Wow, long time never write blog already. Partly due to school part.
Finally this is the last week already. Next week, we will be having our study break.

The time now is 3:27 in the morning. Don't know why I still can't sleep. Jus uploading some photos to Deviantart. Since I  not tired, I figure I drop by here a type a few this before the whole website statred to mould away. Hehe, jus kidding (Not funny).

Today my lesson on INT finish early, this is because my friends and I managed to present our mini project before others do. Everything went smoothly except a few difficult qns which I couldn't explain

Oh yah, I brought a new Handphone, the model is Sony Ericssion T630. You can see the picture of the handphone on top. Didn't buy K700i cause I realise that I didnt need those function. Furthermore, I can save money. :)

Think I better go sleep now. My dearie is waiting for me in the dreamland. Tata and I know you want me to write another blog as soon as possible. I try k. :)

Good night sweet dreams sleep tight. :)

Time now is 3:35am

Friday at around mid afternoon

Seems like Im getting lazier. Must be the recent Garfield Movie. Hahaha, just kidding.

Been busy this few weeks with alot of things. I don't even have time to post my photos, or maybe I don't have the time to take good ones. Anyway, the week after is my panel review. This few weeks my teammate and I have been working very hard for the report. Took alot of pictures of our hardware and paste it inside the report.

This days, Im playing a game called CruiseLine Tycoon. Its something like THE SIMS. It may be boring seeing other people playing, but the game is interesting when you play it yourself. The objective of the game is to built up the cruiseship from scratch. Small rooms, medium rooms, Big rooms, food, entertainment, bar, shopping and alot alot more. There is a total of 5 ships. Once you think you earn enough, you can use the money to buy a new ship.

Now Im waiting for my dear to finish her class. She is having her quiz test today. There is a total of 54 questions. However, my dear got the tips from Jane. Therefore, my dearie have been reading the notes. Hope she did well.



The DSLR 20D haven't officialy out yet in Singapore. There is rumours that it will cost around S$2200, and also costing the same price when 10D came out. If it is the former, I think I will decide on getting the 20D. As some of you may know, the features of D70 is more than 300D. However, I still like Canon. Maybe some of you may ask "Why not get the cheapest DSLR to try out?". If the price of 20D is only a few hundred dollars more, why don't I take a longer time to save money to get a better one? Its not like Im getting 1D/1Ds/1D markII. However, Im not ruling out the possibly of getting them. Who knows, maybe when the time I saved enough money, there will again have a new model coming out. Therefore, I seeing how it goes.

Back to 20D, it had new features like DIGIC II and E-TTL II. Faster startup (0.2s) and better fps. It can even use AA battery using the optional grip, I felt that it is useful. I prefer to buy the mid-range DSLR rather than upgrading to a better one. I am thinking of getting the 1D/1Ds/1D markII for my second DSLR, but I think it will be a long time.

When I brought my first DSLR, I will also buy alot of different stuff too. Things like:
1) Flash - EX580
2) Fast CF card - SanDisk Ultra II
3) Dry-Cabinet
4) Tripod - Manfrotto/Slik
5) Zoom lens - 28-300mm 3.5-5.6L IS USM
6) Wide angle lens
7) And alot more stuff



My dearie just got back from her class...cont next time. Nice talking about my camera...future camera. Tata and have a great weekend to you all. Byee

Long long time since I log in

A very big SORRY to all who visit my site recently and found out that I didn't update it.
Was very lazy, now decided to continue with the blog to let those who are concern of me know what I been doing the few weeks.

First of all, have you all notice there is a change of pictures on top? I changed it to one, which my dearie and I have taken at the sentosa beach. I photoshop it, learned abit of skill from the new Canon websites.

Cont with the blog....
Busy for the past few weeks taking pictures of fireworks. Till now, I have gone to five different kinds of fireworks event. 1st - SFF (USA team), 2nd - NDP Preview Day, 3rd - SFF (Hongkong team), 4th - NDP Actual Day, 5th - SFF (Singapore team). Fun travelling around for the fireworks, sometimes we go to the venue 3hours before the fireworks to get better sight of the fireworks. Overall the fireworks are nice, seen alot of nice patterns around.

