devMeet SG 09

well, the night of the 20th, i saw a tweet by zemotion about her joining in the for the devmeet on the 21st
what went across was, wow, singapore finally have a devmeet, something new, i thought
so i went on to search around deviantart and found out that it's actually a deviantart world tour meet
meaning that it's an actual official deviantart meet
not just some locally organized devmeet man
but then again, i took a lot at my schedules and todos
:| :| :| so many things yet to be done
and so many things to be done FAST !
i thought of not joining : /
the morning of the 21st,
i thought
well, this kinda thing don't always happen
and the chance to meet amazing artists, the like of zemotion herself
was WOW
+ i haven't been picking up the camera for some time
so i thought, well, just drop by, if it's just some boring meet up, will just make some excuse and leave early and go for a walkabout shoot myself

but i was wrong !
the meet up was great man !
made a couple of friends
went alone not knowing what to expect
and came home :D

ok nothing much to say really
just happy that i went :)




Photobucket

a total of around 160 deviantart artists came !




Photobucket

myself and Heidi, deviantart Director of Marketing

oh and myself and JingNa of course

witnessing death

monday

11.15 a.m.
i was cleaning the fish tank, went back to the old house to get a drink
then he walked by the narrow corridor connecting my old house and new house, carrying a ladder in hand and asked me to pass by first as i was walking back to the new house where the fish tanks are located

11.20 a.m.
finished cleaning the fish tank
went up to my room to bathe and was planning to sleep

11.35 a.m.
done bathing, look through the dvd collections and pulled out "the holiday" to watch before i sleep
a habit that i've undertaken during the exams period
a movie before i sleep

11.40 a.m.
was about to lie on the bed then i received a frantic called from mum
"UNCLE FELL DOWN..FASTER COME DOWN..HURRY HURRY !!!"
"ok ok ok....."
in my head i thought and imagined he, sitting down on the floor with both leg stretched out, a hand holding a cigarette like he always do whenever he's at work and saying things like he's alright, tough as he was and that mum had just made a big deal out of another small matter

11.42 a.m.
i was down there
nobody in the living room
walked out all the way to the front of the old house
a lot of people gathering around
went out to the streets
and there,
the sight....
he, lying on the street
blood running out from his nose and mouth

the neighbor had all came out for help
some in confusion
some shouting words that appeared wordless in my ears

i was shocked

11.45 a.m.
without thinking twice
i asked the maid to open the main gate
i went in the car
drove out
and the neighbor helped me carry him to the car
dad sat beside me
and we sped to the hospital

12.00 p.m.
i went pass a red light and we arrived at the hospital
in the car dad had called an in-house doctor to be on the standby for our arrival
he was there behind
lying
the blood had dried off by now
the nurses came
i opened the door
they carry his helpless body onto the stretcher and wheeled him into the emergency room
i parked the car
ran in to the hospital
straight to the emergency room

12.05 p.m.
for the first time in my life, i saw dad panicked
but still he remained his cool
he gave calls to his wife, daughter and son
also to other cousins
there i was standing helplessly
looking
the sight
two doctors by him
he wasn't even properly wheeled into a "station"
he was just there
in the middle of the room
they gave him cpr
had the oxygen tank to help him breathe
then he chocked


12.10 p.m.
the fight went on

dad, still giving calls

i still there
in disbelieved on what i'm seeing
then the doctor turned around

"there's been some internal bleeding"

then
i saw the nurses sucking blood from inside his body
and others injecting him with i don't know what

"we're losing him"

and the doctor began pumping even harder


12.15 p.m.
"we've lost him"


i, have lost another uncle.
only this time,
he left us before my eyes.

InlineX
founded by two of my hangout buddies back during my secondary school life here
both adam and matin gave me a call ask me if i can help them shoot their lesson
they want pictures for their website at http://inlinex.com.sg
having haven't been meeting them for a long long time
and having heard the both of them kinda started their own thing | entrepreneurship, something i truly truly support and respect for people my age or younger as they take that path towards settlement and maturity |
so of course my only answer is a yes
7 plus am adam fetched me from my home
and off we went to aljunied

long story cut short so i can have more to write later on when i'm doing their post is just :
- i truly enjoyed my time | meeting them, shooting them, and the presence they made me felt
hats off to both of you dudes !
am really honestly happy as a friend that you both kinda finally are serious about life, especially adam, lots of changes there
- they thought me how to roller blade in a day ! | ok i had ice skating background
