Saturday had our Sports Carnival at Bedok Reservoir.. met up with one of the J1s, Yia Chin assigned for the Sports Carnival.. pretty much attached to me for this event.. well, she had some experience in her sec sch in photo and AVA, so didn't have to teach her on the basics and all that.. introduced more advance techniques/concepts such as AI Focusing, Panning, DoF.. here are some shots..

then had to rush off to collect some pics for the RJC photo competition.. Kok Wey was kind enough to help me carry one of the bags back first, my shoulders were aching after a whole morning of shooting.. took 69 to Bedok MRT then to Chinatown.. realised I was short on cash, wanted to print some photos I missed but didn't have enough cash.. was quite hungry by then, had a doublecheese burger from mac to cease the rumbling.. got back on time for band pract in the afternoon.. wanted to go for cj's con fuco v, but didn't have $ with me.. then had a com meeting to discuss the plans for muse festival..

recieved this in my e-mail when I got home..

Dear Participant,

When you received this email, it means that your works submitted to Eye e City 06 have been shortlisted for the Final Selection of 100 entries that best document our city in 2006.

It is not practical for us to send you the details regarding which photo or essay, nor would we be sending out the database like in the past. We hope to work within the boundaries of computer privacy, so we have put your names and addresses in the bcc field.

In the past, the results were only given closer to the time of the Public Exhibition. However, we took the decision to inform you earlier this year.

Your works, either in the form of a single frame or a set of photo essay, will be published in our event's annual publication. They will also be printed for the exhibition.

We shall keep you informed of further news towards the time of the Book Launch and Public Exhibition in August 2007 at the National Library.

well, its my first photography related accomplishment, looking forward to it.. but I wonder which pic of the 3 was selected.. prob the one with my cousin and grandfather.. my other 2 were also quite good, but abit too generic.. this one was special..

Sunday, 1st April and you know what day it is.. the irony is that I set myself up for an unintended April Fool's joke.. overslept that morning, was suppose to meet up to return back the lens at 11.45, and I only woke up at 11.30.. Jason was kind enough to change to meet up at 12.45.. reached there on time, then wasted 40cents passing the MRT gates when i remembered I had to print the photos that I missed.. took 66, then walked to Burlington Square.. the uncle remembered me from last time.. had lunch first, then spent the rest of the hour walking around at SLS.. then took 23 to get to 147's bus stop and 105 to outside Zhi Kai's place.. went to his house to sort out the photos and entry forms.. had abit of running nose the whole day..
we had a litte trek round the perimeter of the school to get to 156 bus stop.. the grass outside the sch was quite thick.. was abit skeptical about the contradicting deadlines for the competition, Melissa said it was the 1st, didn't wanna risk it.. alighted at their backgate which was locked.. then walked along their perimeter to get to their front gate.. and walked we did, their campus was very big.. in the end found out it was closed, and we wasted our time for nothing.. sent them an e-mail regarding the dates and turns out its the 9th, and they changed it without making much notification..

Monday morning had a litte episode of "a series of unfortunate events", came down to wait for the bus at 8.30.. normally 109 comes by 8.40, a 10+ min ride leaving me with just enough time to reach by 9.. but 15mins later and the bus didn't come.. decided to take a cab since I would be late if I took 109 now, so let the bus go by.. walked back to before the turning to see if I could get a cab there, then there were a bunch of ppl waiting for cabs.. figured it was no point waiting at this point so got back to the bus stop.. and guess what, a 109 came and I missed it.. took my alt 72 + 156 route which was longer and not as convenient.. gave up all hope of coming on time, since it was already close to 9am when I boarded 72.. just goes to show how little tiny decisions can have so much impact..
reached only at 9.30, which by then was halfway through Physics lecture.. did some work by myself.. nv been so late before, feel so helpless just waiting at the bus stop.. while in sec sch, could just run to sch if I was running late.. well, only have myself to blame..

then had another long com meeting as with last week's, from 5.45 to 10.. seem like so long ago, but its only last week.. went through in detail the Muse festival, resolved some of the problems we faced.. discussed about the J1s situation, cos with not much time left for SYF, their our weakest link now.. could feel the committee is under lotsa stress now SYF is approaching fast.. and with the events lining up to SYF, its gonna test us to the limit..
