nothing special to blog about this week.. studying and more studying.. went to the airport with Jun An to study.. prob the longest period of time I've studied in one shot, 12+hrs.. haha..
took 72 to the bus stop where it intersects with 53's route and waited.. after 4 53s, Jun An's one finally arrived.. travelled through the newly constructed link to the TPE, which is gonna be part of the KPE when phase 2 opens.. arrived at T2 at abt 9.45, bought a caramel ice-blend at the coffee bean and settled down.. fast forward to 3, when our stomachs told us its time to leave.. went to Popeyes at T1 to have lunch.. went to Delifrance at the basement to continue but left around dinner time, continued at Mac till 10+..
anyway, ended up tranversing the length of T2 a number of times cos of a series of events.. Jun An misplaced his water bottle.. by the time we found it, it was 11.30 already.. might as well catch the return flight of the A380..


the A380 though the viewing gallery..
there was a small crowd had gathered to watch, as you can see in the reflection.. couldn't see much though the glass, partly cos of all the reflections.. but the blinking lights of the A380 weren't hard to spot.. an extra wide pair of white lights in the darkness.. only when it came into the light then you'll realise how big it is compared to other planes..
caught the last 27 back to Hougang and had a slow walk home..

just feel so volatile lately.. prob the stress/anxiety/excitement of A levels getting to me.. the feeling of having all your feelings pent up inside, and at the slightest provocation the avalanche of emotions would come out.. just somebody to share my innermost thoughts..
don't really know what to continue typing for this post, cos most of it is a repetition..


anyway, shan't drag on about it here.. if you really wanna know or/and are concerned about me, just ask me out to talk..

rented the TS-E 90mm Tilt-Shift lens for friday.. was kinda impluse decision cos I originally wanted to rent the 135L but since James just bought it along with the 85 1.8 I though I could just borrow it for awhile..


TS Portrait..
a rough idea of what a TS lens can do.. that is tilt the plane of focus, normally you would expect a person's face to be entirely sharp if its more or less perpendicular to the camera, but with a TS lens you can tilt the plane of focus.. ie you can selectively blur even more parts of the pic, only the intersection between the subject and focal plane would be sharp..
enough of the technicallities..


Miniaturized

well, its technically the last day of school today.. after which we are pretty much on our own till A levels, though there are many practice sessions, extra lessons scheduled..
had lotsa things to do after sch on tues.. collected the 2 rolls of mounted slides from KT, collected my 2nd roll for the keychain slides from Fotohub at Suntec.. did some souvenirs for the class, mounted slides with their names on it which acts as a keychain.. met up with Jun An to do the light writings.. basically loaded slide film into my cam, Jun An wrote the names on bulb exposure, got it developed and mounted, attatched the keychain ring to it..


light drawings..
made it sound so easy, but in reality it isn't.. had to scout out a good location, check the framing, practice the spacing and positioning, test on digital before actually shooting a frame.. tiring work, had a total of 3 sessions, wrote the girls first, then the guys.. got back the 1st roll and some were CMI and had to reshoot some.. and it all wouldn't be possible without the help of Jun An, thanks buddy..



the finished product..
each one took me about 5+ mins to make.. first had to take out the slide inside for safekeeping while I mod the holding frame.. filed off a small corner of the back to make space for the ring, then with a heated needle melted a hole to size.. removed the protruding plastic, opened the rings with pilers and slot it in.. placed back the slide film and applied some glue to close it tight.. the wordings can only be see if you put it up to a light and look through it..

anyway back to wed.. arrived in school early to pass James the 2 boxes of slides he shot, well 8 were mine, the aerial view of the school.. met Ping Chong and Yong Huan as I was walking to the usual table where we usually gather before morning assembly..


spying on assembly..
turns out that chem lecture only starts at 9.30, then the rest of the class only coming till then.. quite a sight to see only 1 person, which was Joel, standing where our class ought to be.. haha, quite a unique last morning assembly for the 4 of us.. thought most other classes were either all not there or mostly present..


