Move over digital photography; make way for lomography!!!!
Accompanied Dickson to get his colour splash at the lomography embassy at Bugis on Tuesday night.. After which, we took some "test-shots" at Sim Lim Food Court, which he processed a day later and brought them to the CC today.. (He finished a roll of film in a day lahz!) I hope Dickson doesn't mind me posting his pictures here! xD
sharon me and ahbu.. lol
Group shot: ya wen, alfred, dickson, me n sharon..
Btw, this is random but read this blog.. The author claims it's educational.. lol..
Suddenly, film seems so fun with lomography.. So fun that Dickson wants to abandon his 30D! GIVMME! GIVMEEE! haha.. Looking the the "lomography handbook", I r tempted to buy the Horizon sia.. Even a digital program that pieces pictures together to form a panorama shot can't shoot such beautiful and WIDE panorama shot.. IT'S FREAKING WIDE LAHZ! Like fish eye!
This is a normal (maybe HDR) digital panorama..
This is digital manipulated but it's the effect that Horizon gives! LOOK THE EDGES!!! <3
But if I buy Horizon ($385), I would not be able to buy flash le.. Haiz~ There are so many things I wanna buy but no money.. T-T
I think I kena poisoned liao.. ARK! >-<
Wednesdays are evil!
Wednesday, 30th Jan 2008
I was making my way to school when my phone rang and the voice of Mr. Yee Mon came through.. In his Myanmar-cum-South Korean-cum-Singlish accent, he said,"Today cell be tootoral kas is postpon til nex wek." Ok let me translate that, "Today's cell biology tutorial will be postponed to next week." Great! I'm at Redhill mrt station, so I got down walked to the opposite platform and headed back home.. No way I'm gonna wait 5 hours for the next class.. In case you are clueless I shall provide you a copy of my timetable..
Micro bio lectures only resume this Friday and AAP is PBL (means no lessons lahz!) so the first lesson actually starts at 10am with Cell Bio tutorial.. Since HPI lab is postponed to next week (WTFBBQSAUCE! I shall rant about this later), we would have a 4 hours break in between before HPI tutorial.. BUT with Yee Mon's call JUST ONE HOUR before 10am, there is NO WAY I'm gonna reach school at 10am to wait for the lesson at 3pm.. That's why I'm comfortably seated at home blogging.. Can't he have told us YESTERDAY during the period which I rushed to school just for the one hour AAP tutorial?!?!? (Jap was cancelled coz shigeta-san was ill)
Ok LET ME RANT ABOUT THE POSTPONED HPI LAB!!! FUCK THE COMPLUSORY BMS SEMINAR! It doesn't even concern VeT lahz! arrgghhh! Do you know what it means if it's postponed to next week (CNY eve)?! I NEEDA RUSH TO AIRPORT STRAIGHT FROM CLASS!!! I mean I needa reach the airport at 5pm.. and lab ends at 4pm.. Means I have to wear winter clothes to school, bring my bag and notes to Japan and not bathe till I reach my hotel in Japan.. FUCK.
I hope HPI tutorial is postponed if not I'm not gonna attend anyway.. I r not superman I can't fly.. There's no Micro Bio tutorial anyway.. At least the Micro Bio teachers are nice and know that most of us needa rush home to eat reunion dinner while ahbu needs to fly to Japan.. Can't TP end school at like 12pm on CNY eve just like all corporate operations and other education institutions?! Don't they have homes to return to for reunion dinners?
SoY 2008
Saturday, 26th Jan 2008
Before I start talking about SoY, let me rant about the toopid ASc ECO old newspaper collection project.. ARGH!
They made us wear jeans and the freaking bright green T-shirt.. So when you are on your way there, you could see greenies everywhere.. And which garung guni you have seen wears JEANS on his job?!?!
Ask me wake up ssoo early just to knock onto some unappreciative resident's door.. This Chinese family even threw us a BIG STACK OF NEWSPAPERS so nicely tied with a thin piece of string that it broke when I was on my way to the lift.. ASc was dumb enough not to provide us with the garung guni trolley so that we would work out our muscles by going up and down to deposit the newspapers (we can't carry them all and walk around).. Best thing is we don't have any guys in our group..
