What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.

Since I've got the time to update a little here before my meeting starts I shall be good and share my experience about being a photographer for Christ Church Sec. (It's super distracting when I'm typing this whole chunk and Wess's here to distract.) So it's my first event that I attend to, being a photographer in my Brother Eng's secondary school for an event by the name of Honoring Parents' Day.

To be honest, I didn't know what to expect nor anything about the event. All I was told was to be a photographer for an event in that school, so without any information I thought it's some church event. (Don't go "huh", it's true!) Haha. Was pretty nervous about anything wrong that goes with the photos taken and such on my way there. Sooooooo, decided to get myself some warm up shots when I reach there. Felt so much better when I saw Brother Eng and Nicholas there. Lots of alien faces around, because I don't know most of them. Was quite surprise when I saw current students from CHR helping out with the event so I was like "hmmm, maybe they are from Light of Christ(LOC) too." 

So I began to wander off to do some normal warm up shots so as to get the settings of the camera right for the event. LOC's pastor, Brother Eng's badminton coach for secondary school + current pastor actually walked up to me and go like "Hey, thanks so much for your help." The convo goes on about the last time he saw me was when I'm freaking 14yo. So young back then. (You don't say) Haha. Ended the awkward convo to help Sharity out with the registration counter. So Nicolas(Organiser) came up with the polaroid with family thing upon registering for the event. Which means 

Tadaaaa. This baby of mine went for the event too, under great care of Joanne. So they got like 3 polaroid cams to help family/friends who attended the event to take photos. It's pretty not INNOVATIVE. Haha. BUT still great effort for making this. Oh anyway, this event is for parent's of current CHR students to have meet up with the staff. Most of the parent's invited was from the Parent's Support Group(PSG), group set up in 2002 by pastor, Revd John Sim. So that explains why they want the church to organise this event. Before the event started, went around to take a look at the whole event. I came across this situation whereby the guest came in but the students/helper had to go to the front of the hall(the stage area) to look at the table numbers before they can help in ushering their guests to the correct tables. Therefore I went up to Wei Qian to let him know about it. Room for improvement then.

Now let me share this, it's a must to share! Haha. So as I was saying, the people there look so alien to me right? I look alien to those friend's of Brother Eng who haven't met me before. At first, when I'm over at the Registration counter, some sec school kids from LOC(those polaroid-graphers) might be thinking who's this? When Brother Eng walked pass with half packet ice-lemon tea he hand it to me. They gave the weird look. Obviously, they are thinking whether I'm Brother Eng's girlfriend. No one introduced anything! Then he passed me another cup of idk what drink, they gave the same reaction too. Haha! The most epic part comes when pastor was about to end off the event, he asked families/friends to give each other a hug. Brother Eng and I did, we took a polaroid too! Then Jac(I don't remember who she was but apparently she knows me) kept laughing like mad beside me. She told us that Joanne and QiuTong was like "See la! I told you already! Confirm couple! They hugged!" Hahahaha! I find this hilarious. But not surprising, because everyone who met us don't find us similar in looks. So first thought won't be "Oh, siblings!" but "Oh, couple!" Hahaha.

When I was in my secondary school, I've always wanted to be a photographer. (Okay, bad point, whenever I spot something fun I change my ambition) This event gave me a chance to experience things that I always thought was easy. Snap snap snap and go. However, NO in this case. I don't know where did I get the idea of that but ever since the event, my mindset about being a photographer wasn't that easy as snap snap snap. As a photographer, you have to bring out the best of every picture taken. To be able to use photos taken and let the photos speak itself, rather than having captions all over the photos to show what the photo should portray. Furthermore, photographers got to have the ability to capture every scene and the meaning behind the scene because once it's gone it will not have a replay like videos. I realise that a photographer could see even the slightest thing in the event.(Like how I spotted the table number thing *proud*) Haha.

See! How to not get distracted! You tell me! Haha.

Half an hour more to my meeting. Pictures then~

Till then, folks.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.

Since I've got time to spare so I shall share a bit of my experience in Dialogue in the Dark. It's a great thing that Ngee Ann got this Dialogue in the Dark exhibition for not only Ngee Ann students but for Singaporeans too. Yes, which means public can actually visit this place, however, there's a fee to pay per entry. For me, I wouldn't mind paying to get such a great experience.

As I was saying, my virgin trip into complete darkness. Before getting in we got a cane each, a very useful stick that guides us along the dark. If you've heard Dialogue in the Dark before, they do have visual impaired guides in the exhibition guiding us through. In the outside world with lights, we will be able to help them. But in the dark, trust me, they are the boss! Haha.

