COOKINGGGG IS SO FUNNNNNNNNNN
hahahahahahahhaha hello everybody I just DIY and made some (horrible) dish.
i was too lazy to change and go out to buy food so i decided to just cook something from home and eat. (quite regretful now)
-
opened the fridge, saw eggs, took 2.
saw a tomato, took it out.
saw a cucumber, took it out - and only after cutting/scraping off the skin, realised its some (i think winter)melon...... -.- used it anyway
shrimps, took some out.
roasted pork!!!, took it out.
left over braised peanuts from a few days back, took them out.
kimchi!!!, took it out.
threw everything into the pan, realised the melon is not getting soft, poured some water, add some salt, add some oil, add some salt.......
tadah jiahu's dish. hahahaha.
(looks horrible, tastes okay, just very salty.)
i think the shrimps killed the dish. i think.
i will have a better attempt next time!!!!!!!!
Goodbye.

I like things that smells nice. Just nice.. Not something too overwhelming.. Like the Olive Body Butter I just applied. It's just nice. It makes me smell and feel good. and happy.
I also love my perfume. Daisy from Marc Jacobs. I love Daisies.. Actually I really like flowers. They're so pretty and their smell's level is perfect! I like to open the doors of the fridge at the florist. The lovely smell of flowers... You only smell them at a whiff. I really want to visit a field filled with flowers one day. The last time I visited something similar was at Malaysia, some strawberry field where we can pluck strawberries as we wanted and just pay for them later. I was really happy then! We dipped the (already very sweet) strawberries in sugar and had it for supper in the hotel. Strawberry was my favourite fruit. :)
Recently I went for a shoot in the woods. I realised I really like being surrounded by nature. The trees, the leaves, the air. It's so peaceful. calm and enlightening :) But one thing I have not come to accept, the chao mosquitoes. I'm still suffering from the bites. I don't believe that nature lovers can embrace these mosquitoes. I DONT BELIEVE. (Sidenote: I think my blood is really sweet, I clinched abt 13 bites that day.) If I'm going into the woods again... I will definitely bring insect repellent(though I have never been quite convinced that insect repellent works).
Speaking of mosquitoes, some guy from NEA came to my house today to check for mozzies, My dad let him in and I met him at the kitchen, I gave him a stare..something like a "wtf-who-are-you-why-are-you-in-my-house-im-watching-you-dont-you-dare-do-anything-if-not-i-will-skin-you-alive-get-out-!-!-!" stare. Surprisingly he seems to have got my message, cause he only checked the kitchen and the toilet and left quickly. Before he left he said, "be careful, there's dengue going around in your nearby blocks". :') so nice of him to warn us right. tsk i instantly regretted but too bad he left alr cannot give him a forgiving smile.
There isn't really a main point for this blogpost.....

It's scary how time passes so quickly. In the blink of an eye, we're only left with 2 performances for NDP. *hyperventilates mixed feelings :S :? :) :@ :# :$ :< :D :P :B :|* Just a few months ago, we were still lost, everywhere you see unfamiliar faces. Now, we're pretty tight, having fun feeling comfortable with each other's company. Isn't that really heartwarming? :) I'm just praying that everyone will be able to forge wonderful lasting friendships. It's my first time ever joining a big scale event under SOKA, other than YEP2009(Youth Expedition Project) cause that was technically under the school, this will be such a memorable experience, I'm sure.
Okay the end of NDP also marks the start of my job search. As many of you already know, I've been bumming my life off since I've graduated(other than NDP). Not very good, but it wasnt all that bad either. I took it as time to relax, sort out my priorities, figure out my life and spend sometime with myself (which was pretty awesome I must say!) So as the date for me to become a full-time bummer draws closer, I'm starting to get a little worried too. Still kinda lost as to where/what I want to do but as for now, I guess it is best to start preparing my portfolio and resume, regardless of what's my direction. I could really do with a truckload full of advices so if you've anything to offer pleasssssssse talk to me. ^^
Just want to shoutout a huge thank you to all my friends and family for being so supportive and a standing pillar, kinda needed all of that really.. :)
Goodbye.

