kebun binatang | penguins

so i went to the singapura kebun binatang today

do what ?

shoot binatang lor

shot some 300 over pics

to get a better pic each time after each shot

end up 1 animal i have like only 2 - 3 pics

and i didn't really shoot quite a lot of animals : /

one thing photography

to be precise

macro, landscape and animal photography

really thought me a lot of patience through these years

i wasn't as patience as i am today back back then

these types of photography just require patience

u gotta wait wait wait and wait

to just get that one right moment

when that snake hat its tongue out

when the penguin jumps in to swim

when that monkey jumped off for a swing

and of course

the right light

the right place

the right angle

all must put in patience one

and since i'm very tired liao

gonna just post 6 pics from the earlier part of the day today d

had to wait for this monkey to turn around

coz singapore zoo's monkey all mostly only show us their asses instead of the face -.-"

had to wait for this bird to turn its head back a slight bit so the light hit its face nicely

:)

the penguins

pretty much just wait and anticipate them to swim pass across in front of me lor

instead of go swim up or down

this of course

had to wait for the monkey to jump on that thing there

and do its tarzan thing

i am

very very very

physically and emotionally tired

gonna go back home real soon.

after the exams

finally !

the exams are over

like

after weeks of self-imprisonment

like literally

wakeup study eat gotoiletbathebrushteethshit study studysomemore have15minsbreak backtostudying studysomemore havea2-4hoursnap wakeup study gotoiletbathebrushteethshit eat study study study studysomemore sleep

3 weeks of that

and after i going through all of that

regardless of whether i'd pass or not later

i don't really care

the one thing that's true is

i've give it my best

i really did

give my best

and the feeling of post-exams after you've given your best is really really awesome

regardless of whether you can do or not during the exams

it really feels great

anyway

after the exams

immediately after my final paper

i went to go have some steamboat buffet with the guys

fwah

eat till stomach wanna explode

after that go home sleep d

and spent the entire of the next day (yesterday) doing nothing

practically i was like lying on the bed almost the entire day

and that.

feels damn good

so today i went out lor

i went sku first to meet the frens coz their final exams are today

after that we went to orchard

went to go makan first with brokoli and st

we went makan sushi @ sushi tei

after that yuli joined us

and we went to go watch movie

went to go watch knowing

which seems a bit horroish

some scenes got me jumping out a little out of unexpectation

and i don't jump off the seat even while watching horror movies one

so that's like damn good !

got one scene, practically the entire row of my seat like jumped off and all roll on the floor all like fell down knock here knock there

ok too exaggerating

after that we went to makan again for supper @ xin wang @ cineleisure

after that i went home

edit these 5 pics

and present them to you

and wrote these very long sentences which doesn't make sense

coz i'm sleepy and i'm suppose to be in bed already coz tml i gonna go zoo !

ok bye !

show you some animals pics tomolo !

soemtimes it feels this way

doesn't it ?

sometimes

out of no where

u woke up and feel

thunderous

blur

confused

unmotivated

down

upset

out of the blue

it's like as if you've dreamt of something terribly bad

but you can't remember what you've dreamt of

or may be it's just the stress ?

and the extreme lack of sleep ?

i think so

man i'm tired

and truly,

can't wait till i can get the creative part of the brain working again

notes + memorizing are simply a dead subject

oh i'm so darn tired

1 over 1 more to go

i'm 50% closer to freedom now

last paper will be on monday

tonight's rest and break night

the battle starts again tomorrow

am 4 days away from freedom !

today's paper ?

no comment really

all i can say is

i don't think i've ever been quite this "hardworking" ever throughout my degree course

i bought a new fresh foolscap paper for this subject

coz the way i study is a little bit not very environmental friendly

i have to write down my own notes

i can't just read and memorize

i have to write

write and write

and by the time i finished writing this morning

to my surprise

i finished the entire half of the foolscap book -.-"

hardcore

anyway

2 photos i shot yesterday

am sleepy

wanna go sleep :)

good night people !

for those that's still battling with the notes

god bless ya'll

"it always seems impossible until it's done !"

goodluck.allthebest.godblessya

first paper of the year 2009

in 13 hours time

so

good luck

all the best

god bless ya

the paper's tomorrow

well, just realized that this time round

there's no escaping reality series that i usually do during my exams period

guess this time round i don't shoot cats that much

or may be i'm concentrating more or what

which is good

and after some 30 over pages of handwritten notes later

i think i'm quite comfortable on what i've been preparing so far :)

so good luck too to those currently having their exams !

