Photographer wanna be …

Bukan photographer tak suka bergambar ke? This is what I got from my fren when I keep asking them to take my photo using my DSLR …

Well… CORRECTION .. I am NOT a photographer (yet :P).. I am a photographer –wanna-be …. and yes I like to take photo .. and I like my photo to be taken too… sebagai bahan bukti .. that I have been there.. becoming model-wanna-be juga la sikit2.. manatau … har3….but seriously ….its not wrong, right ? (perasan!!)

I was told to find a photographer BF .. so .. here to my BFF … sapat2 p bikin tu passport… So we can take each other photo… I am very sure u know how I want my pix to be .. but 1st thing 1st , we must travel together!!!

Traveling is not easy if all alone … mesti tiada pix of own face .. scenery melulu jak tu … ..lau begitu itu .. bagus bili postcard seja ..kan ? lagi santik ..and its by professional … nda buang karan & money… ke3…

Traveling berduet also hard .. nanti u take my pix, I take urs… lau honeymoon… mcm p honeymoon sendiri.. so to R&C..… for ur next travel plan… I am here .. to capture ur moment TOGETHER…. where are we going again? Macau? My back is pack already ….

So , what is the best way to get our face IN the photo while traveling alone? Get someone we don’t know to take the photo ? use tripod? well, I heard that is it not secure to do so, as I was told that the someone might just run away wit our camera … plus .. do u trust that barely-know-person to pigang our cam ? and using tripod is so leceh.. barat tu mo bawa… and masa setup tu … skali org langgar … lagi la haru biru merah jingga and all the colour will turn out….

Any tips?

Singapore Trip Details Part 1

When I purchased the air ticket to Singapore, I dont know what to expect. I don’t have any plan in mind . All I wanted to do is to get away somewhere not in town.

So it’s happened that when I am browsing the tigerairways.com there have a promotion going on. And it’s happened that I was yahooing wit my dear ex-hsemate , Eda (when I was in Malacca back in 2000). She work and live in Singapore. So its all begin from there….

Well, actually I have planned to go to Singapore after I saw the photos from my dear ex-hsemate , Chelven’s honeymoon trip..thank to u … for the flower at ur wedding day and the honeymoon pix..

I have been persuading ( forcing in fact) my another ex-housemate, Anderia to go with me .. but that plan was back in march. When she said we could not make it , I stop planning .. ( no more planning ahead for me .. never been lucky in that planning stage …..) until the Monday 27 April – i have confirmed the tickets.

From there on, I have been googling about places of interest in Singapore. mcm banyak jak ni place to go … but I don’t have much time – I only have exactly 2 day and 1 night there.

What to do and go there ? I asked Eda . She said , when I am there , then we plan!

At the same time, I was too busy at work … network connection is not helping me to look for more info… aaa.. ..belasah jak la ..sudah beli tiket pun …. bila lagi right?

Erk.. I have not convert my money yet … current exchange rate is RM 1 = S$2.40… that time .. I begin to worry .. sukup ka ni tusin ni … according to chelven , S$500 is enuff… but Eda said S$1000.00 would be great…

Went to the bank to verify about the usage of credit card charges .. and that is the time I realize my cc expiring on MAY 2009 .. that is on the date im leaving … another drama for me … I called the bank in KK to asked about my new card , fuhhh… it is ready for collection .. lucky me!

On Thursday, got off from work …went to bus station , took a bus , reached kk ..straight to Maybank – collected my cc, change SOME money .. the figure getting smaller .. uhuk3… and got myself to the airport … was very anxious ..

went very very sleepy when I got to the plane… I fall asleep right after we took off… mula2 tu jak berdebar2 jantung ….. flight all by myself … 1st time ni …

I was waken up by the air stewardess when we are about to land sing .. haaa… baru la ni jantung mcm mo tercabut … what if Eda is not there.. what would I do? Bagagar sikijap ni …

Landed safely in sing , a very long walk to the exit door.. gila la…. Mcm round 10 padang ni ( padang at my skol jak la..:P) i arrive at gate 1 .. and i didnt really count how many gate they have .. but it for sure more than 6 gate.…

I became more anxious at the immigration counter … my eyes is was like .. where is she .. where is she … then I saw one hand waving at me … yey !! she is there. And another ye is I got a 1 stamp on my passport .. < 1 mission achieved> wink wink…

Even it was 1:20 am at that time , Sing is still bright … tapi .. no time for any plan just yet .. eda and I where just too sleepy …..big day is tomorrow…. Took a cab , when to Eda hse. She told me she stays in a Flat. Government flat she said- nothing fancy. But when I got to her hse.. it was HUGE!!!! I can’t imagine how it will look like for a condo there…

well.. this is my morning 1 story at Sing. more story coming later…
