Sakura~!

Today, I collected my G51Jx-A1 from ASUS and I took many photos of my new darling. Oh she's such a beauty. All the extra lights and random shenanigans.



Yes, I was at Akibanana today. Today, I ordered Mixed Fruit Tea. We(basically, Darrell, Justin and myself) were served by Mikan-sama. Two teaspoons of sugar, thank you. Darrell redeemed a ADDICTION for Justin. Whats ADDICTION? Well, its deep fried salted chicken skin. Very unhealthy indeed. Also before Akibanana, was at Maxwell food centre. I ate good chicken rice, the rice was nice and tasty and surprisingly not oily, the chicken was very tender. I would give the meal an 8 out of 10. Though it was slightly expensive. Back to Akibanana, the mixed fruit tea is indeed an interesting choice. When Mikan-sama first poured the tea, it was pink. 10 minutes later, it was 2 shades darker. Progressively, the tea turned from pink to deep red. Awesome tea. Next time, I will try Earl Grey?



After leaving Akibanana, we went to satisfy our ramen cravings. 7 North Canal road. It took 3 guys almost 30mins to find one ramen shop. We walked and walked till we reached out destination. Hot and sticky. We ordered three bowls of ramen, one salt, one soy-sauce and one miso. went home after that. More pictures of my G51Jx-A1.



Last picture includes my beloved Hikaru from the SUNRISE PV!

So the past week has been pretty good for me. Exam results were released on Wednesday and so here are mine:

DE502A / THE REVEALING EYE IN DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY / 2/ B+
EE3115 / ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY / 4 / A
MM1401 / THERMOFLUIDS I / 4 / A

Cumulative GPA: 3.705

Its pretty okay, I guess. Need to work harder next semester. Also gave ASUS a call over my laptop. Officially, its been almost 5 weeks since I last saw my laptop. Longest 5 weeks of my life. I never want to repeat this 5 weeks ever in my life. Anyway, Jimmy(the guy I was told to call) told me to expect my replacement somewhere next week and sue to a shortage of parts for my G1Sn, they are giving me a brand new G51Jx. I really don't know whether I should be delighted or what.

P.S. As of this posting, I will be checking with ASUS again on Monday. More photos will be up as soon as post-processing is complete. Expect next post to be longer than usual?

R.I.P Jasmine You, I know its late but I just realised how awesome you are.
I fell in love with their songs 'The Reverant Choir' and 'Seranade'.

So like three days have passed without much incident. Pretty nice three days I must say myself. Very relaxing few days. Swimming with Darrell. Chillout at the clubroom. Homemade lunch, which consisted of beef stew(which turned into beef porridge) and tuna fish sandwiches today.Tomorrow will be karaoke and dango.

Listening to: ダウト - SUNRISE.

I love their outfits. They are always so pretty.

And so over the weekend, I had a packed schedule to keep me occupied from the morning all the way to the night. On saturday, I went on a photoshoot with Chibi(Nette) and the gang. We went to Punggol Beach for the shoot. So I woke up pretty late on the day itself and was late by about and hour(Sorry to the gang). When I arrived at Punggol, it felt like a totally different country. Seriously, it is in the middle of nowhere. Houses there are sparse and there was flat grassland EVERYWHERE. Waited for the cosplayers to do their thing, basically make-up, wear wig and that kind of things. Meanwhile, chatted with Clinton about stuff while waiting. Oh yeah, Clinton was on his first cosplay photoshoot so it was a pretty new experiece for him. After the cosplayers did their thing, we set off for Punggol Beach. Took a walk to the bus stop and then waited for a bus to Punggol Beach. Punggol Beach is like some super deserted beach. Basically, the main feature is a single jetty. There is also a police station, vending machine, ice-cream man(Yes, I felt he was a landmark there) and a beach. It was a worderful place for a photoshoot personally. There were many different scenes and the sky was just very different not your usual bright blue sky. There was the beach, rocky outcrops, some undergrowth and grass patches. Therefore different pictures to play with. For this occasion, I also managed to borrow Darrell's Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens. The lens was wonderful. Though I was mostly shooting between f/2.2 and f/2.8, the lens still gave me an outstanding depth-of-field. The autofocus was quite good but wasn't perfect. I had a few out-of-focus shots but mostly still salvagable. I think I have fallen completely in love with fast prime lenses. They are such wonderful pieces of equipment. Anyway, I will be posting some pictures later in this post.

Today, Clinton and I went to Black-Technology at Bedok for a NERF tounament. No pictures this time because I was participating. Game style was a 3-on-3 team deathmatch. Points were counted per game won. My team consisted of Clinton, Zinv and myself. We finished 4th or 5th amongst the 7 teams with 2 wins and 4 losses. Not bad I would say since its been a long while since I last went for a war. It was pretty exciting thoughout except I wasn't very comfortable using Zinv's Raider as I was not used to the way of firing the weapon. The weather was very hot and now my skin is like red. Probably sunburnt but I had a great time so its all cool. Kenji came over to my house today to collect his bow. We sat down and talked for quite long. He was pretty interested in some of my house's random items. Especially the pogo stick(Yes, I own one). Okay, will be stopping here for now. I feel that this month will be filled with posts so stay tuned.

Shall I shoot?

Yes?

Depression.

Far out, far away.

A gift from me to you.

Evening stroll.

Beyond the skies.

Devious plot.

Above and beyond.

Brothers-in-arms.

Staring at the sun.

Happy thoughts.
