The little realisation of a city rat
Anybody who came from a metropolis living in Nepal would definitely agree with me- that we had too many distractions back home. We’re constantly online, either updating our status on Facebook or Twitter, checking out new videos and MVs on Youtube, chatting with friends on MSN or Gtalk, downloading the latest albums, reading tech/sports news online, doing research for a new computer/laptop/MP3 player/mobile phone, and watching American TV (seriously guys, stop watching Glee already) on our computers.
We always complain we’re short of time; we don’t have enough time to read a good book, spend time with family and friends, engage in sports, go for short strolls at the park and sometimes we even complain of not having enough time to have proper meals.
Coming to Nepal did make me appreciate many things in life. I don’t mean I’m starting to like it here, but at least I’m taking time out of my annoying office life to enjoy a life here. Like for example. I finally found time to READ. The newspapers here are ridiculously thin, but at least I have time to read them, attempt the daily crossword puzzle, reading a copy of Newsweek, and read through back copies of Archies. I also recently bought a copy of 1984.
I also realise I can see the stars here every night. I could see every constellation clearly (though my astronomy class has failed me) but at least I could tell my mom the thing that looks like a pot is the Big Dipper. We were pointing at the skies so intently at the open air restaurant (New Orleans, excellent steak there) that it got the waiter interested too, in what we were looking at.
The nights are so silent here. The lack of street lights also meant that my bedroom is in complete darkness, even with the curtains drawn open at night when I sleep. I don’t get midnight buses screeching down the street as it was back at home. I could hear my thoughts bounce off walls here.
And I’m spending more time with my mother. Obviously I still don’t enjoy telling her everything that happened in the workday and I get annoyed when she starts cooking dinner the moment I reach home from work (dinner at 5.30pm, CRAZINESS!) but at least now when I get home I’m not facing a blasting TV and her back to me playing solitaire. Sharing a room with her also meant that I no longer can hide behind a door, shut up in my own world, listening to my music and ignoring everybody else.
The availability and variety of food here is ridiculous. There’s no such thing as Gardenia bread here, their version is an incredibly hard and flaky version that makes any Singaporean angry when trying to spread peanut butter on top, because the bread crumbs flake off before the butter actually sticks on top of the bread.
There are no coffee shops or food centres or hawker centres here. Their version of Chinese food here is ridiculous- and that’s also because of the lack of food ingredients. (And obviously, not having had real Chinese cuisine before.) My mother took a few days to find a place that sold garlic, and the vegetables here are all stunted. Pop corn at any level here are plain (not even butter, salty or sweet, they are JUST pop corn) and the cakes at pastry shops are ridiculously unfluffy and not even close to the real thing. My colleague told me a certain shop near office sold decent cheesecake, so one lunch hour we went there, ordered a slice of cheesecake and a slice of chocolate cake, both proven to be extremely disappointing. (It felt more like yoghurt on top than real whipped cheese, and you can forget about the oreos… No such thing… The pastry at the bottom… I rather eat my handphone.)
Then it suddenly struck me how good I had it in Singapore. I could stand next to Singapore river and not smell it. (Try standing next to Bagmati river for 5 minutes, you'd faint.) Hanging out with a few Brits over the weekend did remind me that I was the one who wanted to get out of my safety bubble, I was the one who wanted to see the world. And of course I’m the one suffering now, but I finally know how much we take things for granted in our comfortable lives.
I never finish my food if it’s unpalatable (I remember how my friends used to gauge whether the food was good by how much food I actually put in my mouth in Singapore) and just leave it to order something else, but over here, I’ve learnt not to waste food. Even if you can’t finish it, pack it back for the office dog so that he gets a lunch too. If I can’t finish something because there’s too much, I should pack it and save it as a snack later. Never, never waste food. Because there is always someone or some creature out there who wished that they had a full tummy.
It may be true that a country like Nepal will never be a comfortable stay for city rats like us, but how would one know how far your limits are until you’ve pushed it?

