a treasure of photos.

macro test tomorrow.
business law assignment to be hand in soon.
imec project to be done before monday.
fooo !
all three subjects at 1 go.

will be taking my usual after test break.
may be another
take-the-heavy-bag-and-go-to-esplanade-and-shoot-just-to-get-home-extremely-tired-with-a-freaking
-faulty-memory-card-that-made-you-lost-the-whole-shots.
maybe :/
but will be spending money on these few things again.

- a vacuum box for the baby and lenses.
- a clock ( for f and no, it's not a valentine present. i'm not that unromantic.)
- a polarizer mrc, again due to dri's poison but i guess it's necessary anyway.
- some pants for chinese new year.

anyway, i was taking a break from the god-damn-NOTES-that-i-already-cant-wait-to-burn-them-all.
and was browsing tru my "photography" folder.
and realised that.
actually ah...i like have a lot and a lot and a lot of nice pics that i haven't even process.
as in...haven't put a PASS on it.
ok ok..
everytime after a shoot.
i'll pic the best pics...process them...and throw them in another folder to separate with the lousy shots lah.
so...yeah,
actually there ARE A LOT of pics that i don't even remember i took still.
it's so gonna take some time to process them all.
which means =
more money to fork out.
= upgrade the god-damn-lousy-old-virus-infected-laptop.
so can process faster lah.
or else load so slow i also no mood to process and show people ah.

anyway,
i will, u like it or not, put like at least 1 pic for every post from now on.
so here's the pics for today.


my very first hunt wif the baby.
when i still don't know simi is shutter speed simi aperture that time and was basically shooting in P and A mode.

splash.

i seriously didn't expect this month to be that busy.
well, i know it's gonna be a busy month.

i thought that once i step in singapore,
i'll be able to do all the photoshoppin i'm suppose to be doing.
like saint virus' drummist wallpaper which is yet to be done.
but i'd postpone those till when we have another photoshoot in march.
and of coz,
helux :(
i'm terribly sorry f,
do they still want it ?

and i wanted very much to also publish another blog for the thing i'm tryin to start wif f.

but luckily still can catch up.
