This guy has to be the funkiest blind man.. His guitar playing skillz are so cool. Don’t you notice the photos are so much brighter than physically possible? Heh.. I think its due to the pumped up contrast and saturation tip I read online for my c5050. Its works pretty well. I caught this at ISO125. Thats crazy considering how yellow and dark it was.

After I walked away. I was thinking this is such a plain angle. Since he’s blind, I could have really taken him at any distance or angle I pleased and still not feel awkward. Oh well..

I decided to start a “today’s photo” kinda thing. Of course, it won’t be a daily thing. Its just to practise my photography all over again. I don’t expect everything to be great quality due to equipment (which actually is pretty decent already) but I think I’d like to work on composition and play with colour in photoshop. Right now my trusty c5050 is in great shape. With a 128MB CF card in combination with a 256M XD card (yes my camera can use BOTH at the same time! and optionally, a Smart media card if you lived in the stone age and owned one), its more than enough because I don’t take tons of photos and I empty them out at the earliest chance I get. I hate to let photos pile up and get disorganized. I also hate it when photos don’t have “date taken” data. It makes it so hard to sort.

I took some shots from the St Andrews Community Hostpital Autism Center’s pantry where it over looks the above mentioned thing. Its about 12 photos merged together. Has a slight fisheyed effect.

Before that I collected my HDD which I carelessly left at Sandra’s place last night. She waited about half an hour for me at Changi General Hospital..(thanks!) after seeing her friend. Aiyah, actually planned to go bedok get from her then go lunch with david but then her half day spoiled it. Anyways, I returned the favour and sent her home.

I just realised you can get to bedok through Hougang ave 3 all the way down through Eunos. Ha.. and I almost went back to TPE then to PIE. All avoided with the help of THE book as I call it.

I had a good run at botanical gardens this morning. My bro, dency, me, pastor, aunty diana and char went for a early jog. We all (except my bro) took 1 round around the garden, then me and pastor went for another. There’s this red brick road which is like ultra xiong la! my calfs hurt cos the shoes keep making my feet roll outwards. Nearing the end, pastor was too fast for me and he disappeared into the distance. After everything we went to the visitors center to eat breakfast. I had a western set.

Oh well.. after that went for 2 hours of choir. Sian la, sometimes I don’t know what we practise for anyway. Although we’re clearly not into it for sounding good anymore (something which I only dare to say recently), its still so quality driven to the point where I wonder where’s the point where its too low quality to be edifying? I believe we have long long long passed that point by God’s grace and we should spend our time doing other things. What other things you ask? Quantity, Less practise, More people driven less music driven? To hell with the music if nobody is edified, nobody is encouraged and nobody is blessed. The same if the quality takes over the reason of singing to edify the belivers. The music was made by God, for God and is one way he can bless his people. Whats the point if not these two? No point la! Anger does not produce the righteousness of God and in my anger and irritaion I must not sin. Sigh. More being less doing. I’m still not being all that is required of me. More being less doing.

Have i mentioned that I am starting to hate the sound of my voice? Its this contant annoyance that talks about me all the time. Shut up YH, just shut up.

No prizes for guessing! Fangurls can ask me for a hi res picture. haha..

There’s a beautiful 360 degree panorama of the merlion! It takes a while to load so be patient..
