Trackspin: Journey - Don't Stop Believin'.

Been stuck on listening to Journey since I bought their CD. HAHA. Thanks for the Glee version of the song which rocked too!

Hmm, it's a slow day, though I need to head out to buy my shoes as well as get some presents. Hopefully I can get everything done in record time, HAHA.

Work this week has been really tiring, making me unable to remember what day of the week it is, due to the long working hours. However, yesterday was really the greatest. Ade and Dom are the cutest couple I've met thus far in my line of work and they're so different and yet, I suppose that's what makes them really interesting. She's so cheerful, carefree and outspoken, even with people she's recently met, whereas he's so quiet and reserved, only opening up a little bit more when in the company of his closest buddies. I really enjoyed covering their ROM last Saturday and their wedding yesterday. Honestly wish them all the best and I hope I'll meet them again someday.

Curiously, a whole lot of music played by couples on their wedding days remind me of you, making me miss you more. (:

Managed to find quite a bit of time to spend with people like Val and Cedric, even if it's just a simple lunch all the way at AH. Really enjoy the company and talks. Eugene's back from London too, managed to get in a round of L4D2 with Ced, BigBen and Eug on Monday. Great stuff. Now I really want to pull an all-nighter out playing. Addicted to gaming once more? Maybe. I really want to give ModernWarfare2 a go too. Pity I haven't installed Windows on my Mac, nor do I have a desktop at home. Time to build one up from scratch maybe? Hmm..

Using Mike's equipment has left me wanting so much more out of my camera. But sadly, it's unable to produce. I guess I should just make full use of it until I'm able to finance the 5DmII or something. Also, Mike's getting me addicted to primes. Absolutely love the 85 F1.2, 35 F1.4 and the 100 F2.8. The 16-35 F2.8 is a bonus, along with the 70-200 F2.8 IS. Sigh. But I guess it's good to just get used to moving about to get the shots you want. I feel I've learnt a lot from Mike lately, with him teaching me and stuff. Hopefully I don't disappoint him as second photographer on the 26th and 27th. Hmm, still find my shots rather lackluster though. Pffft.

Okay, time for me to head out of the house soon, gotta go get my shoes and check for my pay! Then its off to get more shopping done!

Christmas seems to always be the season of love. Love Actually anyone? Or is it all just a fairytale?

Trackspin: Marie Digby - Spell.

Been a long weekend of work for me, which seemed to pass so quickly somehow because I didn't get to meet up with the usual people who matter to me. On the brighter side, work went well, started taking shots as well during the weddings, under the guidance of Mike. It's just been a great weekend at work though I sorely and dearly miss my friends and this month isn't going to be easy because I'm packed up with work every weekend of December.

Weirdly, here's the slight bit of ranting now. I'm very sure that you do not want me to be a part of your life at all, not even as a friend. Guess I should stop trying to be nice and be friends when you've let things degrade beyond a point where we aren't even acquaintances anymore. Just as well I guess, considering all that's been said and done. Here's goodbye to you, and I wish you well.

Back to the post! I need more sleep, been getting very little lately, due to extremely late nights, resulting in major headaches and bad dreams. So much in my head that needs to be put into a little box and thrown into the ocean. I guess work helps take some stress away, seeing everyone around being happy and smiley.

Nana's back, so I suppose we all need to start on that food hunt some time soon.

Interestingly, I saw Wei Liang yesterday on the bus home during my break. Was a really short catch-up considering he stayed on the bus for only 2 stops. But the catching up was good, to me at least. He's really matured now, compared to before. Guess everybody does at some point in life and I hope he's happy with his life the way it is now and that we'll meet up again some day soon, with Bryandt and the others too.

Christmas is coming but I'm honestly not too in the mood for it? I guess it's just that I'm flooded with work and haven't exactly been thinking of the festive season. Next up after Christmas is Matthew's wedding. Wondering if I should rent the equipment to shoot it for him myself. I guess I could, for sure. But yeah, I'll consider it first I guess. Mike made a whole lot of sense.

