Break Time

Okay.... so I got my camera. But then, I don't have my streamyx anymore since I'll be moving house soon. So with this connection now, I somehow haven't been able to upload any pictures at the moment.

So I decided I'll save up all the photos at the moment, and I'll give u guys a 'batch' update later when I get a better connection, I don't know when..... but I will, hahaha.


Anyway, moving on to ground zero. My house is a mess right now, since we're currently getting ready to move house (well, it's ALWAYS been a mess)..... I honestly disagree with moving BeFoRe New Year.... (Jan 1), since it'll be a hassle and everybody's in Holiday mood. But due to some complications, we have to.

I might be moving on 30th Dec, so, if any of you would be kind enough to lend a helping hand, I would really appreciate it ^.^


That's all for now, next update should be AFTER New Year so.....

Wishing everybody a Happy New 2009, give yourself some time to sit back and think about what you've done this year, what you've liked most this year, what was your most embarrassing moment this year, what's the happiest moment.... and so on.... And then look forward, into another fun filled year to come.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
謹賀新年！！
新年快乐！！

Thank you so very very much Santa...

Christmas comes every once in a year.... the festival of giving and sharing....
This year, was no different. Or at least I thought it was no different.


I don't know why, but I've been so crazy about getting a camera lately.... It just bugged me sooooo soOOOoo soo much! It's been quite a long time since I last felt like that. However.... money always proved to be a problem for everything I wanted. Even this time.

After some eye distorting browsing all over the internet.... some advice here and there, blar and blar.... I finally came to my choice, an RM2000++ Nikon DSLR D60:



Anyway, my wish was that.... I could get it before New Year. Though it seemed literally impossible.... I still wished.... So that I could take as many pictures as I wanted on New Year itself.... and at least capture as many memories as I could before everybody started leaving next year... and create as many memories before I ended my teens.....

I was about to give up hope on it, that I won't be able to get it before New Year.

And as a last desperate measure.... I turned to my mom. And so unexpected to me as it seemed... plus the situation that we're now in.... she decided to help me make my wish come true.


I really am at a lost of words of how to thank her. Saying thank you will never be enough. Even though this isn't anything big like a car or a house or anything. But to me, to her.... it was already the best she could give me.

Really... Thank you mom, and Merry Christmas.
お母さん。。。。ほんとに。。。。ありがとうな。

Camera Dilemma?

If you look at the timestamps of most of my blog posts, you might realise that most of my blog posts would be done after 12:00a.m. I don't know whether this is normal, but I think it's because I usually only update my blog after I lie down on the bed and realise I can't sleep.


Anyway, Sorry, no pics yet, coz I haven't received the pics taken during our trip for a certain 'Someone', who's hard to get, and seems to have gone for a 'vacation' at the moment.


So, after coming back from the trip, what have I been doing? Frankly, nothing much, except eating leftover lamb chops for the last few days, replenishing my sleeping hours that I lost during the 3 days before and on the trip itself, and lastly boring myself once again with this laptop and wandering up and down my house (no, my house ain't big, but when you get bored to some extent.....)

And for the last 3 days, today counts too (it's past 12am), I've been busying myself with something new...... Hunting for Cameras..... erm well..... hunting using the internet.

It's been a long time I've wanted a camera, and I was always fickle whether should I get a Video Camera, or a Camera. Video, photo, video? photo? which?? Well, to explain why I like videos is too long a story for you to read, and to explain why photos are precious aren't needed.... but anyway, lately, I finally decided I'd get a Camera (for Photos I mean)

Knowing the person I am..... I ain't satisfied with the latest 10 Mega Pixel RM1,399 Sony DSC W-300 that everyone would want if they could afford (well, I wouldn't mind one if you gave it to me for free):





But then again, I craved for something MORE..... something more "at the heart of the image", something "like.no.other"...... So after a long full-time 1 day's hunt. I came down to 2 decisions.


01. Sony DSLR A350





02. Nikon DSLR D40X (2nd Hand from Norman)

Am I going overboard?? Hmm, I hope not... I trust that my few years of consumer digital camera photography has given me enough experience to handle something new.... something that I could fully utilize it's ability. Even after going into BTech (my current studying course), I just can't seem to take my mind off Film and TV Production and it's related fields.....

Well, after yet ANOTHER full day's (today) of weighing the angels and demons within these 2 cameras..... I have still not yet come to a conclusion.

Anyway, I might be shopping around tomorrow to check out the prices for both cameras and future accessories that I might need. So much for today's post. I ought to get some sleep now.

Short Life Update

Seems like I haven't updated anything solid since the past 3 weeks. Well.... that makes it since I came back to KK eh?

Well it's not that I don't have anything to update, just that I either too caught up with stuff, or too bored to actually say anything. I haven't really got any 'inspiration' to say anything now, I'll just mention what I've been up too the last few weeks.

Since I got back in KK, I've been having all those delicious food up to date that I couldn't keep track of what I've been eating. I'll post something about this later.... coz all the pics are in my handphone and I haven't had the time to transfer them to my computer. (if only I had a camera instead)

So right now, I've been keeping myself busy with some things I haven't done in a while. 1st, Practicing my piano! Well, since I haven't played for about 4 months, some of my songs seem to have a 'part' of it 'lost' from my memory..... Seems like it'll take a couple of weeks to put them all back together as they've all jumbled up to form something else.

