Just another day off from work, and my legs feels like Spongebob’s. I reckon there’s alot of things to do today, but unfortunately I couldn’t decide on the order of how to accomplish them in a single day. Just to name a few, the room needs cleaning, my Oly needs cleaning, the Xbox360 needs a gamertag, my blog needs a face lift and I need sleep! The urge to go out and actually take photos falls somewhere in the middle of the list. Tried to sms a particular friend but ended up exchanging brief messages with his girl. Yikes! I better stay away!! Realizing an anomaly of oneself, I keep storing the wrong numbers (i.e: my friend’s girlfriend’s) in my contact list these days. God forgive me.

Been feeling this beautiful song these days. I recall falling in love with it the first time I heard it over Class 95.

Silent Lucidity by Queensryche via Youtube.

I felt it was freaky but a little pleasant at the same time, and I could safely list it in my mind that it’s my first kind of a dream of actually going out taking macro shots with my Oly! Like most bedtime skits, it wasn’t all too vivid and I couldn’t recall much besides holding the three fragile pieces of glass and actually attaching it to the lens, and it was blurry too – as if I’m looking through a lensbaby!

By the way, guess I’ve gotten myself into the ring of newshounds in the anomaly magazine Fortean Times. So far I’ve submitted two stories on two dates – the auspicious 06.06.06 and the following day. In the meantime, I’ve got to dig for more stories!

I’m back home for the weekend. Reservist this year is a little laid back than the last, but it’s all too early to tell. There’s loads of cumbersome fun coming ahead in the coming weeks. Despite the familiar faces, met Aslam whom I’ve spent most of my childhood playtime with. Not to mention Wan and Kutil, my former bunkmates from Squad 10.

So much for the first two days, now I’m stuck at home listening to Journey. Gonna go down to Causeway Point later on, and maybe get some photography mags…

In the meantime, gonna prepare my stuff for tomorrow evening.

Kick off my shoes and get everything into the glass! Thanks to Amsyari, more pics can be viewed here...

While the rest of the boys went off to catch the match between Singapore and Selangor at the Kallang stadium, I took my Oly out to Peninsula Plaza with Amsyari. Splurge on a Konix macro lens kit and a UV lens protector. I guess it was a good investment, and perhaps I might get myself an ultra-wide next time around. Still, I can’t get enough of taking macro shots earlier on this afternoon since the sun was setting down real fast.

Settled down at Lau Pa Sat and ordered 60 sticks of satay. I somehow outwit my stomach to gobble up 27 sticks. Guess it felt like Fear Factor, only palatable!

It’s been some time now, and I guess I don’t really like to have this blog hanging just like that. Been very busy with work lately, especially weekends where I think I don’t really have any time for myself.

Anything new lately? I’ve just traded my W800i for a Nokia 3250. I couldn’t find any function more useful such as a dedicated audio player in a hand phone. Apart from that, I’ll look at its imaging quality. So far, W800i really impressed me, but messaging is a little too laggy. I don’t mind the rather slow shutter due to its auto focus capability. The 3250 on the other hand, has good codec support for numerous audio format – especially the aac and the m4a. I could save half of the memory capacity without sacrificing sound quality, at least good enough for listening with the handsfree kit. Another nice extra is the smoothen out fonts which really looked – nice. Pictures taken by the twisting camera looked good too. I felt it’s just about the same as taking on a 35mm camera minus the auto focus. Themes are abundant on the net, often gorgeous on the main screen but rather horrible on the menu. Maybe I’ll make my own with the Series 60 Theme Studio, but all the java crunching is really too much for my laptop.

Enough of the mobile review, I’ve decided to move into my mom’s room. Dad has also come into agreement, since he sleeps in the living room. Most of the stuff will remain there tho, probably centralized in a single section of the room, and I’m opting for a sofa-bed to save more space. Apart from that, its time for spring cleaning and a mild change for my wardrobe!

How long has it been? I’ve almost lost track of my work schedule, now having a bout of flu and I felt like experiencing solitary to another new level. What is lacking, if not the feeling of emptiness inside of me?

Images still plays vividly in my mind – all of them. There’s this feeling of regret within me that I can never forgive myself, for as long as I live. That’s alright, perhaps I take it as an invaluable lesson and as a reminder to myself.

Tanty bought me a new Levi’s watch for a discounted price, grayish in color with red LCD panel. It’s a little smaller compared to my bold Nike watch. Also, got a few new albums to compliment my stack of cd collection, partly owned by my brother:

1. Kings of Convenience -  Riot on an Empty Street (Recommended listening: Homesick, Misread, Cayman Islands, Know-How)
   
2. The Magic Numbers  – The Magic Numbers (Recommended listening: Love Me Like You, I See You, You See Me)
   
3. Belle and Sebastian  – Dear Catastrophe Waitress (Recommended listening: Dear Catastrophe Waitress, Piazza, New York Catcher)
4. Depeche Mode – Playing the Angel (Recommended listening: John the Revelator, Precious)
   
5. The Killers – Hot Fuss (Recommended listening: Smile Like You Mean It, Somebody Told Me, All These Things That I’ve Done)
6. Train – For Me, It’s You (Recommended listening: None yet as I haven’t really listen to it yet)

To that particular someone:

• Please
• Give
• Me
• A
• Chance
  

I guess everything is happening for a reason. The doctor informed that mom’s condition is going downhill, and there’s nothing they can  do to improve her health, apart from general monitoring round the clock. It’s been a while since I gather up all my strength to endure such distressing emotions and avoid this lamentable situation from affecting my duties at work, and those around me. I just hope that things that are planned are going smoothly and as swift as possible.

Honestly, I feel so damn ashamed of my senior in-charge. Almost didn’t manage to get home just now, because there’s not enough manpower to come by the afternoon shift. He already canceled our agreement yesterday, and I had to stay back till 10 pm. I didn’t mind as long as I’m able to see mom today after work. Just now he couldn’t even practice flexibility, to take into consideration of his men’s own personal matters. Thank god my colleagues were there for me, they made the call for me to proceed back, NOT the in-charge. I rather not go any further here, because I’m not in the liberty to do so, even if it’s my own blog. Let’s just take this as my personal rant.