I shop online sometimes, you know those typical blogshops. Most of the time when I make a purchase, I get disappointed like 70% of the time when my items arrive. Either the material suck balls totally untrue to image, or the clothes can't fit me (I don't have a very "regular" sized body like the other girls), or it took so long to arrive at my house I don't like them anymore. The 30% happiness goes to the fail-proof purchases like probably stuff from Body Shop, or atas brands etc. But the thing about atas brands is that you end up paying a lot for shipping so I always end up just shopping at local blogshops. It's been sometime since I've shopped online actually.
And then recently(actually just), I was bored so I went online to blogshops hoping to see if there may be something nice to consider buying. But everything/everywhere on these "community pages" blogshops were like a total turn off. They were all screaming in my face or something!
1) 9 out of 10 items are either "Sold Out", "Out Of Stock" or "Join the Waiting List".
SERIOUSLY. How shitty is it to enter the shop, see so many pretty dresses/tops and then just realising that there's this unseen rule -can see cannot buy-
If the item is out of stock then jolly well get it out of the way? What is the point of putting it there just for show. UNLESS it is on backorders. unless.
2) For goodness sake, you are doing a business. Does it help if you put things like this?
"Please comment only if you're truly interested in purchasing,
don't waste my time and yours. "
What happened to customer servicing? How much time can you waste emailing someone details. So what if that person ends up not buying your item. Too bad for her, thats all. But if everyone becomes such a prick what kind of impression are you setting your "shop" with.
The thing is almost EVERY blogshop in the whole community is introducing their site this way. If you're so worried about wasting your time then forget about selling things altogether. Turn off max.
3) GET SOME DECENT IMAGES/PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOUR ITEMS.
How difficult is it to even do that. It is so shitty to see slipshod images, shot in low lighting, I can hardly see the prints/colour or shape of the garment. Put some effort into it, shoot it AT LEAST against a clean plain wall with good natural light. A few angles, close up on details. Of course I wouldn't say it is the best way to capture the garment but at least for blogshops it is good enough. It's so simple!!
If only all the blogshops can see these points and make online shopping a happy experience.
神经病 also dunno why am I over reacting. Dunno la bye
Goodbye.

Photography is all about what one sees. If five people see a scene, each one will see it differently. For example, if few people are shown the scene of a swimming pool, one might see the people, some one might see glasses of juices and food kept on the sides, another one might see the blue water and the reflections of the water around, someone might see the minute details, other might see the holistic view.
A photographer wishes to share what he sees by capturing it into an image. So there are no superior or inferior photographers, but only unique photographers.
Seeing is the pre-requisite for photography, seeing the world with wide open eyes in many different ways from minute to enlarged scenes.
Every photograph clicked by you reflects who ‘you’ are, how ‘you’ see the world.
To enhance the power of seeing and to capture a scene, humans have devised a wonder device called ‘Camera’. What I see from my DSLR, I cannot even see with my open eyes. The various lenses of the DSLR further enhance one’s perspective of view. One can see the same scene in so many different ways using various lenses, from macro to telephoto to wide angle.
Finding what equipment to own and learning to use the equipment comes with practice and experimentation. More the experimentation, better one becomes at using the equipment and hence enhancing one’s power of seeing and capturing the scene.
When a photographer prints an image of what he saw, using his camera and equipment, there is a real urge in him to share this photograph with people, to let them also enjoy what he enjoyed. Reaching people and sharing one’s work with them is very important for a photographer, not just to earn his living but also to unburden himself of overflowing passion of sharing his world of wonder and awe
One starts somewhere, and slowly gets better in everything: seeing, using equipment and reaching out people. To me photography seems to be an unending journey, where one can always do something new, something better than before, something more beautiful
