"You broke my heart but never shattered it completely. And that is the cruelest thing to do to somebody. It broke it into one thousand parts. So that piece by piece it flaked off. Like bad paint off a humid Hong Kong wall. Carrying off fragments of the hopeful, optimistic me that you once knew and cared about."
It is in every human to yearn to be loved and taken care of, to have a place in society.
As much as I say I want to be single, even more I have the burning desire to find a great partner.
But for the time being, I'll let my dream of being a photojournalist occupy me, and let myself be busy-ed by meeting new people.

An expensive critique session.
I didnt know. Perhaps ppl didnt take me seriously. Perhaps ppl view me as immature.
Anyway the photojournalism course at Objectifs seemed like an expensive critique session. $360 to be critiqued by 2 photojournalist. And somehow I got the idea of not been treated seriously. I did learn something nonetheless, and that is to keep shooting.
Before that workshop I was feeling on top of the world. Now I feel inferior to everyone. z. This is bad.
Anyway I shall keep on shooting, recently got a lomo Fisheye camera. Dont be suprised if I shoved it in your face!
About valentine's day, I decided not to whine so much. Just let it be.

Probably you have heard about it. Perhaps you havnt heard about it.
It was truly a last minute thing, and I had planned it with my good sch classmate weichao.
This was the plan, to setup a small location on orchard road on valentines day, to shoot passing by couples and sit down or stand still on some decorations I have provided.
The intent was sort of like making time stand still for both of them, and in the busy orchard road, the crowd behind them is blurred by the fast movement, and at that moment, only the couple is fixed, and in that spilt second, time will stand still for them.
Anyway I forgotten much of wad I want to write. My sister was hogging the com.
It was great to have lots of friends to come and support and help out. I cldnt have made it without their help.
Anyway a post mortem of my project.
I spent over $200++
Some of the photos where blur.
I owe ivy and her cousins a treat
I owe them their pay!
I owe weichao some cash too
I owe webhosting money
I had a pay of $270 and allowance of $100 of 2 wks. I'm left with $20+. For 2 wks.
And btw I think I dont have enough money to print out 20 8R photos for my portfoilo submission.
Call this lousy planning.
And I wanted to capture the spirit of valentine's day, like why the day is special to you, how did you celebrated it.
I actually wanted my photos to be of inspiration to other couples who arnt doing too well in their romance. And hopefully they can rekindle their love for each other.
To me, it was a 3/10 for the event. And at the end of the day, people came in groups/pairs and left in groups and pairs. I, well, went alone home to think what went wrong.
Happy valentine's day.

Make or Break : Season end
ABout 50 views since last post. This shows how much people care for me yah. Ohhh~
Anyway in the ENGLISH premier LEAGUE, or known as EPL or otherwise known as england's top division soccer league or otherwise the show on TV ah peks and ah bengs crowd to watch in kopitiams or the soccer fanatics in pubs or the despo as Singapore Pools betting stations staring into the computer screen for aeons.
The thing I want to say is, in any season of soccer, there is the make or break period of time for any soccer team. In this short period of time, they play more matches then they usually do, and the fixtures are back to back, playing against other teams the day after.
It is now for me.
Tomorrow I am going to skip school to be an photographic assistant to a photographer for a corperate shoot. Those CEOs need their photos yah. It starts from 0800 ends at 1700.
At 2200 I'm going to catch Thaipusam preparations. Its an Indian festival, where the faithful pierce their bodies and in act of faith and carry the heavy props over a distance of 3clicks. Event starts from 0000 all the way to 2200 on Sat. WHOLE DAY OF SHOOTING!
Next week, I have 1 test, 2 projects due, 2 presentation, 1 interview,
NExt week end, finally will the course I have enrolled myself. Photojournalism workshop by Objectifs!!!!
And horray. 21st of march is my first exam paper. 4-5 (cant remember) paper due. Which means next wk is for studying.
Photographic competitions deadline.
Anti-Drug Photographic Competition - 17th Feb
“Tampines – My Home” - 19th Feb
Portfoilo Submission for SHOOTING HOME, Objectifs - 20th Feb
Singapore Youth Commonwealth Photo Competition - 5th March
Singapore Young Photographer Award (SYPA) - 15 June
With respect to poorer english, this is a maker or breaker, right here right now.
Its my turn to have some faith.
