A day at Zoo with them..

The last visit to the zoo was 2-3 years back and i think it was together with my aunt and cousin when they visited us.
This time round, we revisited the place again since i managed to book the zoo pass.

Greeted by the Macaw parrots at the entrance

New Year Resolution

I had a good year in 2010 where all the good things came my way. I got a promotion, i met lotsa friends and i had a great working team. So basically, my social and working life are well balanced! I made 6 memorable trips this year and i experienced alot!

Bidding farewell to Year 2010 and welcoming the new 2011, i hope the following will happen,
1)Having bad health in the last month of year 2010, i hope i will be healthy in the coming year! Yeap, i cancelled all plans on the eve of new year just to rest at home. (Don't wish to be sick on Day 1)

2)I had enough fun in Yr 2010, so in Yr 2011, i hope i can focus more in my work. Get a good career and learn more while i can. No more Skiving!

3)I spent alot in my hobbies and travels. So much so, i didnt really save much, so the coming year, i will be more conscientious in my spending.

4)I love travelling, and i have already made plans for next year trip. New places, new travelling mates and new experience!

Hopefully the next year will be a fruitful year for everyone!

The Book Depository

I am so convinced and satisfied with the service of this online bookstore that i decided to do a sudden random blog entry for it.

Few weeks back, i wanted to get some photography magazine and Popular was selling them so expensive even after a 10% discount. My younger sis then mentioned to me this online bookstore that was featured in 8days and that how the writer greatly recommended buying from there! With all the low retail price, the discount and free shipment.
Well, i did browsed through the website but didn't get any. Somehow i think the urge to buy the book was replaced with some other purchases that i did..haha

Recently, while i am trying to find a picture of the national geographic magazine picture that i wanted to buy through Elyz at Kino, i came across this bigger version book.. call "Sacred place of a Lifetime"..and Elyz told me this book cost roughly about $70-80 and that it was not available locally.
And so happen Book depository was giving a discount for this book which cost USD $37.

Received on the 15th day

My first roll of film on Black Bird Fly

Ever since i bought my scanner, i wanted so much to try a roll of film to get the sprocket holes effect on my photo.
I was even more tempted when i flipped through Shireen's picture. She was so talented in this area.

I was lucky when Weihsuan offered to lend me his blackbirdfly for my trial testing. So i had a roll loaded and here are the results!

Cant really get used to manual exposure, ended up most pictures were over exposed.
