It’s a Spending Week!

Well, or rather, it’s a spending DAY.

While at Marina Square on Friday night, I happened to walk past Cathay Photo, which happened to be open. And so, I went in, and enquire on Canon 17-55mm F2.8 lens. Price was alright, and so, bought it!

That was equally fast compared to how fast I got my EOS7D a few weeks ago. It seems that I am moving towards the direction of quality photography. LOL.

Haven’t got the chance to really test out the lens yet, but I guess that will be soon.

Reason why I got that lens? I was hunting around for a lens suitable for taking wedding-related photos. F2.8 is not a bad aperture size, and given the constant aperture throughout the zoom range, why not? Actually, I was also considering prime lens, but I don’t really like the idea of a fixed distance. Indeed, with a 18MP camera, that is not a problem as I can photoshop and crop the picture, but then, I don’t really like to unnecessarily enhance the photos that I have taken.

Taking photos can be interesting and challenging, especially at night.

Anyway, it was a crazy night. Ate at Waraku, then coffee at TCC, then K-Box, then Mustafa, then Swee Choon, then home.

Bought breakfast home. When I reached home, my parents were already awake. The time was around 6.30am. LOL.

Due to that, I nua the whole day away. All my initial plans were gone, and I was just too lazy to do any other thing, and so, I drifted in and out of sleep many times.

Yeah. I love my room. I love my bed. LOL!

人生,要经历多少个错,才能有个对?

或者,到底什么是对,什么是错? 或者,是谁说的算?

——————————————————————————————-

我最讨厌人家说类似以下的话…

“我已知道会发生这种事了,只是当时我没有说出来,是为了让你们经历这过程。”

马后炮。

——————————————————————————————-

错的人。错的举动。错的决定。就当作是一种经验,别重蹈覆辙了。天空是如此的广阔。

希望人们能找到对的。

那问题又来了:什么是对,什么是错?

——————————————————————————————

我?我想,一个人,还是最自由的。我想,也许,这就是我真正要的生活:无忧无虑,想到哪里,就到哪里。没有束缚,没有压力,没有顾虑。

当一个人,碰上一个对的人,是谁决定那就是对的人?相反的,当一个人,碰上一个错的人,那又是由谁决定的?

难道。。。

是时间?

。。。

也许吧。

爱让人伟大 (《乐在双城》 片尾曲) 歌词

希望我没有听错。如有错字,敬请原谅。。。 (你也可以留言通知我一下下 ^.^)

——————————————————————————–

爱让人伟大

作词:乐声
作曲/编曲:乐子
主唱:吴惠冰
制作:麦如丽

谁说沙漠不能开出鲜艳的花 谁说幸福只是一个神话
如果爱他 大声出心理的话 遗憾留别人 我从不收下

就算天塌 我们用爱去 修补它 这个世界 没有谁比谁差
就像快乐 永远只有一个方法 那就是 相信他 相信他

不去管那些真假 不理会谁在说话
爱 让每个人都变得伟大
不去管什么代价 只想要爱得潇洒
将那 冰雪都融化

Do I really want to go down this path (again)?

My friends just like to guess a lot of things. For example, when I ask them to buy things for me, especially woman’s stuffs, they will start to think far ahead *tsk tsk tsk*. When I want to send something out of Singapore, they will start asking me: To where? For who? For girl is it?

Of course, all these are normal questions. LOL. I myself will ask these questions too.

Maybe they are right, maybe they are wrong. I myself don’t have the answer too. I just think, really, do I want to go down this path? Again?

I don’t have the answer now. Maybe I will. Soon.

As I said before, one will be scared of knives, if he/she has gone through a bad enough cut.

They said that 失败乃成功之母. But really, having gone through those experiences and negative results, I think, maybe, I should just hang up my boots and off my radar. Or maybe, I am trying to find, but my head doesn’t give the approval. LOL. I am blind. I can’t see.

也许,我还没碰到一个真正懂得欣赏我的人吧。也许,这一辈子,也可能碰不到。

。。。

也许我会忘记,也许会更想你。也许,已没有也许。。。。 (怎么变成歌词了?! 哈哈!!!)

If you get this kind of reply, how will you react?

1 day, asking a friend, A, about his/her r/s developments.

—————————————————————————————————————

Me: So how? We see *censored* and *censored* things happening. This and that.. blah blah

A: Yeah lor like that lor *blah blah blah* Can don’t talk about it. It’s just a r/s.

—————————————————————————————————————

“It’s just a r/s”

Somehow, very affected by that reply.

