A Saturday

Hi there ppl,

Its a damn hot Saturday for me.
Why is the weather tat freaking hot?
Well, today meet up with Girl after 2 weeks.
Woah her hair has grown so much since then, maybe its time for a hair cut?
But she say is long enough to tie them up like a bun.
Well, met her for lunch. Today is the first time that I ate my food that slow. Even she also noticed that, well tats because we are talking most of the time while eating the meal. Was telling her about the trip to Redang. You ppl should know bout it right.......... oh dun shake that head of yours. Telling her about the sunburn, the interesting things that happen during the trip. Even talked about how sea sick I was while sitting the ferry to Redang. So malu.
Well seems that she also have been ages since she sat on a boat. She is wondering if she can take it for the future trip that required her to be on a ferry.
Now is the midst of her exam, I wish her good luck and pass with flying colour. I noticed that today, we talked alot more than usual over a meal. Maybe is because there is interesting things that happened and able to talk about it.
The funny part is that during the journey to meet her, I was running late so i assume that I maybe able to bump into her on the train while reaching the destination. And true enough, she board the train at the location which I knew she would. Upon see her at the platform, I move to the carriage which she will be stepping into. The moment she stepped in she saw me, and was quite shocked. Seeing her smile, and her messy hair due to the wind. At that moment she looked like she has been studying so hard that the hair was messy and uncombed.
After the lunch, walked around and bought some groceries. Carried back to her place and went off to Bugis where the National Library was located.
Doing a research on Tattoo for my project by my part time course. This is the last semester of my course though and yah this can be considered my final project. Sad and Malu to say that this is the first time I step into the library from the last project thesis that i have to do for my project in Australia.
And sad to say that all my books are in the reference section which means that I am unable to borrow them out. I din even know that I am not allowed to bring writing materials into the library. What is this rule. No paper but laptop.
Well, went in found the book and used the small pieces of paper that is found at the computer for us to search for the book that we want.
Read and took some small notes and bang i shoot off the place like a bullet. Have to go back again with my Lappie.
Wat an Experience.
Sad thing is that I have send in my fossil watch for repair due to the chain gave way. At that time, the girl at the service centre told me that they will have to contact the HQ if the chain is still obtainable, so I agreed to leave it there and allow them to call me to pick it up. After like 3 months, they called me which is like 2 days ago. Was hoping that the watch can be repaired but they told me that the chain was out of production and could not be repaired. Upon hearing this, I felt very moody as that was the fav watch. :(
So today while was at Bugis Junction, went to G-shock to look at the one watch which caught my attention. It was the watch that was use to promote the redbull race. Cannot see the name of the model though. It was so perfect except for the price of it, about 400. Staring at the price and the watch, I reluctantly left the shop.
Guess will have to stick do with the current watch I am wearing. Very light as compared to ny fav watch.

Why Why Why

No $$
have to save. yah an all in the insurance company as i have signed up for the saving plan.
If only I can get some cash out from them to buy that watch. ( I think is Mission impossible)

Well, guess will have to see me wearing it in my dreams then.

Till next time.

Trip to Redang



Hi ppl,

Back from my trip to Redang from wednesday nite till yesterday.
It was both a happy and sad trip.
Happy in the way that I got to take a rest, outing to the place that I have been to again but with my trustee DSLR, accompany by friends. Sad is that shoots taken are not that fantastic, sun burnt. Now my back is an exact replica of the back of a steamed lobster, "RED".
The day that we reach Kuala Trengganu it was raining heavily. Waiting for the agent to arrive to pass us the tickets for the ferry to Redang Beach Resort, the place that we will be staying. Finally the hour came for us to board the ferry. Board the ferry and was disturbed by a gang of JB Ah Bengs and Lians. Speaking loudly singing out loud. That was ok, the most furstrating things was that 1 of them owns a Canon 50D DSLR. I was feeling unjustice for that camera, from the way that he is holding it, the shots he take. Argh damn, I think a compact camera will be fine for him. but what the hack, he is rich I can conclude.
A 2 hrs ferry trip to the island, and to think that I am ok with the sea sick thingy. Wrong, i am not, feel naueous. Started to breath deeply. Soon reach the transit point, where we have to transfer to a smaller ferry in.
In the rough sea, the small ferry made the way to the island. Checked in, and had out lunch before waiting patiently for the announcement to be made for the snorkeling activity to begin. Praying so hard and sincere that the weather will be fine for the activity. And truely enough at 2.30pm the annoucement was broadcast, like children going to the playground, with high spirits we marched down to the snorkeling centre to get the equipments and listen to the briefing by the staff, KAI. A very funny and tanned guy.
The first sentence that came out was"Today arrival guest piss come here." The malaysian slang, and the action made the tensed atmosphere loosen up. There one things that he said" If you lose the snorkeling mask it cost Ringgit 100 only, the life vest, Ringgit 100 only, breathing tube, Ringgit 100.......", you guessed it ONLY. Imgaine saying that with the particular malaysian english slang and you will be laughing.

FInally the word that all of us there were waiting for, "Today Arrival Guest Piss board the blue ship". Orderly we proceed to the boat, and the snorkeling adventure begins.
Diving into the clear bluegreen ocean, like entering another world of garden. The view of the corals were magnificant. Me and a friend was surrounded by a school of needle fish. Circling round us, what a view. Too bad, do not have the underwater camera. The divers, brought out a sea cucumber the length of my arm and the size of my fist.
Throughout the 3 days 2 nites, was nothing but eat and snorkeling. I think I have grown fat and worst SUNBURNT.
Ouch Ouch Ouch.
Well, it was worth the sunburnt to see such beautiful views.
The most happy thing was that I saw the sunrise. The anticipating for the rays of the suns to greet u on the face was just stunning. Nite was also stunning, clear blue sky lit up by the moonlight. Rays of the moonlight reflected on the calm sea, with occasional waves. Peace in the nite, but that was when there is no beach party blasting with the loud techno, pop, rNb music and especially the MACARANA Dane redang Style.
Its really a very romantic place at night. In the morning, when the activity has yet started it is a moment of peace and tranquility.

Another ............

What a week it has been.
Raining sunny raining again sunny again.
Back to going to gym and Man do I feel good when I go to gym.
Torturing myself, working out, sweating as if I just came out from the shower, its good.
A way to de-stress myself.
Counting down the days to the my first trip back to a place that I have been too during my poly days, and unfortunately I fell sick there. Horrible and could not enjoy much.
But this time round, hell am I going to get sick. Happy with a bit of disappointment. Happy yes going on vacation, disappointment having to miss the Macro Shoot outing by Singapore Photographers. And my lecturer is tempting me by saying all the pics taken that day will be posted up, with all those magnificent pics, close up views/shoots. Argh I am tempted.
Consoling myself, I have to buck up on the shoots I will be taking at the destination.

Yesterday, girl will be having her exams soon and quite stress out about it since she has no break therefore she has to keep studying. Din go out much, just had lunch and some shopping for the groceries near her area. That was after my gym session. Raining heavily after meeting her, went to Taka to look around for sister's birthday cake. Finally found 1, that is from Bakerz Inn. A small yet delicate looking one.


Today, was a photo outing. Went to Little India for the shoot and was very fruitful.
Got to practice what we have learned.
Looking forward for the critique session tomorrow.
Yeah Yeah Yeah.
After that, went with lecturer and friends to Newton Circles Food Court for some dinner.
First time there though, first impression was not bad although the constant reports of the hawkers over charging the customers.
Had sugar cane juice and fried rice( oily, super oily)
Went home and then prepare for the torture week to begin.
Till next time.
