Pictures from the past
Was browsing through the old photos and saw some interesting ones to post. The first 2 pictures were taken this Chinese New Year. Looking at he colourful potted plants outside my house at that time, now is a pathetic patch of green everywhere. There are no flowers but lots of green leaves. It's my fault not looking after them properly, only watering them once in a few days, no wonder all seems like dying now.


Even the fishes also very different from now. There were 5 of them during the Chinese New Year and now there left only 2 which you have seen in the previous post. There were so pretty red last time but now even their colour have changed. Probably because i never change the water regularly, haiz.
My dad and mom's anniversary in august this year. We like to drink alcohol (a small cup only) to celebrate happy occasions :)
Well this is my mom's 50th birthday celebration at home. As you can see, the bottle of alcohol stand just besides the cake, lol.

Paper done
I've have finally completed my Comparative Legal Studies paper. This is unbelievable since i only started writing a week ago. When i first knew there was a chance to do a paper this semester, i was excited and worried at the same time. I have never written a papaer and the 6,000 word limit seem like the skies since i have never written anything beyond the 3,000 mark. I finally decided to write on capital punishment in China as i was intriged with life and death and China was purely due to my professor's interest. I want to know what makes one person or a group of person decide to put another person to death and China has one of the longest and more gruesome history behind this.

Anyways, i have a problem now. I can't seem to think of a good title for my work :(
it is currently named Heads will Roll On to signify that the death penalty is here to stay in China and would not be abolish in the near future. Do you have any better ideas? please poll at the side bar or if you have better options, just comment below this post, thanks :)

The Results are OUT..
After a week of polling, the results of what you guys wanna see from my blog are finally out. It seems like the majority would like to know about my life and thoughts, more than movie/ music reviews, lol. Thanks to the 7 people who voted, now i know roughly how many people follows my blog too, haha..

There really isn't much to say about my life currently as it is purely just studies, especially these few weeks. The only time i took out was probably when i played around with G10. Here are a few shots using G10, nothing i magnificient, but i think that is because i have yet to study the manual of my baby, i only know focus and shooting now, lol. Hopefully i would get a chance to read the manual after my exams and before i go overseas :)


My super messy table with just enough space to place my laptop and a book or an A4 size note.


My messy notice board clippings with photos of friends and time table and the very very important notification of overseas trip reminder (one more time i forget to notify i'll probably get sued).


My lovely pond, where i can barely see the kois, much less take their pictures.


a closer view hoping to get a shot at the kois but still none could be sighted.


at least my goldfishes are more co-operative ;)

the weirdest dream
i had a dream last night. initially i was talking to a Cat High teacher, Mr Goh (that one in charge of councillor at my time there). i can't remember what we were talking about, but all i remembered was that he thinks i should take up acting modules (i don't even know if there are such modules). i replied to him that i should probably focus on more law-related courses and he half heartedly nodded. After that, i was talk to another 2 female teachers again from Cat High and one of them (can't remember her name though) asked me why i rejected Mr Goh's suggestion that i should take an acting module, telling me that i have the talent and really should consider taking up the module. i was quite shocked since i never expected another teacher to know of our conversation. then i woke up, weird.

Canon G10
This is my latest buy, the second most expensive purchase of my life this year. I have always wanted a camera that is of a better standard than those palm sized digital camera. But of course i know i am not a pro who is into those big, heavy sized camera. So this hybrid is the one just for me. With 14.7 Megapixels, and an optical zoom of 5x, this baby has all that i want and all that i need. I feel like i'm in love already :)

Men's Best Friend
Recently subscribe to August Man, a style magazine for the men of Singapore. This is an alternative to the guy magazines out there like FHM, MensHealth, Style:Men...etc. More fashion, lifestyle and gadgets that would interest most men and a wacky sense of humour that makes it such an enjoyable read. Particularly intrested in the watches that they advertise in the magazine, so beautiful that even seeing it is a pleasure in itself. Sometimes, there are some suitable fashion trends shown in the magazine as well, and it does help people who have not as creative fashion sense (like me) to mix and match clothes and accessories.
It does help that they have very nice covers and cover man as well, like the cover of Nadal not so long back, haha..
Hopefully by learning from this magazine, my style will improve, haha.

Yoga Lin- 感官/世界 Yoga's second album was released a week ago and even though i wasn't interested in it in the first place, i bought it after reading the super good review given by i-weekly. I have to admit that i-weekly is often very right about what it says, or at least i share the same taste as the magazine because i usually also liek those movie and albums that they like. This album is a concept album, a very brave venture out of pop music. But it does not mean that this album is lacking of commercial hits. There are still several very good k-songs in it that will no doubt be hits in karaoke.

The album opens with a more lazy tone (关于我), before going to the more dramtic tunes like (耳朵)。This builds up to the ballads where Yogo croons the soon to be k-hits 说谎 and 心酸。The album ends on a high note with pop rock songs like 竭斯底里 and 感同身受。A very sincere album not to be missed if you like pop music =)
