I've been looking at the photos i have on fb, seems like i've been less and less motivated to whip out the camera in recent years.  maybe it's because i am jaded, or perhaps it's just pure laziness, but the new camera i bought a few months ago has been sitting comfortably in the drawer, not seeing the light of day.  i'm not even sure which drawer it's in, or whether it has already turned mouldy.  i know my boots have recently turned into a mould greenhouse...  i recall being trigger happy before, what has changed? i don't even like being photographed anymore, remember how i used to be a camera whore, gummy smile and all?  now it's mostly hao-e in pictures not just because i'm a better photographer, but also due to this reluctance i have to appear in photos.  i remember going through a phase of hating to be photographed when i was about 5 or 6 years old.  either i had my back facing the camera, or i was crying pathetically with mucus running down my nose, etc.  i absolutely detested taking pictures.  and then i went on a trip some crazy trigger happy cousins, who insisted on having solo photos for everyone at the same scene e.g. imagine - mountain in the background - if there were 5 people around, we would take 6 photos, 1 for the whole group, and 1 each for each person's personal photo album.  it took a crazy amount of time before we could move on, but the photos were really darn good.  i started to take photography more seriously and even joined a photography club in high school.  and then what happened?  i honestly am mystified myself.  

i must really put in an effort to enjoy photography again.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes, ...

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still, ...

it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh.
