Kim wanted to take photos of fruits/vege for her sister as a housewarming pressie, so we decided to carry out the shoot together. =) We had the shoot at about..1-3.30am-ish? We made a lightbox for it, too! Kim spent about 50 bucks for the fruits, and it was like a fruit party after the shoot. Everyone in apartment B225 cyberia were stuffing themselves with bananas, oranges, even my gliders got some! ;) We moved on to some other experiments (some failed spectacularly) like smoke, lighter, long exposure/cigarettes etc. Kim and i found the capsicums particularly fascinating!

Marilyn, sife, thanks for imparting the wisdom of using a lightbox when it comes to shoots like these. You're a genius. And Spencer's (her D80) minion, the tamron f2.8 17mm-50mm is pure awesomeness!! T-T

Anyway, enjoy the shots. =)

Went to Aquaria with sayang today. =) It was sharks' week or summat, and we got a 30% discount. it was pretty good, but too pricey if not for the discount. Anyway i decided to take judd out, since it's been awhile since i've shot places i've visited. But the lights were really dim and so i had to compromise picture quality.. but anyway, enjoy them =) Here's to all you people, who still visit this old blog even though the updates are scarce during my busy weeks. (okay, months.) And oh, this is specially for you, Jon, since you asked me to take pictures because you couldn't go there yourself even though i doubt you read this blog...ever. heh. Pics will prolly take awhile to load, so go do your thing, and come back in say...5-10 mintues?

Kim came over and we both formatted/installed windows 7 64bit on our PCs, after all the tears and screams during assignments when our PCs acted up because of viruses. Friggin slutty pendrives leaving its STDs about. ANYWAY, i just have to say this- 64BIT. IS. SO. FRIGGIN. AWESOME!!!!

Before that, Levi (my core i7)'s processors were underused by vista 32bit, with only four cores running. But now.....!!

so kim, daniel, wee and i grouped up for a Creative Campaign project for Media Innovation. Kim and I were in charge of the 3D promotional booth. And oh, our brand was Joven, with the product Joven 930 Instant Shower. =D Daniel did the animatics, and our concept was this japanese thingy, with the character focus of sumo wrestlers. Mainly to break away from the cliches of sexy girls in the tub when it comes to shower heater ads,y'know. Anyway I'm not going into the TVC, maybe someday i'll upload it but for now, this was our 3d promotional booth! =)

Disclaimer: this was really a last minute work, we didn't even have time to map the bamboo plants thingy. That's why the bamboo looks really weird. ><

3 random photos for sharing. =) enjoy ;)

So ben & i got a sugar glider. I've been wanting one for ages and finally, the time has come!! =D

Everyone, meet Hermione. She's only 2 months old and she's tiny!

so, the sem has started, as crazy as ever. I thought having to juggle one production last sem was madness, but this sem we've TWO productions. In fact, the workload's so heavy that all my assignments for now are group assignments. For ALL subjects. It's enough to drive anyone up the wall. if it were not for the fact that i like what i do........

Anyway, pictures!

first off..skittles' puppies! =) Sis & i named them Shyshy, smallsmall, silhouette, and sanjaphotali (cz he's like an indian). 3males, 1 female. The black one's a female. (As you can see we are, obviously, running out of names.)

just got home from church camp yesterday. =) we had family camp there 2 years ago, in damai laut. I know i blogged about it. come to think of it..my blog's 4 years old! =o I'm getting old.

anyway, the heat's kicking in and i'm feeling too lazy to describe everything.. in short, it was great. Fun, but tiring. The heat was pretty bad too. Speaker's got a sense of humor. and now, let the pictures roll.

there are only about a million questions that i want to ask you. But the question that's been nudging me for a good few days was that.. did i make you proud?

most of the time it kills me when you're not there. when I've done well. When it's my birthday. When I get into accidents. When it's YOUR birthday. When it's days like today. I can't share it with you. No hugs or kisses from you. Not your touch, your smile, or your voice. Nothing. I've stopped trying to imagine what you would say to me, because it feels too much like i'm just trying to fool myself. 

gone were the days when jie and i would wake up in the middle of the night on this occasion to decorate the house, and pluck flowers and make you breakfast in bed. I remember during one of those years, I wanted to surprise you but jie was growing up and thought i was childish,and she didn't want to get up. I got so furious, we fought so loudly that we woke you up. I remember that year, we gave you a new phonebook because your old one was falling apart. I've never thought that i would dread this celebration, and i dread it more and more every year.

If things were different, we'd be spending our time doing something fun today. And not me home alone, trying to piece not just memories of you, but myself together. I'd have made a new memory today. Instead,all that's left are the haunts of your heavy breathing, how you thirsted and kept asking for a drink, yet we couldn't give it to you because it would only kill you faster. how you just slipped in and out of conciousness. How you grabbed me so tightly the night before and kept calling my name. Did you hear me then? I kept telling you that I'm here,but you kept calling my name. How you finally nod off in your last breath, still unconcious. I was there, on your bed. I saw it happen. I remember screaming and running out to get the family. I remember loathing the people who touched you and had to put make up on you.

I should be grateful that i did get to spend one last mothers' day with you. At that time, part of me didn't dare grasp that it was one last mothers' day. I should be grateful that you were concious one last time to eat that slice of fruit cake with us, or just the fruits that were on top of the cake. But i just get so..so furious that..

People tell me that you're smiling down from heaven, but sometimes, it's too hard to picture. Is it that perfect? What would you look like? Would you sound the same? Would your arms feel the same?

I've missed you. And i miss you so, so much.

I'm sorry that i didn't visit you. I just can't yet.