Peeking through the paddy fields
I had an extremely interesting weekend. Thinking that Sunday was a public holiday, I didn't report to work and went hiking through a village walk. Of course it was only towards the end of the work day then did I realise I was supposed to be at work, but nevermind, I had a good time taking in the sights of the countryside.
We hiked for don't know how many kilometres across some few hills (although to us Singaporeans they look more like mountains) and through some villages, crossed some paddy fields. It was wonderful.
You can see the valley in the background, flanked by two mountains.
The paddy field...
The kid on top of the roof...
This little dog was demanding to have his photo taken. Cute little thing.
"What're you staring at, punk?"
Man keeping warm by snoozing in the sun.
This little calf, too, was keeping warm by snoozing in the sun.
And that's me with glorious mother nature.

Nepali Ho!
Last Friday was the launch of the Nepal Tourism Year 2011, and I got a press pass to attend the event at the national stadium in Kathmandu. After the fall of their monarchy, Nepal experienced ten years of civil war. This event was a bid by their government to bring in higher revenues through the tourist dollar.
Of course, I was much more interested in what was OUTSIDE the stadium than what was inside...
I like this shot a lot. How people are just so used to the presence of the armed police force that they just go about their daily lives... If I see the armed police in Singapore, I'd probably be hiding at home.
During the parade, a song Nepali Ho rang through the air in the stadium. It's like the Nepalease version of "Home". The crowd starts to wave their flags and shout "Nepali Ho" with such pride and fervor. Despite ten years of civil war, the Nepali pride still stands strong.

Namaste, from Nepal
Hi guys, I've been in Nepal for 3 out of 150 days now. I am beginning to appreciate our transport system, even though we keep complaining about it. I should probably upload a video some day about public transport here.
I digress.
Anyway, these were some pictures I took from the aeroplane while waiting for landing at the Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport. As there was a lack of parking space at the airport, my plane circled the Nepal skies for about 40 minutes. We saw the 800s, we saw their ridges. It was gorgeous.
See the 8000s in the background. If you spot a small white spec in the middle of the photo, it is actually another commercial flight waiting for landing too.

A little something from Taiwan..
One of the things that you get in Taiwan is that you get to actually see the Sun set behind the horizons, or rather in this case, the mountains (yes, those faint outlines beyond the buildings in the distance are mountains). In Singapore, you will be more likely to see it set behind the HDB flats opposite your house. Although there is plenty of fresh air up in the hilltops, pollution control is pretty bad in the cities, and having a motor vehicle population that is 1.5 times greater than its human population does not help. That contributes to the haze that is characteristic of its cities.
Anyway, here's the photo. It was taken from inside the tour bus while travelling along the expressway from 内湾(Neiwan) to 高雄 (Kaohsiung).

Hellooo photographers! :D today, cheng boon, paul and I went out to the southern ridges to shoot and here are a couple of photos to share. Well, there was rain and stuff, but i still managed to capture a few shots and i find it a good photog destination for all!
there was this butterfly,
and this structure popping out at a playground...
If only i had a macro lens wif mi, the photo would hav been a lot better! Both photos were shot with my 500d and 18-200mm kit lens. Alright, that's all, meanwhile, shoot more often and brush up our photography skills! (:

Passion for Photography
"This is why I love photography. It captures the littlest moments in which we all tend to miss. Like how we always dread going to school/work early in the morning (I'm guilty) but we fail to see the brilliant shade of the sky, the annoyingly pleasant beam from the sun, and the lovely fluffy clouds above.
I love how photography freezes time. Memories tend to fade as time go by, but photographs stay stagnant and still. It reminds us and allow us to reminise. It is that that makes it so unique, special, one of a kind.
I love how I look back at my baby photos and be amazed at how much I grew, how I developed, how I celebrated my birthdays. Then I would laugh when I see a younger version of myself, with the weirdest hairdo, dunking my nose IN the creamy cake and be all overjoyed.
This is photography. It is as simple as that. You don't need a fancy camera, or a well-adored polaroid camera. As long as it captures, as long as it brings back memories, as long as it aids your memory, this is photography.
Sometimes we accidentally capture some sort of a random person in the background, then we re-take the shot and ignore the previous one. But I think that's fate. You see, out of so many people to have photobombed you, it is that random stranger, the person who is there at the right place, right moment, in that mere fraction of a second when you snap a photo. That's something amazing, isn't it?"
A levels is finally over and as I was navigating around the web, I saw something to share. :D
Indeed, i found it true that photography is something which enhances our lives, making us more appreciative of what we do not cherish in the past. This is his passion for photography, what's yours?

