the photo was intended to accomplish, along with the technical details like camera and lens used, shutter speed, aperture, and lighting, this book is exactly what I want from a photography book!
