Without futher a do, may i present to u all.... my full battle order. Wow. Haha. Ok, back to the main thiggy. Went down expo for BBT and sitex yest with the blue bros, ocs and the bin. Wa damm. It was so crowded yest that i have to squeezed through every little path i could possibly find with my gear. Duh, it was so packed with people that i could hardly get a good shot. Damm its so frastrating. Ok nvm, calm down calm down, after we leave the place, we went changi airport for our dinner. Yeah, its such a nice place to go. I love the airport!!! Haha.

We went fish & co for our dinner. The environment there was just 2 nice that i really enjoyed my meal. We were all cracking and sharing jokes throughout the whole dinner. Had lots of fun. After dinner, ocs suggested to go turbocharge held in city hall!!! Omg and where were we? We are in changi!!

Hmmm the setup there was just like the tokyo drift show, only thing it lacks was more hot cars and babes. Lol. Ok had a couple of shots there and here it is; the fhm girls!!Hmmm, luckily there were not many people with their big heads or long hands blocking me here. Left the place at the end of the whole event and we were all so shagged out. Finally back to home sweet home to get some rest. Hai, just realised i have so many upcoming things to buy!!! I wan buy a SB800, who can be kind enough to buy me 1???

Welcome to my life

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

Recently, I went for sessions of phtoshoots. Omg, now I felt that I so addicted to it.There is this sudden urge of doing portfolios for people and friends, although I'm still very new to this. Nevertheless, I got myself my very 1st project!! Haha. So happy and looking forward to it. Really looking forward to doing a good job. Well, hopefully I'm up for it. Gonna give my best shots, yeah!!

Not only that, my passion for photography has really grown tremendously. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bingrong81 From using a film digital cam to using a dslr now. Getting all the equipment and accessories has really cost me a bomb. But dun know y, I'm enjoying every min of photography now. Hopefully to learn more from the pros and getting the right techniques. Well look out for my very 1st portfolio assignment then.

Whhooo. Wat a tiring day. Totally worked myself out today, from head to toe. Today went with my mum to shop for my winter clothings. I spent about $300 today, just alone on my winter clothings. Omg!! Really heartbreak.... Just becos of a korea trip, which i really look forward to in dec, has cost me a bomb and its a nuclear bomb. A destruction which can burn a hole in my bank book for yrs and yrs. A piece of advice for those out there who have not yet travelled to countries which are snowing or have freezing cold conditions, don think that it seems very fun, which i can say it actually is, it can also burn a big fat hole in ur account. Hai.. wat to do now, who ask me wan to try out the skiing experience. Who knows, maybe i myself, is a pro skiier!!! Haha.

After that, evening, went meet the bin. We went to esplanade. Do wat there? U may ask. To take photos!!! Omg. Amazing rite. Thats rite. Weibin all of a sudden rented a dslr and wanted to try out his cam. So poor me have no choice but to go with him and giving him a few pointers here and there. Haha. Wa! And the whole session can actually lasted for 2 hrs plus, with us skipping our dinner. I was so hungry by then which i can actually eat a entire buffalo. Duh, thanks to the bin who seem so enthusiastic in taking photos. Just go buy a camera lar, bin. Really a shag day man. Finally came all the way back to our market and thank god, we can finally grab something to eat. With that, here are some of my amazing pics taken with my very own camera. Yeah!!!

Looking back, really look forward to get some income soon or else my pocket hole is getting bigger and deeper. Hai... very soon year end is approaching soon. Time to start thinking of the new year resolutions, looking forward to getting a new challenge and stable income of cos.

Yesterday, I met jimmy and Fuyan at esplanade after my lesson. We went to the hawker beside to eat. Wa, quite a nice environment, with so many chio bus and gd food there. It was quite crowded 2 I must say. I, 1 person ordered a plate of carrot cake, hokkien noodles and a bbq sting ray!!! Power rite!!! Yummy yummy..... After our supper, we decided to walk walk since we were all so full. Guess wat. We walked all the way from esplanade to harbour front!!! Power rite!!!! (Clap clap lei.) From espalnade to one fullerton to CBD area to the railway station and to harbour front in just 1 hr and 1o mins!!! WWhhhooo.... It was just like our army road march which we haven't had the "fun" for a very long time.

But a misfortunate event occurred. Just as we were reaching harbour front pasting the new vivocity, an accident occured. A taxi crashed into a motorcyclist. OMG!!! A loud bang that woke everyone of us to our senses. The motorcylist lied flat, unconcious on the ground with his gf being thrown over but suffered bruises. It was a moment of shock for us. Passerbys quickly rushed over to help. We wanted to help but we couldnt do much. (We r only trained in IV and CPR) We could only stand and pray for the injured. Soon after the ambulance arrived and rushed off to the nearest hospital. From them, we can only joped for the safety of the injured. And it just so happened rite after fri the 13th.

Wow. Its a very long long time since i last blog. Don't know if there were others reading it anyway. Haha. Its been really a period of ups and downs for me personally this period. So much issues were running through my head. I'm getting so confused and troubled. Hai... but nvm forget about all these sad and unwanted things. Dump them aside 1st.

