::quite a busy week end for me.. went for an outing at Little India in the morning, followed by a band exchange with SAJC, then Sunday went for OP's Alumni concert..
met at Little India MRT at 10, but waited for some time for the rest to arrive.. Wei Liang briefed us on what to shoot, basically street shots.. loaded in my last roll of B&W film I bought last year and went out to shoot.. grouped with Lynn and Sherry, lent them my S80 since I'll be shooting purely film..


went to have something to eat first.. left the house without breakfast, so was pretty hungry.. spent a few frames while we were there.. had an egg and a plain prata.. completed the set with a cup of bandung.. a french couple sat at our table since they were also eating at the prata store just infront..
went to walk around after we finished eating..


had lotsa ideas popping up as we walked along.. one of which is the pic you see above.. noticed a pair of bicycles leaning against the grills of a shop.. one was upside down and the other was rightside up.. one was old and spoilt and the other was new.. sorta conversation between the 2 bikes if you will.. then just happens that a man pushing his bike was walking by.. should have waited for him to move further down though, then the 3 bikes would have been in line.. oh wel..


towards the end of the roll I focused more on ppl shots.. didn't really get any eye contact with any of my subjects until this little boy came along.. another very spontaneous shot.. it came as a suprise how the shot turned out, looked like it was shot in India instead of Little India.. the plastic crates and all that take away the rustic feel, but the boy's expression is timeless.. looks like he's stealing some onions from the stall, but infact he was just playing with it.. he's prob the shopkeeper's son or something.. tried to get another shot of him, but he ran back into the store..

then went for an exchange at SAJC.. by the time we ended the outing, it was already 12.30 and we were suppose to meet at 12.30 in school.. so headed for SA by myself to meet them there.. took the NEL to Potong Pasir and walked there.. couldn't find any SA ppl around, only saw St Pats there.. waited at the foyer area there, saw some of the pics by their photog.. of their orientation, move to the new campus etc.. some captured the special moment that encapsulates the event, while some were pretty normal.. saw one of Joel's pics put up, not to say it shouldn't be up, but just feel its nothing special.. doesn't speak to me..
Joel came to talk to me before we started.. probably if I didn't tell him I was playing Alto now, he'll be quite shocked.. BT brought my sch's Alto Prestige.. the only Prestige we have, but its the lower half of it has some leaks.. Sean from Windworks was there and he tried to repair it on the spot.. was slightly better than before, but still the register B to F has some problems.. kept squeaking when I tried to accent those notes, which occured frequently in Sinfonia..
went outside to have a breather after we played.. just coming into the campus reminded me of how close I was to being here.. just one point made all the difference, I got 11, Joel got 10.. just makes me sometimes wonder about fate and destinity.. Mr Neo came to talk to me while I was outside.. asked me what was wrong, was I sick etc.. physically I'm alright, but emotionally I don't think I am.. had a chat with him, told him some of my problems etc.. he asked me whether I have a girlfriend, if I wanted one and is the fact that I don't bothering me.. to be honest, it does bother me sometimes.. not that I'm desperate or anything, but I could use some emotional support..

Sunday went for Orchid Park's alumni concert.. Chester, Shi Chie, Carol, Shirley and Hafiz were performing, so came to support them.. went to collect the developed negatives and CD first before going for the concert.. it was held at NAFA..


took a couple of pics during the intermission.. Zhi Xiong, Wee Chong, Genevieve and Liying were there too.. Chester had quite a number of solos throughout the concert, was rather nice.. he sometimes can play so wonderful and sometimes he just doesn't..
then went to meet up with the other half who went for West Wind's concert which was held at the same time as OP's.. met at City Hall, then went to BK to eat.. had the free coupon for some cheesesticks anyway..
