:: many many things ::
today was a b-e-a-utiful day! with some.. erm, *hiccups* here and there (like my fainting spells, sigh). but hey there's beauty in imperfection. :) i'll just do some highlights... haha. :)
|| Photographic society Dark Room course ||
ok this is THE HIGHTLIGHT of the day. i'm CRAZY about
black and white photography!!!!! crazy crazy crazy!!! i mean seriously, it's SO DAMN COOL!!!! i developed a roll of black and white film today, and it turned out PERFECT!!!! WOW i'm impressed with myself! hahaha! and we also did a test print for the films.... and mine was PERFECT too!!!!! ok relatively, in comparison with my frenz... but. WHO CARES!!! hahahaha i'm good i'm good i'm good! :P :P :P
|| mango crazy sale ||
held at raffles city. i went there after the course cuz i needed to change a skirt i bought from bum equipment that's too huge. haha. anyway,
mango was doing this crazy clearance sale, slashing all the prices by
50% and my God you should see those WOMEN. *aRRRGh* i mean they were like, strewning clothes all over the place, taking, throwing, taking, picking, throwing back into the pile. and there's women clutching wallets and wallets to their bosoms. in a way i dun really blame them, i mean, we're talking mango goods in SINGAPORE going as low as 9bucks! and there's this gorgeous gorgeous pants, kinda brown-beige velvet-corduroy material and it's omG sOOOOoo mmmm-M! *grinz grinz* hurmph but as much as i wanted to loot like those women, the queue totally totally put me off. on top of that the air conditioner wasn't working so, gee, too bad. SIGH. hahaha. but i'm compensated, nonetheless, cuz i saw this
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL LADY!!!!!!!!!! she took my breath away! tall, with miles and miles of legs, flawless skin, natural makeup with a hint of blush, big doeful eyes. she wore this translucent orangey floral skirt, white ladies sandals, i cant rem what top tho, pity. but she's like an angel, gosh.
ok wait wait, girls, (and boys, or guyz), i'm still straight. i just like to appreciate the finer creations in life, like beautiful, gorgeous women. they're SO MUCH better to look at than, erm, men? lol.
|| coffee with ridz ||
hmm... nothing very special i guess, but today we talked abt a lot of potential projects. also i cound out ridz is not very straight, he's kinda in love with this buddy of his (who is, by the way, extremely extremely rich, superbly nice, has brains, but attached). haha... as i told ridz, "attached can break, married can divorce, as long as he/she is not dead, still got chance." hahahaha, aiya but it's bullshit, in a way anyway. hee. but the point is, well, you get a kind of inspiration aura talking to ridz about, plans, projects, that kinda stuff. he makes dreams seem within grasp, he makes dreams within reach. these kinda pple, really really awes me. the way they believe in their dreams, their Out-of-this-World dreams, is truly inspiring. seriously, everyone should know at least one such person, and keep each other's dreams alive.
ah well, that's kinda the end of my highlights. hmm, today i found such a multitude of things life has to offer us, in so many numerous ways. there's so many things we can do, and we're all young, full of energy and health, and dreams. my new fren celia, i went to see her dance, and met candy there too. they're really good, and watching them inspires one to be THAT good in dance. and i recalled shuling and her dreams and passion about archery, how devoted and totally enthusiastic about it she was. and i thought back to my photography session, another inspiration too, to be have that kinda expertise in something you're really, truly passionate about. and there's so many other things -- leading people, touching people, inspiring them to be passionate about themselves and their interests and their dreams by being passionate yourself.
wow....... the power everyone of us is able to wield! i am so passionate about art, design, and so many other things. but i didn't choose to do a la-salle degree. i might have felt regret, and a sense of loss, at losing what i so love. i did, in fact, many times, and i so admire those who had the courage to trod on paths untravelled. but i realized that i have nothing to be regretful about. there're so many paths. so many avenues. the losing of one means the opportunity to pursue another. all of us might have lost a passion, a dream, at some point, but there're always new ones to pursue. as i am now, i'll prob go after my lit degree. it's my favourite subject and i totally love it.
heck the *ahem* practical concerns. who cares. if lit doesn't allow me to survive in singapore, i'll travel elsewhere. the world is so big, we only have to take the first step to discover what it holds for us.