Enuff of that.. I went off at 11am to meet ahzu though it was supposed to end at 1230pm.. Met ahzu and Meilin at Bedok MRT at 12pm and off we go to SoY @ Ngee Ann Poly !
ahzu wasn't cosplaying but she was in this oriental costume outfit with her red contacts.. This is damn cool! I can add watermark when I blog with this new blogger software called Windows Live Writer! haha random..
Vic and ahzu
Feli aka ahma ha n vic
Surprisingly, Feli was at the event early today.. We were at Bedok when she started calling us and asking where were we..
The venue was like so far into Ngee Ann Poly and you know how hilly NP is and you know how heavy my camera bag is.. zzz.. When I reached the venue, the number of cosfucks didn't make things better.. Lest they spoil my camera I didn't take many photos and partly becoz I slacking backstage with ahzu and gang..
Let me introduce ahzu's friend, Meilin.. I totally heart this photo coz of the lighting.. 3 flash were used; thanks to 2 500 series flash from iamacow.. Mine was on the right side.. My 430ex is not strong enough so the right looks dark.. BUT I LIKE IT! We took so long to master the lighting and thanks a lot for teaching me how to use multiple flash.. LOOK AT THE POWER OF MULTIPLE FLASH! From this I conclude that I SHOULD INVEST IN MORE FLASH!
Anyway, she was criticise by someone that her figure is not good enough to do this character.. LIKE WTF?! Her figure is perfect lahz! Whoever it is must be jealous!
Let me unleash my pedophilic tendencies and present to you the cutest cosplayers we had yesterday..
Neil *kidnaps home*
Kon! *kidnaps home*
CUTEST KONKON EVERRRR!!!! <333 "The Dog" effect does work well on kids.. Hurhur.. both of these kids are Chibi's cousins.. (see family portrait)
Luffy from One Piece.. This is one of her cousins too!
Family portrait- Chibi in the middle with blue hair surrounded by all her cousins.. xD
Jesuke- one of my favourite cosplayers but she look a bit different in person.. hmmx.. Too bad her hair blends into the background in this pic; I would like it better if it weren't for the background..
Feli as Kureha aka ahma ha.. The little bow is so cute! And she thinks she looks FAT in this photo.. -.-"
Would you like an apple?
This shinigami cosplayer is so good but I wonder why he didn't win the individual category cosplay..
Congrats to Skye's team who won the first prize for team category!
After the event ended, we (vic, ahzu, ahbu, feli and Silcyn) went for dinner at a coffee shop with Botak Jones.. I can't believe that ahzu would still wanna eat when she couldn't finish her Fillet-o-Fish for lunch (yesh AGAIN).. Plus Botak Jones' serving is sooo big..
Feli starved from morning so she ordered this LARGE fish and chips.. The waitress was damn funny coz she said,"Huh, one person can finish that much meh?" She obviously thought that we were sharing since she brought extra fork and knife.. In the end, Feli DID finish it except for a few small pieces here and there.. She can eat so much but doesn't get fat at all! TELL US YOUR SECRET!
Ahzu couldn't finish her Cajolue Chicken as usual but she still wanna kope Silcyn's cheese fries.. zzz
At the mrt station, we were tickled pink ok red by Feli's harmless comment, "I'm Deypherus on LJ, add me on LJ!" Ahzu was squatting on the floor, holding her stomach, laughing; gone with all the "I am sooo feminine.. You all should learn from me.." that you were stressing all night..
Funny thing was that Feli doesn't know what was the funny thing! (pun intended) She doesn't remember what she blogs about and when around asking "Are you guys mental?" when we were laughing our guts out.. If you are as clueless as her, this is the link to her LJ..
Trust me, it's the BEST stress buster and it can bring a smile onto your sculling face even if you think the whole world's against you.. =)
GAH!! After a fun Saturday, I have to chiong CSAS and AAP presentations.. Not to forget HPI quiz.. zzz
Happy BADday
Thanks to all who wished me "Happy Birthday!" yesterday.. But it was an awful day..