Back to Christmas! Caroling has been rather bad, in my humblest opinion. I'm just really upset at the whole deal right now and I'm not going back down for the practices or for the actual thing if possible, if only for the company of friends who have asked me to go. It's just absurd when you try to help people and they just ignore all that's been said, no? How about helping them with every aspect that you think can be helped with and improved on for something but blatantly being ignored in your face about it? I guess sometimes, patience is a virtue. But times like these, enough is enough.

Basketball this Wednesday, hopefully all goes well. Last thing I need to do is get injured, seeing that this month is so busy. Alright, time for me to head out of the house after getting my stuff ready.

"Have patience with all things, but most importantly, with yourself."

Trackspin: OneRepublic - Prodigal.

Went to Mike's place to learn more about Lightroom and Photoshop today, for doing edits. Was pretty impressed by the ease with which he edited the images. Interesting. Guess here's where I start editing some images here and there too. Went out to some print and frame place. Really nice people in the industry and all. Also had a pretty good talk with him on the way back. Guess I'm really lucky to have a boss I can talk to so easily and without many barriers.

Somehow, I feel like some friends I have aren't really friends at all? They can stick close and whatnot at times but at the end of the day, maybe it's just not worth it being their friend, or vice versa? It seems like such an act at times, to me. And honestly, I hate how we aren't as close as we were back in school. Somehow, something's changed. Maybe the whole fiasco from our final year changed the friendship we had. But I never regretted it, saying what I did because at the end of the day, we all know the truth. One of clique didn't do jackshit, relied on the rest of us for a good grade, and yet dared to say that we wrongfully accused the said person. And I thought despite one of us being a neutral party, I thought the other had my back, which was the case at first. But things have changed so much and it doesn't exactly feel like we're friends anymore. I guess at the end of the day, girls are more important. I don't know if our friendship ever meant anything to you, if it was just a phase where you started hanging out with them again after all that happened after we left school. Maybe it was just the lack of catching up and all, but honestly, it feels like we dropped all pretences at being friends and went back to being acquaintances. It's just weird. And I'm just the excluded party now, not that I honestly mind. I suppose I'm just being a little nostalgic about older days. But I won't keep harping on the past, nor live in it. I hope the future holds better things for us all.

A lot of people are getting into photography nowadays. I guess it's due to a large number of factors. I honestly want to improve on my shots and get into the habit of composing better. Wonder if using a manual prime will somewhat "force" me to work on the little things like that. I sure hope so, in view of the things to come. And I'm still wondering if I should take up the 2nd photographer job for wedding after Christmas. Don't know if I'm ready to handle that burden yet, but I guess it'll be good exposure and also it'll teach me more? Anybody with any opinions? Okay, I don't even know who reads this anymore.

Short to say, I'm enjoying my life for now, planning ahead and hoping and praying about the future. Only two paths I foresee myself walking down from here on. I really hope to stay on with the people I'm working for now though. Guess I just enjoy my job a whole lot and I find the company of my bosses an interesting twist, similar to some of my close friends too. Hard to explain it I guess.

Alright, I'm off to read my book again and maybe doze off in bed once more.

And you know, with regards to your email, even if I didn't want to think about you, I had to change buses at your place, coming home from my boss's house. HAHA. (:

Trackspin: Jamiroquai - Runaway.

Back to this for today simply because I miss playing bass. And that fat P-bass sound is still in my head. Ugh.

Cycling around last night on Justin's bike made me miss cycling a whole lot. We'll see what happens.

As of today, I've come to realise that quite a good number of people have handphones for no reason at all. It's not that difficult to reply a simple SMS right? If that's the wet weather plan, not replying, then it's pointless for me to go down for orientation simply because I'm stuck at home in the rain, without knowing where to meet, what to do next. Congrats on this.

I figure it's all because of the bad weather that my mood is pretty foul right now too. That plus Spurs lost to Celtics this morning. It had bloody better not rain tomorrow morning. I'm not attending YC orientation, despite people asking me to. I find it pointless for me to do so as well. Especially with people taking things into their own hands and telling me that they want me to "sacrifice" my entire day when I could jolly well be working or doing something more productive. And for what? To make use of me, literally. Sometimes, people just graduate from selfish to downright assholes when it comes to stuff like that. And to make it worse, it was made to seem like I owe you a favour such that I'd drop anything and everything just to do that for you. Maybe it's just me, finding all these a little tiresome now. I don't mind being asked, but put it nicely and ask nicely. Don't expect to always have things your way, damn it. Annoying.

