Just testing out the 50mm reversed for macro shots. bloody vf is too damn dark after f8...

Being regular means you're not pregnant!
Which is good! for now lar... lol. so ok i'll try to be more regular.
I dunno Wendy, sometimes if i don't have anything substantial to say i usually don't. but when i got shit to write... it's some cold hard constipated shit that comes out. more black than brown too, sometimes.
did a studio shoot today all in RAW. had problems getting the RAW files to load in PS CS but got it figured out. don't ask me why, it just didn't work, and after a while it did. like i said one time, i got a female computer, temperamental and will only work after u fuck it hard enuff. ok.. i'm sure i just ruffled a few (female) feathers there, but if u can't figure out that it was in jest, then ruffled ur feathers shall be!
anyway back to the RAW files, they are AWESOME. maybe also becos in controlled lighting with optimum aperture, so the photos are sharp and detailed. prob is, i need to figure out a faster way than loading it into PS one at a time. Looks like I gotta use Bibble, but that didn't load my S3 files either. wtf? i guess it's another case of female temperament, this time a different "female". see wat polygamy does to you? take it from me, men out there, remember the weighing machine: "One at a time, PLEASE!"
after the shoot, played mahjong with the regulars, won money. kena bao DA SAN YUAN by Adrian still can win. hmm maybe i should start my mj career again. right after i master Glendee's "mi ji".
baby, i just hope i can clear all my backlog soon. there's so many things we should do together, but all we've been doing recently is helping me, and doing a great job at that. it's just that i cannot "rest" in peace with such a huge back log on my ass. these couple of days being "recalled" to the office doesn't help, really threw my schedule off. this weekend is gonna be work till the flesh drops off my bones, and then use the bones boil soup, dun forget the ikan bilis. u get the idea.
Desire @ Scarlet is waiting for us, with a free bottle of wine too. *muakZ*
Oh I almost forgot POTD. Who cares if it's 6+ am and i have to be up at 8+...?
ok.. fire away at this image. it won't go down well with 95% of pple that view it. but do i look like i care? =)
for the record, i LOVE this pic. maybe becos i haven't really done something with so much movement from BOTH subject and camera before.. took quite a few shots just to come up with just this good one. so yes, the others were pretty much... like shit.

Eye pain...
The last few days has seen me suffering from "eye trauma" every now and again. it's just twitches, itches and basically irritating me to the highest order.
now whoever is talking about me behind my back, i'm sorry. tell me where u live, and when u'll be home, i'll come over and apologise to you. it'll prob be the last apology u'll ever hear...
ok, here we go, POTD... *muakZ* to u baby!!

Officially an unofficial full time photographer.
How oxymoronic.
Congrats to myself from being released from the clutches of full time employment, to being in the clutches of being poor!
I've still been pretty busy with photos that I owe from September, and just STUFF. my days are filled more or less, and thank goodness for baby, or else I'll be getting calls every few hours cursing me for not being where i'm supposed to be. If there's anyone who's bad at remembering appointments.. it's.. well, not me! (in case my customers are reading this!)
ok lar.. nothing that heartfelt to write. leave you with a photo that, for some reason, baby and i love very much.

Third last rotten egg to be smashed to smithereens!
Well, not really. Just three more days of official work.
Actually i'm meant to go to the auditors office to pick up some documents. But i buay ke yan to go so i decided to blog.
Baby had a hard time calling to wake me up again today. I think these few days have been tough. Lack of sleep, coupled with ZERO motivation to get up to go to work (to smell rotten eggs?) makes a good recipe for phone-keep-ringing-but-u-dun-hear-jack-shit syndrome.
Thank you baby for being so patient. I suspect it won't be like this after this month ok?
My boss had a nice chat with me yesterday, saying let's have things end on a good note. Given, my attitude has been LIKE SHIT for at least the last 3 weeks; whether or not that's justifiable as a resignee depends on who's side you're on. Either way, he's still a friend, and of course I'd keep in touch. He even offered for me to come back should things not work out on my end.
I hope he knows that i've never disliked him. He keeps on saying i might think he's a fucked up boss (at which point i would always try unsuccessfully butt in to correct him) but that there would be no need to talk behind each others' backs. ahahhaha the ironic thing is, he does it lor!! as if i dunno like that. but i think that's normal. when something irritates you, u just wanna scratch the hell out of it. some pple do that by bitching. most pple.
right.. i guess i better get moving.
no, not to work. i meant life. oct is coming. time to make some serious movement.
to all my couples that i owe photos to: ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT!!!! =P
as if they are reading like that....
POTD? :
My favourite shot of Cheryl (dunno about the earrings tho..) in some part of singapore waters on a speed boat where i knocked my lens against the boat driver several times trying to frame this shot. maybe that's why the boat wasn't that steady... hmm.

My weekend... what weekend?
it went by so fast, i felt like it never happened.
shot three couples this weekend, in particular, congratulations to Jaime and Aaron, whom I've know for many years. Many blissful years ahead to you both!!!
i was just mentioning to baby last nite. how often do you get to end your day on 0% battery? i mean yes, most of us have hectic days, and even nights, but how often do you get home totally SPENT? like u eyes are half closed, u dun care if the house's on fire, you don't even wanna go to the toilet becos then u'll have to spend that extra 15 calories to get there, and right now u're already in deficit.
talking about 0% battery, i managed to drain my quantum 2x2 to the end. ZERO. the flash LCD couldn't even come on!
oh ya.. sure, i hear u going, "happens to me all the time". cmon, we get home TIRED, but that don't mean we don't have energy to watch tv, come online, have sex. i'm talking about really NOTHING LEFT lor... curl up and die and make a roast human from the burning house-oven.
after talking so much, i still came home to come online lar. ahhah duhz.
2 more weeks to go b4 i leave this company. whatever the future holds, for now, i just look forward to one thing. sleep.
