My sis has johnny depp in her room.
Eh, Chae, your room is really big and comfy and breezy and sunny. Um, when are you going on exchange?
A 37-degree day

Incessant headthrob.
Bah, I feel kinda very sorta semi- quite bummed. The last two nights of shooting weren’t great. And I screwed up tonight’s Moomba fireworks display. Plus the guy at the photo processing place didn’t know what a contact sheet is so I have to look for another place to get my film developed. But it’s ok, I had some birthday cake (not mine) just now so I feel a tad better (:
A coupla yesterday’s shots.
Haha, the substitute Dugald!
Rockwiz and Blue King Brown were incredibly fun+funky to shoot! But I still kinda reallyreally suck at concert photography and so didn’t catch any energetic shots. Boo. But the band was funky as!
Anyway, random incredibly funny moment:
the sis: “where are you going?”
me: “shoot”
the sis: “oh. …you’re in an ad?!”
me: “……… no, i’m gonna shoot. I’m the one behind the lens”
Hahaha (:
Well, it’s a you-had-to-be-there kinda joke. But it’s funny ’cause I thought she knew I was into photography, not modelling.
Speaking of shooting, well, I can’t find my blue dinosaur. Where on earth can a one-inch blue figurine go?!
Ready? OK!

Ok, ready to blog again.
Whoops, many slips and mistakes in the past two months or so.
People ask why I sometimes disappear for unusually long periods of time. Or tell them stuff only when they’re well and truly over and solved.
Uh…. ’cause that’s how I like it. That’s how I deal. Ha.
Aaaanyway, funny story. Being the concertandmusicnerd I am, I woke up at 7am five days before the official release (hence, pre-sale) date for the Maroon 5 concert (just to catch Brandi Carlile in action again of course)… and scored 5th row tickets in front of the stage.
….. and let them go. I stared at the screen for a bit, and let them go. Sure, there were tears involved, but Mum’s right – your heart can only be devoted to one thing at a time.
No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money
Matthew 6:24
And in that verse, ‘money’ can be replaced by anything. Boo. I know my idol is music. I stopped being music-obsessed for a certain period, but I know I’ve devoted a good amount of time to finding good music and checking out unsigned artistes in the past month or so. As usual, Mum had to sit me down and tell me it’s really up to me to choose who and what I give my heart to. In short, what you spend your time doing, little by little you give your heart over to.
So, I’m consciously trying to pull back on my gig-going and music- and vinyl-hunting. It’s hard. And it sounds silly. But it’s not. Silly, I mean. But thank goodness I didn’t chuck out my vinyls like Mum suggested. Haha, otherwise Fred(die Mercury) would be very sad, lonely and hungry.
Oh, Fred has a new sister! (GRIN). And she has friends! S, M, and A.
Pause.
Haha, I laugh to myself. And I realise I am quite strange.
Sigh, anyway, glad to be back in Singapore, even if the humidity makes me sticky all day which makes me feel like I have to wash my hands all the time.
Hear that? Feel that?

That, carinalauernsze, is more than three months of freedom ahead of you 
YES! (oh but if only I finished my last exam on a better note; BCarlile’s ‘Until I Die’ and ‘Downpour’ was just playing overandoverandoverandoverandover in my head dammit icouldntconcentraaateiwantedto “diediedie” in her words. Hahaha. Ok, it’s ok, I’ll just keep telling myself I’m not obsessed with her/her music.)
New favourite photographer partly because he photographed BCarlile&WentworthMiller&IronandWine(HAHA): Jeremy Cowart
His ‘Hope for the Dark’ project is exactly what I want(ed) to do.
Ok shoo! Stop talking to yourself and go do your top secret post-exam projects!
someday, someday
October 23, 2007
I don’t know if it’s extremeandutter nervousness about Friday & ______, eating too much, or just brain-saturatedness-from-nerding-all-day… but I felt my upchuck reflexes in play all day today. Maybe it’s a combination of all three. BOOOO. So fidgety can’t seem to concentrate. Anyway, with the usual distraction of my mac(dreamy. haha, ok lame joke) in front of me, I websurfed some of my day away and decided that yeah…
someday someday, i’ll own one of these:
sexiness defined
GRIN. haha, not an M8 specifically, but definitely something from the Leica rangefinder line. I think dad used to have a Leica SLR… but he can’t remember where he put it. SIGH. “Someday, someday, look towards the sky babe. Someday, someday, there’s no need to cry babe, I know that you’re always what I want babe“ Haha, ok so singing an ill-fitting song to a camera is retarded. So what. “Someday somedaaaay…”
Anyhoo, the site (http://www.sarisarishots.com) that gave me the D-Lux-3 picture had a little section dedicated to the cutie below:
Yeah, it was slightly surreal reading all the comments about this little girl who shared the same name (and faith?) with me.