muffins..
Joel brought up some muffins which Ms Hazel baked for the class.. quite nice actually, chocolate and coffee I think.. wished I could have another one, but it was exact number for the class..


slacking till 9.30..
didn't do much till 9.30, discussed some chem and phy problems, read an article Joel passed me.. before we knew it, it was 9.30 already.. another 1.5 hours and chem lecture was over.. Jack did his last few admin tasks of collecting the signed results slips and sgc, distributed the muffins to the rest and took some pics in LT4..


the usual spot..
the spot where we usually sit, 3 rows on the right of the LT, around H-J.. usually the gals would occupy either the first or last of the 3 rows while the guys take the other 2.. for me usually its the 2nd or 3rd seat from the aisle, cos further in its harder to see the screen.. of cos theres times where I didn't print the lecture notes, or just didn't feel like paying attention that I would sit inside.. haha..
then it was the ceremony itself..


Aaron looking bored..
but that was during the speeches part.. the video montage by the tutors was prob the highlight of the ceremony.. got to see the lighter side of our tutors, of cos the serious message they wanna bring across is that they wish to see us do well for As.. my favourite was the GP department's, 21 days later.. a parody of 23 days later, shows some jerky video with nobody around in sch, then the "zombies" appear.. there was also the video montage of pics from last year to now, some of my pics were up.. the ready stance of Jun An in the dragonboat, the jump shot from last year's sports day, Kok Wey's frisbee pic from this year's.. lotsa classic shots that define our journey in NY.. though if it were me I would have chosen a different set of pics.. anyway, I think PS should have a screening day during D&D or results day.. a really good slide show can bring about lotsa emotions and even tears..
anyway, more pics after the ceremony ended..


the outlier..


sinusoidal action..
another jump shot.. not the whole sequence though, just 2 of the more interesting pics.. without Jun An, the first pic is a perfect straight line mid-air shot.. quite suprised it turned out the way it is, cos there was a phase difference (yea physics) purposely introduced..



the penalty..


the girls..



with é class..



Jack uplifted..


a special appearance..



with Jack..
anyway, looking back I kinda agree with what Pravin said.. NY was just another slot to fill in the 8 choices we had.. just wondering if I had just chosen to stay in CJ instead, what would life be for me now.. one thing, I'll be waking up much earlier than I do now, travel for about an hour plus before reaching school.. just a totally different experience to and fro from sch..
well, my journey in NY was a wonderful experience, 0621, the band, photog, the tutors and the other various ppl I've met on the way..

last few days of school.. offically anyway, we still have extra lessons, practice sessions and what not for the next 2 weeks.. rented the 40D + 17-55 for tues and wed.. wed being our graduation ceremony, and needless to say everyone would wanna take pics..
anyway, Ms Shahida treated the class to pizza after the external exam com briefing on tues.. also got back our prelim results slip and sgc to check.. got AACCE, though aiming for AAABB for As.. GP really needs alot of work..


Pizza..



kinda fitting since the first few times we ate together as a class was also pizza from O2 pizza nite.. now 2 years later its pizza again.. took some class pics after that.. luckily Mr Lee walked by at that moment.. had a impromptu VIP style welcome as he came down the stairs.. haha..





with Mr Lee..

just had a really weird dream, which felt more like an accurate depiction of reality.. had a few recurring dreams about someone I like.. won't reveal who, to the guys from my class it isn't who you think, and to others who have read some of my previous post before, its not the same person.. its the first time I'm mentioning this though..
this dream was different from previous similar dreams.. most of them were what I would have prob done if I had took the time to know her better.. and strangely enough I can remember the block no. blk 107.. but this dream was different, found myself confessing to her.. only could remember the last 2 lines we said.. something along the line of "nobody likes me.." and you can imagine what I replied.. what happened after that was blurry.. had this fear slowly encroaching and everything starts to turn dark.. if I were to guess, its prob that fear of rejection.. woke up after that..
