on a day like this....

... when the price tags kill off all desires to shop...

i can only resort to collecting christmas trees and decors...


bugis...


inside bugis...


from soo keee....


inside suntec...


outside suntec...


outside raffles city... i thought it is an interesting tree which is different from the ones that they usually have..


outside raffles city... quite an interesting concept.. bling bling... they used that for the overhead street design thing too... did not managed to get a nice shot though. wonder what it looks like when it is being lighted up.


close up bling bling...

That is all for today. Will take another day to cover the town area.

poisoned...

It has been a very long time since i got poisoned by a local phone. This is since the day I stumble upon a forum showcasing Japanese phones. I owned one 903SH and i tell you, they have this huge and crystal clear screen with top notch cameras with CCD sensors.

It is more than 2 years since i got my 903SH. I could only see and dream about the later models with those sleek and classy design with amazingly clear and large screens.

FINALLY, the wait is over. Sony Ericsson has finally come up with the Satio, boasting 3.5" screen with a 16:9 ratio. YES, you can enjoy widescreen video! Those Japanese phones used LCD TV technology for their screen. Sony Ericsson has done it for the Japanese market. I wonder if it is true for this one though as it is not specified. Imagine having a Bravia for your hp screen. Anyway, if the videos available online can be trusted, it is definitely a very clear one. (I think they played HD version of the Transformer 2 trailer and its fantastic!)

It also boasts a 12.1 megapixel (although i do not really think the bigger the better.) and uses its own CMOS sensor. Slightly disappointing. The pictures turn out vibrant on the phone. Wonder how it would be like on the PC. But it has one feature which i like a lot. The touch focus. By simply touching the screen, the camera will take a shot with the desired focus area. Sounds like a big potential for playing with macro shots.

The downside is that there is no 3.5mm audio jack, which is very disappointing as it is supposed to be a powerful entertainment phone. There is also a slight bulge at the back where the camera is housed and it is definitely a fingerprint magnet.





Simply cant wait to get my hands on 1... (If only the model comes along with the phone. Hahaha. Oopsx someone going to come after me...)

Okie now i should really get back to my revision. Haha. Anyway just 2 more pictures.


Light vs Darkness. (My need for revision vs the desire to slack)


Darkness is taking over~~ (So is my desire to slack...)

End of the world!!!

School term has finally ended. This is how i ended my last lecture.

"So if you do not have any more questions, i conclude that this is the end of the module. I will be on leave from tomorrow onwards. If you have any questions, you can approach prof A. He has taught this module before. On the actual exam, prof B will be invigilating. The paper will be marked by prof A. I have already given him your CA grades."

Amazing! In fact, SHOCKING! And we were always in doubt what is the scope of the exam. He initially said closed book exam which is disastrous given the difficulty of the module. After much persuasion from the students, he said "If you want, you can bring 1 to 2 pieces of paper. I will ask the invigilator to close one eye."

WHAT? Ask invigilator to close one eye? so does that really mean helpsheet is allowed? and what is 1 to 2 piece? so its 1 or 2?

"They chose to stay behind and leave their fate to the prayers." -quote from the movie 2012

I find the above quote suiting to my situation. Yea, caught the movie after school today. The movie is freaking good to be missed. Highly recommended. Non-stop action and an absolute thriller.

While watching this movie, i had one take home message in my head. I am going to put in a harder effort in conserving earth. Don't get me wrong. I am not that noble, trying to save the earth and all. After watching 2012, my only thought is to try and conserve earth, hoping all that shit will not happen while i am alive.

Another quote which got stuck in my head. (I can't really remember the exact phrase but it goes something like this.)"The day that man stop fighting for each other, that is the day mankind will end."

happiness (sadness) is just a state of the mind

the title was quoted from the movie "love happens". I guess that is what i really need now.

exams are just around the corner. Slightly less than 2 weeks to be exact. There is absolutely no motivation to study at all.

Hey! Why is that so? you got a month break right after your exams no?

yea~~ and i have got 2 weeks of in camp training and 1 overlapping week of standby immediately after the exam period. I am not exactly sure if that is something to actually look forward to.

Looking at the issue more optimistically, perhaps i should be happy that i have this issue to complain and whine about. After all, this is my 2nd last final exams...

Love Happens

It has been a long time since i last visited orchard. The christmas lightings are up!! It is about time to bring out my big camera and snap away. In fact, i planned to bring it out but i changed my mind at the last minute. Nevertheless, got some not-fantastic-but still-decent photos to share~~






dont you think that the japanese packaging make it seem so much more delicious?

Caught the movie "Love Happens" today. i have to say, it is rather disappointing. The movie is about this guy who writes a self-help book on coping with the loss of a loved one. The book turned out to be a hot seller and he held seminars to help people cope with the loss. However, the fact is he never did get over the death of his wife.

Other than a few tear jerking moments where they describe their feelings and how their loved one dies, the rest of the movie was quite bland. With the topic that the movie is touching on, i expected a much more sadder show. The best part of the movie is... JENNIFER ANNISTON! I still think she is hot.

Exams coming in around 2 to 3 weeks time. Time flies. Soon i will be back in camp for my re-service. And also the start of RT. Haiz...

Halo

Came to know this sound during a ktv session. beautiful...



"Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away"
