A night out...
A night view of � CBD area
Well � photo seems alright only, pretty blur if i hafta say. Guess i hve 2 read more on � functions of my digi-cam, otherwise all my pictures wld turn out normal only. Give me some time & i'll try to figure out how 2 make my pictures a little more outstanding & special, tht is if i'm hardworking enough. In � meantime, you can view � photos i've taken yesterday as well as those taken on my birthday at � link beside, under � photos section. Anyway went out with � Chua Brudders yesterday 2 look for � elder's girlfriend Anniversary + X'mas gift. Shan't really mention wat he's planning to buy since, who knws, somebody who knws her might read my blog & tell her abt it. All i can say is tht he bought 1 of � 2 intended gifts, which i think it's pretty nice. As 4 � other, Zongyao & i told him 2 consider 1st since it wld be quite expensive if he were 2 add � prices of � 2 together. But it's very nice too, hehe. Seems like i can't get away frm getting presents, frm getting my frens' presents all � way 2 getting other's girlfriends presents. Actually it's ok larhz since i need 2 shop for my New Year's clothes soon, so can take a look around, see wat's nice.
Basically jus walked � entire Orchard in search of � presents wth them. Had dinner at Pasta Fresca, where i ordered a cream base pasta, which tasted quite alright. Headed down 2 Esplanade 2 take some photographs, afterwhich we headed home. Really hve 2 figure out how 2 take pictures wth bright backgrounds. It's like if i use flash, � bright background will turn out blurred. If i don't use flash, � background will turn out quite fine, but � person cldn't be seen at all. One reason cld be becauz of � poor lighting there, but i'm sure there's a way for my digi-cam 2 take photographs at such places. Hafta go figure it out. Hve been bringing my camera along wth me on weekends, wherever i go, 2 make full use of it. One disadvantage wld be tht i'll hafta bring a bag alg since my camera isn't tht slim as those compact ones. Nevertheless, i don't really mind at all, honestly speaking. Feels quite paiseh 2 take photos at times, esp photos of � food tht i'm eating. Am afraid tht othrs will see & tht � restaurant wldn't allow. Shall pick up courage 2 try another time.
Guard Duty on Fri was sucky since � Guard Commander was super naggy, lor-so, apple-polisher & timid aka "ham ji" (pronounced in Hokkien). I've never seen such a naggy Guard Com before, so much so tht he even bothers 2 tell us abt personal hygiene, sleeping wth our socks on provided tht our socks won't stink, etc. I mean i'm performing Guard Duty, all you need 2 tell me is � things related 2 � security of � camp instd of things like personal hygiene etc. I knw you are concerned but for God's sake we are all mature 2 think of such things ourselves right, at least most of us. In addition 2 tht, he's a person who sucks up 2 his superiors frm my point of view. It's like when he speaks 2 us, he acts as if he's � boss, ordering us 2 do tis & tht. But when he speaks 2 his superiors, he'll be like 2 timid mouse/ servant, nodding at watever his superiors says. Hate these type of people, who try 2 be so "wayang" in front of others.
Oh and he made us wake up at 0530 for nothing, actually more applicable for � rest. He made me do � clearing of rubbish & waiting at � gate for those who came early b4 � gate was opened, while � others woke up for practically nothing. I was being arrowed 2 to tis & tht for � entire night, cauz i'm a jus a bloody private. He was still saying � night b4 tht he'll prevent othrs frm bullying me (another long story which i shan't mention). Instd i was bullied by him. So bloody pissed off wth him. Jus praying tht i won't get such a Guard Com again.
After Guard Duty, had 2 rush 2 go for � family day event at some place called Farmart (pronounced as "farm-mart") @ Choa Chu Kang. It was practically a boring trip since it was drizzling through out & mayb cauz i was tired. But honestly speaking, didn't knw tht such a place exists. It has many stores selling different types of stuff. There's a pet shop wth those cute puppies tht i can't stop looking at, quite a few fish shops, shops selling plants, a shop selling honey related stuff wth a mini bee-farm behind, etc. Got 2 see an enormous bee-hive frm Thailand tht was under preservation (there weren't any bees in it, they jus wanted 2 show us how a bee-hive looks like & how big it can be). Too bad i didn't bring my digi-cam alg, otherwise wld hve been able 2 take pictures for you 2 see. Headed home straight after tht 2 take a rest b4 heading out 2 meet � Chua Brudders. Wowww, such a long entry, jus realised tht. Shall end here & update later tonight on some thoughts tht had yesterday. CiAoz!!!
