2010
Hello 2010.
2010 seemed to have come too fast. i just hope and pray that this year, i'll pull up my socks and start getting work done. 2009 has been a rather slack year for me. i think its because of the 6 month break that i had before poly started.
but ahh well, 2009 had its good moments as well. i guess one think to be thankful for is to go travelling. as i step out of secondary school, i start to realised how fortunate i am to be able to just take a step out of singapore. some of my polymates have not even been out of singapore before, you try to describe them whats in an airplane and they give you a weird look. as such, i'm really thankful to have been given the air ticket in march to fly to england and my recent family holiday to Hongkong.
actually, even getting a place in NYP was also a gift from God. i told myself to whatever i do to not get into ITE or RP(due to the distance) and just nice, NYP gave me a place.
all i want is for 2010 to give me a wider smile 365 days from now.

48km!
i went cycling with gerald and tin tin today at ECP. well actually i was the one who asked them to cycle. i've always wanted to cycle to changi village for the fun of it.
so yes, we decided to cycle to changi village today. initially i wanted to just cycle to changi village then back to ECP. but the coastal way was just so boring. imagine this, we were cycling side by side with the airport run way, and the airport runway is like 5km long. so effectively, we were cycling about 6-7km of just straight road.. which was ubber sian!
so anyway, we cycled to changi village and it was raining, so we decided to sit down and eat something and thankfully the rain wasn't as heavy as before so we then went on with our journey. we decided not to go back by the airport way but instead, cover the whole Park Connector(PCN) which was another... 33km ++. well i was game for it, so was gerald, and tin tin is experienced so off we went!
well, to cut the long storey short. we spent a total of 4-5 hours to cover the whole PCN, which we calculated.. we cycled at an average speed of between 12km/h-15km/h which is relatively fast already. and btw, overtaking various cycling groups are so fun. haha. i think no group of cyclist actually managed to overtake the 3 of us, it was only individuals or those with the cool cool road bikes. haha.
okay so anyway. heres a photo taking in HK..
we arrived in HK at about 10.30am so we made our way to HK disneyland which was quite near the airport. this shot was taken just outside Disneyland. temperature that day was between 12-16degrees C so it was totally awesome!

CTs
i probably saw the worst condition 50mm f/1.4 today. i met the seller at YCK mrt after my paper today. when i saw the box of the lens, i thought i was gonna be in for a treat.
but when the seller opened the box and took the lens out. OMG that was probably the worst condition lens i've ever came across. first off, it didn't have a filter but i was cool with that, but the lens elements for dirty! then, the lens cap was a non USM one which was like...(what the hell) and there were so many scratches on the lens. OH AND, it was OUT OF FOCUS OMGGGG. so i said," i'll kindly reject this lens, i'm sorry."
so yea, i'm still prime-less now. i think i'll get a tokina 11-16 f/2.8 in HK first then see what's next.
ahh well, CTs are a pain, seriously, i can't wait for it to be over i tell you.
and also, i needa start packing like nowwww cos i don't think i'll have time tomorrow to pack. alamak alamak alamak...
Youth Camp was rather cool. i didn't shoot much. but pics are on facebook:)

lalalalala
i've been deciding what gear to being to HK with me. cos i need space to put lenses in my bag. most probably i'll use ZX's 400D + grip and not my 40D cos its a little bulky. i'll be bringing along glori's tokina 12-24 f/4 and my tamron 17-50. and i'm hoping to get a tokina 11-16 & 50mm f/1.4 in HK and also a 17-50 OR a sigma 30mm f/1.4 for Benny.
this trip is gonna be exciting! :)

God, i'm wrong!
i want to thank Ming Hui for inviting me to the Awaken drama.
for those in FMC, you would know this Breakthough brother called Kelvin Soh, he has probably the most sexy voice among the brothers and also he's a singer as well. so yea, basically the drama that we spectated yesterday was a flashback of what he was like in his early years. they showed how he became a drug addict because of his father and how he started stealing from his grandmother. and all these things eventually landed him in jail together with his father.
and during his time in Jail. he was asked by his cellmate, ah hui, to join the christian fellowship there. but even after joining them, he still returned to his old ways, and because of that, he was sentenced to 5 years in jail with 3 strokes from the cane. and it was in his most down moments in his cell where he shouted to God," God! i'm wrong!" and it was those words that changed him and made him realise that he has been leading such a meaningless life.
for me personally, when i heard those 3 words. it just hit me that you know, in all our lifes we're just pleasing one another. we keep telling other people like us that we're sorry we're wrong. but have we ever came before the Lord and say," God, i'm wrong!" even if we had, have we ever cried our to the Lord saying," God, i'm wrong!"? i haven't. but that is gonna change.

MST
man, i am so dreading the mid semester test. it just wastes 5 days of my meaningful life here on earth. i've been quited excited about my upcoming family trip to HK. thinking about the TIM SUM, the weather, DISNEYLAND, TIM SUM, the shopping, TIM SUM & of cos my camera equipment shopping just MIND BLOWING, or in russell peter's context, MIND BLASTING! hahaha
so yea, i was in math lecture today day dreaming and it suddenly hit me that i'll be leaving in 9 days time! OMGGGGGGG so EXCITING! i'm a little jealous though that some of my other friends are going Japan, thailand or korea.. all well, HK is cooooooool.
setting aside money for my Have-Fun-In-HONGKONG-Fund wasn't easy but i'm sure i'll be greatly blessed when i get to HK with the money to spend :D wheeeeeeee.
I AM THAT EXCITED!

KICK IT!
i shot a Kindergarten Concert yesterday with Jeremy Chan, who is my possible partner in crime if we start shooting such events more and more. it was a paid shoot and since we're shooting the children, i don't think i'll be posting pics from that.
but in any case, i shot KICK IT 09' for the Amdassadorial Team today again. it was an enjoyable time of shooting. 40D + 17-50 + 50mm f/1.4 + 100mm f/2.8 Macro is just an awesome combo together.
will be doing some shots tmr in church too as well. hmmmm.
A-TEAM! (well, part of them)
awesome bunch of peeps :)
