Right, title suggests the fact that I should keep information to a state of minimum in this post. However, why should I? There is so much in my head right now that I wish it burst. No, I wish a larger head, a space head, a... wait for it... TIME HEAD (from the critical acclaimed UK TV series Doctor Who, quoted from Amy Pond over whether she is pregnant)!

I love information, I... wait for it... celebrate information. Information runs this world, runs this continent, runs this country, runs you, runs me. With it, we are able to... wait for it... excel. I don't think I'm a particularly organised person however, I must because... wait for it... I have a pretty tight schedule and frequent dates with... wait for it... the SAF. In the face of SAF, everything else must give way. Thus, planning is important (plus I don't wish to waste my friends' time). And other stuff must be carefully planned on my off-days. And here is my schedule of the month.

• Today, update GPS, golf lesson, car servicing.
• 9th, IT fare, buying a DX11 graphics card, 1TB+ hard drive for backup, 4 16GB CF cards and look out for  cheap SSD cards. Also need to ask Yang if she needs any computer equipment as a genuinely nice gesture that I believe any IT savvy man should do. Won't do that on others because of those who are close enough for me to care about (those who shall not be named in fear of world destruction), they are guys so asking them will be either taken as insult or they are outright coming along with me. Or maybe I'm just gender bias! Suck to be you, guys.
• 13th is a BBQ cohesion and of course, I AM THE PHOTOGRAPHER. Renting a lens? Probably not, too expensive and not necessary. My 100 probably takes care of things pretty nicely in close to mid quarters.
• After that, it is a long period of relatively "nothing"... Besides helping my father to do some construction work. Ha...
• Oh and the need to plan a Night Safari outing that I would love to go but slightly reluctant to plan.
• 23rd is Lei's music outing and again... Photography... Renting lens...
• 30th is Sandra's friend's event shoot, 1845 to 2230. Renting lens... Need to ask about rehearsal timing too...
• Oh and the comet of the century is coming at the end of this year. No photographic pressure!

今天，是一个让人不快的无聊上午，烦躁，气恼
今天，是一位同声共气的可爱女生，打趣，说笑
今天，是一名意见不同的多年老友，看法，主张
今天，是一群兴趣相投的生手外行，健身，打球
今天，是那无法预见的真正的幸福，微笑，回报

Challenge taken, challenge completed.


To be honest, didn't enjoy the process a whole lot. After all, it is painful. But I got to admit, it is good.

The second half of this post is written, then removed. Some things are not healthy to share, not for me, not for you. Discover it if you so wish, albeit a little slowly. Ha!

最近几天的我可以说是完全被酸痛缠绕着。妆艺大游行让我小腿和前臂力的肌肉完全报废。手持两公斤的摄影器材保持半蹲半坐的姿势果然不是一个正常（大概正常）的人该干的事儿。而昨天的引体向上和俯卧撑更是让我左肩疼痛不堪。不是酸痛，是一种折磨人的刺痛。哈……估计我抻断了不少肌肉纤维。希望肌肉真的像杂志上说的那样越伤越强吧。

身体上的不适也不知怎么的就影响到了我的思想。如果不在聊天或干一些有意义的事情，我就会陷入一种不可理喻的自嘲之中。没有原因、没有理由，不过是一种犹如鞭策般的自己讨厌自己。

我并不是一个会快乐的人，我不过是借来别人的心情挥霍而以。

After that, it was the high high high highlight of the day, Chingay 2013! After much data gathering, I figured out two groups that I need to look out for. First is a Tai Chi group. They are the first to act, wearing white shirt and red sneakers. My friend's parents are inside. And then, the Chinese dance group with XiaoQi performing. Actually seeing the people I'm looking for is unlikely, there are 3 sectors stretching 120m. Still, a mission is a mission. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED (and failed...)!

70-200 2.8L IS is a beast of a lens. Really heavy though...
