Mope

I should stop indulging in self-pity... And start fighting for what I think is worth fighting for.

I need consultation.

Dreams... or Nightmares?

What good is a good dream if you know that it is never going to happen? The dream might as well be a nightmare...

Even my dreams are toying with me.

Fireworks

School has started already! It's ok so far I guess, waking up at 0730 everyday and going to school is something I could really get used to after 0530 every morning and falling in... Lol. The whole place is like RJ again! Zomg. I thought it would be like a new experience, but every other person you meet is someone you've seen in school before... Something like a severe case of deja vu, to use the term loosely.

Shucks I'm trying so hard to find a song that will suit my vocal range for Resonance auditions... Why do they want people to prepare a song for them man... I'm a ruddy bass I can't sing high melodies. Sigh. Talk about your uphill tasks. I think I'll end up with no CCAs in NUS. Oh well. More time for mugging! =P

NUS Rag was on the 11th of August, which was two Saturdays ago. It was held at the Padang and it was such a HUGE event... So many times greater in magnitude than I had ever imagined. Well I went down with the illusion that I could grab several good shots of the event but without a media pass I couldn't do much, restricted to long-range shots or backstage shots so... If you want better photos (and I mean MUCH better photos) you should go to Glori's blog (use the links at the side dum-dum)...

This is my OG (well, a part of it... Plus Liangyi! Wahaha.) before the whole event... From extreme left going clockwise: Kaiqian, Shawn, Mingjie, Liangyi and Yu Kit.

This is Arjun, one of the dancers for Medicine... The makeup is very elaborate!

This was the launch of the event... Balloons flying over St. Andrew's Cathedral...

This was an UBER long range shot from the top of the stands of the last part of the first performance... Can't remember who liaoz. Haha.

Another uber long range shot from a... Performance. Hahaha! I can't remember whether it was by a faculty or hall... This one is the "magic school bus" one...

A last pic of my og... From extreme left going clockwise again: Denise, Li Jia, Yao Chen, Shawn, Alvin, Yu Xuan, Zeying, Diana, Celeste and Kaiqian.

I went with Jon Teo to take fireworks on Friday, it was so sudden, he smsed me at the morning during PBL asking me if I wanted to take photos of fireworks that night, naturally I agreed. The place was so darn crowded when we got there, we had to jostle our way through the crowd to hunt for a good spot to take photos. Then we realised that they actually opened up the Esplanade Rooftop Terrace for people to view the fireworks and so we actually contemplated going back on Saturday like 5 hours before the event to grab good spots... But we weren't crazy enough to do it.

Just posting some shots of the fireworks for people who didn't go for the two days and wanna view them... =P

As you can see the huge crowd in front of me; terrible! I wanted to get some architecture below the fireworks but that was impossible, so I got the crowd instead.

There're loads more where these came from... If you wanna see more just ask me lolll... Peace out!

Oh and I've decided on a song I think... "To Where You Are" by Josh Groban. Wahaha. I hope I do him justice.

Landing In London

Landing In London - 3 Doors Down

I woke up today in London

As the plane was touching down

And all I could think about was Monday

And maybe I'd be back around

If this keeps me away much longer

I don't know what I will do

You've got to understand it's a hard life

That I'm going through

And when the night falls in around me

I don't think I'll make it through

I'll use your light to guide the way

'Cause all I think about is you

But L.A. is getting kind of crazy

And New York's is getting kind of cold

I keep my head from getting lazy

I just can't wait to get back home

And all these days I spent away

I'll make up for this, I swear

I need your love to hold me up

When it's all too much to bear

And when the night falls in around me

And I don't think I'll make it through

I'll use your light to guide the way

'Cause all I think about is you

And all these days I spent away

But I'll make up for this, I swear

I need your love to hold me up

When it's all too much to bear

And when the night falls in around me

And I don't think I'll make it through

I'll use your light to guide the way

'Cause all I think about is you

"You'll Never Walk Alone"

P.S. Contrary to popular belief, the songs I post DO NOT reflect my mood or what's happened to me recently... most of the time. Thanks for your concern though...

Illusions

Depression. Disappointment. Disgust. Damnation.

Eternal damnation.

Everything is an illusion, an illusion to make you comfortable. The illusion makes you content, makes you feel safe and confident.

This illusion is called hope.

Then reality crashes down on you like waves, driving you against the brutal, unforgiving rocks of truth.

Even when you try to protect yourself by playing down the odds, somehow all it does is make the loss more bitter.

They say that the truth will set you free.

The only thing that the truth brings is hurt and misery.

Hope is overrated.

"You'll Never Walk Alone"... no, you won't.

Worn Me Down

Worn Me Down by Rachel Yamagata

Gone, she’s gone.
How do you feel about it?
That’s what I thought.
You’re real torn up about it.
And I wish you the best
I could do without it
And I will because you’ve worn me down
Oh, I will because you’ve worn me down

Worn me down like a road.
I did everything you told.
Worn me down to my knees.
I did everything to please you.
But you can’t stop thinking about her.
No, you can’t stop thinking about her.

