I'm so elated!
I just received my letter to go back for College day to receive my Service Award.
The last two years of hard work had definitely not gone to waste, and surely a sense of recognition for myself. Last year my seniors cum mentors Jun Sen and Xing Quan got it, and this year it'll be King, Chee, Pres and I.
Just wanna spur you little ones on- your efforts for serving the club and school will never be unappreciated. Do the club proud, kies? ^^

Bejeweled heart
I found you sitting, stoned, on the ground outside the abandoned hospital
Bits and pieces missing but still in one piece
The heat was oppressive, yet there you sat, soaking it in with ease
Fake gems whiter than snow and redder than the reddest apple
Not quiet whole yet not quite broken apart
It is hot, but I am trembling from the sheer eeriness of the place
Everyone with a camera has figuratively shot you to death
But I don’t want to be just someone who looked down upon you,
Beheld your temporary beauty from above
Then strode away for another picture-worthy scene
In my eyes a shutter clicks, then I realize, thy hidden beauty is pristine
Bejeweled heart, you are almost an epitome of love
There was a time when he said I love you, and she said I love you too
But that era has passed, as is the hospital that has gone into almost eternal rest
The missing pieces in you make you look like a half-disfigured face
There are many hearts sprayed across the walls
Blue, red, and even black
Some scrawled in childish infatuation, some with unabashed wantonness
And yet bejeweled heart, in you there is some uniqueness
Which I, unlike the rest, must deal with some tact
I know not what brought about your fall
To the ground
The shutter clicks and the image stays in my mind
Like you will stay on at the place you were left in
A relic
Of the past, of the time when you once gleamed, fake gems and all
I must leave you where I found you
It is not right to harbour a broken heart in my pocket
Bejeweled heart or not.

Thank you all for supporting the outing today! I'm very happy. In fact, I'm in a state of euphoria. *high on jolly shandy* (nah, I'm not that lousy a drinker LAH.)
As usual, no photos for another two weeks because I have reverted back to my FM2 whilst my D40 is in safe hands of a friend.
However, a brief recount of what happened today for those who could not make it for the outing~
We trooped into OCH, a strength of twenty people storming into the main entrance of the sorry excuse of a hospital. What seemed to be scary and creepy last September no long looked scary and creepy anymore. After all, the place ought to be scared of us. ROAR! We'll shoot the place to death. Which I think the kiddies did. (I only finished a miserable roll of Velvia 100.)
I managed one group shot at OCH with about 15 people in it... Say the truth, I did a double exposure in the last shot to create a ghost effect. I hope that will turn out nicely like i wanted it to be. The old birds got together in the watch house thingy at the top of the ambulance bay and did a nice group shot. "Old bird exclusive shot", according to Xing Quan.
King and I managed to get onto the flooded roof top, and the view up there was superb. In terms of military watch out point. In any case, OCH was a military base before it was converted to become a hospital because of it's strategic location on top of a hill overseeing the whole of Changi Beach. Can see all the big big small small ships and boats. The way up was kinda difficult too, because it was the kind of roof top access metal ladder through a skinny column and when I reach the top, gravity was pulling back at me more than usual. Both of us having to balance our weight with a cam and bag slung behind, the ladder stopped shot at our waist when we got all the way up the ladder. We had to grab some flimsy piece of wood and the floor of the rooftop to get on. It was still flooded as ever, but we hecked and got on anyway. We got our shoes wet. Urgh. I swear if I ever slip off that darned ladder, I'd definitely die. Oh well. If I break the 15-30mm lens don't mind can cremate with me, and remember to give me a 12 flash gun salute hor. =P
After we left OCH, we went down the hill onto Hendon Road and there was this high wall of about 2 metres high and I had this idea to fit everyone in for a "normal" group shot. In the end, five of us ended up scaling that wall to pose for the group shot, with the occasional passing gaping pedestrians. And not to forget, wide eyed uncle pointing at us from inside the bus as it passed. Of course, we waved like heroes of Iwo Jima. Jun Sen managed to get up SOC style- which is- running, jumping, planting both fists onto wall and PULL. He got a cut on his arm, but our armor infantry boy will do just fine. Vicky's was a little more interesting. She wanted Zheng Hui to give her a leg up, but in the end I grabbed her hips and shoved her as high I could manage, cheerleading style. Mine was... let's say... it got both Vicky and Xiuqi laughing.
*blush, smiles sheepishly*
I put both hands on the top of the wall, climbed up step by step like rock climbing, gave myself a pull, and ended with my stomach on the high wall. I was stuck. I was flailing my arms and legs, trying to "bounce" my way onto the wall. In the end, I screamed for help with my arms and legs still flailing in the air, and Vicky admitted she was hoping she had a cam in her hands at that time. Well... Vicky managed to grab one of my legs as I swung it towards her direction and I rolled onto the wall. Desperate times require desperate measures. I have no idea how Zheng Hui and Xing Quan managed to get onto the wall, but the five of us definitely didnt let the opportunity to cam whore go by. And neither did a few of them let the opportunity of taking our pics to go by. A nice jogger helped us take a few shots despite we were all ready to go with the cam set up on the tripod with the timer winded down. Unfortunately, Yun Su who tried as hard as she could didnt manage to make it up the wall.
The way down was definitely more exciting than the way up. Of course it involved jumping and ass-planting-into-grass-with-knees-that-just-simply-gave-way-to-gravitational-acceleration. After all the guys jumped, Vicky grabbed me in terror. I just jumped before I let her freak me out. Instead of landing in a half squat with the spring of my thighs and shins, my heavy ass planted into the grass first. Ooof. Boy, the grass was soft. Vicky came down next. She's a fine girl who's up for dares.
We left for Kelong Walk along Changi beach but the sky didnt do any good for us today. The sun set into the clouds, but I was content to have seens the kids and kiddies have fun chatting with each other. And there was an apparent inquiry about Zheng Hui's sexual orientation. HMmmmmmmm.... Hahahaha...
Ok that's all from me folks~
Will upload the group shots when I get all my film developed and scanned =)

