NDP CCR1

My 2nd entry on NDP 2010 is out πŸ™‚

http://www.ndp.org.sg/ndpeeps/?p=164

continuing here on what I didnt manage to cover over there

When I saw everything on arrival, I was more interested in taking photos of the uniform group children. *Probably too much of a teacher le ba. πŸ˜€

But ya, that was the immediate thought, like you know… When I wanna shoot, theres always a sketch in mind, like wat angle, what I wanna see in my photo, those kind of thing….

anyway, πŸ™‚ let you see some of whats on my mind:

Standby for Water Parade!!! πŸ˜€

I like this:

As always, it never have to be the subject looking at the photographer in-order for the photo to be looking good. *k, in this case looking at me la. πŸ˜€

Happen to see this on the polo t of a photographer. πŸ˜€ *Flash us your smile. πŸ˜€

I tell you the weather was so hot… that even the canteen stall holders (whos indoor) are eating ice cream…

πŸ˜€

we had catered food πŸ™‚ Heres my boss (of the many many boss-es I have) Tommy showing off the catered food πŸ˜€

πŸ™‚ The man behind the microphone during the rehearsal:

People camera shy la huh πŸ˜€
Was there just listening to him evaluating the rehearsals…
“Sector YYY pls follow timing after … ” on and on and on just pointing out the details. (not in the room as in the photo, but on the actual ground through the sound system)
Wah, like the person with the bird eye view lo.
Dunno how to tell you, but its really tremendous.

Unless one have the experience, unless one know exactly what one is doing, I dont think one will be able to speak off and correct items at such precision lo…

*SaLute!


The Parade Commander. You’ll be hearing his voice on the TV on the actual day.
He is so FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got presence one oki, Even Ms Ng also dont dare to lean too close…
And I was on 3inch stiletto, so its not fair to compare height here~

kk, maintain maintain πŸ˜€

Found out that there are actually students from polys who would come down and do video productions as FYP. Then on National day itself, while the marching is going on, and you see those video on the big screen hanging behind, those are their projects. *interesting…

The hunk of PUB (so they say):

The landscape through my sunglasses:

The two gif that didnt come out right on the site:

oki, check out more over at the NDP site

What you see here is only part of it, Be Nice~ http://www.ndp.org.sg/ndpeeps/?p=164

Do leave comments, tell me what you wanna hear from the participants, what would you like me to ask them. πŸ™‚

Probably for security reasons, we (the bloggers) were brought around to be introduced. The whole time, I hear all the different different ranks.
At the back of my mind, a bell keeps ringing.

All the different ranks, it didn’t matter.
In as much as due honour is deserved, we all know.
Everyone has a role to play.
It’s not about one man, it’s not abt one woman.
It’s about the team, everyone.

Earth Hour 2010

In-case you didnt know, Earth Hour 2010 was on 27th March, 8:30pm. Everywhere around the world, according to their local time, people switch off the lights for 1 hour. πŸ™‚

Toggle on over to Boston.com ‘s Big Picture to see these fascinating switch off the lights. Click on the photos to see the fade out, switch off lights effects. πŸ™‚

Do you know…

1 recycled plastic bottle saves enough energy to light a 60W bulb for 6 hours

And a 22-watt fluorescent light bulb emits the same brightness as a 100-watt incandescent light bulb.
Source: http://www.asiaone.com/News/Education/Story/A1Story20090428-137902.html

In the 1870’s, Thomas Edison used carbonized bamboo fibre as filament in the development of the light bulb. The carbonized filament he used then still works and is on display at the Smithosionan in Washington D.C.

The brain operates on the same amount of power as 10-watt light bulb. The cartoon image of a light bulb over your head when a great thought occurs isn’t too far off the mark. Your brain generates as much energy as a small light bulb even when you’re sleeping.

Combining metal with acid (like lemon juice) causes a chemical reaction that creates positive and negative particles around each piece of metal. The negative particles will move through the wires from one piece of metal to the other, which causes an electric current. If the reaction is strong enough, it can even power a light bulb!

IC#7 City

Took this while I was out this morning in town for my dental appointment.
I caption it as “Good Morning Singapore” when I posted it up.
But turned it around here as that. πŸ™‚
I thought it worked really well.

IC#1 Heb13:2

Took the photo of the wings while I was backstage doing choir stuff. I’m happy with what I see.

Its actually one of the drama crew with her angel wings. Got reminded of the verse.

Heb 13:2
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

Ordinary as we are, we can be an angel in other people’s life, and other people (even strangers) could just be an angel in our life as well.

This would be my 1st entry into the Collection of Inspiration
