Went to Pinnacle @ Duxton just now to shoot the sunset. It was 50 stories high and very scary indeed. But the view was magnificent.

I wanted to post this long ago but because I was busy in camp I couldn’t find time to post this up.

Last Sunday was the day before Elie had to leave for Australia. So we met up with her friends to do a cosplay shoot for Kingdom Hearts. She is cosplaying as Kairi and her friend Max is cosplaying Roxas.

Here are some of the shots

I was reading news and I came upon this very lucky incident.

Anthony Holtvogt was careless enough to accidentally fire his gun in a restaurant, but thankfully his girlfriend must’ve bought her BlackBerry from Superman. It’s the only explanation I’ve got for the fact that the phone stopped a bullet.

Watch the news for yourself.

I’m suppose to go to SAFRA Tampines today for my company’s “Cohesion Day” celebration. So I met up with Yao Zhong and Zi Wen in Woodlands so we can take bus 168 straight to Tampines.

After meeting up with them, we boarded the bus and due to the lack of seats, the three of us were standing up in the middle of the bus. I was reading newspaper then. As I was reading halfway suddenly i hear a “Crash!”, the shattering of glass/metal and the screams of everybody. The next moment I was flying. I banged against the wall but wasn’t injured, though Zi Wen flew and his shoulder banged onto my chest. So there is a bruise there. Zi Wen and I saw someone flew and banged onto the pole that were meant for us to hold. And the pole broke. :S

Apparently the bus I was on didn’t stop at the stop line to give way to the bus going straight from the right, thus the accident. Zi Wen’s PSP is a goner. He is going to lodge a complain to SBS to ask for compensation. To me its a blessing not to get hurt in the accident. I was quite traumatized at first. Its a experience I won’t forget too.

To those who likes to buy 4D, the bus number was SBS9418X

I’m suppose to go to this place called “Alliance Francaise de Singapour” today to help Faith shoot her stage performance which she has been practicing for a long time already.

The play was much better than I thought. All of the group’s acting and singing is fantastic. I would easily rate it 10/10 for the performance. They can join Mediacorp liao. Haha.

Shooting there is not an easy task though. I wasn’t allowed to use flash and they dim the entire place like a cinema. So my only light source was the one that is shining on the stage, which was quite pathetic also. So I didn’t manage to get sharp shots but managed to have some decent shots though.

I woke up especially early today to get ready for a wedding shoot.

It was a short shoot and it was over after lunch. But it was a enjoyable shoot and I managed to take some good photos. At least today’s shoot is finally over, next week there will be a performance shoot.

I will not be posting photos of the couple though. But I can post a abstract shot that I took this afternoon.

Remember I had a toe operation last time?

Well the nail grew out and went back into my flesh again. And because I was in course I didn’t go to see a doctor about it. And it got much much worse den before. So today I went to see a doctor about it. He told me to do the same operation again. It’s like going through hell again. Man, how unlucky can I get.

Here are the Rikku’s pictures as promised yesterday.

Today I went to harbourfront to meet Elie to shoot a Final Fantasy X theme. She is going to cosplay Yuna and her friend is going to cosplay rikku. Not going to write too much as my blog has become wordy already. So I’ll let the pictures do the talking. I’ll post Yuna’s pictures first, i’ll post rikku’s when I have the time.

Mummy organised a KTV outing today at Balestier as a celebration for my 21st birthday. It was a very rare event to see my brothers, my mum, and my godfamily gather together as a family for an outing. I have been waiting for today for a long time.

It was a bad timing because I have had sore throat for over a week and its still quite bad, so I can’t really sing properly today. Papa also had some fish bone stuck on his throat after dinner so he was making quite a fuss about it during the KTV and he seemed annoyed that I was so engrossed with the karaoke and didn’t teach him how to use his new phone.

So I felt guilty when he walked out of the KTV with a black face and didn’t come back for a long time. I thought he was angry with me. So I didn’t really enjoy my karaoke because of my guilty conscience. The whole event went fine. I really appreciate Mummy’s effort to make my 21st Birthday a more memorable one. Thank you Mummy~!

This year I wished a wish that I have been wishing for many years now. I hope it can come true this year.
