Xiao Qi just left for Taiwan and I went to the airport to send her away. She likes traveling. I like the feeling of it too. However, we like it for different reasons. While she likes the feeling of near absolute freedom embedded in staying in a place you are not familiar with, I simply enjoy the sweet sorrow of being absolutely alone. I mean, it is not necessary lonely. The same feeling of loneliness can be derived despite having more than one person travelling with me. It is the feeling of lying on a strange unfamiliar bed looking up at a strange unfamiliar ceiling and telling myself: it is another strange looking ceiling.

Ha... I think I kinda hijacked her feelings of going overseas and added in a little feelings of my own to satisfy myself. What selfishness... Anyway, seldom been to Terminal 2 so I took some pictures while at there.






There is nothing I fear now...







Except my own ego.

To myself. Ha! Anyway, some recent pictures. Oh and golf... Not exactly a tiring sport, yes. With the right posture, effort used is rather minimal. However, blisters seem to be a much more severe and painful problem... Guess I shall deal with that later.

Prefer the last one I take. This is an experiment on recording texture. Should probably isolate the object.

I like this one a lot better than the last one though.














Suddenly remembered this song, one of my favorite and it had heavy influence on my character and life. A fantastic show and a fantastic song. 我欲成仙,


Not sure how is this whole thing actually... Anyway, it is temporarily finished. I'll probably give it a little improvement tomorrow and then start working on idea 2. Honestly though, this iss really quite far from my original idea. It was supposed to be "Dancing On Color" but now all that left is dancing on black and white. Well, black and white turned out better than color actually. Color is too... distracting. Hahahahahaha! Anyway, it still needs a title and that can only be decided by its future owner, eh?

Fatboy's Burger Bar. Since it's a bar, I count my experience incomplete since I didn't have anything remotely related to liquor. However, I got to admit that its custom burger menu is interesting. Nobody in their right mind (except me, though you can argue that I rarely am in my right mind) would have ordered lamp patty, grilled pineapple and mango chili sauce. And somehow, everything does go together. Other than the creativity, everything else is just above average for an alright cost of about S$20 each. Ambiance rather than food is the biggest selling point here. Click to enlarge for all of them.

Also, went to Chomp Chomp with the guardroom people. Since I arrived early, I went around taking pictures. And of course, eating at Chomp Chomp means I need a picture of the place. And that's when everything got... interesting. As I was trying to look for a good angle (all I brought was a 100mm and 50mm, since 50mm can't focus to infinity, I went for the 100mm stead and it can't envelope the whole place, of course it can't!), an old lady came up to me. You know, the type that look like the entire world owes her something. More of then than not, I meet old ladies who are nice and kind and wise, she is definitely, and I mean definitely not those types that I use to meet. From the very start, she throw at me some random law that taking picture of people's face is illegal... Wait a minute! I was taking a picture of someone's face?! I thought I was taking picture of buildings?! Alright, I explained calmly. Then she started going all "it's up to you". As fast as she appeared, she disappeared. What a strange and irritable old lady... Until today, I am baffled by the reason she came up to me. Anyway, here are the pictures.

And yes, the picture she tried so hard to stop me from taking didn't even get chosen by me in the end...

Got a bit intrigued by these signs for a while. So many of them in just one place.

I like the texture of the wooden boards.

Drain grating. Look nice right?


A very intriguing plant I saw.


Mad texture.

More abstract stuff.

Now, Chomp Chomp!

We shall drink to the end of the world!



Menses paper...

A family of shellfish destroyed.








A curious investigation into some post editing effects. Not particularly great but seem alright.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Alright, after that, I decided to drive them back for a bit. Then I got careless and nearly turned into oncoming traffic... It was really scary and I don't wish to go into the details here. I just want to remind myself that I need to be much more careful while driving from now on.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Alright, for the blog I'm creating. I finally made a little progress. Here's the title bar. The rest is still blank and I'm trying some ideas. Overall, I combined themes like ballet and watercolor. I'm preparing to add in more things related to Chinese now. Anyway, I'll continue working on it.


Did lots of photo processing tonight... Please look forward to the content tomorrow though!

And probably more stuff that I will remember by tomorrow

Good night. Or... good morning!

(Was trying to talk like a YouTube caster with a non-existent audience. Quite fun. Hahahahahaha!)
