a continuation of the previous post..
stayed up through the night to watch the sunrise.. but prob wasn't that worth the trouble for.. took the first 88 to change to 89 just before the expressway.. reached Changi Beach park about 10 mins before 7.. the sky had a soft blue glow to it already..


a boring shot..
took 89 back to Pasir Ris for breakfast at Mac.. then took 12 to Clarke Quay, was a pretty long journey, fell alseep on the bus.. killed some time sipping some coffee at Starbucks before returning the lenses..
went back home to put down all my stuff but ended up sleeping.. guess my body can't handle that long periods without sleep.. was suppose to meet Ginny for her church's christmas musical but kinda overslept.. went for the next morning one..
unexpectedly met an old friend there.. Alvin, who was my pri school classmate and also Ginny's classmate in VJ I think.. went to have lunch with her cellgroup after it ended..

lotsa things happened over the past few days..
went ice-skating with Bernadette on Wed.. originally wanted to go cycling but the dark clouds changed that, plus haven't tried ice-skating before.. the rink was quite crowded, think a school had their outing there.. tried roller-blading a few years back before, but ice-skating is very new to me.. at least I didn't fall down there, though had many close calls.. prob hadn't gotten the technique right yet so my feet were hurting abit after an hour.. we rested for awhile while they resurfaced the rink.. managed to go one round around the rink without depending on the sides, not too bad for a first-timer..


the light..
Thurs went to James' place to help out with his family gathering.. went to collect the 10-22 and 17-55 first for the next day.. he had some family portrait session for his relatives.. helped set up the mini "studio" in the function room, not very experienced with studio strobes though... was incharge of the candids down at his house.. felt alittle outcasted though, since I'm the only outsider there.. but nonetheless captured some nice moments that I'm sure his family would have been proud of..


the band in action..
Fri was abruptly awaken by a simple message by Liying.. apparently the band was having some performace at Douby Ghaut which I didn't know of until then.. had some time before the dinner in the evening, so why not? though the location she said was abit misleading, was at the Atrium@Orchard instead of PS.. they didn't sound as good as the last time I heard them, prob the new DSA ppl haven't assimilated yet with the band.. ok, assimilated isn't the best word, but thats all I can think up of now..
left after their last performance and got back home to change.. the dinner was held at the Mouth Restaurant at Safra Toa Payoh.. went there before with my family but can't remember exactly when..


smooch..
prob the best pic I got from that evening.. didn't really shoot much pics during the dinner, more interested in the food.. haha.. had my first taste of lobster there.. have lots more to update, but thats for another post..

think this post is long overdue, was lazy to collect the roll of film I sent.. don't get much requests for updates anyways, mainly due to the low readership I have.. don't let that number at the bottom of the sidebar fool you, works out to a measly 10+ views a day..
went on a cruise from Sun to Wed onboard the Superstar Virgo.. spent Sat processing the pics taken the day before.. did the design for the disc itself also.. passed the disc before heading for the cruise..

Rain..
being the rainy season of the year, the weather out at sea isn't that great.. heavy thick clouds and rained most of the time.. boarded at about 2+, had lunch onboard and we sailed off at 4.30.. spent some time exploring the massive ship, had memorised wheres where by the first day..
woke up late on Mon.. wanted to see the sunrise but it was already 9+.. Anchored off Penang, and got onshore by 2.. went for the shopping excursion, nothing much to blog about..


Dawn on Starboard


Blue Morning..
managed to wake up early for sunrise.. went to the topdeck to take some pics and enjoy the seabreeze.. the weather conditions didn't change much, still cloudy.. though much less than the previous day..


Patong Beach..
got onshore for more shopping activities.. mainly cos the other excursion packages weren't cheap.. though I really would have wanted to go for the off-shore islands one..


