Wow.. did my try out with my 500D, not too bad, even though i must admit tt video recording lacks slightly in terms of performance and speed. Anw, it's a digi cam, so shouldnt expect it to behave as a video cam. LOL.

Some "testing" photos uploaded at pure xpressions. In case you dont know where, it's http://pure-xpression.blogspot.com/. Just click the link located on the top-left column. lolz.. tt's where my photos will be.. if not very messy with photos and blogs all messed-up together in here.

When to vivo right after my collection of free gifts(EOS bag, User Guide Bk, 8GB high speed SD card------actually is counted into the price) at canon digi lab, located @ keppel bay blah blah.. forgot. Took couple of shots using my prime lens, the 50mm f/1.8. Happens to be the way i expected. Best to use it in low-light situation. Love it. Happy to see that the aperture of my camera can 1st time reach to as big as 1.8, usual 3.5.

EOS Bag too big liao la. So offbeat. May sell it away. Saw ppl selling it at $25 @ clubsnap. I wonder if i should sell it away too.... hmmm..

4 days after buying this cam, price dropped by S$100.
也未免掉太快了吧？？？
lucky got tt 50mm f1.8 prime lens de promotion, cos if closely examine, i still benifit cos tt prime lens de price is $159. YEAH~~!~!~!~!~!~
这叫做自我催眠。 果然。一点都不有效。


this blog will be quite dead soon. Cos no photo. Nvm, will shift my attention to tt photo blog once tt blog fully ready..

nites ppl.

Ava club celebration at Orchid Park Condo.. Erm.. 1st time havin this kinda celebration cum gathering not bad la.. but abit dead and boring.. gotta improve on tt..lolz.. since it's the 1st year it should be smth proud of for those who rendered effort for tis celebration. Anyway, i went off pretty early la, so nv eat anything or play any games in the evening and night. So went there 3hrs in total, from 2-5. haha. Guys went for swimming pool de games, so only captured UHN(upper half naked) guys. Better not post. =) Later i tio beaten up.

Brought Canon 500D at MS Colour in the evening. Nice photos, great noise reduction, other than tt everything looks similar and works the same way as the 450D. HD movie recording sux though, but tt's not the main aim i am looking for anw. So not tt kind of sian diao. And yes, 15.1Mp, great for making large prints, photo competitions, and greater ease of cropping photos to a smaller size tt still reach the desire resolution..

One bad thing, file size damn big. Higher ISO, larger file size.
Can go up to 8MB when ISO reaches 12800. Even though such situations of using high ISOs are extremely rare.

Kinda unpleasent experience at the MS colour (AMK hub). Saw some comments @ clubsnap abt their 'pek chek' and act clever attitude at HUB and proven to be correct today. I was like asking the ISO expansion capability when he asked me with tt kind of hao lian look"需要那么高做什么？" Shit you. Asking not equals to "will use it" rite? I'll accept if you tok to me in a helpful way, but u give me tt kinda look? Puke. Close shop la. I think he is like thinking: teenage nia, wont buy one. lolz..

Ok, back from my hot temper. MS colour quoted S$1250, inclusive GST at both the HUB and Blk 711. Tt's like alot cheaper than tt $1399 at courts.

Had our dinner at S11, beside tt MS colour main outlet. But before tt we went and ask for the prices. Their service and attitude between this two stores differ by donno how many megametres. Blk 711 de very polite, allow me to test the cameras for a long time without toking and distract me. =) Thumbs up!~ Before leaving, she offered her namecard somemore. But then she abit niao(1) , cannot lower price one. Chey!

Back from our dinner, we asked again, this time round looking for florence(lady boss). One guy immediately know tt i must have done tt eqoute. So he asked "EQOUTE AR?" lolz..

But luckly got make tt e-quote thingy. E-quote de price is $1240, cheaper by $10. I tend to believe equote more 划算 anw. They admit lowering prices in equotation deliberately.
Tried different models, Sony A500, Canon 500D, Nikon D5000 (All happen to have the number "5" in their model no. haha!) Nikon is 1st out of my sight cos its the worse among all 3 models(i believe). Both the Sony A500 and canon 500D are difficult to decide.

Sony sort of appeals me more than canon at 1st, due to it's tilt screen, 5fps, solid built and excellent grip. But she(tt "saleswoman". not tt boss cos she went home liao.) quoted me a price tt is not according to equote de (told you she very "niao"(1)"), so it's like not worth it lor.)
Furthermore she kept on pursuading on sony, cos she wearing sony ma. I guessed she can get commision from it. tt's y.. Or hu noes?
Maybe sony is really better.. but no regrets actually, cos both equally good to me. I think Canon better in terms of processor and screen (920k dots vs 230k dots on sony). Haiz.. nvm. Buy liao just hope the SRP(suggested retail price) will continue to stay at $1399. Better still. Stay at this price forever. =) I usually hate seeing prices going down immediately after buying it. Like knife piercing though my heart, u see?

$1235 after hard negiotation. Comes with LCD protector, UV filter, EOS Bag, User Guide Book, 8GB SD, free 2-hr course and free 50mm f/1.8 lens. Haiz.. very tired liao.. gotta go sleep.. nights ppl~

fun.. really fun.. unforgettable memory.. Been in this school for 4 years, grown up a little, and did foster long lasting friendships. i saw some schoolmates that i seldom talk to, and some friends who we know each other in heart.. Now, 4 years of memory just sped pass us, and it's kinda sad when we contantly knew that we are going to leave each other, towards different goals in life. Who knows whether our friendship will last forever?


