I have finally bought my DSLR which I have been wanting it since forever.

My passion for photography goes as far as  I was a primary school student. I remembered vividly during the CCA orientation session. Every CCA had their own booth and we had to basically go to their respective booth and get our forms filled up.

I was standing the middle of the hall and glancing through all the CCA booth. Students were chattering and moving from booth to booth trying to learn about each CCAs. The photography club seems to entice me the most. I scoffed and walked towards the badminton booth instead.

As much as I love photography, I didn’t join it because as far as I know, that photography club was lame. Students will be given cameras and taking photos of school events. For example, if we were having a children’s day concert in the hall. You would  tend to see students around the hall taking pictures and what not.

2 words. Fuck that.
I’m not doing it.

Did I like wrote my entire life story regarding photography?

DSLR has always been expensive. They take amazing pictures. However, DSLR prices are going down and becoming more affordable. I decided to take this opportunity to get myself a DSLR.

I head down to the Sony Style store in Wisma Atria. My mum sponsored me $300 and I got myself the A500. In my opinion, the A500 is far better valued compared to the A55o. I bought the camera and the lens kit. It cost $1,299.

Vertical Grip

I got the vertical grip and 8GB memory card as free gifts.

Since I was at Wisma Atria and ION is just beside it. I decided to head down to Sephora and pick up a new foundation from MAC Cosmetics.

The images above were taken with my Sony DSLR A500.

I wanted the MAC Face and Body but it’s a mac pro item in Singapore. I got the Mineralize SatinFinish instead. It is expensive. It cost $61 for a bottle of liquid that is like 30ML.

Anyways, it was a great day. I absolutely love my DSLR and I love my new foundation though I still wish I got the MAC Face and Body. The following are just some random shows I did with my new awesome DSLR.

I've always wanted to do this kind of shots.

My eyes ain't close. I'm just looking down.

I’m thinking of starting a new blog where it’s strictly limited to posting of photos daily or opening a deviantart account or a flickr account!

Recently, I acquire a certain product that promise whiter teeth. As usual, I was quite skeptical about it.

But lord behold, after six hours of using it, my teeth is definitely whiter!

As the days go by, I’ve been using it and my teeth has been so white to the extent that the whiteness looks fake. Nonetheless, I LOVE IT.

I’m in love with the whiteness and of course utterly happy.

I have always ponder if there is a flaw with Singapore’s education system. Do you think we study too much and did not have ample chance to apply what we have learn to real life settings? That is how I feel.

I had an opportunity lately to apply knowledge I picked up in school into real life settings. Recently, a good friend of mine that goes by the name of Kamelia, hey kamelia! a shout for you, you can check her online portfolio here and her blog here and her twitter here and her tumblr here. I’ll stop, I guess there’s no need to post her facebook profile or myspace profile or her address hah!

As I was saying, we decided to open a little business venture. Hey, don’t look down on us, everyone start small somewhere. I’ll release more information about this when we have finalized things. I’m glad I’m doing something useful in my life at this age.

Since I’m in Information Technology, I learn about computers including managing of databases. I managed to apply what I learned in school into this little business venture by drawing the database schema, normalized it into it’s third form and initialized it. Basically, I created a database which will store our customer and their order’s information.

The database is hosted off a server. I’m accessing it via HeidiSQL. In my opinion, this is better than keeping our records in a Microsoft Excel document and emailing each other to keep ourselves updated.

Hence, I feel happy that I did learn something useful after all in school.

On a side note, I am elated that I finally managed to upgrade my Macbook and my iMac to the lastest installment of the Mac OS X. Mac OS X Snow Leopard, 10.6.X and being a makeup enthusiast myself, I finally managed to grab my first makeup item from the famous MAC Cosmetics.

School has been amazing. I prefer my new class so much more. Lastly, I finally managed to give my blog a much needed new look!
