Working on it.

Talent makes doing things you love easier.
Love comes from nowhere else but the heart, naturally.
Hard-work makes the untalented achieve things they naturally love possible.
It just takes a longer period of time.

Dreams

I have been going back for dance recently, in preparation for the musical taking place in December, and boy, I sure am in need of help of trainings. Been dancing quite a bit for the past week, having muscle aches, but nevertheless, it was a wonderful feeling to be back in the dance studio and just dance.

I miss dancing so much, it felt so awesome to be back! Sweat it all out, and dance like no one is watching.

As i sit here,

Thinking hard about my future, what will I be doing ultimately?
Is it possible to pursue my dreams?
Can I cope if I went ahead and take my baby steps towards my far-fetched dream?
How will my future job be like?
What will my life be like?

A simple, low budget day

Spent a simple quality day out with Irf over at Vivocity, and i have lots of pictures to share! Heehee!

So on this sunny day, this is us!
Irf was telling me that there's this cool blog he found that has cool levitating pictures, and with my new Oly, we decided to give levitating shots a try too!

Here are some of the examples of the levitating shots we saw
Cool shit right! So we gave it a shot and here are our end products!

Our very first shot, with him just 'floating' off the ground, heh!
Texting on the go?
Yakking on the phone?
Just landing?
Running?
Urhmm, a funny failed shot of me, ballet??
Pointy toes
Getting better!
And those were the successful shots we managed to snap before we were both really sweaty and warm! Hehehe, had much fun and we shall do it again with better and more interesting ones!!

Us, tired and sweaty from the sun and jumping
After we got in to the air conditioned place, i was craving for some banana, and we happen to pass by this shop called fruit paradise, and we gave it a try.
Banana Mango
Strawberry Mango
Banana Chocolate
All cleared and filled up our tummy! Super nice omg! Can foresee us going back for more soon!
=p
The very satisfied us!
goodnight and toodles!!

In a blink of an eye

It is already Friday, and my AL ends next Tuesday. Time literally flew past me catching me off guard! This week have been really well spent, going for movies and meeting up with friends and spending quality time with Irf.

I'm sure i'm going to miss this freedom when i get back to work. Where meetups are real rare, and movies are difficult to come by. Much less to say spending some time with Irf. So just let me bask in this happy moments for the remaining 5 days before i go back to reality.

Just caught the smurfs with Irf today, and oh gawd, they are so smurfingly CUTE!! Teeheehee, if only our real life is as lovely as depicted in the show!

Okok, enough of dreaming, i shall head to bed and have some dreams for real.

Ending off with a camwhoring pic of me and Irf. Loving my EP3 more!

hello to new car-mee-rah!

hey all, it's been long since i last updated this space, and i was previously gushing on about how much i like the GF3, but that was before i got to see G3 with it's crazy lovely swivel screen.
So i went ahead and sold my old trusty 1 year old LX3, intending to upgrade to a micro 4/3 in view of my increasing interest in photography thanks to my dear Irf.
But on the fateful day that i have planned to go get my G3, it was out of stock. Hah, how sad. Being all sad, i went home and sulked for a few days, whining about how sucky it is to be without a camera on hand.

Then Irf happily and casually asked me if i had ever considered the olympus pen EP3, and i confidently said no, and brushed it away. I only had to ask him 1 question, that is if it had a swivel screen, and he said no, so i just striked it out of my list totally.
But as the days go by and G3 not being in stock, Irf was telling me how he felt that a G3 might be too bulky for my liking in the long run. I thought about it, and went to do a research. Well, true to that, i kind of felt that way too.

But i still stood strong as i was very much in love with G3, until i did thorough research, and hands on for this EP3.

I still have my reserves with regards to this EP3, which is more expensive, and has no swivel screen which is exactly what i was looking for....

But apparently, EP3 has got quite abit of art filters which i like, especially the pinhole effect which i have absolutely loved from my LX3, which G3 does not have.

I finally caved in when i was at the camera shop, and took the EP3. And well, so far so good, like the pictures it give so far. I still have the same difficulty of camwhoring as there is not swivel screen, but well, there are always pros and cons to weigh, no?

I was presented with the white and black, and it took me like say, 15-20mins to decide on the colour? Would LOVE to have it in white, but because the camera is already slightly bulky, the white makes it look even bigger. And being afraid that the camera will t
lowish of dirty easily in the long run, i decided on black.urn yel

From time to time i still think longingly of the white, but reminded myself of why i took the black, and well, let's just say black is a very very safe colour, yea?

Heehee, i shall to babble anymore further. Shall just let the first batch of pictures do it's job.
No photoshop, no editting, just purely out of my new Oly. The only ammendments i make, is to resize the pictures for faster uploading.
:)

Very first picture taken at home on the night i brought this home, which is incidentally on my birthday. An expensive birthday gift for myself on my 21st!
random shots.
Brought Oly out the next day and tested out the different art filters as shown below.

Soft Focus
Pop Art
Pale&Light Colour
Light Tone
Grainy Film
Pin Hole
Diorama
Cross Process
Gentle Sepia
Dramatic Tone
Dramatic tone looked kind of freaky on humans, but on landscape, it's not to bad!
Like that! This was shot on the bus we were on in the Dramatic Tone mode.

ok, that's all for today!
My 21st birthday came and went, nothing amazing, no celebration, just a day out with Irf and dinner with Irf and my family. Simple, but i like it this way.
:)

Thanks to everyone for their well wishes!!
