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



Photobucket
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 -.-"




Photobucket
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

Photobucket

this of course
had to wait for the monkey to jump on that thing there
and do its tarzan thing

Photobucket



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




Photobucket


after that we went to orchard
went to go makan first with brokoli and st
we went makan sushi @ sushi tei





Photobucket





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




Photobucket




Photobucket

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




Photobucket


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 :)

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 !

"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....

damn hungry now
so gotta hurry up before your night is over

1 photo to share

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




Photobucket



10 more nights of lifeless boring days
and i'd be free !!
can't wait.

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,


Photobucket

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
