You may have noticed the photos gets less planned ie. fewer experimentation with macros, exposure, lighting etc. A lot of times now, I just take without looking closely and then I sort out the ones which I think are passable.
So this pretty much concludes my summer. Almost six weeks in a foreign country, a fantastic [...]

Chamonix
Quick post ’cause I have to leave in 20 min.
Last weekend, I went to Chamonix, a town/city in the middle of the Alps. It’s ~1km above sea level and the view is amazing. Went up to one of the peaks which has an elevation of more than 3000m and just kept taking photos.
Also went paragliding, [...]

In Macs
My McChicken tastes exactly the same. The things I do for internet access. Dinner party in less than an hour and I spend S$12.30 on a meal here. Won’t have time to upload photos I think, not if I want to finish all my goals for the half hour I have left.
I’m staying outside of [...]

Summer 2008 - Paris Pre-Immersion
Paris was everything I expected and more. Old buildings subtly calling for attention with it’s architecture and infused with a history you can only guess at. The city is a blend of old and new that can never be experienced in Singapore, with it’s clean roads and everything sanitised. The wide bridges across the Seine [...]

Summer 2008 - Getting There
The plane ride, at least the first long haul one, was a little scary, I sat next to this guy who kept drinking and asking for more vodka, throwing a little fuss at the flight crew in the process. He was perfectly respectful to me, but it was nice that the crew seemed concerned for [...]

Even FACEBOOK is in collusion with the school
Boggle (I refuse to use the name it goes by now) doesn’t load properly *scowls*. How am I going to procrastinate like that?
3 more papers.
And then, 3 more weeks.
I need to do a lot of packing in the meantime. Sigh.

Musical Heaven
A feast. For the ears, the senses, and the soul.
Sounds, piercing, triggering visceral responses.
Suspension of belief.
Here in the now.
Playing on loop in my head.
Remnants of songs echoing, reverberating.
Recalling sensory heaven.
Feeling alive.
Giving a whole knew meaning to music.

Nina Persson - Black Winged Bird
Night can’t come quick enough
My faults shine in the sun
A train bridge of spies
watches all the cars collide
I roll my green sleeves over ruby
I don’t blame you for doing it to me
Real girls don’t take aim
like kings do these days
I made my mind up to be a black-winged bird
Never turn [...]

Pagan Festivals
It’s that time of the year again, when everyone wishes everyone else goodwill in the spirit of a tradition only recently entrenched (by that I mean the last couple of decades at the most) in our so very asian culture juxtaposed with western pagan celebrations brought by globalization and consumerism.
For what is christmas, for most [...]
