Singapore Cancer Society Shoot Continuation

Great Mash Up - Linkin Park with Paramore

Singapore Cancer Society Shoot

After a 200 photo shoot today, i realised i have a major problem. My framing sucks. Either i miss out on some detail or i frame in extra details. Geesh.. Gotta make sure i frame properly next time. It was quite a challenge today for me, as its my first time shooting an indoor event with a strobe, SB-800. It wasn't easy to handle, cos its like an additional set of skills that is required to use that extra flash. But,im happy simply because at least i took the first step and explored the world of indoor flash photography. Thanks to Kenne and Liaoz for their equipment! This is the photo of the day for me because this old uncle, i assumed is a cancer patient, posed for me! It was so rare for them to pose, most of them were frowning. But its ok, i think old people are lovely. Here you go

SiXx

Great 30 mins gig by SiXx, adds another dimension to the notion of RnB. I've never really liked RnB. But after listening to them tonight, i think i should reconsider about it. Great Stuff, seriously.

Back In Business

Surprise Amidst Disappointment

Thanks to Talia! I got back my BI2 test mark. Hmmph... i think i was super lucky to escape this time cos i really felt i screwed it up. Thanks to all who had to bear with my whining and complaining ever since the test ended like a few weeks back.

The Foreign Worker Dorm Dilemma : Reciprocate

Just what is so wrong with a foreign workers' dormitory being situated in Serangoon Gardens?

Hello people.. after all, all the beautiful houses that you are living in now are all built with the very hands of the foreign workers. They have paved our roads, built our houses, spurred our economy and now we are denying them of a place to shelter their heads from? Isn't it ridiculous? This is analogous to like abandoning your parents once you have grown wings as the chinese idiom describes.

Maybe its just the problem with the richer people staying in the area. Hello... we are already putting them in a FENCED UP abandoned school. This is, in my opinion, worse than a caged animal. Give them a break people. They haven't really created much trouble for us right.

Yes, if you feel really unsafe with foreign workers lurking in your neighbourhood, by all means, yes, step up police petrol. But, imagine, put yourself into the shoes of the workers. Are we singaporeans looking as though they are freaks?

As quoted,

"I am fed up!" a woman screamed from her car.

"I am thinking of moving out," said a resident.

Ya, get out, please. Your just another spoilt Singaporean. Maybe ur vacated house can be used to accomodate the foreign workers. Sometimes, i wonder, if we'd just gone with the whole dorm thing without bringing it up with the residents, would such issues ever be raised? The residents might not even realise that the dormitory existed.

Yes yes... you might be a resident in Serangoon Gardens, i dun care. R-e-c-i-p-r-o-c-a-t-e. If you feel offended reading this post, i'm sorry, I cant help it. Im just giving my 2 cents worth on this issue.

There's Still Some Soul Out There

Something happened yesterday which i think if definitely worthy of being posted right here:

No, its not my bruised leg from Muay Thai, it was something else. I was limping home in the drizzly rain, listening to the Muttons on 987fm. Well, just when i thought i was just a pathetic lame soul trying to make his way home, someone approached me and said ," Are you okay? Do you need help? What happened? "

The few words, thought may seem trivial to u, it meant a lot to me. That was a guy and i bet he's not local. Even though he did not offer to shelter me with his umbrella, those few words of concern definitely warmed the inside despite the chilly rain.

Where are all the good souls in the world? They will surface when there's u least expect them to.