Before the trip started, Irene and I were super afraid of the trip. It's not only darkness that cause the nervousness, but also expecting the unexpected feel. You don't know what actually falls in front of you. The first part will be passing by the Jungle. At the start of the trip, it's a Ngee Ann Jungle with birds chirping, fake grass carpet on the floor and little trees beside the pavement that we walk. Have yet to mention about my guide, he's Uncle William. (A little info about him) He's a pretty good guide because he's able to feel the tensed up feeling from all of us. So what he did was to make an introduction and went through our names with different humorous meanings over it. This really helps us to actually calm down and enjoy the rest of the trip. Not only that he showed his professionalism in guiding us through, he showed his fatherly side. Uncle William's not born visually impaired, but due to some things I guess. However, he overcame this huge hurdle and brought himself up again. I hope he will be cheerful always.

So back to where we were, after that we gotta walk through a shaky bridge, the girls were all screaming because of it. Haha. Then Uncle William challenged us to find a bench to sit, however, I didn't manage to touch the wet log he said. So after that, we went to 'Singapore River', after not working for SRT for so long, I forgotten which year Sir Stamford came to Singapore. Derp. Le sigh. After Common Test I've gotta buck up for SRT and IBT. We got to sit on the River Taxi, was actually effects of a still boat-like thing in there. Super cool effects like strong winds, sound effects and water. Uncle William was our Captain on board too! That explains the fun and thrilling river ride. (: Passing by that we'll be the traffic lights obstacle. We have to cross the road using traffic lights to go to Little India. How awesome right! There's fresh market in there too. Onions, carrots, apple, etc. Till this it's the end of the walk. Okay, not forgetting the cafe. We can physically experience eating and drinking in the dark. Bought their cookies made by prison in-mates. Delicious! With that we end our walk.

Having this exhibition in Ngee Ann Polytechnic, my school allows me to realise how fortunate I am to know about this first exhibition in Singapore. With this exhibition, we will be able to understand how visual impaired people live their daily life in complete darkness. It's not easy for Uncle William to get back on his feet due to the fact that he ain't born visually impaired. Being able to see the beautiful scenic in this world to complete darkness. He walked a long route before finding motivations to carry on with his life. We're blessed with our eyes to be able to continue viewing beautiful things that happen in this world. So cherish our eyes and take good care of them! (:

Big round eyes to end this off! 

Till then, folks! 

Being with you is fun, i always think of your smile when I’m angry and i start smiling

I know it's been long since I last blogged. But well, there's no audience here either I guess. I will just update as and when I'm free I hope will be daily though. Have been tumblr-ing though, but it's such a hassle to upload photos to tumblr, because the words I typed could only be captions, so I shall just do my normal blogging here and 'secrets' over at tumblr. Hahaha. 

Well, it's already the week 7. (Oh ya, if you're wondering why am I so free to blog at such timings on a Monday) Well, I skipped school today (not like what you guys think "Haiyo, pon ten!") to be more specific, I let school a miss today due to my eyelid's skin giving me problem. I do have sensitive skin problems and that whenever I'm not having enough rest my eyelid's skin will start to tear. So painful that I just got to rest my eyes, so I didn't skip school for nothing. 

So as I was saying Week 7 now and Week 8's already the Common Test week. Derp. I'm not well prepared for my OOPG. Yes, it's true that I have only 3 modules to handle for my Common Test, but that doesn't literally mean that it's all easy modules. However, I'm glad that I have 2 modules involving calculations. Maths has always been my strongest subject since I started schooling from young. I hope this will be beneficial to me for the 2 modules and actually do well for them. 

You guys might be thinking, why such sudden motivation on doing well for the modules. Frankly speaking, graduation help out last Friday made me realise that having great accomplishment in school is such a big deal. While carrying out my duty, I heard some graduate's bf said, "这个世界就是那么现实." Shall explain a little on this because I find this true yet in a dilemma to agree to it. This whole sentence came about because after graduation ceremony for the graduates, they would be invited out to the lobby for some refreshments. Ngee Ann actually had this small lounge at the side of the lobby for the GOH, staff, VIPs and Medalist holders. Yes, which means that Medalist holders' family/friends could enter. Those normal graduates will be having their refreshments out at the lobby area. So as I was standing there, guarding the doors, this person pass by and let out the remark. I find it interesting, as it's really true about the living world that we're currently in right now. Not that I'm complaining about this realistic world. As you can see the difference of high and low status quo. So I really hope I can be one standing in the lounge inviting my parents/friends in, letting them feel proud of me. (: So for this, I've only got this last year to buck up and try my best for this honorable step in the lounge. 

Enough of all this studies, a little sharing of photos I have over the week. (:

Went over to Dialogue in the Dark on Wednesday. 

Was pretty fun, will elaborate more on this the next post. 

Sat spent over at CHR (Christ Church Sec).

Photographer for this event called the Honoring Parents' Day. 

Will share my experience for this event, as it's my first time as a photographer attending such.

Spent my Sunday revamping my room. Okay, part of my room. 

And I'm pretty delighted by the decorations I made! :D

A quote for all, 

There's no right or wrong in love, it's all in the destiny of us. 

Nope~ I just thought of how promises let us here. How we built the relations, how we broke it.