Okay, still no reply though it's already 1.27pm and my SMS was sent out at 12.34pm. Worst case scenario, I'll just find something else to do for the day. Apathy at work.

Guess I'm looking forward to Sunday's work, can't wait to crap with Michael again, though I think I'll suffer with his bag, haha. Hopefully can get him to teach me to fully utilize LR.

Alright, enough ranting for the day, I'm off to read my book and get ready everything for nothing.

Trackspin: Bread - Make It With You.

Okay, I managed to catch a shot of the moon tonight, with it being so big and round. Here you go, cropped pictures!






I know, I know, it's not sharp also. No tripod means no choice though.

Been trying to enjoy myself the past couple of days. Working this Sunday again, not sure with whom yet though. Don't I just love my job? Haha. Mike said it's going to be a busy month ahead. Looking at their schedule next year, I'm better off looking for another job starting in Jan. Sigh.

Thanks a million for the time today and the chat over dinner haha. Guess sometimes we're stuck in situations where we cannot influence any major changes in the scene but only pray about it and continue with doing our small parts, to keep everything running as smoothly as possible. Talks with you put things in perspective for me at times, so thanks. (:

Alright, it's time to read my book and head to bed I suppose. The utter lack of plans for tomorrow is killing my head. Bleagh.

Trackspin: Lauren Wood - Fallen.

Okay, back to loving this song, courtesy of someone. -insert huge grin here- Rarity for multiple posts from me within a day.

First and foremost, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Dinner caused me to break off one of my brackets from my teeth! SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE SHIT?! UGH. It has to be a Saturday too, the dental clinic is only gonna be open on Monday! That means being VERY VERY CAREFUL with my food and all tomorrow. ARGH! Utterly irritating.

Okay, just a major rant from me because I still cannot believe dinner was so good, yet caused my bracket to break off my teeth. HUR. Stupid Seb. Okay, back to bass-ics. Heh.

Trackspin: Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack - Tonight I Celebrate My Love.

Being Sappy Sebby once more, with a whole load of "oldies but goodies" love songs. I think Boomy would laugh at me if he knew I was in this stage once more. HAHA.

Surprisingly, it's been such a bad day somewhat? Basketball was really heartening because there was a really large number of us for once and it makes organising basketball all that more worthwhile to me, that there are people who would want to come down and play ball, as well as enjoying themselves along the way.

Really need to realise that I need to eat breakfast in the mornings before basketball. Really suffered the effects today and I got quite a scare because I actually had chest pains in the middle of a match when it was actually a pretty okay/slower-paced game. Got quite worried about running and decided to slow the day down, which made it a whole lot crappier because I felt like a disabled person somehow, being lazy and all. Trash man.

Ah well, as such, I think it's time I get back into a fitness regime somehow, start running and get back into shape, slowly perhaps. Need to NOT feel my age. And I'm still quite amazed that the bunch of us managed to finish off that game rather easily, though I didn't help much at all today, just finding open people. Not everybody has to score to be effective and I hope I'm doing the right thing at the right time. Disappointing shooting day though, through and through. Consistency has left the building.

I feel so short nowadays. BigBen and Matthew are the reasons behind it. And I abhor my lack of height. If not for me being 171-174cm, I should be able to be doing more. And if only I didn't wind up with a somewhat-crippling ankle injury previously. Hur. As said, time for a training program I guess. I really want to try to do all these before I hit 25. Before all bodily functions start slowing down for good maybe. HAHA. I guess that means trying to eat healthier and not go binge drinking and all. I suppose discipline is the factor. And maybe I still have it in me to just force myself to keep to some form of a program haha.

Alright, still listening to more love songs at the moment. Just a whole new bunch of songs that I'm enjoying. Sappy Sebby, signing off here. It's time to get ready to head out to church.

Another nice song, go listen to Natalie Cole - Miss You Like Crazy!
