Weekends so short

I have got so many things lined up for my weekends, and each weekend, I just kept postponing them to the next week. I didn’t even have time for my camera. Busy with clearing my IPT, busy with cash, busy with reading, busy with work. Erm…busy with work? Ok, busy with breeding fishes.
Yes, I did and I restart the whole hobby again.
I am in need of more cash and that is my new objective; I am seeking other means to make myself richer.
1. Breed more fishes and sell them away.
2. Hoping someone will hire me to take pictures of their new born, their house, themselves?
3. Buy abit of 4D and cross my fingers I get a payout ratio of 1:100.

Okay all these are just my wishful thoughts. Think I should just go do my work properly and wait for the bonus or increment to come like each and everyday.

Pictures I took while I was halfway typing this entry. I just couldn’t bear the thought that I spend quite a lot on my gadgets and not touching them at all.







Oh congrats to Closet-elves for opening their online blog shop tonight.
Do give them a visit http://closet-elves.livejournal.com/

P.S, the nicer pictures are taken by me. The not so nice pictures shouldn't be me. Haha

Spending and spending

I have been spending and spending more than I can save. Each time I spend, my mum will ask me to spend on her as well. I call this splurging.
Worse part, my career is not advancing; I am purely sitting and waiting for it to progress. Each day I wait for my promotion, I cross my fingers hoping that the increment is significant, during weekends hoping for some 4D luck. Oh gosh, yes I am a human who is being impractical and these are called unrealistic.
Please don’t ask me why I don’t work hard for them but spend time thinking. I did and I tried, but like mum says, all these are your destiny.
I am just so tired and sick about interview session and all the sweet talking to the panel of judges. I gave it for most of these sessions an 8/10 but life isn’t fair.
Because I am not the one who DECIDE and the one who make the CHOICE!

Anyway, life in office is pretty quiet, peaceful and comfortable. So much so I missed the times of those stressful and challenging works. I think I would have forgotten that I am being paid working each day too.

Sigh. I can’t believe I am writing a rather depressing entry today and this must be the influence from meeting Petty at airport. So coincidentally bump into her at the escalator.

Roses are Red?

Roses Roses


We adore you


One is never enough


And a bundle makes people envious


And when red roses starts to fade


it loses it shines


And when its left with just one petals, no one will remember how it once looks like.

Waterfall and Down Streams

Ever wonder why people go through the hazard to get themselves a DSLR when point and shoot are getting better and smaller? The most common question everyone asks is “How many megapixel is your camera?” Apparently, this has been set as a mark by many people to differentiate how good the camera is. And if you ask me, yes, it does make a difference to your camera and the quality of the picture but it is only the one out of many factors and definitely not the main factor for a picture to turn out great.

Trust me, if not, you can easily get a Casio Exlim 15 megapixel camera and use that to compare with the quality of the pictures taken by any Canon or Fujifilm camera with a lower megapixel.

Okay back to the discussion why would people love to carry a DSLR when it’s heavier, much more expensive, need to switch lenses for different purpose while you can get macro etc on a compact, the need to carry lots of props for just a shooting session and many other reasons that I am unable to list down here one by one.

However, I feel that the only reason why would people want to go thru so much effort for a photo is the fact that they wanted control over their photographs.

Let the picture do the talking then. Other than cropping, I have done nothing else to process these pictures.










The beauty of having the control over the shutter speed.

Revisiting Botanic Garden

The first visit to Botanic garden was with Lainey which was 3 months ago. Back then, I just bought my Canon Ixus 870 and was really a newbie in photography. After 3 months, I revisited Botanic garden with my DSLR. Hopefully, you guys can gauge if I did improved over time.

Finally after 2 shooting session, I managed to get use to my Tammy lens justifying it’s capability and quality.


Look at the sharpness and the depth of field beside the flowers. The IQ picked up pretty easily on its focus point.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!

My main purpose for this trip was to capture the many water streams and waterfalls in the park and I did. I will save those for my next entry.