k gotta go to revise last min alreadi

pics from my previous escaping reality series one

haha

"male" and the notes 01

well,

it's been more than a week that i continually study study and study

like non stop

leading a boring and rather awkward kinda life

and tonight is the first night kinda that i woke up so darn late

overslept by 2 hours

kinda pissed off because of that

waking up late for my study time has always been something that i hate

coz the more i sleep tru the night, the less "night" time i'd have for my studying

these past few days,

as i throw more chapters into my schedules to cover, kinda am getting accustomed to studying in the morning too

but then again, it's kinda too noisy so kinda have to throw in double concentration too

and i think that's why i'm getting more and more tired each day

aiz....

anyway,

as an exams destress this morning

i shot !

something that i'm feeling

stressed

a little depressing coz there's so much to study

and i think also

it's how we all feel with notes and books around right

kinda hard to shoot positively with all these notes and books surrounding you each and everyday of you life

ok

here's "male" and the notes

dividing into two parts

3 photos each part

haha

aight....

more tomorrow :D

t.me flies

my god

time sure flies

didn't realized that i've lived this boring way of life for 1 week

aiz...

anyway

woke up late today

damn hungry now

so gotta hurry up before your night is over

1 photo to share

use your camera's long exposure noise reduction man

it works like

MAGIC

10 days to freedom

it's been 7 days since i've turn my life upside down

by that i totally means upside down

your night time is my day time

and your day time is my sleeping time

the peace and quietness of the night is the only time i can study well

it's been like that for years and i've never thought of changing it

and boy,

these days have been pretty much lifeless

i'd wake up at 11pm

bathe and have my "breakfast" while watching either antm or southpark

then sit down a bit editing pic for this post

and once all these slacking are done

usually it'd be around 2am

i'd pack my books

head down to the study area nearby

and began mugging

often, i'd then take an hour break after 2 - 3 hours of straight studying

that'll be the time i come home

roam around deviantart or other people's blogs

after that i'm down at the study area again

and all the way till 6 am

come back home

finish up whatever chapter i've allocated myself to for the night

and then i'd have another meal

watch another episode of antm / southpark

and i'm off to bed

and the cycle repeats

pretty darn boring and tiring

share a photo i shoot during a break time where i decided to shoot instead of coming back online again

10 more nights of lifeless boring days

and i'd be free !!

can't wait.

fai ming's jump !

a member of my club

something i'm definitely gonna implement in my next pre-wed shoot !

kk

a very very random outing

a few days ago,

anyway, final part of the airsoft pics !

airsoft 02

hmm...studying's been on schedule so far

so it's good

just hope that whatever i've study will be absorb as much as i'm absorb into it then

again,

i don't think i'd say much

here's airsoft part 2 :)

well, initially i wanted to make a storyline based post from these pictures

but since that'll take too much of my time in front of the computer

i'd forgo it for another time d if i still do remember then

enjoi :)

airsoft 01

last december,

my shooting buddy back home in indo arranged this airsoft shoot and asked if i wanna come along

so i tag along onli lor

coz holydays man

and i was free also

quite an interesting experience i must say

3 photos to start off first d

kk, my break time has just officially ended

so time to go back to the books

more tomorrow !

-ps.

it's the 25th months together

and girl i can't help but to love you more each and every passing day

after everything that we've been through

all i can say is

i want more to this for the next 25 years !!!

love you, f :)

a.blur

how's the new layout ?

kinda like it

coz on some days...i can just simply add something in the "work station"

haha

hang a picture frame ? a new equipment ? a feature ? or may be i'd pop out too ?

on another note,

the exams fever has officially started

made my schedule

and well...i'm gonna face some 17 days of full study study study study study and study + random shooting to relieve the stress in between

so what i'm posting tomorrow ?

it's a.blur

just like a photo i shot when i was back home

i don't know

haha

i have photos i haven't edited before one

but that'll take time in front of the mac

and that is something i don't have right now

should be in front of the notes more now

ok ok

too much time spent typing alreadi

going off

hey what's up notes !

devil.ish.

do not wish to discuss what exactly happened the night it happened

things lost were all very emotionally valuable to the both of us

things we've both worked hard to get

the experience were both as traumatizing at it was to the both of us

having two knifes pointed at your neck both left and right isn't exactly my kinda joke

and it definitely isn't another one of those days...

it was much much worse than that

i doubt that they've ever seen the gadgets before as i've never ever and rarely very rarely take out my gadgets to the streets apart from my camera, and that is also only when i'm on assignment

i don't even take out my iphone right outside of my house

the lucky thing is of course that we were safe and that's all that truly matters

really want to let this go.

i personally here thank you to those that've shown concern, be it via sms / call / my tag/ facebook / msn / ym / twitter

thank you very much

on a brighter note,

I'M BCK !

i'm currently working on a new more proper layout

but don't know how long again will that take as i'm currently already in the midst of preparing for my exams starting today

definitely will try to update as daily as i used to have

meanwhile,

enjoy these 3 shots i did randomly during my 1 week trip back home this time

wishing the nightmare will just go away as fast as it happened.