And you’re wrong. You’re wrong.
I’m not overreacting.
Something is off.
Why don’t we ever believe ourselves?
And I, oh I, I feel it more for you.
And I will because you’ve worn me down.
And I will because you have worn me down.

Worn me down like a road.
I did everything you told.
Worn me down to my knees.
I did everything to please.
But you can’t stop thinking about her.
No, you can’t stop thinking about her.

She’s so pretty.
She’s so damn right.
But I’m so tired of thinking about her, again, tonight.

Worn me down like a road.
I did everything you told.
Worn me down to my knees.
I did everything to please you.

Worn me down like a road.
I did everything you told me to do.
But you, you can’t stop thinking about her.
No, you can’t stop thinking about her.
No, you can’t stop thinking about her.
No, you can’t stop thinking of her.

"You'll Never Walk Alone"... seems like I always will

Sunrise

Went to East Coast Park today as planned to take pics of sunrise with Jon Teo... There was a Liverpool match on last night from 0030 to 0230 and I had to leave the house a 0515 so I hardly slept at all! (Actually I wasn't supposed to sleep but I fell asleep anyway... For like 1 hour plus. Damn heng I woke up at 0500... Otherwise Jon Teo would have positively murdered me)

So I walked out to the bus stop outside Sunset Way, hoping to catch a bus to Clementi Mrt... Only to find out that the first bus was at like 0552... At that rate I would not have been able to catch the sunrise. So I panicked, and grabbed the first cab to Bedok Mrt Station... The freaking ride cost me $22.50! Zomg... But I managed to reach Bedok in 15 minutes... At 0545. The taxi driver was going at 130km/h all the way la! Damn exhilarating haha.

After Jon Teo reached Bedok Interchange we took a bus to the nearest bus stop to Bedok Jetty (which is not very near) and crossed the flyover and half-walked, half-jogged to the jetty... At that time it was 0655... Almost sunrise. We could already see the sky brightening. By the time we found a good spot on the jetty and set up our tripods and equipment, all ready to take the sunrise... The sun looked like it had already risen. We spent our first 10-15 minutes at the jetty taking cloud cover and swearing at our timing and our luck... It was like, Murphy's Law all over again.

Then, while I was taking pictures of the fishermen at the jetty, Jon Teo suddenly prodded me and yelled, "SUN!" Lolll... And true enough, the sun was shining brightly in the sky...

We took many many many many photos on this "Pathway To Heaven" as I call it... Experimenting with different exposures, this one is slightly underexposed, which gives the better contrast, which is how I like it. The more underexposed ones gave the "red sun" and later in the day when the sun got brighter we had better results...

I think on this one the contrast in the sea is more evident... You can really see the "pathway" of light.

This one is the "red sun" one... The pathway is... Redder. Lol.

Jon and I then started taking silhouette shots of each other... I like this one.

I like this pic... It's somehow.. Significant. Like how small we are compared to Nature's grandeur. Or a lonely walk by the side of the beach... Desolation, loneliness, solitude.

When the sun had fully risen we then took a long walk down east coast park, taking random photos along the way. This was taken at the lake where people practice wakeboarding...

That's Jon Teo with his tripod and camera lolll...

National Day is coming up! Happy birthday Singapore!!!

After the walk to Mac's I was so zonked out I had no more inspiration for phototaking... So we went to the bus stop to take our respective buses home... I met my BMT Sergeant Oong on the way lol he forgot my name and was like, "I know your face" Lol... Quite funny but it was good to see him again.

Yup I just wanna say a big thank-you to Jon Teo for actually agreeing to wake up so early in the morning and go all the way to east coast park just to take photos with me... Very sporting! And also a sorry to my OG people for not going out with you guys later I was really, REALLY zonked... Like K.O.ed. Hope you guys understand! :)

Archangel says:
Also, the Recycle Bin icon cannot be deleted from the desktop like other icons. Deleting a registry key from the Windows Registry resolves this issue. The key varies with the version of the operating system. In Windows XP and later, the Recycle Bin and other special icons can be hidden by options in the Display Properties control. However in the Windows Vista operating system, the Recycle Bin can

Archangel says:
be deleted from the desktop.

Captain Commando

I had a revelation a few days ago while playing Marvel Vs Capcom... Or an epiphany as Homer would call it :D

Tay Ping Hui in the 9 o' clock show "Honour & Glory" is a commando officer right? Or more specifically, a commando officer with the rank of captain.

(Okay imagine a pic of Tay Ping Hui wearing an army uniform and his red beret and you can see the 3 bars on his shoulder... I couldn't find one.)

Therefore, he should be called... Captain Commando!

And in the show say "Captain.... COMMANDO!" like the guy does in Marvel Vs. Capcom and have super cool moves like "Captain Fire!" and "Captain Storm!" and have three other sidekicks to help him in his battles against the forces of evil and...

Sorry my lameness gets the better of me sometimes... I just can't stand the 9 o' clock show. Lol.

Go and sleep already Celeste! Wahaha
