I’ve finally gotten myself a dslr. =D the price has always put me off and i wasn’t really sure if i can commit to the hobby when i was younger.
i didn’t get the camera with any kit lens. i knew the lens will definitely not satisfy me in the long run, so i settled for a third-party lens, tamron 17-50mm f2.8. i was skeptical at first, but after a few days of using the camera and the lens, i’m glad i made the right choice.
mc love taking pretty landscapes whenever she goes on a trip. now with a pretty decent camera she’ll be able to capture more beautiful shots! (provided she learns how to use the camera properly) and of course, i can finally try to shoot pretty stuffs whenever i go for a holiday. between now and honeymoon (though still not planned yet) i just hope i can learn more photography knowledge as i foray into this familiar-and-yet-unknown territory.

The company organised some trip to bintan. we stayed at nirwana gardens, bintan resorts. its one of our clients’ resorts. or should i say ex-client. heh.
to be frank, whoever organised this trip didn’t do a good job. granted we are all busy at work, but certain communications could have been played out smoothly. we didn’t really know what activities to be expected (whether free n easy or company activities) until we reached there. bleah..
also, there wasn’t a proper notice on what time the event will be over. to make things worst, we were given an option to stay overnight. how’s that worst? well, we have over 20 people in the company and it’s a four bedroom villa. we have more girls than guys and they’re occupying the bedrooms. the guys will just have to make do with living room sofas. definitely not my idea of comfortable bedding after a long day.
as some of us couldn’t stay too late, we opted to go home earlier. surprise surprise, we were not allowed. the ferry tickets were already booked (i mean really? without our consent? gee thanks boss.) after a few hustle and tussle, the management finally relented and we could go home earlier! yay!
for me, i don’t really mind staying over, but the way communications were made, it made the whole thing felt insincere and too last-minute. i’m only glad that i get to test out my new dslr that i bought yesterday. (more on this in next update!)
anyway, it’s time to sleep. we’re going in jb for our viewing of the bridal photos! =)
Learn MoreYep, yesterday marked the start of a two-day bridal photoshoot in jb. on the first day, in their indoor studio we had quite an experience and it was totally fun! photographer was witty and the assistant is ever a cool introvert.
for the outdoor, we went to desaru and a couple of spots nearby. think by the beach, in the middle of a lalang field, on the jetty, next to pond kind of scenes. the photographer was kind enough to let us change into our casual wear and continue shooting. of course they would be more than happy to snap more shots. they just can’t wait for us to end up with choosing more shots at the end of the day. heh
albeit tiring from trying out multiple poses, moving around in a wedding dress/coat and maintaining smiles, hopefully the results are rewarding! did i mention the weather in desaru was fantastic? i heard from my parents that in jb town, it was raining heavily. thank God for the fine weather. in this instance i don’t really mind the scorching sun.
Learn Moreman.. did the viruses evolved or something?
i hate it when i’m about to recover and half of the office are orchestrating with their variations of cough. @_@ the air in the office is definitely full of germs. if only there’s something like a pair of glasses that can let you see the germs in the air (think germ-o-vision!).
sigh since returning from phuket, i have already visited the doc 3 freaking times! =\
Learn Morethe ruling party has been returned to the parliament!
let’s see what’s gonna happen in the cabinet now that several ministers has lost their job and with 6 oppositions that has a voice in parliament.
btw, did anyone notice the officer who announced all the results? he’s damn steady can! same tone throughout the entire night! i can hear the words repeating in my head, “… Pursuant to Section 49, Sub Section 70, Paragraph A of the Parliamentary Act, I hereby declare… ” – it’s almost like a chant.
Learn More“it’s none of my business”, said a s’pore citizen to me. yup, i’m a pr here, but does that mean i can’t find out more about what’s happening in the general elections? even more so when immature candidates who might have the potential to draw a high salary when they are being elected into the parliament. i gotta know where my money paid in taxes has gone to, no?
anyway, it’s polling day. my mom came out to fulfill her rights to vote as a citizen. sent her to the polling station just several blocks away. it’s a simple affair, with only 1 police officer guarding the entrance/exit. voting box is made of out of cardboard compared to steel boxes in m’sia. there wasn’t much people when we got there but probably because there’s plenty of polling stations all around.
let’s see how’s the results go tonight. good luck!
