Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve
Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve... always wanted to go and finally got to visit it. It is extremely inaccessible, unless of course one drives. Seems like the increase in petrol prices is making me wana travel less by car these days; although i will only top-up $3 worth of petrol.
Back to the wetland, my main objective is obviously to test my new camera. The verdict: the pictures turned out gr8! Except when i view the pics i see some jaggedness. I really hope its the jpeg compression. Will check the compression of my camera later...

Kranji Farm
Boredom led us all the way to spore's countryside... boredom and the fact tat there was a free shuttle bus service. And as with all free things, they make you worked for it. Me and june were searching high and low for the pick-up point. There was a useless sign at the Boon Lay MRT station tat had an arrow pointing to nowhere. We actually gave up; went for coffee, walked around Jurong Point. Then we decided to take the free bus to IMM and once again, had no clue where the pick-up point was. That was when we saw the free bus to the farms.. the irony.
Pretty glad we went on this farm trip coz we got to visit the Sungei Buloh wetland Reserve. Really nice place. Simply lovely...

Hey june, meet aparup - primary schoolmates brought together by blogger. 16 years apart and none de wiser... kidding guys!!!
Wanted to get those handheld vacuum cleaner at COurts but the one they had on offer was no more.So i didnt get it. Then we went to King Albert Park's Mc Donalds for aparup to have his dinner. He signed up for this Rewards thingy and he got a free hamburger..

TIme to ditch hotmail & IE
Yups, its time to ditch that horrendous hotmail. They say they gona up the inbox to 250mb for people livin in the states! Nah, though the interface looks better than yahoo, ive found a new better email - Gmail. Ive always had an account but neva used it; found out they have free forwarding. Now, ive multiple Gmail accounts.. but i only need to check one!!! HOw cool is tat.. and did i mention the forwarding is FREE... plus 1Gig of space. Compare tat to hotmail 2Mb,tats like tons mo space. Eventually, they will probably up it to 250Mb for everyone. I aint gona wait.
There's more!!!... they got dis cool Gmail notifier tat lets me know if i got mail right on my browser. No irritatin pop-ups, or having to log on to MSN messenger.
And i cant believe people are using IE... oh please.. get FIrefox or Opera. They are free.. and very secure. They got skins, extensions, tab-browsing....
For heaven's sake people, lest u using a MAC... ditch microsoft stuffs if u can.. hehe...
[*} luv things tat are free: Gmail, Firefox, Opera

Sleepless in Spore
Two aimless guys with nowhere to go. Serious when u got no idea where to go;there really aint nowhere to go. Had a cool new camera and just no idea what to take...
"Labrador park?" ... nah too dark,too spooky
"Changi hospital?" ... ummzz too far, petrol aint cheap these days
Finally, after spending almost an hour playing with the camera at a carpark behind IKEA store,we set off to Sporttiswode Park... heck,no idea how to spell it. Pretty cool place with the old Peranakan-styled shophouses. Came acorss a lodge (super..supser-cool;envy, envy...) and a railway track which is really awesome to take pictures. Sat at this 24hrs coffeeshop drinking teh halia and figuring out the features of the my d70. At least we figured out most like buffering,getting rid of the flash,etc... just left to find out how depth of field works... must read de darn thick manual. Ahh... I just hate to read technical stuffs. On way home,stopped by my aunt's flower showcase at G@llery Hotel. Its good to see that she still is keeping the place updated. Considering to showcase some of photography works there as well... its just an idea... well, u gotta start somewhere

Xmas '04 -Saba Got Hitched !!!
Photos of saba's wedding that took place on Xmas of 2004. It was an intimate affair of close frens & families. Held at ghim moh which coincidentally was where my old flat used to be. Gosh,it brings back memories when i was there.The neighbourhood was in the midst of being upgraded. I remember vaguely the place. It must be like 10years..or even more. I cant really recall when i moved to my existing apartment. Not gona get all emotional and nostalgic....
Congrats to the lovely couple!!!
.... coffee bean(holland village) & tons of fun with haslinda's new camera

Of married man & being the other woman
I just got to get this off my chest.
I was on the phone yesterday over this topic, saying that i wont be a fren of someone who goes out with a married man.Im totally fine if they are just frens, which unfortunately has evolved into the gal calling the married guy her boyfriend. And she has the cheek to say the wife knows about it and accepts it. Sadly,this involves a young baby, not more than a year old. There the husband is going out with my "fren" on dates, movies, parks, god knows wat else... while the poor wife is at home looking after the baby.You just cant help tat the husband aka bastard (tat is wat i shall refer him as) is treating the wife as a freaking maid (Fren is in inverted commas coz i dun regret sluts,whores as frens... bitches are another breed altogether. i can be frens with bitches coz heck, im one!!! ) No good can come up of this bizzarre relationship. Bizzare coz found out from my fren tat the wife actually asked the hubby to spend time wif his galfren... ??!!!
I hope my fren .. i mean "fren" wakes up her freaking idea. She's an adult so she should know better.It takes two hands to clap. SO walk away from this ridiculous r/ship.. there's a baby involved for heaven's sake.
[*} no mentioning of any names coz dun wana disclose who dis person is.. well u know who u are, so does the wife... not the innocent baby tho

a glimpse of my room
A rare glimpse of my room.Well, aint really tat rare coz so many people have been in it ever since i redid it.. . how things look different when placed differently.
Anyways, the aim of the pictures were to test my new camera -d70. Heard so many problems encountered by people who got it. Tested it for backfocus problem,pictures coming out dull & dark from the camera. So far the pictures turned out bright enough for me. The focusing thing i aint tat sure as my room was kinda dark the last couple of days due to rain. At least now the sun is out.
Well, gonna play with the new camera some more. Getting a dry cabinet to protect it from dust & fungus later in the evening.
