Had this twitter friend @juzferyou who took the photo below:

and can u imagine it was in a setting like this:

apparently, he is a photographer~ Click to see his tumblr and his homesite

anyway, that photo of his reminds me of Wall.E and it got stuck in my mind.

Happen to be in school today and walked past these!

Like so similar, such coincidence right!
Of course me being me It would be non-stop shooting action!

I lined them up,
I set them in positions with story line,
etc etc

all taken with my Dayrius!
But guess what… Dayrius is dead now…
First the screen fades out to really low light,
then the batt went flat, and after charging for 1 hour, nothing comes on.

Gonna go down to Comms Centre again tomorrow.
Anyway,
So thankful that I tweet out this last one to cheer a friend up.

Its so cute right!!!!!

😀
Probably might gather them and shoot again if I have the time ba. 😀

🙂 Went out to do a Runwayshoot. Just had to experience it since it was dangling in my face and I’ve got invitation. 😀

Its was an interesting experience i would say. like @GenkiGenki said, “dont worry about the technical stuff, just enjoy urself.

and @inrsoul said abt keeping the other eye open, that was very valuable, cos while I was trying to shoot this model, another model marched right out. WOH!
My head was swinging left and right the whole time (almost) 😀

Was just looking at some other photographer’s album… -_-”
I am so entry level. -_-; *dig a hole and hide

but nvm, I had an interesting time and everyone starts somewhere. 🙂
so heres to share.

Above: I love this shot, 😀 Its called “I Dont Wanna Go To School!” *PoUt!
*Pls pardon the off-focus 😀

Above: This, I called it “In Your Face” *not the model, but the light.

Above: So child-like yet so sexy 🙂

“Hi There~”

They say models should look good at all angles. Heres the sides. You decide. 🙂

Dresscode: Urban Chic.
*not bad…

Met Dale and City News Photographer Peter.

Our very hardworking host Wendy

The day started with the glaring skies

Thats the time when it hit the 2nd or 3rd round of the show.

They were singing “Lady GaGa – Poker Face” and the group of audience (below) echoed back!

Above: I wanted to do invert selection on the photo above, monochrome everything else, leaving the model’s color on. But well… aint got no Photoshop software…

🙂

I had fun

went for a tweetup today under the twitvite #mundanelunch at Kichn

It was absolutely stunning! Loved the food and the company~

And it is very different when you have menus like that:

It was all that classic look,
dont expect photos of food like the norm in restaurant.

They give you a list of base (Spag, home-cook,fusilli), main (chicken, fish, seafood, etc) and sauce (cream, tomato, laksa etc) and You call the shots!

*toggle over to their site to see full menu~

🙂 so trying our luck we rolled the dice~

Huge Chunk of Chicken Chop~

Nicely Done Fried Dory Fish

Grilled Dory fish! *HealThy!

HunGryLiOuS Beef patty

AND THIS IS THE BOMB!

Chili Crab Sauce on Home-cooked noodles + Chicken Roll With Ham and Cheese!

@alkanphel said the tomato sauce tasted different~
I said the cream sauce was good! 🙂

ya, they use cardboard boxes! *nice touch~

and the drinks was fun~ 😀

Can mix them triple kind! 😀

@mediumshawn had this Milo with Peach 😀

It was HMM…. 😀 *noticed the raised eyebrow 😀

@mggugu had this Strawberry with Redbull, Oh You can imagine 😀

Some foreigns with their drink. Real Zen!

Loves!

went to watch my 1st ever 3D show today with a really blonde blonde. 😀

Was walking towards the cinema looking for a familiar face, turn here turn there couldnt find, then suddenly noticed this blonde head rushing forward to watch the trailers screen. 😀 that got to be him! and thats the absolute chance to take a photo of him w/o him noticing. 😀

He’s not dumb really, just happen to have the tweet handle @DUMBellz 😀

Watched Alice in Wonderland.
Think this is a movie that really needs to be watched in 3D.

