Photography, now a shared passion

Ever since i picked up photography early this year, i have been stuck to it. Thou i admit it is a never dying, never ending hobby, it has become a passion for me.

What happened is i let my gf have my cam and i got a Rebel XTi, so now we can shoot together.

Ever since she held it the first time, she has been snapping away, bringing it around with her everywhere she goes. I guess i have poisoned her.

Thanks to the new close friends i have made over time, i managed to gather a few of them last saturday. A total of 10 of us were there to shoot and to share.

Venue: Changi Beach (aka Changi Broadwalk Point)
Theme: sunrise
Time: 0630am

Time of arrival: 7am haha.. this was a little expected due to some miscommunication and well my bus came late. So we rushed from Toa payoh to Changi.

Made new friends, Hakim (feek's friend)- came with a Nikon D70.
others who came were my gf, shan, feek, hung kiat, francis, ryan and our very own model, Ivan who got poisoned by the D200 haha...

Even our very own canon Rebel XTi user, shan also got poisoned...

i agree the shutter sounds much better than our plastic sounding canon cams. yes at times i too am confused which to stick to. Jump ship to Nikon or stick to Canon? But since i already have Canon, i decided to stick to it. Dun wanna waste too much money on this... Lens are a killer.

Thanks to all who came and i know we all had fun...

Felt so good.

Life has been tough lately but i know God has been kind. Work although busy and all, we have our moments of happiness and fun. I make it a point to enjoy work now. Realizing that getting upset and all that won't do anyone good. smiling and cheering up others DOES make a difference in anyone's lives. Really..

My 1 week of annual leave was good. Didn't travel overseas because im saving up for my degree next year. So i spent my time here in singapore. no, i didnt stay home all day, in fact i went out early in the morning. How much happier can it get when i can spend the first day with my girl. swim and badminton was fun (although she injured her thumb)- which of course has healed by now. I spent most of the rest of the week meeting up and catching up with old friends from army. i am indeed happy to have met them, also making new friends in this week too. I realized too that being happy and all does has it's advantages, it makes others happy too... WOW!...

Also took some this time to take a few more pictures with friends and all... And of course COMEX!~~~ bought me self a 1TB external hard disk drive and a lousy 2.5" screen protector which i totally screwed up. Also got my brother a printer the last day was TIGHT man... i tell you squeezing is like so normal on that day. As compared to day 1 i felt to claustrophobic. hmmm but luckily im kinda big sized so passing by others isn't so bad...

I wanna share bout today actually. As few of you know i sing in church and i have a small group of other church members who have wonderful voices... so i joined to learn and improve my own voice too. They are so fun to be with and helped me a lot by giving encouragement and supporting me in all i do. they even pray for me and my gf... which is so sweet... Thanks guys...! Welll today we met to learn how to sing various parts of a song titled 'Trust his heart' if you like you can check the video out in Youtube.com... nice song and singing in parts was so fun... enjoyed it so much today. Got them fortune cookies from Precious moments and a gift for Moses whose bdae was last Saturday...

So i hope the rest of the week goes well jus like the previous days.

Am glad my dear friend Hung and Francis bought their new DSLR Canon 450D... They seem to love it even thou they are still learning bout it... seek to improve oursleves and show what we like best to others....

hmmm cant wait hahah
