What Holiday?!!

Aw man, I seriously take forever to update! BLame it on the workload of a final year student...and also..heh..low stamina...seriously feel so tired each day esp on Mondays n Tuesdays when I have to climb the stairs all the way to the 8th floor :P Anyway, it's now mid-sem break, but it sure doesn't feel like it. Yeah, we don't have to go for classes, but there are lots of extra things. Here's how my schedule looked like for this week:

Saturday, 14th April: Eng. Mgmt 2 tutorial, then rush up to CUltural Village for Rotaract's Amazing Hunt 3. LUckily, all I had to do was man the start/finish line and watch out for any injured participants. Got to go to Permai and also Buntal for yummy seafood dinner with friends. BUt all that driving wore me out..I've never driven up n down to Damai b4...only drove down once when DRR Zack was here...ahha...

Monday: Early in the morning, went up to SK Batu Kitang, a rural sch on the way to Bau, to officially handover the books that we bought with the proceeds of Rotaract's movie premiere. We each took a group of Pri 5-6 kids and read Enid Blyton short stories to them. Had to translate each paragraph into BM..and my BM is damm rusty!...i couldn't remember wat's drown...n had to ask Edison :P Oh! And we had our 'Mahjong Club' Installation bbq...lol

Tuesday: RUsh to finish up Mgmt 2 summary report on Coca-Cola Company. What summary? It was 18 pages!! Lol!!..But another group had 29 pages...so it's ok, lecturer says it's fine anyhow. Replacement Mgmt class that nite, since he won't b here for 26th n 28th of April.

Wednesday: Re-emailed companies in Singapore to find out about the Texas Instrument Evaluation Module for my FYP project. Rushed to sch to attend Swinburne's 2nd World Sch Debate Championship Training Session....as I was one of the adjudicators...Since there was also the 1st prelim round...it ended around 7 plus....-_-||

Thursday: Spent the whole day adjudicating 4 more prelim rounds, and it was mostly the same teams, Green Rd A and B, Lodge A. Later at night, I still had to give tuition.....

Friday: Last day of debate competition..Lodge A vs Green A for the final...which was very very close. It also ended around 7, then we went off to have dinner with CY and Henry...then mahjong!...though we had a Photonics test on Monday, we were too tired to study...

Saturday: Mgmt 2 tutorial...which I thought of skipping since I was still tired out. Looking back, I should have, so that I could study more in the afternoon. So what the heck am I doing now, updating??..Eek.

Seriously, my initial plan for the holiday was to spend more time n effort on my final year project, to study for the Photonics test, and to revise the other 2 subjects. But no...none of that was done. Aww man... Anyway, while at Sarawak Cultural VIllage, though I was stuck at the restaurant, I still ended up taking a lot of pics of the same stuff....ahhaah...mostly the mountain view, since it changed over the hours from totally covered with clouds...to less clouds. Heh. And of course, pics from the beach. Oh and there was this couple...who were taking wedding photos at SCV...not sure if they were a couple or just models...

Testing out the Color Accent mode on this really interesting bush/tree

Thought this made for a good detail shot..hehe..plus the colours r good

One of my fave shots from that afternoon, and this was without flash, so lucky it wasn't blurred. Btw, it was someone lifting up her skirt, not the wind..ehhe

I liked how clear everything came out, esp the reflections

If u haven't noticed, I seem to like taking pics with a blue n green theme....

Kinda like nature photography so here I am, testing the digital zoom mode..

Awww..just like one of those romantic postcards/posters...Guess who they are.. ;)

Somehow this doesn't seem very 'real' to me...unearthly..mayb Mars? Haha..probably due to sepia mode

And my final picture of the day! After about 300 pics... heh -_-|||

And as if u can't tell...I seem to be so into photography now...the main reason is coz...I have a new toy...the Canon IXUS 850IS....which costs RM1499.....and looks like this:

So yeah..i guess u'll be seeing more photos from me soon..lol. Any comments..do let me know :D