Today is the day where I was back at the Jurong Bird Park once again since my primary school days. Wow seems long to me. Woke up early in the morning, equipped with all my barang barang of photography equipments, took a bus to meet ronald. From there we, arranged to meet kelvin at the bird park entrance. It was supposed to be a photography trip there as we are reli going to take some birdie pics since its renovation there. Feeling was great and filled with excitment. Whhhooo... The moment we stepped in, we were shooting non-stop!!! Right from the beginning till we left. Hahah. (Look at the lovely couple) Weather was reli hot and warm in the morning but then started to drizzle in the noon. Saw lots of birds(well of cos) big, small, colourful, smelly or even noisy. Ronald was trying to act like a pro all the way with his newly bought lens. Haha. Kelvin was busily shooting birds and even self pics with his nokia handy phone!!! (Pics of them in the newly renovated enclosed area) Wow, we had so much fun and were shooting continously till all shagged out in the end. We were like sitting there and stonning!! Haha. But then we rewarded ourselves with ben & jerry's ice-cream in the end for our hardwork today. Lol, hope to organise more such outings the next time. Till then, hopefully my next post will come soon.........

K, it may sound really crap but that really happened to me. Gosh, why am I so lucky. Damm. I got fined for using my legs to cross!!! Well done rite? Hai... Forget it then. Hmmm really nothing to blog about at the moment. Just hoping to do well in my coming exams and hopefully to know more people. Duh.... My circle of friends is shrinking!! Save me......... Well then, will continue to blog again...

Hai... Its so sad to be back in singapore. Reli enjoyed myself there in Hong Kong. The weather's different, the temperature's different and even the city's different. The trip reli gives us fun and tiredness. We walked so much just like our army days. Lol, but its worth it. We covered almost all the main attractions in HK. The scenery was splendid. Its perfect, specially in the night. The harbour view of HK was simply marvellous.

We went to the peak too, also known as Tai Ping Shan of HK. This is also one of the attractions which is a must go for a 1st timer to HK. Up there, u'll get a breath taking view of the harbour with a light breeze blowing towards u, its simply perfect. Wat more could u ask for. At night, u'll get to see aview which u wont see it in singapore.

Lan Kwai Fong, a favourite for clubbers at night and its so happening there that almost everynight its packed with people going there for clubbing, relax or to have a taste of the good food there. We also went to the ocean park of HK. Theres so much fun in there. Lots of rides which would surely trill you.

Of cos, the main attraction of HK now is Disneyland!! This is a must go for all 1st timers whos never been to 1 b4. It is fantastic. It reli brings back the childhood in me. So happy there and its so unforgettable. Taken lots of pics there, with all the disney characters. And the performance was perfect. The disney parade is a must watch for all. Of cos, u wont get a gd view if u arrive late just like us, with so many heads and hands blocking in front of u. We spent the whole day there, with the intention of catching the finale. The fireworks!! Yes, its so beautiful watching the fireworks. Its reli different from wat we have for national day. I would say disneyland really left a deep impression in my mind. I wan to go back there....... So sad to be back here. :(

Finally!!! After so many late nights of marathon in finishing up my assignments, I finally get to have a good rest. And this rest really comes in gd time. 1 more day to my HK trip!!!

Really look forward to the disneyland especially. Brings back the childhood in me hahaha..... So happy. Yeah I'm going to take pictures with mickey, minnie, donald, goofy........... Like one say "Welcome to the Kingdom of Magic" .........

Its been quite some time since I last blogged. Partly is bcos there's nothin interesting to write about. But actually I'm quite busy with my own stuff. Hmmm.. Nothing interesting still, except for some extra things which appeared in my house. My parents have finally get someone to install aircon in our hse. Phew. Singapore's intorelable warm, humid weather has finally persuaded my parents to do it. And so the technicians finally came down today. Hooray....

Next is that I got myself a camera. A DSLR cam. Yeah. After years of indecisive temptations to get a digital cam, I finally parted with my hard earned money to get 1. Actually photography has been my hobby since my secondary sch days. Finally a wish came true.

Lastly, something to get excited about. Yeah!! Im going to Hong Kong!! With ronald and jimmy. 2 more wks to my hk trip! So excited. My very 1st trip with my friends and a trip after so many years of entrapment in singapore. Haha cant wait for that day to come. Been counting down everyday for that moment. Anyway, hopefully i got more time to post more entries. So stay tuned. :)

Today is a very sad day. Valentine's day. The name of it truely spells out the meaning of my nick. Sad sad sad...... Every year, this is a very ordinary day to me. This year is no different. Hai... Went out with my kaki, Jimmy to get a box of chocolate for his beloved 1. Wa, the whole place was flooded with couples. I was so jealous and envious. Hai... My heart was so sour and aching, wondering when can I be like one of them. Valentine day valentine day. Y must there be such a day which broke the hearts of the lonely ones. All I can wish for is that next yr's valentine's day, I wouldn't be celebrating alone. Hopefully........ Best wishes to all the couples out there.

Today is the end of my CNY holidays or shld i say yest. So sad... The next public holi will be such a long way down the road. Hai.. This year didnt reli rest enough. Slept very late almost everyday. Must be the holiday mood. Also, the Ang Bao like getting lesser and lesser each year. Guess a person really loses his or her value as he or she gets older. Wo Bu Xiang Zhang Da!! Yest went pua kiao with my friends, end up losing money. Kaoz. Hai... Guess the most enjoyable night is the Chu Xi night liao, where the reunion dinner and the count down mood reli turns me on. Oh ya went to the Chun Dao He Pan on the second night of CNY with ronald to take photos and to experience the crowd. The fireworks looks really great, i should say. The crowd there looks even greater just like the ones shown in the papers. Enjoy the pictures then. Cai Shen Dao. Dong Dong Chen.

Hmmm, after that, went queensway with ronald to shop for some t-shirts and also my sandals. End up getting a t-shirt only cos the shops selling shoes are packed like crazy!! As though the shoes are free for grab. Duh. Nvm will get it after the new year period with fewer people fighting for it. Then we left queensway to meet weibin. Guess wat. We were stopped by 2 policemen and they searched through our stuff. Duh. Must be some terrorists suspects found there. Kaoz.
