Trip to the Botanic Gardens
Ok, I was supposed to post this last wk itself, but due to circumstances beyond my control it got pushed forward to today. Well basically, last wk saturday I was called to meet in school for my cca's oreintation ( I'm in the art and phtography club in case you're wondering..). Together with about only a handful of seniors and alot of fellow year ones, we were off to the botanic gardens to have some hands-on experimenting with the cameras themselves! Hahas, I had always wanted to get my hands on one of those expensive camera models..it sure is a dream come true!!
The one-way bus trip took abt 45 mins or so. Once we got there, we made our way pst the visitor centre towards the garden itself, occassionally stopping by to take in the whole atmosphere and all. We got to see some photography artwokrs on display which showcased quite a range of flora and fauna which i didn't know existed in the first place.
Of course, before I could start running ard the place shooting away with my camera, al of us had to partake in a bit of icebreaker games. Man, frankly I already had had enough with these games before...and trust me when i say that it was getting to be a real pain. About an hr of play, numerous collisions and battle-scars later, the seniors introduced the types of cameras we would be handling and also their varied functions. It was quite alot of info at one go, and i thought i was gonna be lost. Later, we were all split into grps of 4 to 5 and had the chance to go ard the place and start taking pictures with our new-found "toys". Along with the cameras used by the club, I brought my own too :)
One of the seniors who just loves the cameras!
En route along the walkway...
My grp members...
One of the many eateries present in the place...
refreshing...
They're everywhere!!
Peace.Quiet.Solitude.
I spy with my little eye...some swans...
Photographers @ work...so keep it down!!
"So how does the picture look like?"
Two seniors, together with our teacher-in-charge, checking to see whether if we missed anything out along the way on the map...
Last minute packing up before leaving the place...man he's a real pro at this
and just before leaving...
Couldn't resist taking a picture of this, don't ask why...
...and with all of that done, I headed for home while the others went for lunch at tanglin mall. Boy, I reached home at 1 pm and fell asleep the next min. What a day...

I know this sounds very, very cliched, but it feels as though only yesterday that the long 3 months break had started...and now school's gonna start tomorrow! I don't know about you people, but I feel as though I have lost my touch with school and anything related to it. Quite frankly, this feeling felt good for awhile. I mean, you don't want to keep thinking about school during the whole 3 months now do you? Sure the 3 months were all fine and dandy...
I managed to get into the gaming zone for once, and used my computer like some madman. The first few weeks went like this, and after abt 4 weeks of non-stop gaming, I fell ill. Yea, kinda deserved it too. Of course, during my short ill-period, I was able to appreciate the finer things in life. By that, I don't mean spending time talking to trees and stuff like that. No. That'd drive me nuts more than it would drive the trees, so just spare them for now. I just wanted to spend some alone-time with myself. I don't know why but I just did. You know, where you would just sit down and end up staring into space and beyond, who knows? I always used to do that in school, not that anyone noticed. Ah well, but I was mostly seeking solitude if that's what you wanna call it. This was best acheived by going through a few days without using the television, the computer, the phone...
Aww who am I kidding here? The solitude stuff worked wonders and iI recovered fast. Thank gdness...but the downside was that I went back to my daily routine of bustng my brain cells for some mindless hours at the computer. Then I decided to go back to blogging again, and since been trying to keep up the pace here. Hence, I didn't blog too much everyday, I mean c'mon ! Who would wanna read the same stuff in posts over and over again?!
In short my 3 months were blown to bits by my immense laziness, ultimate disregard to authority (namely my parents), and boredom. Before I knew it, the results are all out, and now I've to go to school again...
WAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have no idea why such things keep happening, but just when school mis about to start, I find alot of things to occupy myself with again. I so wanna listen to my new "American Rock Legends" CD which I had gotten a few weeks back. I so wanna play all of my games again ( don't ask why...it just is). I so wanna read the books I borrowed from the library.
Argh! Sometimes I just wish time would slow down or go back in reverse. Sometimes, I just wish I wasn't such a nut to waste my time every now and then.