The first message from Beng early in the morning when i just got outta my comfy bed was "There might be no train to Tampines! cool eh? :)" Like wth, how cool is that?! I thought he was joking so i dilly-dallied ate my breakfast, while reading ST.. Then he CONFIRMED that THERE WAS REALLY NO FREAKING TRAIN!!! So i rushed down to the mrt station and the notice read "Disruption: Train service from Tanah Merah to Pasir Ris from both directions is not in service.." WTFHKTHBBCB!!!!
What's worse was the train stopped at EVERY.freaking.stop.after.Bugis.for.5.min.. The wait was as torturous as you read the previous sentence.. It was 15min to 9am and I was still at Paya Lebar.. Good game!
When I reach Bedok to take 69, I reach the berth just to chase a crowded bus that JUST HAPPEN to drive off.. WOW..
When I reached school, I was already 30min late.. Ms Lee, knowing the situation, gave us late-comers some allowance.. But I walked into class and dear Beng informed me that he picked no. 1 for the CSAS presentation, which means we have to present next week.. What a GREAT birthday present! and it didn't help that the lesson was draggy.. zzz
The day couldn't get any worse..
Lab was dissection.. The corpse were like 3 weeks old and they stink worse than hell.. I wore 2 masks lahz! Beng gave me his.. I dunno how he could stand the stench lahz! The cat was dissected but we got the chance to dissect the dog! Haha.. When you first cut it open, it's like all the organs were swimming in a pool of red, really red blood.. It was fun pulling out the intestines though!
After the dissection was POST-LAB! zzz I got the question on uterus of the bitch lahz! Sian.. I just lifted up the bloody uterus and anyhow named.. I think I named the uterine horn the uterine body.. DAMN!! Damn suay.. If I had gotten the cat's heart, it would be so much easier..
Then we were told that we are supposed to hand in the AAP project next week!! Which means, I have 2 presentations next week!!! The AAP project is only 1.5%, i soooo do not want to do it..
And my dad (yesh, he came back from Algeria yesterday) just told me that my lab coat flew outta the window in his haste to dry it coz i have to use it tomorrow.. (I washed it yesterday coz my sleeve had caught some of the dog's blood) That was the most hilarious thing I heard today but nevertheless I would need to buy a new lab coat..
pokemon ftw!
Never in the world would I thought that anyone would cosplay Pokemon but this is really a very good cosplay..
Presenting HQ as Misty Waterflower!
Pokemon is a anime series that we all grew up with! It definitely needs more love!
And joining the ranks of photographers is Ahzu! *clapclapclap*
Since her DtB shoot is postponed, I thought it would be a good idea to ask her out to join us.. Staying at home wouldn't improve fucked up moods.. And it's nice to have some fresh air at the beach.. Thanks Sharon for the photos! Hope this shoot helped in your school project! =)
For the first pic of the pokeballs right, we were arranging the balls when suddenly ahzu yelled, "I think I've been poisoned by some SEA CREATURE!!!!" and then I looked at her marker-stained fingers and then made a -.-" face and looked towards the Pokeballs..
and joining the photoshoot is MY PIKACHU!! WHEE~ For those who have came to my house before, you would know that this is the dirty old Pikachu on my bedside table! It's so damn cute!
but not cuter than my ahbu
You wouldn't imagine that the sky was so nice when it was raining prior to this..
The Hunted
That was one hell of a grumpy cat which was watching us when we first started shooting.. Then we decided to throw Snorelax as "prey".. and the cat really extended its paw lahz!
If you remember, when Ash first met Misty she was riding a bike and he borrowed it so he could escape from a group of Sparrows.. He got the bike "barbequed" and Misty followed him on his journey so that eventually he would be able to return her a new bike.. Man, the 2 of them should have been together! I don't like May lahz!
Togepi says "Ouch!"
This is a hilarious gif lahz! I LOL-ed so much.. The ball actually landed on my head on one of the attempts.. Luckily, i wasn't sucked into the ball.. haha
Finally, the most hilarious part- "
Take photo also need to be like that meh?" (title from an email i sent my photog friends recently)
Ahzu, you are actually a very good and dedicated photog! The photo you took while you were in this awkward pose is sooo nice! The angling is so good! And needless to say your photoshop is *thumbs up*! And i heart your Sony Alpha! Hope the zoom jam is resolved now! Click
here to view ahzu's pics..
