november/december me.

i think every year, when november and december rolls around, i have a little change in behavior.

i start swearing. quite a bit.

and my temper? it gets pretty short. but i don’t explode. i express it in subtle way. or in some cases, i become subtly rude.

i want things to be quick. energy level? insane.

i don’t like people to hold my hands and micro-manage me. i like to figure things out on my own. you can point me in the right direction, but please. do not come in and tell me what to do. you know how kids get frustrated when you kajiao them while they try to figure out how to create stuff with their blocks? i’m like that.

i become almost like a guy. but with some girlish/princessy attitude.

but then at the same time, things get funny.

i bump into things alot more. i drop things alot more. i become clauds.

so HMM.

Photography Workshop for HI friends(:

Me being me. Was reluctant and kind of shy to signed up to help for the workshop. But when I saw that Guo Wei and Serene are going, I just signed up. Nothing like pushing yourself to join something that’s worthwhile (:

Met Eddy Wee for a quick lunch (where I was horribly late) before walking over to YMCA with Serene and Carolyn! All of us was kinda excited and scared at the same time? What if we can’t communicate with them? And what if our skills suck? It was with this mix of feelings that we arrived at the classroom.

We were split into groups. 2 HI friends to 1 volunteers and as there’s not enough interpreters around, we had to write(:

my notes(:

It was like having Beginner’s Class all over again! And no matter how many times I attend the class (3rd time including this one), I think I learn something “new”. Not new new. But as in points that I know but forgot and then never practice! HAHAHA! And I shoot almost every week *depressed* NAH!

We had a short practical session at the rooftop of YMCA too!

practical (:

All in all, it was an interesting and fun experience(: I learnt some sign language too! Which includes Facebook, clumsy, uncle, shutter and thank you (:

Seeing that I will be jobless soon enough, I hope to volunteer a lot more. Giving tuitions, helping out with admin stuff and the random whatnots.

Here’s a picture of me and my 2 ’students’ -

new found friends (:

Hopefully you guys learnt something and I didn’t teach the wrong things to you guys! Take good care and keep in touch ya? (:

And a group shot!

group shot!

Thanks, everyone ! For a wonderful Saturday afternoon (:

And don’t you just love this shot of me?

i became a rockstar! credits to Ben Tan!

 

it hurts to read about the first time.

dancing in the streets.

ever since that SIA Oktoberfest event, I feel like dancing. it doesn’t help that my entire body was aching. when that happens, i always want to cuddle up and then move some more.

so after a great session of mdealing and falling asleep on the train home, i plugged in my itouch and blasted the music. hoping that it will give me some energy to push me home.

and it did more than that.

the streets were relatively quiet. one or two cars will pass by. deyi was empty, so was the basketball court.

when “Get on the Floor” from FAME OST came on, i started dancing. it started with a little skipping. but as the music got louder, it got more than that.

when i reached my block, i almost didnt want to go home

one word: SHIOK.

i dont need you to let go. i can have fun by myself.

burden off my shoulders.

i finally handed it in. i don’t know if it’s a wise decision or not, but at least i am moving and not stepping/dancing in the same square.

and i guess because of the decision, all the exhaustion is now rushing in.

know how it felt when your exams end? how when you are mugging, you don’t exactly feel tired? but when it ends, *BOOM* exhaustion floods in and you can sleep for hours.

it’s that feeling.

my entire body aches. my eyes are constantly tired. falling asleep during lunch for the past 2 days.

bad time to have insomnia really. HAHA.

do your research.

i dont mean to diss these guys. but some of them really…*speechless*

So while being bored to death by “500 days of summer”, I decided to check my mail and saw the following msg -

Shannon had introduce ur shootings… i found it is good shootd…
so can i add u in face book to see more on ur shooting !!!

later
John

First reaction (and I probably displayed the face I make when I see things I cannot believe) was, “I have a friend called Shannon?!” Thinking that maybe I really have a friend by that name, I went to check the guy’s friend request to see if we have any friends in common.

And guess what? We have ZERO friends in common. DUH.

A few things to learn about lying and probably marketing(?) from here.

a) If you don’t know, shut up.

If you don’t know me, there’s a higher probability of me adding you. Cause I might think that you are a friend of a friend and I have probably forgotten about you.

But by emailing me and telling me that my “friend” recommended me to you, you are bringing attention to the fact that you don’t know me and is lying.

b) do your research!

If you want to lie, at least do it properly. Click “See All” and pick some random names from the list lah! If you are lucky, you might pick someone that I am not familiar with, and I will be too paiseh to ask THEN I might add you.

Like hello? At least make sure there’s some truth to your lie. puh-lease.

c) English English English

My ang-moh not that strong. But seriously, wth is “shootings”? And wth is “shootd”. Excuse me, no such word as shooted. Bloody hell.

But I guess I should give him credits for finding out that I like photography. Then again, it might be a lucky guess cause I am holding on to my D300 in my profile pictures.

Anyways, my reply to him?

thank you for your effort to try and make up a lie to know me.

but no thanks. btw, i have no friends called shannon.

Should I put a screenshot here? HMM.
