Went to the garden festiva after school on friday to take photos of the flowers. Alot of people there really hard to concentrate on a shot. It rain when i got there and i was like "OMG! raindrops falling on my camera!"
Luckily the rain stopped close to the night. Carrying my school bag with me i got tired. Finish taking photos about 7 plus and then walk around vivo to 8 when i was about to go home i found out that ma and dad waiting for me to go dinner. i was like 0o! rush home after i got something from bugis and then went home. Dad drove around geylang, unable to find a place to have dinner, we head back to bedok 85 for dinner.
Below pictures of garden festiva.

Ban Ban hits 1 year old on 22 jan! Brought him a birthday present the day before at bugis and have a hard time putting it on for him on the day itself!
After he's in his clothes! its snapping time!
Took a lot of photos for him. Below's pictures of him. more on facebook!
now with the yahoo auction gone, its hard to find nice clothes for him. since he's size L! last time i was looking at the hello kitty clothes to buy for him haha :X
any way change the settings in the comments function so now can comment without signing id haha!
Hmm not sure if outside sells this clothes themes ( spiderman, batman or superman) he be super cute with them on lol!
Yes i went to botanic gardens again which i shouldnt be at. i should be at home rushing through my projects. one weakness about me is that i have no sense of urgency till the very last min. Must change!
Botanic gardens's orchid garden (part of it) was close for 21 and 22 jan to prepare for the butterflies to move in. then there's this couple feeding the ducks so i can take them close up haha!
anyway went to bugis after botanic and bought a wallet for chinese new year and a present for ban ban. He's turning 1 on 22 jan thats today! I thought his size is M and ask the sales person about the size measurement for a chest size of 40- 42cm. To my surpise its a L size! I like 0o so big! went to call er jie and ask about ah pui's size. his was a XL 0o and bao bao was M. So i bought a L size and went home to put on him straight. it fits! -.- i was like omg! i thought it was an M size all along.
Then went out agian to grab a copy of straits time for obama! no la i was having a feeling that i need more info on him to do my wil project for the external factors since sony has its markets in us as well.
afking now: to help my mum with her wu xiang haha

Ok time for the last section of the 17 jan 2009 post!
Title: Esther's 21st birthday celebration!
Anyway after Genie's event at imm, went down from jurong east to novina where i need to meet esther. Fell asleep on the mrt and woke up about at bishan mrt. Arrived late. Was a little nervous at times as i have not seen her like more than a year or two haha! the last time i saw her was when i ran into her at TM lol.
Anyway have a headache in choosing presents so! girls! time for you all to choose presents and i just chip in! HAHAHAHA
It was not long before i met her and then she introduce me to her boyfriend and friends. Then we procceed to zhen fa to have steam boat.
Rating:
Dessert: 5/10 ( very limited, almost all is chocolate. For chocolate lovers the section is also limited)
Atmosphere: crowded ok, seizing in the food quene
Food: sushi: limited
Chicken: ok la, but there's this chicken they give like the whole portion which is very not nice to look at once cooked.
Prawns: live and dead. live for steam boat and dead for bbq. not much a prawn eater so no commend.
String ray: fresh! good for steam boat! nicer in tom yam
Tom yam base: too hot with chilli
Others are almost the same ba i guess. i was mostly targeting the dessert section haha
After that we then cut cake took pictures, eat cake, and then took a bus down to eunos to change to 15 to go east coast.Wanted to go with them at first for the overnight cycling but need to ask for mum's permission first. She didnt allow so i told esther i cant join her and took a bus home.
Jan 18 night updates:
Haha did a first time night photography. i usually did not shot at night as i dun like the blurness that the pictures turn out to be.
Here are some pictures of it. more pictures on my facebook.
In case you all were wondering how i took the pictures in genie's event. Well here's it. Stand straight straight to take.
And the next day pain at the neck and arm areas!
I'mm yours, truly. pineapple tarts!
Next up the post is I'mm yours, truly. Another event that was gonna be held in IMM. I didnt went for it as i am rushing down to esther's birthday party at novina mrt.
The set up looks like some wedding like that and there are bride and groom's clothes for people to try and take pictures haha!
More photos in my facebook!
18 Jan update: well stay at home today to help mum make pineapples tarts haha! Yup more photos on face book.
Note to myself: Get cracking on WIL i be sacking since thursday!
17 Jan has been very eventful, not only do i return to school just to return the books for fear of their overall charges on the fines which is like hell! 50 center per 15 mins per item! Hello! parking also not so ex ok!
After that went to imm yes! again to practice shooting. this time i went to the wrong place. I thought it was garden plaza again but it was at level 1 atrium and there's no second level so i have to stand very straight and use the live view to take the pictures! its good that i have a live view! and then later i move to another spot when Genie was signing autographs. Haha sometimes photography is so much on the maths too. i was like looking for an angle that is open to shoot. meaning an angle that was not block by anyone. that angle i manage to find was a small spot with a security guard blocking the view once a while. I wonder if the DSLR is getting too cheap! i see alot of uncles and guys taking dslr to shoot! and with advance flash and lens! some even brought a chair to stand for higher grounds! well in the first part of the autograph session, i was holding my camera with my hand held straight! The stain on my arm is making me take it down once a while to rest! i decide to change place cos she was not even looking at the spot i was and the security was blocking the view plus the person beside her too.
17 jan blog is gonna stretch to 3 posts:
1. genie event
2. some shots before the big wedding event which i didnt stay to see
3. esther's 21st birthday celebration!
More pictures is on my facebook!
I dun really intend to blog about this but my mum was nagging at me when i thank the person who move his bike. As usual was in my room surfing the net, when my mum storm into my room ask me to take camera to take pictures of our car. I took 2 cameras out and begin taking pictures of a bike that was leaning against our car.
When my mum park there, the motor was not there and the person park it later leaning the motor on our car. so i took the pictures of it with all angles and with flash. Who knows the batt went dead after less than 8 shots. -.-
luckily i took out my compact camera and begin shooting it again. then i told my mum to get me a phone to call the police in case of any missharps and to take my sp 560 back into the house.
Then i went there to ask the person to move his motor. man he look fierce and he come out move the motor. my guts told me that i should thank him for moving the motor and let matters rest.
So i did thank him for that and my mum was like Oo: why you thank him! he didnt say sorry.
my reply?
thats basic manners and you thank him, he be pai sae to do it again.
But as usual its my kid thinking again. even my bro want to blog about it.
to note: this is the second time he does that, last time he park his motor so close till my mum has to seize into the car in order to drive.
My mum brought home a new type of flowers called latern flower home from the market yesterday. Why latern? because it looks like a latern! See the pictures below and you know why!