Maybe I look like that when i'm doing crazy angles too.. haha
You are always in awkward poses shooting awkward angles.. haha!
i was LMAO so much when i viewed Sharon's photos on the train lahz..
After the shoot, we had dinner at Hei Sushi (it's an EXACT replica of Sakae).. As usual, ahzu couldn't finish her food.. And she resort to this..
"At least it doesn't seem like I didn't finish a BIG portion of MY food!"
You are the second to feli on my list of amusing people.. LOL..
So do brighten up k? Don't worry, be happy =) *forces a smile onto ahzu's face* If not you would look like the grumpy cat!
I can't wait to see your cosplay of Kisaragi Hisui next week! xD
ahbu has been watching too many animes and shooting too many cosplays..
I shalln't blog in Chinese anymore due to reactions resulting from the previous post.. zzz
Anyway, I just finished Tokyo Majin and now I'm hooked onto Black Blood Brothers (BBB)!!!! xD Actually i watched the first two episodes coz i was doing Chibi's shoot last Saturday.. I realised it was a vampire tale and Jirou is SO SHUAIII!
without his spasticated hat He reminds me of Alucard from Hellsing because of his red costume and long black hair.. But I guessed I continued watching because of this cute little kid with YELLOW HAIR and BLUE EYES! (cries out loud to yu(SPACE)ning: SOLOMON CHILD VERSION!!!!)
HE'S UBER CUTEEEEE!!!! *love*
and here's the cosplay version!
Ururu as Kotarou Mochizuki! If you are wondering how i took this photo, i crawled under a glass table and shot up! My nose was nearly flattened by my camera.. xD
haha.. this is a similar shot i took with Chibi as Zelman.. I are still at episode 5 of the anime so I have yet to see him but according to ahzu and chibi, he's hot!
We went to the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) for this shoot.. Actually, i have to pay $4 to enter.. But I heard from Wei Han some time ago that if you say that you are from TP IGS you get FREE entry! Of course, you must show your student pass lahz.. DES students get free entry too! And SAM is a wonderful location to shoot! We weren't allowed to shoot in the galleries of coz but the corridors do fine.. =)
I LOVE this Kid's Play area with these colourful blocks! Prefect for Kotarou!
These plushies are MADE by Chibi's friend! LIKE OMG! i thought they were bought! It's THAT GOOD lahz! btw, the guy in red is Jirou..
I can't find an official anime pic without his hat.. This is a fan art.. haha.. He's shuai de lohz..
I love the red walls and the spiral staircase..
Can you believe that Chibi actually asked some random stranger for this shot? She spotted this father looking at us.. so she asked if he has any daughters willing to do this shot! It turned out that he has 3 daughters! They were unwilling at first but their father was so enthu that one agreed haha!
Tried to take a cute shot by using the technique I used on dogs.. Guess it works better on dogs.. =)
This chapel-like auditorium is damn nice lahz! Chibi made an animated gif outta the photos i took!
Another cute gif! =)
ARK! the gif doesn't work here! Please go to
sgcafe to look at the gif..
At around 6pm, the sky darkened and we packed up and rushed over to Sakae Sushi at Citylink for dinner.. Chibi treated me to dinner! THANKS A LOT!
Ya they entered Sakae IN COSTUME!
Itadakimasu!
I have been shooting cosplay for EVERY weekend of January.. haiz~ Next week, i have TWO quizzes (WTF.. AAP is like Nervous System which is 90+ slides long) and I still have Chibi's POKEMON shoot this Sat.. Well, I'm not complaining.. Like lol.. POKEMON..
I shall reduce the number of shoots for next month and set rules for processing of my photos.. I shall edit first and post, (with exceptions to ahzu) then I shall sent you and you can do whatever you want with it but please credit ahbu whereever you use it..
Btw, isn't it an irony that Jirou doesn't have any 肌肉?! LOL
