Short-Lived~
It has been 6 weeks since I last went out to shoot proper! Coming to think about it, I love shooting sunsets actually. Although short-lived, sunsets are beautiful sights that sometime make you lament that time flies. Just like how school time flies. Well, a few more weeks to exam and a activity-packed December! Hope to get nicer photos!
Done in 10 minutes in Adobe Lightroom (Pardon the quick edit)

Well, it's actually one of the compounds i synthesized in lab.. Most of them are white or dirty white so this yellow fellow is quite eye catching~ Btw, there is NO sulphur content in this compound... Just happen that the yellow colours resembles sulphur so thot of this random lame title=P
Anw, sch is busy for uni student.. No time to get used to my new lightroom software.. Seems like photos need to wait.. Haiz

Answering Your Own Questions...
This post is less about photography unlike the previous ones but I just wanna talk about some things in life. Let me tell you a short story...
About a week back, I went to meet my student mentor for a research module I was taking this sem. At some time, he asked me if I have been reading research papers and I said yes, reading the ones the prof gave us. He suddenly said something that struck me. "Your prof got those research papers to answer his own doubts, his own questions. You have to answer your own questions."
It applies to life in general, I believe. In life, everyone has their own questions and doubts at some point in time. Asking people for advice may be useful but at the end of the day, their answers may not be your answers. And in life, we tend to be bothered about things that truly dun bother us. You dun have to answer other people's questions. Even if you want to, answer your own ones first~
So.. Seek out what are the real questions in life you have and what are the real answers you are looking for...

On Photography and Life... 
Well, I guess this photo came a bit too late as the Getai period is over, getting replaced by mooncakes~ Just wanna share this photo that reminded me of my childhood. Most of my frens would know that I love to eat and this habit started since young. I still remembered that I always pestered my mum to buy me something to eat when she dragged me along to watch getai. And i will always look out for icecream if not muah-chee stalls. Those were the good old carefree days...
Photography, especially photojournalism, is about potraying life, bringing out the best/worse in human life. Adding your own experiences into a photo gives it more story and meaning i guess. Create your own images, images that may mean a bit more to you and perhaps others who share the same experiences.
Sidenote: I am switching from DPP(Canon's raw file editor) to Adobe Camera Raw! Still gettiing used to it and will be doing the mayday photos using it so wait a while more:P

Hot off the Track!
Driver: Lewis Hamilton, McLaren Team
Well... From the picture, you can most probably guess three things~
One: I am at the F1 track!
Two: I din pay for tickets!
Three: That's not my camera! (But i took the shots of course~)
We were shooting behind some bushes and this results in the black patches in the photos. However, they do provide a very nice framing backgound that we made use of~ I love this shot above~ Seldom do u see two cars so near each other on a practice day (Fri). Well, you should be able to see more of such scenes tonight or tmr~ SO grab your cameras and shoot F1 if ya free~
Actually, we initially are not very geared towards shooting F1 cuz it was simply too fenced up this year. We actually went wondering around at suntec and millinea walk. Here's the proof~! Some "i think very expensive" specs at millinea walk:)

MayDay Concert (I)
This year's MayDay concert passed about three weeks ago but thinking back still makes me feel "high" sometimes.. It was a brilliant concert, filled with sincerity, lots of interaction and special effects~
It's both a nice experience as a photographer and as an audience~ I will give a more detailed breakdown over the next few days~ School is tiring even during recess week~
Photo notes: The green laser is reflected onto the guitar and as the guitarist moves and strum his guitar, the laser gets reflected all over the place~! It even blind himself some times=P

I love Mayday! Teaser!
Hey all! I shot another concert again and I have to say this is one of the best I attended so far. The crowd is "high" and the performance is superb~
Due to press restrictions, I shall hold the better photos till wednesday when the article is published~ Meanwhile, stay tuned to this blog.. Especially if you love mayday!

Korean Food III: Snacks
2009 Holiday Special Food Part 7
After looking at tibbits and groceries which may be boring to some, we move onto something that looks more appealing: snacks! We have various small side dishes above that Koreans usually serve in their meals~ In fact, Koreans are a generous bunch of people and this can be seen from the fact that in most korean restaurant, these side dishes are given on a free flow basis~ So it's really a blessing for those who love these small dishes such as kimchi etc~
Korean pancake are among another favourite among Singaporeans~ And the pancake at this shop (Full House) is very nice. They serve seafood pancake and the ingredients simply compliment with the pancake itself in terms of tase and texture~ Go buy it~
Korean Sushi are very popular as well~! One interesting fact abt them is that they are not served cold~ Unlike normal japanese sushi which must be refrigerated, Korean counterparts are being made warm and eaten warm! So when you get to eat Korean sushi next time, dun think it is unfresh because it is warm!
Also, rice and grains are often use by Koreans to make snacks. And they actually have a long history of making food from rice and other grains. Many grains are being in use (as you can see above) as well as beans.
The taste of these rice-made snacks are rather unique especially this one above.It consist of red bean and pumpkim mixed with rice to give an unique taste and texture.However, ou do get full quite easily as these things are really filling~ And they are healthy too!
Lastly, we can see these lovely rice cake being arranged in such a nice fashion. The history of making rice cake is so long in Korea that they are being used in ceremonies such as weddings! Korean culture is amazing...

Korean Food II: Groceries
2009 Holiday Special Food Part 6
As I mentioned in yesterday, we are looking at quite a few aspects of korean food, including the raw ingredients themselves! Today, we look at some groceries unique to Korea such as the Korean instant noodles above. I believe more and more people are learning how to cook korean food such as bibimbap and Korean groceries are indeed popular among Singaporeans.
Similar to tibbits, Korean icecreams have very cute and colourful packaging to attract the youths as well. And I have to say that they are yummy too!
Korean cosmetics are also getting more and more popular. Perhaps people think that if they use Korean products, they will get as pretty as the Korean actresses they see in their favourite Korean drama?
Lastly, you may want to guess what is this? ;)
