Hanging On..

The date is out! My violin exam is in the second week of December. I have about another a month plus and I’m seriously…FREAKING OUT!!!

.

.

Furthermore… I need to accompany a friend of mine in her violin exam (Me=piano, she=violin) which is scheduled around a week before my violin exam.

.

.

Oh, my! What have I gotten myself into????

.

.

Suddenly, I missed those school days where we can simply NOT CARE about ANYTHING. (well…. at least I don’t, anyway) Homework, school work, duty, etc. etc….. and the best of all, we get 6 weeks of holidays at the end of the year!!!

.

.

Oh, yeah… and now I also have to “FAN” about students’ exam next year. Who’s going, which grade…. AARGH!!!

.

.

I need to cool down, calm down. I need to imagine myself at a beach. The smell of the sea water, the tall coconut trees, the hot sand under my feet, a group of good looking + six-pack guys playing volley ball, girls in their sexy bikinis…. me lying down enjoying cold drinks with a bunch of friends….

.

.

AAaahhhh… when will that come true???

.

.

.

Sorry if I sounded soooo neurotic here… well… my blog is my place to vent out. Pardon me and please bear with me.

 

Camera Poison

Forget about handphones! I’m into camera now!!

.

.

Poisoning myself with images of cameras from the net nowadays. My current camera is acting strange, i.e; blur images, etc. I haven’t really looked into it, for all we know, it might be just because of weak battery.

.

However, it got me thinking:  Should I get a new camera??

.

.

Got budget?                                             NO.

Your camera really really spoil liau?     NO.

Then you don’t really have the necessity to change it?     Er… No.

.

.

But what’s wrong with imagining myself with a NEW camera??

It’s free, and hey, it might be good for my brain (not to mention, my purse!!) too.

.

.

For all these while, I’ve been thinking of getting a DSLR, as it has more modes to tweak on, and you can control it more (no more Auto settings?) It can capture good good pictures (well, depending on your skill too!) and most of all, can zoom like nobody’s business (good for spying and stalking – provided you have the budget to invest on the lenses, but I’m comparing with the normal compact camera).

.

However, the bulkiness really put me down. I like to take candid shots and – how would anybody NOT notice you when you grab a DSLR for a candid shot??

.

.

And the price is also… high.

.

.

So, now I’m looking into THESE: Needless to say, some of them cost as much as a DSLR.

.

Canon Power Shot G11

(5.0 Optical zoom,10.0 mp)

.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1

I liked the pop-up flash though. (12.0mp)

.

Now, about the pop-up flash, I would say this is the cutest one I’ve seen so far:

Leica X1

Cylindrical! But Leica’s price is even…. higher. (11.0mp)

.

.

Now, another brand that my friends mentioned and I’m starting to notice is Ricoh. The latest model is:

.

Ricoh CX2

It’s a compact though. (10.7 Optical zoom, 9.0mp)

Wait. 10.7 Optical zoom? Really or not??

.

.

.

Maybe I should just looked into my camera 1st. If still can use, use la…. Save money environment!!!

.

PS: May, do you still have that money tree seed?  Give me some leh….

 

Silly me….

Don’t know what happened to me nowadays.

.

First, there have been a few times where I had forgotten whether I’ve pulled my handbrake (after I parked my car) or I’ve locked my car. I ALWAYS have to double back to check.

.

.

Second:  Apparently, I forgot to charge my handphone. (Happened a lot of times!!)

.

.

Third: There was one time where I forgot to bring my violin to MY violin class. Double back, speed like mad, to get my violin.

.

.

Fourth: during the mid-autumn festival, brought my camera but then – I forgot about my memory card. Memory card-less, as good as didn’t bring the camera at all.

.

.

Fifth: Accidentally deleted a folder of pictures without saving it in my computer 1st.

.

.

Sixth: Forgot where I parked my car and took me more than 8 minutes to find where it was (twice!!)

.

.

Am I getting old or is my grey matter shrinking??

 

It’s time.

I don’t know how to explain,

But I know it’s time.

.

There might not be a clear intention

But I know it’s time.

.

Have been thinking for a while

But waiting for the moment to come.

Even though I’m not the happiest

But it’s time.

.

I know you didn’t understand

But neither do I.

All I can hope for

Is that the better is coming.

.

Thank you for all these years

That you’ve made comforting.

Nothing can compare to

These memories.

.

Hoping for the bond to last forever, but

.

Should one day we had

forgotten

Or have been forgotten,

changed or drifted,

.

Never solemn,

For we had a chance to experience

The best of time together.

Withheld

I don’t know about you, but I certainly hated it when I see this on my phone:

I will just ignore the call, anyway..!

>

>

I just wonder why they want to withheld their number? Can someone enlighten me please?

>

The only reason I can come up with is : To remain anonymous. (Use public phone la!!!)

>

>

That will bring me to another question:  Why would they want to remain anonymous?

>

a) They know I won’t answer their call.

b) They are playing some sort of prank.

c) They thought I would give their number to some annoying people (coz’ they knew they had annoyed me)

d) They thought it’s ‘cool’.

>

To any of my friends, if you had withheld your number and you called me, expect me NOT to answer or pick up your phone. Why? Coz’ I’m just plain weird. (I’m a control freak.) Don’t bother to call again unless you ARE letting me to know who you are.

Thank you.
