yes yes.. i've turned 17 once again. aaaaaahahhaha... ya ya.. some people say delusional. :P as long as i dun look my age, i'm alright. and as long as i've gained more wisdom and yet remain child-like (NOT childish), i'm fine.
it was so fun yest. i've got a new toy. woo hoo! thanks bee. considering that i can't afford, or rather choose not to spen $$ on a d90 or d5000 as yet... might as well get a camera dat takes artistic fotos instead. as opposed the the kinds that photograhers of nikon or canon wld ever nod to. ahahahah... so happy so happy. it was fun fun fun. felt like a child all over again.. one who juz got her very 1st camera. and yes.. it was like my very 1st camera. the kind where you have to manually load the film and turn it round and round to lock it in place. old-school! hehe. the only reason for the batt is the flash function. other than that, everything goes manual.
how photography have changed over the years. fr my 1st cam, to the auto film wif zoom. to the digital era. those days, we had to look thru the viewfinder to compose our pics carefully before hitting the shutter button so that we dont waste film. the anticipation of waiting for the pics... wat a feeling. if it turned out good, kudos to you. u know that u haf taken the time and effort to capture a good pic. then came the digital era. live view of the pic. people dun use the viewfinder anymore. clicking away and deleting pics as we go along... wat happened to the care that we used to prioritise when we used the film camera? good and bad.
now comes the time when you dun even haf to look at the viewfinder nor the screen! welcome to the world of lomography. haha. wat fun... makes photography all so fun once again.
10 golden rules:
Take your camera everywhere you go.
Use it any time – day and night.
Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it.
Try the shot from the hip.
Approach the objects of your Lomographic desire as close as possible.
Don’t think. (William Firebrace)
Be fast.
You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film.
Afterwards either.
Don’t worry about any rules.
let's take some pics - lomo style. or sld i say.. YOUR style. haha. thanks for the wonderful gift. oxoxox tho i got to choose it for myself and top up wif my voucher.. thanks all the same. hehe.

ok so i dun talk abt my family much. juz a little snap shot.
went oto the airport to c my cousin off. hafnt seen her for a long time. hafnt seen many extended family members for a long time anyway. she was going off to egypt to do her degree there. no prizes for guessing... she's a madrasah girl. so i went there thinking i'd be easy to find my aunt. she has a really big family anyway. 8 kids! and to my greatest surprise (or horror as i can put it), the whole place was filled wif all the tudung family... males wif the songkok! for a wahile it felt as if these peopel were going for umrah or hajj. yes, it's THAT crowded. i couldnt find my aunt! who can find anyone in that mess of people anyway. and i dun haf her number! panic.. called a few other family memebrs. finally got her number and she was only abt 2 metres away! sheesh... saw my other cousins. cant even figure out who's who. cant remember their names too. ok, that's bad. let's not talk abt trying to recognise them. all i can say is that they've grown so big over the years. then it hit me.. i cant even recognise my own cousins. this is not a healthy sign. when oh when will i make the effort to get to know my own family memebr better. perhaps i shoud start fr my own home. i dun even know what the guy in the nxt room is doing. :P anyway.. i'm happy for my cousin for making it so far.. it aint easy wif such a big family. responsibilities now falls on the younger ones... stay strong. Inyaallah we'll see each other before 4 yrs is up. anyone wanna sponsor me for an egypt trip? ;P
locally.. went to ikea wif my mum. met this nenek who's 71 yrs old going there by herself. din know the way so wanted to follow us. apparently her chn din haf the time to bring her there so she went there all by herself to get photo frames. they were quite heavy my mum said. and my mum was commenting that next time when she's old, i'd better take her to ikea and that she din wanna gothere by herself. :P Insyaallah.. i shall be a good daughter. heh.

