abit of shameless advertising first:
"My friends are going to Cambodia for some suicide mission.
they only have a single ticket there.
Buy their t shirts so they can come back home."
so please help usss!! each shirt is going for $12 each! :D
go to: http://bit.ly/pdbtshirts to order!
($$ is really going to the cost of building the house
and probably the manufacturing of the soap.
excess should be going to the orphanage)
AND SAY HELLO TO MY NEW BABY!!
it isnt the slimmest or lightest digital cam,
and on the surface, it is really modest:
plain black body, 10megapixels,
and no fanciful hi-tech functions like a touch-screen or a smile detector etc
but the pictures that it can take are so amazingly impressive,
and can even bokeh like its an dslr...
in fact its rly like a compact version of a dslr!
sigh, seriously a miracle-machine! ♥♥♥
i know it seems abit random la this sudden purchase hurhur,
but its actually a gift from the 'rents. for the achievement and also
as an apology cause they couldnt make it just now...
but the 'trigger factor' was cause my mom very absent-mindedly took her dslr
(and my aunt took my sis's cam to the shanghaiexpo),
which left us camera-less for today.
plus, with how the prospect of studying overseas is becoming
more and more plausible by the day,
i'll need to 'modernise' myself with more current gadgets..
esp since my 8yearold lao pokpok camera cant function properly.
:( nevertheless was just really disappointed cause i know im not actually
v capable of academic achievements and
this may very well be the one and only time i'll ever receive something like that
and may hence be the one and only opportunity where they can actually see me
as not being entirely hopeless... as being capable of going
somewhere academically without needing to be competent
in mathematics and the other sciences.
so yes. decided on a camera within 12hrs
(you know what i always say - we were meant to be!!)
and muchmuchmuch thanks to ed for helping me
to get my s90 at such a good price and for all the advice! <
i realised that sometimes, it is not doing too much that wears you out
its the monotony of the activity that is exhausting...
just like how you can be easily energized by doing something fulfilling.
... or maybe all it takes is just a moment, which sets all your senses tingling,
and that sends rapid waves of pleasure, excitement and above all, security,
down your insides,
to really shake you up
and leave you breathless
and frazzled...
sigh, and im so in love with kundera and his books right now.
the way he sees the world, and the way he can rationalise everything
such that even the convention can become unconventional
and the eccentric becomes something that can be reasoned and understood. .
for me, that is one of the greatest comfort that he provides-
i like how he resolves and rationalises for me so many feelings and urges that
i dont know how to reason for myself, and in other words,
show me that i too, can be understood.
man, if there's anyone i'd like to listen/spend a day with, it is this guy.
though if there's something i dont like about his stories,
it is the ever pervasive idea of infidelity.
i mean, ok, maybe its just a fact that i like to ignore and pretend it isnt there
but infidelity and the whole idea of it is so terribly tiring.
on one hand, you have passion.
but because everything human is mortal and fleeting,
passion is transient and cannot last.
and on the other, you have a kind of disturbing calm and quiet.
where love is neither present nor absent,
and where you can be at most "excellent roommates".
idk, the idea of both... its just really depressing.
/edit: and i realised that the only factor they have in common
is the the very possible infidelity that can be present in both
ok, suddenly have this craving for Hanoi spring rolls and fish sauce!!
so i think im going to sleep the hunger off.
BY THE WAY!! did you know that if you dont get >6hrs of sleep,
you'll have a shorter life span?
apparently so!
i dont know about you, but i feel like i need all the time in the world!
