30 Things to stop saying

The top ten most irritating phrases (according to oxford):

1 – At the end of the day
2 – Fairly unique
3 – I personally
4 – At this moment in time
5 – With all due respect
6 – Absolutely
7 – It’s a nightmare
8 – Shouldn’t of
9 – 24/7
10 – It’s not rocket science

Another 20 here. Haha.. its quite funny cos my lecturers say these all the time.. “at the end of the day.. blah blah blah blah…”

Other Things, Photos

Self Portrait

Well, its not by self but its close. This is my “offering YX a piece of crab” face. Actually the crab was totaly raw with chilli. THEN.. I tried and decided it was too gross. I think I insulted the cold dish quite badly.. Cos its like saying you want your sashimi cooked. Hahaha.. stil.. ee.. raw crab is still out of the question for me now.

Reflecting on the coming day

Well, since YX is almost finishing her cheat sheet, I’ll take some time to look at my coming day.

5:24am -  Now

6:00am – Run. I think can la.. but might be short on time

8:30-10:00am – lecture.. afterwhich I might go ask lecturer some questions and then after that

11:00am – I’ll head down to bugis/beach road fotohub to pic up the wedding photos and my E6 processed roll :) Testing fotohub processing and scanning service. Its like double the usual charge! man.. better be good

12:00pm – Lunch with my mom if I haven’t dropped dead. probably meet at Fin’s by Blue lobster at Marina Square to have 1 for 1 lunch, some citibank thing

1:00pm – Knockout until next day

6:00pm – Kidding, I’ll probably wake up and have dinner and then work on my presentation on Wednesday. I’m the sole presenter. I think I’m pretty good but thats only cos I need to pump in an hour or two of talking to myself in my room and thats after I prepare the slides which I just finished.. maybe an hour or two also?

I think its going to be a decent day.

The Nikon DSLR

“What is this feeling.. so sudden.. and new..”
Wicked OST

Haha.. although the D80 is big, stupid and eats batteries, I’m beginning to enjoy being able to take almost any photo I want with the simple addition of a flash. Taking good photos (exposure and focus-wise) becomes super easy and now I’m going on to taking great photos with the added dimension of composition and creativity.

When I go to the USA to pick up my tank of a camera, I think i’m going to enjoy taking photos all over again. I’m thinking it’ll be so frustrating to get results from a manual slr I’ll become quite power when I don’t need to think about the details. I’ll have to pick up a really cheap flash to mess around with I suppose. still not sure how to do the math for the added flash element to get correct exposure in a photograph. Shall find out in my spare time. Meanwhile.. I shall try my best to ignore uncle Buck when he asks me to buy over this camera. haha.. Shall counter attack and ask him buy better lens instead of upgrading the body.