yes yes.. this is juz abt sch... not work. not getting confused i hope.
this sem started out realy slowlly for me. sigh. even tho there was an assignment due juz 1 week after the 1st seminar... i was and still am not motivated. haiz. this is not good. been leaving everthing to the last min. never do required readings. only do the minimum for TMAs. so let's not talk abt grades. sigh...
besides the tech module ahich was ssssoooooooooo BORINGggggggggg... so im not a techy savvy person. watever. the gender issue module was an overdose of feminist viewpoints. and to top it off the lecturer is a feminist herself. anyone wanna join AWARE? it was intimidating at first. but she got nicer over the weeks. the feminist comments that she made juz make me smile. i cant help it ok. dun blame fiz for hating this module. i would probably feel the same way if i were a guy in there. feel bad for the guys too. ego bursting sessions. haha. and the really bad one was that poor guy.. she said that she din get his TMA and thus was not sure if he was still in the class. he went to the comp lab to check and was sure he handed in his assignment. and after all that heart-pumping drama for him.. she juz got him mixed up wif another person. was wpndering abt that at the back of my mind when she started it all. wa lao eh. poor chap. wanna laugh oso feel bad.
12 hrs grace. good and bad. good coz we wont be penalised of coz. bad coz i'd juz procratinate more. since im not motivated to do them anyway. ever since this implementation.. i've been late all the time! not after the grace perios. but later than 12 midnight for sure. haiz... bad bad bad.. i know! i know! ergh... how oh how can i motivate myself??? another due this coming wed. ERGHHHHHHHHHHH...

so it's been a while. blame it on lack of time. or juz plain laziness. it doesnt help when u dun work behind a comp all day. good and bad considering that i dun exactly love the comp and only turn it on when i really really need to. heh. Oh well... let's move on... going to ramble on some stuff that happened days, weeks and months back. watever that comes to mind. here goes...
work + sch. can be a tricky qn to ans considering that i do work in a sch. so when someone ask me... where are u going? sch? work? both? dun really know how to ans. and when someone ask: what are u working as? clear ans: a teacher but NOT in an MOE sch. WHY??? coz i juz got sick of the system. simple as that. so am i happy in here? well happier for sure. but as i've said, i cant afford to stay here for long even tho i might like the work and working hours. let's be practical people... some can live their lives earning juz that much. but me? call me materialistic... watever... i need some more to save and travel of coz. hee.
so work... wat can i remember. for one, some people can be real irritating and i'm sorry to say this coz it might sound mean.. but i'm glas someone else heard it and told her. better to juz stay away as much as possible. coz if u get me on the wrong day at the wrong time... u'd never guess what i can do. and i'm very sure i can make it real bad. i'm not one who's bloody hard up for this job anyway. ok ok... fasting fasting... better stop it :X
on another note... national day celeb... din think i'd be wearing red and white again this year. tot i was going to get out of it. tho i might know spore stuff and songs (thanks to propaganda and SS lessons)... i'm not exactly a hard core patriotic sporean. heh. but i still call it home for sure... like every year... kids were in red and white. sth unpleasant happened that morn... and it wasnt only to me... but haiz... better juz stop here before i start bitching. :X other than that... all was well... wif everyone waving the spore flag way up high. oh yes... there was this particular house with 3 flags! talking abt being patriotic man.
book week was fun. besides the part when I haf to help out juz because some people are juz so irresponsible. i mean.. hey its her job so y blame it on us? y do you or the rest of us haf to do it. ask her to do it lah. and she gets away wif it?!??! *shakes head. sheesh... ok besides that.. it was fun fun fun. the kids were sssoooooooo adorable in their costumes. we were supposed to dress up as a storyubook character. esp Bumblebee! yes! bumblebee was in sch. haha. he was sooooooo cuteee. the rest were cute too. pirates, ballarinas, mary poppins and others. i muz say.. the teachers were also cool! we all dress up. something minah wld like. as she wld put it: feeling feeling. haha. and guess what i was... a cat wearing boots ;) sorry.. pics not uploaded in comp yet.
end of term checklist is the most tedious to check off. had to scrub chairs, tables, cubbies.. areas of responsibilities. sheesh... tiring! stayed back late that day juz to finish things off juz so i dun haf to come back during the hols. heh. juz glad i dun haf to do the discovery table anymore. and hoping the things are still intact. things that goes onto the table sometimes juz dun come back the way it was. scary things these kids can do. some call it exploring and creativity. i'd juz call it vandalism.