So casual.

So relaxed.

So simple.

I don’t want to give a lecture on r/s. I don’t have the qualifications, and the rights to do so.

I highly respect r/s. Be it between friends, family, etc. r/s is important.

I just think… it’s so sad…

Changi Airport, Sim Lim, Peninsula Plaza, NUS, and Such…

Oooo… a whole day, full of travelling!

In the morning, I went over to yz’s place. She’s flying back to tw, so I sent her off lor. Terminal 1. Her check-in luggage was almost overweight: 24.5kg. LOL.

And EVA Air has an elite class, which is between economy and business. Hmmm…

After she went through the departure gates, I went on to find my way out of the airport. There’s nothing much at the airport, or rather, I have no time to explore the airport.

Took the skytrain from T1 to T3, and then MRT to Bugis. It was damn crowded at the Bugis Station. The 2 trains had coincided. Worst case. Escalator jammed. LOL. Went over to Sim Lim, to ask about some marine devices. No stock. Heh.

And then, took 166 to Peninsula Plaza. Straight to Cathay. Asked, agreed, signed, and went off. And now, I am an owner of a Canon EOS 7D, and a Speedlite 580EX II.

Yay.

Haven’t really started playing with the camera. Slowly.

After that, the original plan was to go to NUS to play tennis. When I alighted from 197 at NUS, it was raining. Quite heavy. Decided to call off the session. Anyway, I was carrying quite a bit of stuffs, and I did not wish to get them wet.

Ended up in JE by taking 97. Bought some food (did not have lunch…) and then home.

It’s 1 full day of travelling east-west. LOL.

Happening Weekend…

Alright, this weekend was… tiring…

On Friday, met the primary school gang. The gang’s small at first, but got bigger as it got later into the night. First stop was Vivocity. We had dinner at Modesto’s. Yummy pizzas and that italian dumpling thingy and the rock melon appetizer.

But the pizzas just cannot win the ones in Brest.

After that, we went over to Tanjong Beach Club. Yes, across Cruise Bay, into Sentosa! It’s a nice chill-out place actually. Nice sea breeze.

Well, I had sea breeze everyday…

LOL.

And then, went home. Zzz… The time was around 2am when I reached home.

And then, the alarm went off at 5am. I vaguely remembered using my finger to do the swipe action to turn off the alarm. And then, I was awakened by my dad at 5.30am. That was when I realized that I got to be at the airport.

I was supposed to meet zx at je mrt station at 6.15am.

In the end, I still made it in time. LOL.

We were sending victor off. He will be away for 1 year. In US. So fun, but the money’s not much.

Zzz.

Edric was there too.

Zzz.

Had Yat Kun.

1 coffee. Still…

Zzz.

Went to suntec after that. Evelyn was already at coffee bean, waiting for zx. We stoned there till around 12pm.

Zzz.

Another coffee, yet…

Zzz.

Walked around a bit, until arrival of yz. The 2 went off to meet another group of friends, and yz and I went for lunch.

Fish and Co got this ‘R21’ menu for vday… LOL… No we did not order that. Wahaha…

Saw that ben oon was somewhere at funan. Got him over to join us.

After that, yz went to the exhibition (she left shortly after.. duhz) and ben oon went to carrefour. I went to sim lim.  Bought the fuel sensor. I got another item that I also wished to buy. Their computer reflected ex-stock, but they could not find it in their office/store. LOL.

Saw lijian there. Hahaha of all places.

Crapped a bit outside some shop in sim lim square. I was searching for more info on a product on my phone, and he called out to me.

I was still walking around, so he went off first.

In the end, I still did not manage to buy some things that I set out to buy. Never mind. Tomorrow morning, call.

Well.

It was raining quite heavily when I was on 66, on my way home.  The original plan was to sleep all the way to je. But then, the person sitting beside got big LP. He sat on the seat as if he owned 2 seats. And so, I tried the most old stunt, to knock his leg and shoulder once in a while, but this stunt failed on him.

Damn. The bus was quite packed. I had no other seats to move to.

And so, I found myself in and out of ‘coma’ all the way to je, and I ended up feeling more tired.

Damn.

Bought dinner home from je. Zzz… Tired.

Attempted to watch soccer, but fell asleep at half-time. Zzz. Simply too tired. Woke up at 11+pm. Stayed up till 2am…

And woke up at 8am in the morning. Sunday.

Watched drama on miotv. And then went over to queensway in the afternoon. Mandy was very free, so she joined me. She was looking for lunch kaki, but I had mine at home. Went to mac. I had a hot fudge sundae… she had a macbistro meal…

And then, I bought my stuffs, and had a free cab ride to NUS. LOL!

