::the post from sat and sun..
woke up just in time for the photog meeting at 9.. spent the night doing up some notes, then rushed to print them.. reached slightly after 9, the usual room where we have our meetings was locked, so went to the AVA room instead.. almost like giving a lecture, except with more hands on stuff.. gave my "lecture notes" and went through the concept of Depth of Field.. just go search for the term if you are wondering whats it about.. much better than the first time now that I've prepared my stuff.. hope to touch on the creative aspect next time instead of just the technicals.. like if you are learning piano, you need to know all your fingerings, chords, which pedal does what before you can venture into musical expression..
talked till about 10.30 when we left.. went the longer way to the MRT instead of cutting through the interchange.. reached there just in time for our team's event..


Dragonboaters in action..
we were at just before the starting line.. so could get pretty close to them.. spotted Jun An and Hek Ming.. made our way to the finishing line area.. where all the tents were.. while we were walking there, a boat capsized.. when I joined my class they said they didn't notice it.. even though the announcer mentioned about it on the PA system...
more shots from the day..






rained quite heavily in the later part of the day.. luckily they brought umbrellas, even with umbrellas we still got slightly wet.. the 5th consectutive time it rains at the regatta, some kind of tradition already..


took this shot before it rained.. was getting very cloudy and gloomy, no suprise that it rained so heavily.. met Chuan Xin at the entrance of the MRT station.. such a coincidence again.. she was meeting someone, but its raining quite heavily outside so I've no idea how she's gonna meet..
then went to Marina Square to eat.. sat at the open air area partly because we couldn't find a seat, or just too hungry to wait?
tried my hand at food photography.. the cloudy skies gave a nice soft diffused lighting..





looks yummy doesn't it.. speaking of which, getting hungry also.. hahaa.. had grilled chicken, the sause was rather nice.. then waited for quite awhile for Michelle.. was getting bored, so tried to find something to shoot.. noticed the rain had let up already, its just drizzing.. good thing we sat outside if not I wouldn't have noticed the rain.. tried to get some shots of water droplets.. out of the dozen or so attempts, think only these 2 were ok..





went to shop around for presents for the November birthday boys and gals.. just walked around abit, then took the train home.. quite tired from the day out so slept almost immediately..
woke up early on Sun.. went for the finals together with about a third of the class.. Angie was the first to reach there after me, so joined her..
nothing much different than yesterday.. went to get something to eat, walked one big round around the river while having my breakfast at the same time.. met Ms Lim at the opposite bank of the river.. gave me a small pep talk.. really gotta work harder for next year..


leave you with this last pic to show you how close the race was.. the boat number you get sometimes doesn't signify what position you'll get..