*pinches Booby Hair in excitement*
I was chatting with my dear junior Booby Hair about this coming Sunday outing, and an idea for our group shots have materialised in my head. Hope it's gonna be fun.
Since our Perth trip we've been trying to do these "HEROES" type of group shots (mainly scattered models doing different things in the frame looking very cool at the same time), but we were only about 70% successful because we were either bugged to death by the flies (RAWR!), tired to death from the scale of wave rock, or frozen to death in the crazy evening winds (ms koh was hiding behind me, the human windshield)... or the group was simply too big to have everybody in the frame nicely.
SO.
I was thinking of the original idea King actually had before the Perth trip- to have shots of groups of 5... Forming 4 groups for this coming outing. Then each group gets to choose where they want their shots to be taken, HEROES style.
A few spots came to mind yesterday: driveway up Old Commando School, back end of OCH, beach, changi village, jetty, front end of OCH or even in the wards of OCH itself...
*CHASES BOOBY HAIR*
Ciao~
MEETING PLACE: CHANGI VILLAGE BUS TERMINAL (BESIDE THE HAWKER CENTRE)
TIME: 2.00PM SHARP SHARP SHARP
FOOTWEAR: SHOES OR SANDALS (No slippers because there will be many many glass shards on the floor of OCH)
DRESSING: ANYTHING U FEEL COMFY IN, BIKINI ALSO CAN. (BIRTHDAY SUIT NOT ENCOURAGED. IT'S ILLEGAL.) As long as you think you'll look glam enough in your group shots =P
BRING: WATER. CAP, IF YOU'RE SUNOPHOBIC. MOST IMPORTANTLY, CAMERAS!

I just realised Perth is a common place for Singaporeans to have their wedding photos taken while browsing through some of Singapore's wedding photographers' blogs such as JoHo, Yu Hsin and William Chua. And then I started browsing through some perth photos to see what are some of the shots ppl took at the places we went last year.
HEY! Weren't we supposed to do this in Perth?
Speaking about getting sand in your... erm... and someone'sdream nightmare about getting pushed off the side and lying in her own pool of blood.
Familiar? (but i think my shot of a rock was still nicer.)
I like this shot
And this shot looks strangely familiar... PPC's collection got smth liddat one...
We all know where this was taken! Just take a look at the gallery again... and you'll find some similar points.
That's all from me for another senseless and pointless post... Cant put up the wedding pics cos they were in flash... either that I'm too lazy...

Quent's photo reminds me of my own photo taken sometime back near Ms Lai's car during the canon workshop (er... the workshop was not near Ms Lai's car, the leaves were... workshop in container room)... Quent wasn't there so he didn't see it... what's funnier is... we both gave it the same name... diao... hahaha... what can i say?

