Loves talking. on and on and on. blogs about almost everything and anything. sometimes it might pain to read what she writes. IM A NERD, and a shopping NERD to make things worse.

Mr Kenji Nagai was still trying to use his camera after he was shot?

I wonder if I were him, I'd go that close. Was it the journalist in him?

Another memorable photo, I wonder which brave journalist took this.

+ all those blood spilling and shooting should stop. It's a peace protest for god's sake. I can't help feeling angry seeing all these reports. And it saddens me because I seriously think Mr Nagai looks like a nice man.

:(

I'm deeply grateful to those techies in my subcomm because sadly, miss moon can only provide art direction for our online portal. After a few weeks, tech talk still sounds like Greek to me, and css, html, php, ftp blah blah blah looks more like arabic scripts. It's a wonder how these boys seem to grow up with all these acronyms deeply embedded in their world, whereas girls like me only recognise words like Prada, Gucci, D&G. It's a serious generalisation, and I might get slam by tech girls out there, but you can't deny it's true, guys are more inclined to know these stuff. It's called socialisation.

Gosh, those expressway's names must be thought up by some techie guy. PIE, CTE, AYe....It would have been disastrous if you got a girl to do the naming. I would have called them "The Escape Route", "The Tunnel of Love",or even "The Road to Rome". We would always kill to have cheesy terms as road names. It would have been easier to remember too. It's called branding. HAHAHA. (laughing at my own joke, how embarassing)

Anyway, the web revamp is not completely done. We can't really call it a revamp either, because all those are minor changes we've done. Look into it, and see what else we can do. :) Meanwhile, i'm undecided regarding shoppin on Sat. Should I or Should I not????

having a bad stomachache, and life's less than a bed of roses now. :(

(Read at your own risk. Don't be eating something)

so much for toilet humour. I nearly sprain my neck while trying to shit. And it ain't funny at all. I spent an agonising hour in the toilet trying to get da shit out. MY GOD. And they always use "that's a piece of shit" when they're trying to say "that's as easy as ABC." Lemme tell you, this piece wasn't easy, it gave me hell of a hard time back in there.

Just a vent of frustrations.

Editorial meeting on tue finally settled, lucky it doesn't clash with the web revamp meeting. And i've finally finished Jolin's album review. Phew. Anyway, i quite love the new album. It grew on me. And i can't help dancing like siao char bor when i hear that techno song. HOHOHO. Go go sister go go brother. SSM, when we're back in our room, i dance let you see. HAHAHA.

Still wondering if i have the ability to zi high for 3 mins for the GL interview. SHIT!

Eating Subway was a reminder that I was in the comforts of my own home, however absurd it may seem to you. Sweet onion sauce is the epitome of a comforting sense of belonging. Pickles and onions indicated that the choice was mine. The smell of the Italiano bread was a reminiscence of what was old, and a confirmation of what was to come.

It was a week of un-Subway like nightmarish experiences. Studying til the wee hours wasn't the usual practice. Timetable slots were filled and events collided like how trains would. It was blood curdling and brain meshing. It is however, discomforting to know that there would be further replicas of such nightmares. They might become more haunting. I would have to be the exorcist that diminishes these occurences. I can be the exorcist.

I know, being poetic doesn't help matters.

But, dreams are often translucent and nightmares as vivid as the colours of a HDTV.

I'm head over heels in love with these beautiful lyrics:

陈绮贞-雨天的尾巴
词曲:陈绮贞

雨天的手牵著你的衣袖

雨天的温柔总是选错拥挤时候

雨天的小指头骚动我虚有的乡愁

雨天的尾巴让夕阳牵著走

春天的手帕一拍晒乾的枕头

夏天的温柔躲在你的画框不走

秋天的小指头点亮了小镇的烟火

冬天的尾巴摩擦爱人的双手

雨天的手啊牵著你的衣袖

雨天的温柔总是选错拥挤时候

雨天的小指头骚动我虚有的乡愁

雨天的尾巴拍打浪花一朵朵

雨天的尾巴让夕阳牵著走

我的青春是否你也牵著走

写作是一种宣发。

情绪的宣发,感想的宣发。

笔就是我的哈里波特魔棒,纸就是那奇特的魔幻世界。我挥动魔棒,原本空白的世界变得多姿多彩。我是魔术师,而文字是我变出来的把戏。

这一生,好像怎样都离不开纸和笔……

My mum was complainin about me being a tech geek the other day. She thought that the stuff that I do are all boy's play, the gadgets that i deal with are all boys' toys. I couldn't agree more. She gaped when she saw how i managed the tripod with ease, sher gaped when she saw the dua3 gi1 lens i attached to the camera body, she gaped whenever she sees me deal with photog stuff.

Yesterday, Vincent was teachin me all the web admin stuff. Another geeky thing. Im becoming a geek nerd. But all those stuff are kinda easy, once you get the hang of it. Trying to better master photoshop, since all i know now are the basics. But i don't have 7.0 on my laptop, which is a waste, photoshop elements is kinda sucky. (geek talk)

Videography is quite close to photography. At least some of the skills i have in photog can be applied the same way. I hope learnin all these stuff early, i might lead an easier life in cs.

By the way, you should really ask for my autograph, i might be a great photojourn one day and it might come in handy. LOL. Im always jokin that I want to do overseas reporting in Iraq, Afghanistan and places like that (you get the drift), so i might die early (choy), and the photos will appreciate in price.

Seow Si Min has the upper hand, since i leave all my photos and portfolio in the hall room. She might be a billionaire overnight, so stick close to her.

The power of imagination,
Moon.

that's my baby. he's damn hardcore.

the grip is good. the feel is good. overall, im happy with him. it's a him, because it's SEXY. oops. goin mad.

i think i caught the influenza from my afroangel. the virus of short sentences. they're not even sentences.

Great bargains at the comex. thought the package for d40x was way more enticing compared to d80, although i can hardly afford the d80. it might be a case of sour grapes. But im satisfied, really. OKOK, for the time being.

My first project would be for the SPH new media project on Getai photography. More photos on deviant. WEEEEE.

I went getai the other day too. FUN.



Next up would be the Lantern Extravaganza at Chinese Garden i hope. Anyone interested? Ah Hua? SSM? Or any new photography enthusiasts?

Feel like im living the life of a reporter now. Because there are deadlines to meet. Though i earn peanuts, and the deadlines are not really tight. Being part of the SPH and Nanyuan stuffs is really exciting me. Because i just love to write, especially in Chinese. 我是说真的.

JCRC stuff started too. This week. :):):)

startin the new era of short sentences,
moon with love. full stop.
