Crazy day and photographs

I have been bad today. I skipped class this morning cos I overslept.

And cos I had been SO dead tired yesterday, I actually didn't wanna get up till my friend called, in order to prevent himself from waiting like an idiot for me in the afternoon, while I am still slping like a log at home. Alarms don't seem to work for me when I'm over-exhausted. Not even the loudest one.

It was KTV in the afternoon and a day of photo-taking. What a waste that my friend's cam is spoilt (professional heavy sort, mind you..lol), or else I'll have a great time having a professional take photos for me with professional equipment, while I indulge in self-obsession :S. Perhaps, I can even beat Jiao Jiao at that (if you watched super sunday, you probably caught the episode showing his past, whereby he was so obsessed with himself and his singer-ambition that he got his classmate to take photos of him and "cut an album" for himself, using those ugly pics for his cover).

Nahz, I'm not gonna cut an album..oh pls. I sing like shit. And I really did (I always do) when I was at Partyworld.

Someone told me before that Partyworld's cheapest, but doesn't seem like it. My friend and I managed to get free titbits because we had a coupon. Still the bill came up to $18. The drinks are ex though. My pearl milk tea costs $7.50!!!! Goodness...

Apart from horrid singing, it was photo-taking session. My friend started playing with my digicam, and started snapping when I was singing. I look terrible, and the lighting and flash made it worse. I'm having a pimple outbreak....3 ugly red ones..so I look worse than my normal self.

Walked around Chinatown after that. I went there 5 months ago. How fast time flies. Everything was the same, but how I felt was different. The last time I was there, I was damn excited. Took a very lovely photo there then. Even though it wasn't a very sharp one, I still loved it.

My legs were tired, and my friend decided to get his bike. I have NEVER ridden on a motorbike before, and today's my 1st time. I was freaking out initially because I felt very "unprotected"...and I started having wild imaginations of myself falling down from the bike, getting killed on the roads etc. I felt I was putting myself one step closer to death..haha. But my friend assured me that I'll be safe (like as if he noes if anything's gonna happen..you can never predict these things..).

On his bike, he brought me around. I saw places which brought back thoughts, and for a moment, I was keeping quiet. Good thing he didn't realise it. He doesn't know any of my recent happenings, which is good. At least he won't know what I'm thinking about...

Headed for Marina South to watch people play bowling. And it was photos again. We took so many..aiyo..and even went to the arcade to take more! No neoprints or lovegety cards. Just using my digicam. We did stupid poses with guns, cars etc. The pic I loved best was the one we took on some kiddy fire engine..damn cute..lol...

Next, it was to Geylang for dinner. My friend rode through the even number Lorongs to show me where the brothels were. First time seeing it. There were quite a lot of people..dirty-minded ah peks of course..and prostitutes. Anyway, we had Fried Hokkien Mee at one of the Lorongs. I ate quite a lot..2 plates..heez. Then it was home sweet home after dinner. Oh ya! We forgot to take photos of our dinner and of Geylang....I should have taken a few snapshots of brothels..lol.

Talking about photos..I haven't taken it for a long time, and hence, I did not turn on my cam at all. But today, I did. When I was about the keep it after charging it this afternoon, I turned it on to see if my old photos were in there.

To my surprise, the first was a short video. I couldn't even remember that there is one in my cam. I watched it and my tears rolled instantly. It was a silly one filmed when I was studying. I remember being quite irritated by it, and the person who was filming me was giggling when I took my notes to cover my face as the cam came nearer to my face. I miss that giggle. I miss those days..I really really really do...

I went on to look at the other photos. They made me recall days during those few months. Short, yet sweet. Very very sweet....

I'm sure my other friends love looking at their old photos too, and then recalling those days. Photos are meant to help us make these treasured times last forever isn't it? When we forget about it, all we have to do is find those photos, and things we did during then will all come back. We'll be able to experience how we felt during the time when those old photos were taken.

Also, through photos, I guess we can see our growing process. I have seen myself growing from a tiny sausage to the present me. And it's interesting. Serious.

I realised that one can say a lot just by seeing and comparing photos. I compared photos I took in my first yr of uni, and now. Big change. Not sure if others will feel the same when they see it. I still look bubbly (I think) in Yr 1. Then slowly, I started to turn haggard. I look so tired, troubled and worn out in my recent photos. And I think I still do now, even though in all the photos, I still manage to wear a smile.

I do know of people who look bubbly throughout, no matter how stressed they are. Their smile's still as bright as ever, and they are happy everyday. They always look radiant in photos..and I'm envious.

I wonder how my friends feel about their photos...

Maybe we should all go learn and master Adobe Photoshop and be pro like Wendy Cheng. Then we'll always look our best in photos...

Wanna see some photos? Let's see if I can upload them.. pls scroll down the page..