Will upload some grad nite photos, once im free.. hehe.. cos this laptop de colour very fade, can't do a proper photo editing.
E.g Adequate saturated photo on laptop= over saturated on destop.
Will edit using my destop com.

Can you imagine u urself searching for shoes for like 1 hr and did not buy any in the end? Cos i experienced tt today. Not because i 挑剔, is just because there's no size no.8. Went to several stores (about 4) and none got my size. tabuleh tahan. Walked all the way from ION to orchard central somemore. leg sibei suai, back sibei painful. nvm. i guess i dont have tt luck today. budden met someone. Mdm yeo. lolz..

Touched alot of cameras today. Sony especially, at their retail stores. They are friendly, nv even disturb me when i was experimenting wif those cameras. Thats wat i want, give me some sense of freedom not like tt courts. Boasting his imaginary knowledge when he seriously donno. But not bad leh, their lens are quite decent, just like canon de. Budden nv really saw any fast lens. Only those common ones. I guess i gotta do some research and determine which one i should focus on.. yup.. sony is currently in my consideration. canon and sony. Nikon D5000 is no good. So off u go nikon. Bye~

haiz.. go see cameras liao.. researching before buying is crucial. =) bb.

phew... after months of KNS prepations and exhausting days of doing papers and papers, it's finally over. Now is to wait for tt graduation night thingy, which is..er.. 4-5 days from now. lol.. i am not anticipating for tt day to come though, just feel very tired and want it to end quickly. Still nid to class vid somemore.. all bo liao things come straight to me after chem paper. nvm.. i 好人 do for the class. =) i think is do finish le. donno accept not. LOL.

Still got a lot others, like A and E math. All full solutions.. thanks to this wbsite anw..

Brought the shirts for grad nite liao. Donno good a not.. lolz.. spend like over $100 for tt.. haiz.. hopefully next time can still wear. or else very wasteful.. 父母亲的血汗钱... 100+ dollars, i can save for my canon prime lens. SOB. oh ya.. also went to courts see see camera, since touching them not nid to pay. hehe.. at most they only give bosong face.. While i was pointing to my mum the 500D, tt 'half helpful and see me as a noob' sellsman walked up to ask if we nid any help. He recommended me to buy tt sony donno wat brand at $699. Cheaper than 500D by half the price. (500D at $1399). lolz.. 10.1 megapix. not a good one. The grip gives me no confidence cos it doesnt fit my hands at all. Might really drop if someone were to really walk past me and accidently knock onto it. lolz.. tt salesman still got that money-face look. Haolian explanation really make me wanna correct him. Zzz.. nvm.. since i am not buying anw, u want crap i listen and nob my head will do lor.

haha... got to go watch some videos.. hehe.. cya..

Chinese? Aiya. Hope can pass ok liao. Not setting high target. Haiz. if i can pass this 2 Ls, then 2 bonus points will be mine. But if one, or even two kana -KO-, then i would have to say bb to my 2 points. Actually, this 2 points are very crucial to me.. Cant lose it. But wat happens if i really lose it? Poly? Which course should i go? That's like death sentence to me lor. Sian.

Physic. Not bad.. around 39-40? Cos got one question that shock/shook the whole school. Mr lee only sae option A and D got "POTENTIAL".

U see, Got Potential ≠ Correct answer.
SO hopefully.. ya.. 39/40 at least..
Pray tt i nv shade wrong all questions can liao.
That's like the worse nightmare for all candidates.

K.. cya~ 13 nov. chemistry paper1, the last battle before the war ends.

Offbeat again @ {8:02 PM}

next paper will be on 10 nov, where my 'always flunk' paper will come and defeat me. it's none other than HCL. SOB. Hope i will not be killed.

If i make full use of these days, hopefully i can secure at least B4? i dont want a C. As usual, Eng partially did badly, nv secure those marks tt i should obtain. hopefully chi can give me some glimpse of hope. =)

Lookin back on the papers sat...
Eng-- as mentioned above. just expecting a pass.
Math-- multiple carelesses on paper 1. but i think no mark loss on paper 2. Sis helped me re-do the
whole paper.. =DD <--- face wif double chin.
Amath-- total 5 marks known to fly away. not counting those marks on proving questions.. cos i
cant really prove. =*( <---diamond tears
SS-- flunked terribly. Aiya dont bother mentioning. spoil mood.
Elec geo-- pray god tt this will help pull up my comb. humanities marks. paritally gave up one evaluation quest cos their English damn chim dont really understand wat tt question toking abt. only wrote one paragraph. but at least the 1st evaluative question i made full use of it. wrote two full pages. =) hand bitterly pain shortly afterwards. =(* <--- diamond saliva. Lame.
Chem paper 2-- wow! amazingly surprised cos there are as many as 3 organic chem questions. Lucky nv drown me. Organic chem i still can handle.. bud den one inorganic chem question suxs. i can only thrust my hand tt i nv write careless answers during the paper.. if there are only little carelesses, at least there is still little hope.
Phy paper 2-- embarrasing. few marks gone just because of tt. wasted.. now worring if can get a1 not.. not surprising tt it will drop. i got myself ready for the worse. =)

k.. update after the olevel. 13 nov.. time flies pretty fast.
