With so much talk on how 'unplanned' my life in the previous few months was, the whole of last week has been filled with much 'planning!" Enough of getting lost!
Honestly, I've been getting really tired of taking photos with my more than passe Fujifilm Camera. The F series have been great. But looking back, I think it's a really good time for some good photography investment.
I quote myself, "If any picture's worth taking, it's worth being taken well" somewhat ripped off from the common "Anything worth doing is worth doing well"
Was thinking of getting a proper DSLR, many models came to mind, especially Canon's EOS 5D MK 2 since I've seen it take seriously good photos. Did a little research and found that it wasn't good for Sporting Events. Which is superbly important since I still have hopes of taking really nice DanceSport photos till I hit the dance floor again.
So I figured maybe I'll get a Nikon D300s. Not too pricey as compared to the EOS 5D MK2, noted to be a 'Semi-pro' and perhaps a really good platform to kick off! I'm really looking forward!
And on this blog, I'm linking the plans on photography with a new skin. So I'm still patiently waiting! So... just stay patient for now yeap?
I was browsing through my previous links, and I've still got to say, my favourite past work is the one on MMABE. Though it wasn't exactly complete, I still feel the pride and effort poured into it. Just a bit sad I didn't pursue anything in Flash. But really, I rather get someone to do it than rot on the chair. There's more moolah in Management! ;P
And on further studies, my answer has always been: "I'm still doing my research" and I still am, or at least have officially embarked on now. Let's just hope they won't give me the "Thank you for your application, but..." sheet. !#)(*#@! I don't need that!
And of course, I've been very eager in planning for my own room. Pouring through the Ikea catalogue, I'm just waiting to get my own room. Some peace and privacy! Like I used to have!
Was in the movies last night with JJ, Gid, Keith and Cedric, a small reunion accompanied with the most unreal experiences, unexpected acquaintances, so much catching up and we ended it all with Dim Sum supper at Swee Choon. Not the best, but it definitely hits the spot!
Was watching SuckSeed, and it's really one good Thai movie! Filled with much Romance, Bromance, Humour and lots of Music. It's almost like a promo for their local bands. Thais have a good sense of humour that most of us will witness in their local ads, and the way they infuse that into their movies just makes everything else better!
The last one I watched was about Thais undergoing National Service for the first time, and it's damn funny! Forgot the title already, shall ask Kay about it and put it up when I have it.
The OST for the movie's stucked in my iPod now!
The Super whiney drummer who drummed till his blood came out of his cast, the pretty boy bassist and the egoistic and drama mama Lead singer!
Okay, enough said, you've got to watch it!
Was on the role of a facilitator the whole of last week since we're already over and out of JCC. The team I got wasn't really too proactive and I must say, was really hard to get them to work harder. Whatever the reason was, I couldn't really be bothered. But I guess my focus and goal is pretty much clear. Peers came over and told me they were really 'cui', meaning "Cannot make it" the night before the assessment. But they eventually made it with grades better than those under my peers.
Throughout the process, I wasn't one bit angry, for some really weird reason. But I was deemed not to blow my top because to me, that's when people really switch off.
I'm good with taking the not-so-good performers. Like what Dad says, the best Teachers teach those who need help, not those who've already got it or don't really need it.
My belief?
Always add meaning, if you can't, find meaning, if you still can't, make.
If all else fails, JUST DO IT!
I've always had anger issues. But here's something that enlightened me a little. Who else better to heed?
"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned."