*Drum Roll... Cymbal clash*
The winner of the $35 Olympus tripod is....
EUNICE CHAN!!!!!!!!!!
since no one else joined the contest -.-
well, u identified the right step but your explanation isn't quite right.
the flaw lies in:
"When n = k + 1,
There are (k+1) horses. Remove 1 horse e.g. horse A. Then we have k horses. From assumption, the k horses have the same colour say olour 1. Replace horse B (of colour 1) in this remaining set with horse A so the number of horses is still k. From assumption, the k horses have the same colour 1. Now put back horse B and we have (k+1) horses of the same colour 1."
Now, he proof is based on ONE fundamental principle. Comparing Horse A and Horse B with the remaining k - 1 horses (let's call the set of k - 1 horses S).
So,
colour of horse B = colour of S = colour of horse A
=> they all have same colour.
Now, the proof falls apart if k - 1 = 0 i.e. when k = 2, because there is NO basis for comparison. so when k = 2, we have 2 horses, horse A and horse B. horse A is the same colour as itself, horse B is the same colour as itself and since S is empty set, there is NO COMMON colour => horses A and B may have different colours.

MAYDAY, MAYDAY!!!!
King and I walked from Raffles place to Chinatown to Outram park, then took train to City Hall and walked up Benjamin Shears bridge. One word- Tired.
First we had lunch had Hock Lam. WHA the one at China Sq is more ex than the one at Purvis lorr. After lunch we went to see the old old old old temple opposite Far East Square but it was so overwhelmed with joss smoke that I stood outside to wait. King said it says no photography inside. I had this idea to take a pic of the twirling joss sticks with the shadows, but too much urban clutter.
Then I said I wanna go Smith Street to take some shots, so we trudged there. After taking some shots (as you will see later), King pointed at the quaint looking apartments near Outram and went "HEY! CAN WE GO THERE?!?" so we went, and unwittingly went up Pearl's Hill and took a walk around the hill. We didnt take any photos up there, but it was a really nice walk. It's quiet and quite a nice hideout. Hahaha.
We then decided to go up Benjamin Sheares bridge. We walked to Suntec, then took a super long time to find the staircase up the Rochor exit. We had to walk through some construction site, trudge through loads of sticks and twigs and dead leaves, then up the staircase, and by the time we had to start our ascend, I was so tired and my shins were super tired and stretched and *WILLPOWER WILLPOWER WILLPOWER, GEAR ONE!!! GEAR ONE!! UPPITTEE UPPITTEE UP!!!* so by the time we reached the top for a good view of the Flyer, we slumped on the side of the pedestrian walkway to catch a breather. We stoned up there for quite long before coming down again. It was nice, soaking in the evening sun~
Photos photos-
Taken outside the chinese temple
Taken outside an old chinese school for chinese immigrants' children, now a chinese restaurant
Taken at Chinatown, a little quaint corner which had many quaint shops. This is their opening hours
Took this at Smith Street, nice hor? Got use ND filter, that's why the colours are slightly nicer and less glaring due to hot sun
Took this at Pearl's Hill Park
This is the WW2 monument at City Hall, nice and rusty colours
Shot on Benjamin Sheares bridge
All shot with my D40, with occasional help of King's super duper wide and nice (and expensive) 14mm lens...

After lunch we went to see the old old old old temple opposite Far East Square but it was so overwhelmed with joss smoke that I stood outside to wait. King said it says no photography inside. I had this idea to take a pic of the twirling joss sticks with the shadows, but too much urban clutter.
Then I said I wanna go Smith Street to take some shots, so we trudged there. After taking some shots (as you will see later), King pointed at the quaint looking apartments near Outram and went "HEY! CAN WE GO THERE?!?" so we went, and unwittingly went up Pearl's Hill and took a walk around the hill. We didnt take any photos up there, but it was a really nice walk. It's quiet and quite a nice hideout. Hahaha.
We then decided to go up Benjamin Sheares bridge. We walked to Suntec, then took a super long time to find the staircase up the Rochor exit. We had to walk through some construction site, trudge through loads of sticks and twigs and dead leaves, then up the staircase, and by the time we had to start our ascend, I was so tired and my shins were super tired and stretched and *WILLPOWER WILLPOWER WILLPOWER, GEAR ONE!!! GEAR ONE!! UPPITTEE UPPITTEE UP!!!* so by the time we reached the top for a good view of the Flyer, we slumped on the side of the pedestrian walkway to catch a breather. We stoned up there for quite long before coming down again. It was nice, soaking in the evening sun~

