| I had some practise on Sunday with the position of the sun when handling camera... It was sweaty but it was really humbling. There is so little time to shoot when the sun is in a good position... especially when the sun is about to set... I was thinking to myself, damn... its so difficult but hell! I had fun. It was in a way meaningful. It reminds me what I want to do. I was straying away... Anyway, I went to the UCC today for a NUS Wind Symphony Concert. I went because Elgin's Serena's Sister Sharon was in it. I felt quite bored for most of the pieces... Except for this one composed by Satoshi Yagisawa titled "Soaring Over the Ridges" about the North Alps in Japan. The composer Satoshi climbed the Alps with the conductor Makino Makoto and assistant music director Asao Makoto before composing the piece. When I heard it I was moved, It was majestic and strangely calming. My mind started running... Satoshi climbed the Alps to get inspiration for such a work, it made me think about the concept of creative work. It made me think about the motivation behind doing a work of creation? I wondered about the respect and the effort to be put in to come up with a work that does creative work justice... I am thinking that while Art can be accused of Masterbatory and Commercial work accused of being Mercenary... putting all these labels aside... what ought to be the motivation behind doing something like making a film, taking a photo or writing an article... Baby Sam during Chinese New Year, focus is still off.... my flash bounce is off too...

| Dad is admited to CDC. I am about to be charged in court for AWOL. Gosh... Nothing is going right... I'll have to attend training 3 days a week in April when the projects in the company are starting... Damn... I still haven't gotten down to shoot my own personal short... Plus... I haven't been reading.. very out of touch with what's happening around the world... Fuck... Needless to say, I am still not very happy with my photography capability... I want to buy a new lense... Sigh... It's a mess... Hopefully, everything will be solved one by one over time... On the bright side, it's been inspiring to look at his pictures... here is one of his sets... http://www.flickr.com/photos/ngiapheng/sets/72157594568768837/ He is my idol!! |

| Nothing to shout about during reservist; I was glad to be back at work. However, there is just so many things in my life to re-organise that I am not quite sure how to start. I guess the most important thing now to me is to live a balanced lifestyle and not to over-indulge in any one thing and neglect another. Balance is the key to stamina and sanity. Anyway, experimented with my friend's zoom lense the other day... excited...  
But I feel the most interesting photo of the day was taken by my friend who preyed...haha caught peeping!
