An HDR image of Singapore’s Civic District:) Too bad there was no clouds…

Had dinner with disCo sharks on Monday. Walked around the Esplanade, and wrote wishes on a wishing ball(to be released in the Singapore River). Chang Lok lost his suanning capabilities, apparently. Weilin and Lok Hang was like suanning Chang Lok at any possible moment.

Went to buy uniform today. I look wierd in my year 4 uniform.

Saw this clip while doing research on the UN. I think it’s cool, as in the video, the UN peacekeepers were in contrast with the what we see in everyday life. 

A treble clef that I took that is formed with Pika-Pika, a form of photography whereby pictures were drawn (with flashlights and glo-sticks) as the camera shutter opens to a indefinite amount of time. Cool isn’t it?

What a busy week! Was going back to school almost everyday for the past week. Now finally getting some moment of rest.

Packed the SC room today and discovered (to our horror) that Carom boards in the SC room were infested with termites. Zi Siang had the honour(?) of taking the can of insecticide to spray on the swarms of termites that was on the Carom boards. He finished the can of insecticide before all the termites on the boards could be exterminated. lol.

Thanks to the termites, we had to unpack all the blazers and shake them before packing them back into black thrash bags to be sent for dry cleaning. We also had to move the boxes of items from the SC room to the hall, where the floorball team was having their training. While repacking the blazers, we were hit by floor balls flying towards us. One of the balls hit me right smack in the face. The pain left me stunned for quite awhile:(

Went for the 3D BBQ at Hilda’s house and had fun telling each other ghost stories. Thanks to Wei Jian’s dad, I managed to not break the curfew. haha. Thanks Wei Jian and his dad!

My 1st HDR imaging work. Comments anyone? :)

After getting a DSLR a few days ago, I must admit that I’m in love with photography. Took tons of images of the Malan Road campus and also PUB sales.

Ken also introduced me to HDR(High Dynamic Range) photography. It’s basically taking the same scene in different exposures using Auto Exposure Bracketing, then combining the images together to form 1 image. After some tone-mapping, the picture would looke very CGI-ish. Cool eh? :D

Okay, have to go sleep already. A long day tomorrow. 

Saturday

Some friend of mine from Hwa Chong got a Nikon D90, some mid-range DSLR which was epic cool. Was playing with it while we were walking around the neighbourhood on Saturday night.

We then walked past Bukit Batok CC and saw that there was a Karaoke competition. Thus, we took the D90, went to the front, and acted as though we were the official photographers. As soon as we did that, we then saw the REAL photographer coming towards us with a imba Nikon D3x. Epic owned the D90. XD

We had wanted to gatecrash some guy’s wedding by acting as the official photographer, but we decided not to, as well, 1) the restaurant was full of guests and 2) we decided that we couldn’t control our laughter, which could ruin the act.

Ps. How’s that for a camera with good pixelation, Geri? ;)

Sunday

Went to KX’s house to bake cookies for Mrs Ong for her op. The experience with baking was well, EPIC. We had wanted to form the letters R, A, C, H, E and L；and also make Mickey Mouse-shaped ones but well, they came out like epic 水肿. And the Mickey Mouse looks as though it had been force-fed with cookies.

But the cookies came out rather tasty, and I was kind of addicted to the cookies. Should bake some for myself someday:) We then played “STRESS” using the “Upwords” game set and I ended up really pekcek as I kept losing and having to take the tiles. –_-

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse?

After getting back 7/8 subjects for EoYs, I’ve concluded that that dream of mine that did not come true is something worse than I could imagine. None of my subjects had improved in results, and I had lost my A1s for Lang Arts and Biology, 2 subjects which I was confident in.

My only hope now would lie in moderation (Which wouldn’t help much) and my grades for the previous terms. I had not understood why I had failed miserably; I had did my revision faithfully, even going back to school to get help from teachers. What went wrong?

If in barbed wire flowers can bloom, why couldn't I? I will not die, I will not die…

Maths paper 1 was disappointing, and I’m feeling as pessimistic about paper 2 as well:( Got back SCS, and did quite okay, which is good. Bio section A was expectedly screwed. Will collect Chemistry paper tml. Hope that I will be able to do well this time..

Cos of Yi Li’s imba handwriting, Mrs Ong read her name to be Yi Ci. Super cool name can? All of us started calling her Priest Yi Ci (since papers with her handwriting on it could be used as a talisman) Bought a book abaout folding paper aeroplanes and started wreaking havoc during lessons.Woohoo! :DD

Post EOYs is also a good time to crap. Was trying to come up with jargons for council. In the end, we used Tanker, Super-Tanker and Oil Tanker to classify councillors. Tankers are those who can Tank, but have a limit to what they could handle. Super-Tankers are those who Tank everything and anything (incl. Saikang) and seems to have no limit in the amount of tasks they can Tank. Oil tankers are ones who only do the most important projects(Oil is ex and impt). Lmao.

Welfare’s gonna 忙到爆 during the period now up to 2010. Brace yourselves! :D