lai lai lai chewrens, join the following contest and stand a chance to win a $35 Olympus TRIPOD!!!!!
Spot the error in the following proof:
Claim: All horses are of the same colour
Proof by Mathematical Induction:
Let P(n) be the statement "n horses are of the same colour" for positive integers n
When n = 1, there is only 1 horse and one horse is of the same colour as itself.
Therefore, P(1) is true.
Assume that P(k) is true i.e. "k horses are of the same colour"
To prove: P(k+1) is also true i.e. "(k+1) horses are of the same colour"
When n = k+1,
There are (k+1) horses. Remove 1 horse e.g. horse A. Then we have k horses. From assumption, the k horses have the same colour say Colour 1. Replace horse B (of colour 1) in this remaining set with horse A so the number of horses is still k. From assumption, the k horses have the same colour 1. Now put back horse B and we have (k+1) horses of the same colour 1!
Thus, P(k) is true => P(k+1) is also true!
Since P(1) is true and P(k) is true => P(k+1) is also true, by Mathematical Induction, P(n) is true for all positive integers n.

Now now... babies... some advice...
1. DO NOT call PPC and me "Mr and Mrs Cheng" -.-
2. DO NOT... i repeat... DO NOT CLIMB SCHOOL GATE!
3. It's A.V.A.I.L.A.B.L.E not A.L.A.I.V.A.B.L.E... LOL
4. pronounce PHOTOGRAPHY properly... everybody repeat after Cherish.. "ferTORgrefi" not "fotograhfee"
5. When I am lecturing and walk up the aisle with a mic looking for someone to answer my question and you were originally sitting along the aisle, DON'T SUDDENLY scoot inwards the row... I WILL NOTICE.
6. After PE, pls DON'T enter the club room... you notice... our room is the only one in college with NO windows.
7. Treasurer: put more money in the kitty box... it will grow. If it doesn't work, ask Grandma Eunice to put it in for you.
8. QM: If you find Canon lens missing... don't panic... I probably took it... =P... so call me before PPC scolds you... haha
9. Project Manager: When planning outdoor trips... choose easily accessible places... climbing longkang is not a good idea.
10. Finally, do not break anything because people will remember it FOREVER! LOL

yesterday after our photoshoot in T12 PPC giggled goofily (u all can picture this right?)
PPC: Eh Ann, wanna go see our new babies*?
me: babies? (i thought he meant lens baby... diao...)
PPC: the new exco!
me: Oh...? okok hee =D
*Note that we call Quentin they all "our kids" and Eliot n gang "our babies"? hahaha
So we walked to the club room but not before hijacking some leftover food from council investiture tea at garden =P
we opened the door and saw our "babies" perched in front of the monitors in one row... really like in a hospital nursery... LOL
PPC: where's Eliot??!!
everyone: er... he went outside..
PPC: i want to talk to you guys but Eliot is not here??? *act angry* how can? I never had to ask, "Where's Quentin?" cos Quentin is ALWAYS here!!
haha
so well, we had the chit chat session and Eliot was handed a piece of paper by Quentin they all with a "list of things to do" and it was in bulleted form, single-line spacing and it overflowed to page 2... i could feel Eliot go -_______-||| LOL
some of the advice given to the babies..
Quentin: this is roughly the time u START meeting (it was about 4:30pm)
someone else: ya... n it will end 3 hours later
quentin: when u no longer see light at the bottom of the door... that's when u can go home
LOL
quentin: when u want to tell Mr Cheng something, email him ONE WEEK before, sms him 2 DAYS before then call him on the actual day to remind him... that's how it works
PPC: hey! that's how it works! but it WORKS!!! =D
hahaha... all the best, "our babies"!

What's In A Name
Hm... I was thinking... if u didn't get President post... it might be because of your name...
1. It doesn't sound ATAS (high class)
2. It doesn't remind people of someone/something famous
such as...
KINGSTON CF cards
QUENTIN Tarantino (famous director)
George ELIOT (pseudonym of famous 19th century writer Marian Evans. Last time, way way before Mah Tah wore shorts, people didn't think highly of female writers so she used a male fake name 'pseudonym')
Btw, did you hear the councillor fumble over Quentin's name? "All CG Reps are to meet Qu..Qu..en Quentin and Cherish..."
LOL