Thai Naan Restaurant
had lunch here.. don't be decieved by the facade, inside is actually quite grand.. prob could seat 500+ ppl or more.. went to some local produce place, had lotsa things on sample there.. including something you won't find in Sg.. fried worms, bamboo worms to be specific.. quite crunchy actually, not much of a taste to them though.. wanted to buy some, but costs like 250 Baht.. got back to the Virgo by 5 for the day long sail back to Sg..

backtracking yet another post.. had class chalet the very next day after D&D.. took a longer than expected nap after being out the whole night, woke up at 1plus I think.. packed my stuffs for the chalet and it started raining heavily when I got out.. didn't wanna risk getting wet so took 161 to change to 89 to Pasir Ris.. placed my bags at the chalet first before heading out again to return the set-up I rented.. brought my Xbox 360 there, so had some gaming sessions.. brought Halo 3 (of cos), Fifa 08 and Topspin 2..


the birthday guys and gal..
celebrated the December babies birthdays after bbq ended.. played through the night.. slept from 6 to about 10.. wanted to go watch the sunrise but it was still raining at 6+.. was raining the whole day, kinda spoils any outdoor activities..
went to subway to have lunch, then went cycling while some went to escape theme park.. spent a good part of the first hour teaching Jack, Ping Chong, Yong Huan and Ji Bin how to cycle.. Jack and PC was pretty much doing laps around the carpark by the end of the hour, though Jack has trouble turning left.. haha..


twister..
played more games during the evening.. helped start another fire and we finished off the leftover bbq items.. oh yea, suffered a little mishap while making the above pic.. did more off camera lighting, placed the flash on the window ledge on the 2nd floor.. popped a shot and it fell down, luckily didn't hit anyone.. still works, but the contacts came abit loose I think.. quite a hardy little flash for a low price..


be somebody..
more off-camera lighting.. this time with the flash bounced off the insides of the magazine.. slept through the 2nd night, and before you know it it was the next morning already and we had to check out.. though I had lotsa fun, felt there could be more "get-to-know-each-other" time.. like just a simple walk to the beach to chat or something, and the rain didn't help..

backtracking this post to tues, since I didn't have much time this week to blog.. would be updating once again with the class chalet post after I get back on wed.. going on a cruise with my family from mon to wed.. was too last min to book a holiday so we decided on the next best thing, after all we haven't gone on a cruise yet..
woke up quite late on tues, mon was quite busy.. the small lighting set-up I ordered arrived in the afternoon.. a shoot-through umbrella with stand and wireless trigger.. took a cab to the Marriott, where our Dinner & Dance was held at.. arrived at about 6.30, hung around the lobby area for awhile.. hard to recognise everyone in their formal attire, maybe cos we're so used to seeing each other in sch u..


the firing squad..
as usual, everyone whipped out their cams to shoot.. didn't really shoot or got shot much compared to sec sch.. just felt some unusual inhibition that evening.. other than my classmates don't see alot of familar faces in the crowd..
"cocktail" started at 7, though it was just soft drinks.. the doors opened at 7.30, waited for everyone to clear first before heading in.. sat with the guys at table 22, subtract 1 and it would be quite fitting.. while the rest sat at table 10, on the opposite side of the ballroom..


the class guys..
dinner was nice, though didn't really eat much.. for the first dish, even before the plate touched the table, the guys were already picking from it.. would be quite a scene if even before the waiter left we finished the plate and he can clear it already.. haha..
had some table games, Shu Heng and Jun An were the lucky guys to be chosen.. had to find different objects to decorate them, donated my socks and some spare change.. our table almost won if only the note didn't fall off.. but our luck changed when Dwayne won the grand prize for the lucky draw.. he didn't look that happy though, think he already has an mp3 player of his own..


class pic..
more photo taking after dinner ended and the dance floor was opened.. this was just solely lit by a single umbrella-ed flash.. was so dim to the point that the AF doesn't want to work and had to use MF.. prob should have another flash on the left to fill the shadows created, plus one at the back to give some separation.. all well, have to make do with what I got now..
after that about 14 of us went to the KTV nearby to party the night away..

karaoke-ing the night away..
celebrated Jun An's birthday upon the stroke of mid-night, then continued singing.. Aaron broke my cup of Teh-Tarik and the floor got sticky.. luckily we had a 2nd round of drinks.. the hours flew past and before you know it its 6am in the morning.. was feeling that tired, processed some of the pics upon reaching home.. but the sleep deficit got the better of me..

Tues is our Dinner and Dance, more pics to be taken.. Wed to Fri is my class chalet, prob just bring my S80 out.. then Fri evening is the actual day for the concert.. so my week is pretty packed up.. plus learning how to process RAW files now that I've got my new com..


my desktop..
