me and the Oldie

Today I brought a camera to school. It is an old Canon digital camera which I got from my cousin. Never really touched it before though, because I (thought) I don't have any interest in photography. If only I have a lot of money to spend, I would have probably get myself a DSLR or something better than this oldie.. but well considering how much money I have left and how fast could I get bored at something, it' safer to just stick to this one, first.

Initially I was actually judging myself for bring an old camera around.. it doesn't look cool from any angle. But my perception changed after I tried taking some shots using it.....

So I was walking my way to the bus stop as usual when I saw this cute flower/plant/seed -i'm not sure what it is- laying on the road. Out of randomness, I took out my camera, thinking that probably it will look cute on photograph. I took some snaps of it alone and then take some pictures of me holding it. Too bad I didn't dare to click the capture button too many times because there are many people walking behind me on the same road. So yeah, it would be too embarrassing :p

I also took a photo of the scenery in Jurong Lake Park just beside the bus stop. It was still quite early in the morning at around 8.30 AM but the sun was shining so brightly that I could actually see a huge flare of sunlight in the photo. It turns out to be very nice especially after I did some colour editing :)

After my first day with my oldie Canon, I actually think that photography is quite interesting to explore! I'm so looking forward to go to Jurong Lake Park to take more photos of the scenery and of course to take photos of ME ! with the PhotogenicBoyzz94 -Damien- and the MillionDollarSmilegGuy -Josh- Probably would watch the way Josh takes his pictures and learn from him.. He's a good photographer -he took nice photos of me before ^^-

Here are the photos that I mentioned...

bimbos, guys and us

I've been feeling quite bubbly lately. Acting bimbotic and silly all day long. Making jokes and laugh my ass off with my awesome classmates. Life is great.

To start it off, I must admit that I love my classmates very much. Well, there are one or two weird souls, but nevermind, it kinda completes the image of a realistic class. The joker, the nerdy, the geek, the bitchy, the hard worker and mostly the slackers. Unlike most classes whereby the girls are kinda separated from the guys, my class is quite well bonded together. Well at least for me and Andala, we get along pretty well with each and every one of the guys *and also the girls, of course*. I like the fact that they actually emit this 'brother-like' feeling when they talk. Most importantly, I admire the fact that these guys are still being themselves, they don't try to act cool or whatsoever. They don't talk to you because they want you to help them with their work or to flirt on you.

It's just like friendship during the olden times...

When you're seen as an individual and not as a source or an object.

I know it's kinda lame for a considerably grown-up person to say this, but I guess I'm just classy.. I love innocence, though it barely exists anymore in this excessively realistic world..

evil

I don't care anymore. I don't even give a damn and yet I'm still trying to pick up bits and pieces about it, making things sensible to myself. The more I read the more painful it becomes. I don't know what feeling it is.. jealousy ? maybe. I don't know how long this has been growing within me, but there is hatred, grudge, and grief in my initially-innocent self. But I guess, the evil is always within each and every one of us right ? I just have to control it.. and really learn to let go of things, no matter how meaningful it was, no matter how precious it was. After all, the journey isn't about looking back right ?

Often I wonder how the future will be like. I made hard choices and sacrificed my carefree life for the sake of a better future. But would it all turn out right at the end ? Is this really the right path that I'm walking at? I don't want an ordinary life. I want a life full of passion. I don't want to end up being another slave for money, I've seen too many of them becoming one. But is it too late to think of it now ? Because I'm getting along very well with my plan, but somehow I don't feel contented..