Last weekend we went to sentosa costa sand resort to stay over. We decided to go there as there is a promotion of S$78 for 3 days 2 night. Had a great time over there, but alot of things happen there. Let me describe what happen in this three days.

DAY 1 -
Ann Tat's dad came to my house first. We carry both Beng's and mine bike up the lorry. Then we went to Beng's house to fetch him. After that we make way to sentosa. Ann Tat's dad took us to the entrence of sentosa. Didn't want him to waste money driving us in, we decided to cycle in from there. As dearie don't know how to ride one, she took the bus in.

At the chalet, we have a rest and played a few rounds of Playstation. At around 4pm, we left the chalet to go to the fireworks by Singapore team. After that, we went to Funan for dinner at KFC. Then we went to CK at chinatown as Vincent wanted to buy a toothbrush. We make way back to the chalet after that and reach the chalet at about 11pm. We watched channel 5 awhile, then played a few rounds of Playstation before ending the day, tiring day.

DAY 2 -
Ann Tat and Vincent woke up early in the morning as Vincent wanted to take some pictures of the beach. I was tired, thats why I didnt't join them. Moments later, I received a call from Ann Tat. He said that he had a collusion with Vincent and need me to attend to him immediaty. Therefore, I ride my bike down the long slope and found Ann Tat sitting at the bench. Vincent is away taking photos. Ann Tat told me that he and Vincent hit together while travelling at high speed down slope. Ann Tat couldn't stop in time.

He fell on the floor. He had minor injuries on his body but had a lump on his head. He said that he wanted to go to the hospital for a cheackup, at first he say that he wanted to call an ambulance. Vincent say that it is expensive and say that he will bring him to SGH, which is the nearest hospital from Sentosa. First we bring the bike back to the chalet. Vincent then bring Ann Tat out the island to SGH. Dearie and I stay at the chalet. After awhile, dearie and I went to the beach to play and take some shots. When we get back to the chalet, Ann Tat inform us that he is alright. They decided to go home first to rest and take something.

Dearie and I left Sentosa at about 12noon. We took 93 then change to 61 at Queensway. Maybe because we are tired or the bus ride is too long, we fall asleep on the bus. We reached school on time at 2pm. However, we haven't eat out lunch yet. We make way to Canteen 2 to have our lunch. Moments later, Ann Tat appeared and later on, Vincent appeared. Than we studyed INT till 5pm.

After that, we went to Bukit Timah Shopping Centre to buy the BBQ food from NTUC. Than we took 61 change 100. We intended to walk in the island, as we always did before, to save the S$3 (Island Admission - $2, bus ride - $1). A lady in-charge of the gate told us to take the bus as the footpath is close. Too bad for us, than we took the bus from the gate into Sentosa. Lucky for us, Ann Tat saw a friend of his there working and we avoid paying for the S$3 per person ticket. Come to think of it, we should thanks the lady at the gate.

We met up with my auntie, Daniel and my sister at the the Underwater bus stop. We carry the heavy stuff to the beach. After we put down the stuff on a table. All of us except Vincent went up the chalet to take the remaining things which we brought along to the chalet for the BBQ. We started the BBQ at arpund 7.30pm and ending it at 10pm+. Back at the chalet, we played Winning Eleven 7, which Kwe How had brought along to the chalet.

We ended the day watching Shi Zhi Lu Kou of Channel U.

DAY 3 -
Vincent is the one who woke up first. One by one woke up and continue playing the Playstation. We stopped the game at 10.30am as we needed to check out the room. After that, we went to the beach below and continue to have fun. We leave the place at 1pm and have our lunch at the hawker centre opposite of Harbourfront centre. After that we go our seperate way. Vincent and Kwe How took 93 to change bus to return to school, Dearie and I went to take 143 to go back to Toa Payoh. Ann Tat took the NEL home.

Now thats is the end of our chalet.

Wow, didn't mean to write such a long "compo", but there is really alot of things to write about. I took out a few part, or else I have to write till the morning.

Anyway, next tuesday is our INT common test. I hope that all of us be prepared for it.

Cheers and I really need to go to sleep already. Good Night, Sweet Dreams and Sleep Tight for all. :)