Really like the believed-in-the-impossible mindset of the show.
“Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

Impossible 1: There is a drink that can make me shrink.
Impossible 2: There is a cake that can make me grow.
Impossible 3: Animals can talk.
Impossible 4: There is a cat that can disappear.
Impossible 5: There is a place called Wonderland.
Impossible 6: I can slay the jabberwocky.
special thanks goes to @vickilew n @juzferyou for helping me trace these 6 impossibles.

and I absolutely adore the makeup on the Mad-Hatter aka Johnny Depp
There’s so much details to it! *I’ll be very surprise if you hadnt seen the poster around 😀

Heres some interesting facts of the show

# DRINK ME — The potion Alice drinks to shrink is called Pishsolver. The cake she eats to grow is called Upelkuchen.

# SWEET AND SOUR — Actress Anne Hathaway, who portrays the White Queen in “ALICE IN WONDERLAND,” decided that her representation of the character wouldn’t be completely vanilla. The White Queen comes from the same gene pool as the evil Red Queen, after all, so Hathaway envisioned a “punk rock vegan pacifist” and was inspired by Blondie, Greta Garbo, Dan Flavin and Norma Desmond. – Esp for u @vickilew

# ON WITH HIS HEAD — Crispin Glover portrays Stayne, the Knave of Hearts, in the film, but only his head appears on screen. The body of the character, who’s seven-and-a-half feet tall, is computer generated. On set, Glover wore a green suit and a pair of stilts to make him taller. His face was fully made up for the role (complete with an eye patch and scar). For the final film, Stayne’s entire costume, body and even his cape are CGI. Only his face is real.

# EYES HAVE IT — The Mad Hatter’s eyes were slightly enlarged making them between 10 and 15 percent bigger than Johnny Depp’s own.

# BIG HEAD — A special 4K hi-def camera called a Dulsa with 4,000 lines of resolution was used to shoot Helena Bonham Carter’s Red Queen to enable her head to be blown up to twice its size in post-production without losing any image quality.

# THE REAL STUFF — Very few real sets were built for Wonderland. In fact, only three versions of the Round Hall (where Alice ends up after falling down the rabbit hole) and the Red Queen’s dungeon were practical sets. The rest were created digitally.

I might have spoil the fun for you, but do head down to watch AIW in 3D~

Went out to watch KUMAR: Stripped Bare & Standing Up

It was good. Really like how he cracked up with his “politically correct” jokes.
I wonder hows it like when he sits down with his creative director to plan out his program.

Probably its just a conversation between his left brain and the right brain.

Tell me, who can think of jokes using national songs, national mottos…

Like
“STAND UP for Singapore…”
“COME Together”
“Together we STAND”

and then give our honorable council member nicknames?
like
“Sian ar” (think son of that rumored-to-have-heart-attack guy)
“Nuts ar”

not enough? oki,
Lets talk about IR ... Ever wonder why the two merlion (one near the fullerton n the other at Sentosa) are positioned that way?

Or maybe SG River and Marina Barrage … how the non-routine water use to be able to flow out to greater oceans and now less easily. 😀

And Just why is it that the blue beam in Sentosa’s Merlion’s eyes are longer than the red or the purple? 😀
According to the show…

Blue Beams = Blue Color = Color of $50 note
Red Beams = Red Color = Color of $10 note
Purple Beams = Purple Color = Color of $2 note

so which one do they want more?
Blue Beam = CHUUUuuUUUuUUUUUuUUUUUUUUu
Red Beam = CHuuuuUUuUUUuuuu
Purple Beam = Chuu.

😀 owned…
totally.

and he shared that him and the merlion are like 2 treasures, diff is, merlion is top lion bottom mermaid, his is top mermaid, bottom lion! 😀 (meaning very high libido, very good guns)

n he sang about hows it like to be, become a girl using Little Mermaid’s – Part of That World.
*not gonna go into that, u have to watch the show! 😀

Of course, he poked the race part too…
the whole Thaipusam thing. Carrying of the kavadi…
put down must put parking coupon, then cannot take normal cab. then must beware of the foreign workers, 😀
how theres no signboard in airport in tamil language
oki oki, it can go on. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE THERE! 😀

How all races have 2 days of holiday, even govt have National Day and May Day but not the Indians. “Vesak Day is not counted!”

😀 oh no! talking abt it cracks me up.

He shared about his family life as well, the coping with, the transition and even now the dependence upon. 🙂

I really admire how he is able to compartmentalize his emotions and just live it out on stage. Its really human psychology at its best.

He closed off with “Always look on the bright side of life”
He shared wise words about his life, and the way he is. 🙂
I cant and I dont know how to re-present it to you. But look at this video from youtube. 🙂 It will bring a spark to you.
Please stay through the opening Indian dance (1min) part. 🙂