Played tennis till 5+. And then, went over to West Coast Plaza. Did not know that there’s this shuttle service between NUS and west coast plaza. I was just nice, passing by the bus stop, when the bus came.

Lucky!

Walked around, waiting for the rest to come. zhonghui, junjie, eugene chan, lijian, junwen.

JC power.

Ate and crapped, and somehow, it seemed like a singles meeting instead of a JC class gathering. Singles, with the exception of eugene chan. Well well… LOL eugene was our tutor anyway. wahahaa!

After eating, home… and till now, I am still typing. Zzz… I need my sleep soon…

CNY 2011 Day 6

End of holidays…

Went to swim with yz in the morning, at clementi swimming pool. Well, it’s more of like, slack-around-and-talk-crap-and-swim-little session. And there are lots of old uncles in the pool too. There was one group in the toilet who were chatting while bathing! LOL…

Retired life… how nice…

It was nice to be lazing around in the pool, and talking, and talking, and talking…

Yeah. We were like retired folks. LOL!

—————————————————————————–

Went over to clementi mall for lunch. LJS. They had this prosperity meal for 2. LOL. She had the fish. I had the chicken. Then stoned around more. Nice aircon, etc…

Then we went home.

—————————————————————————–

Went out again at around 5+. IMM. Bought some things here and there. And then, met up with the secondary school people for dinner at ichiban. zx, rf, edric, bc, zy, yz, and me.

Yummy. And then swensen’s. Yummy.

Anyway, one more card completed. Time to have another spin of the wheel. LOL.

Then we went home.

—————————————————————————–

Sometimes I am really pissed at little things.

Pissed #1

Is it really that hard to say ‘oh he is joining us too’ when asked who else was being invited by a person? It’s not that I only asked once. I asked TWICE.

TWICE.

is it THAT difficult?

Pissed #2

Replying ‘I am not going’ seems to be hard for some people too.

Pissed #3

Something’s wrong, when voices of people talking are louder than the sound and music and vocals from the speakers.

Pissed #4

Is ‘getting sponsorship’ really that important for an outing? I simply don’t see the link. It’s not as if we cannot afford things. And funny enough, it’s not that we have done anything superb.

So thick-faced?

By the way, the Earth is still rotating.

Pissed #5

An activity, cancelled. due to a certain reason, or due to some other reason?

Sure?

—————————————————————————–

I think, overall, primary and secondary school friends are still the best group. Next will be army friends.

One, we are all of the same kind during primary and secondary school days. For army friends, we were all under one roof once. Chiong together, die together, huat together.

Together.

That’s the key.

Colleagues hardly die together, in my opinion. So much so that, I am starting to draw lines, which is bad.

There was one, previously. There was one that I would go all out to support. There used to be one. And I am very sure the support will be returned.

Mutual support.

Together.

Some people do their own parts. Clear cut. I don’t chup you, you don’t come and chup me. Bad…

1 thing I think was bad was, we rendered help, and stayed back to work together. When the help was rendered, and things were done, they were happy. And then, on another day, we stayed late, and since the other job was completed, the people disappeared.

It was true that staying back had no benefits. But at least, it’s a form of support.

At least, try.

Together.

And since I did not see that, there was once I did not see the need to stay back and wait.

Life’s becoming selfish.

CNY 2011 Day 5

Went over to Sentosa.

Walked in from Vivocity. The boardwalk has opened. Quite a nice place to walk on actually. Soon, the Wine Company over there will be opened, and we will have 1 more additional place to chill… LOL.

Sentosa Flowers 2011. Nothing much really. Flowers. And Flowers. And Flowers. Somehow, some places, they looked the same. But it’s a good camera practice session.

Went to stone for a while at Hard Rock Hotel. Not a bad place to stone. Ordered coconut milk shake that tasted like water after a while. Too little coconut milk, and too much ice. Zzz. And it’s $8.

Lunch/High Tea was at Kim Gary. Made yz flew down from home to join us. LOL! Bo bian, told me latest 2.30pm reach, in the end 2.10pm still at home…

After that, walked around Vivo. Nothing much to buy. Just KLKK.

And then, 97 to JE. Talk-talk a bit here and there. And then, 143 home.

It’s really nice to meet up with a long-time-no-see friend. Gonna thank her for all those taiwan goodies that… er… were requested by me… LOL…

Ok la… I treated her to Kim Gary lor…