Besides that, I'm 'officially' learning my Japanese. Why do I say 'officially'?? Because all this time I've been learning it on my own using my own found resources, movies, and the internet. But from my 3 week experience at learning from a teaching centre, I am starting doubt my choice of looking for a Tutor. (Somehow I wish I could just go to Japan and get done with it)

And then.... once in while-unexpected-time-of-the-week..... My friends would be calling me out for "yam cha" sessions.... or playing Badminton.... or so far only once, the movies. But it's been fun though, it brings back memories...

For the most troublesome part, I'm currently 'organising'... yea... I guess it's organising.... our ex-class Trip to Melinsung!!! Which will be on this coming Tuesday. "Thinking of what kind of Food you guys wanna eat is really really giving me a headache, gimme a break man... and the BarBeQue... O.M.G....."

***p/s: To everyone attending the Melinsung Trip, Please remember to bring a set of your SCHOOL UNIFORM along, YES!!, the TTSS school uniform.... by uniform, I MEAN BOTH SHIRT AND PANTS/SKIRT, not just the shirt.... (as some people thought....) reason?? You'll know on the day itself. *smirk*

Lastly, to fill in the rest of my spare time..... I spend it sleeping, or just staring at my computer screen saver..... and for those of you who's been to my house before, and seen my tv (which has been "mute" for a whole 3 years), It's Been Repaired!!! So at least I get to watch some TV now, hahaha.

I guess I won't be updating till after I'm back from my trip.... with some photos (hopefully).....

For now,
Tata...

Tagged..... again............................

Here I am again, updating my blog at 4 in the morning with a tag, but anyhow, I guess these tags might let you guys know me better, or whatever keeps you interested.....

So here goes:

1. What's your ambition?
- Ambition, actually, I never really thought of one.... but the older I get.... the more I feel like..... .... maybe forget it......

2. Who is more important to you? Friends or boy/girlfriend?
- Can I say both? I guess I'll say both are as important....... Honestly I don't know what it's really like to be with a partner, but I guess when the time comes, I'll still treasure both my friends and my partner. No matter what.

"Friends are like dirt on your clothes.... They come and go through washings.... but the real ones stay put and sooner or later get stuck forever" -myself

3. How often do you think of committing suicide?
- Never did, never will. Even if everything goes wrong in life.... I'd take down as many bad things as possible with myself, but never end life myself.

4. Do you think you have enough confidence?
- I think I do.... well, then again it depends on what aspect you're talking about.

5. How many babies do you want?
- Errr......... no idea....

6. Do you believe in the supernatural? (God, ghosts, fairies, you name it)
- I guess I don't..... (coz I've never seen anything like that??) but then again saying that just because I haven't seen is..... ...... odd? Let's just say I do.

7. What is your goal for this year?
- The year's coming to an end lol. But this year..... ....... to create as many memories as possible....... (does that make sense to you? Well, it does for me though, ^_^)

8. Do you believe in Love for Eternity?
- Can't say I've tried, but I guess I believe.

9. What's a perfect Girl/Boyfriend like to you? (list 10)

- .
- .
- .
- 08. "
- 09. Love is all that matters
- 10. Love is all that matters

10. What are you really afraid of?
- Heh........ quite a hard question if you ask me..... but right now at this very moment.... I'll say that I'm afraid of losing those that are precious to me.

11. What are your bad habits?
- I always lose stuff, too lazy to talk sometimes, loves to sleep.

12. Is there anything you wanna tell the people who hate you?

13. State a random fact about yourself.
- My favourite song is currently a Japanese song: 小さな恋の歌

14. What does flying mean to you?

15. What do you crave for the most currently?
- Right here? Right now?? FOOD!!!

16. Most unexpected gift you received so far, and when?
- Hmm..... almost forgot about this one.... but I guess a 'hand warmer' is quite unexpected.... (those reusable packages of salted liquid solution that could turn warm after pressing a metal piece inside it) considering we're living in Malaysia where we can cook our eggs on the road. Forgotten when.... but that was sometime when I was in Primary school I guess, birthday present.

17. Describe the person who tagged you in 7 words.
- a young-hyperactive-moody-wonderful-yet-unexpectable-girl

As we grow older...

This post might be a bit odd as my first actual post coming back to KK, but anyway....

Once again, I couldn't sleep. My mind just seems to be to active at the wrong times of the day, so I ended up here again, typing my thoughts into this computer, and up onto my blog, which I didn't really want to at first, cause I felt it was a little awkward, but anyway, here it is....

---------
1 week... I've been back for slightly more than a week. Yet all too soon, I've already felt.... something that I didn't want to. Even if it's just a week, I felt that somehow..... with my friends.... everyone... each other.... have somehow started to grow apart.

I remember back in high school, there were times, when all of us would know what Steam would buy for breakfast; what Amos's math marks were; what was CKCham's favourite phrase of the day; what was the height of our classmates; where the girls would usually sit and eat; what would be the topic for that day..... and so on.....

Yet now, even as we talk to each other, there's so many things that we don't know anymore. As we live in different parts of the world, as we busy ourselves with our own business these days, even with the best technology in this world.... it seems we're all slowly growing apart.


As we grow older, there will be things.... that will naturally disappear.... Things that we no longer have to do, while other things that we will start to do; there will be more and more troublesome things, things that we just wave off with a sentace of "I'm busy", or "that's a waste of time", or "we'll do that next time", or some sort.....

In another few years.... we might not ever be able to do the same things we could do last time.... or even now....

And all those worthless things we did, the stupid quarrels we had, all the time we had together.... now turning into memories.... precious memories..... I really never would've thought it would be like this back then.