Il Premiere 2010
Please don't complain that we don't blog lah, after all we aren't proficient bloggers ourselves.
*gives innocent puppy eyes*
Anyway, after the pretty horrible Promos, we have been busy with preparing for Prom. You know, Prom Prom Prom. The ever magical P.R.O.M. PROM.
We have been kept pretty busy with many logistics stuff, from printing to set-up...
This is how we are:
We also don't know what to wear, so we have been making some references as to what to wear. After all we are not the stars and we're not in the spotlight, so you can't expect us to wear super glam tux, etc.. Neither can we wear like shorts and slippers, cause its Shangri-la, not Bugis Street.
Anyway where is Shangri-la? Last year was at Marriott is it?
View Larger Map
Compared to Marriott, Shangri-la is relatively inconvenient. Well even though its in Orchard area its still a stretch away from the train station, so I suppose if we were to walk there from the train station under the extreme weather (scorching sun/torrential rain) we can don't bother going there at all.
However, wouldn't it be cool if we can charter a cab, a nice glam one, and strut down the cab like a celebrity, walking into the hotel?
But that can only happen in our dreams I suppose.
Nevertheless, whatever way we are getting there, I suppose we are pretty ready for prom and everyone is going to do great and have fun!
I hope there won't be random weird stuff popping up that day...
J2s, we wanna see you rock the house!
So, signing off, here's a random video for you to watch and laugh.
By the way, I love typing on Mac keyboard.

PROM.
The theme states Hollywood Glam so do expect the seniors to arrive in dazzling outfits, looking prim and proper as they look forward to party the night away! As photographers for the event, I look forward to working hard with the rest of the photog-gers as we churn out class prom photos and even couple shots for the seniors to cherish those precious memories! This event will mark another milestone in MJC's history so look out for some awesome photos that will be posted after the prom event!
Whatever it is, the photog club will be there capturing all the great moments as the seniors end their college life and exit with a BANG! Come for photoshoots! Early-bird discounts will be available before 6pm!
P.S: For now, let's wait for PPC as he uploads some pictures from his Cambodia trip! (:

Namaste, Nepal!
It's strange since the exams are over, people should have more time to update this blog! Especially so when they have more time to shoot now that it's the holidays!
Nevermind... This ol' senior is here just to announce an exciting piece of news (at least for myself). I just got 4 vaccines, and that's because I'll be in Nepal for six months starting January for my internship at a magazine company there. My physical presence may not be felt, but I'll be sure to exert my virtual presence here. I'll be posting pictures!
If I'm lucky enough, I might get to see Mt Everest and the Himalayans!

Clementi Railway
a train that will take you far away.
You know where you hope this train will take you,
but you don’t know for sure.
But it doesn’t matter, because we’ll be together."
King and I went to track down the Sunset way railway track today. Or rather, King tracked it down on Google Maps and we made our way down today.
The grass has grown all over the tracks and at first we were a little unsure where the track is when we reached there. My legs were scratched all over by the lalang, which was very irritating indeed.
The path leading up to the bridge.
The old track has been abandoned and overgrown with grass.
You have no idea how scary this bridge is until you walk on it!!! It's quite a high drop if you miss a footing, and believe me, you really don't want to miss a footing. My last words to Kingston were: "If I die.... Please help me return all my equipment!!!"
Nuts and bolts
I want to die!
The underneath of the bridge.
A very cute looking Kingston shot with the lensbaby.
Half the time there I was very scared of dropping off the bridge... I swear it felt like the longest 100m in my life. And although we went there for the bridge, my favourite shot was the first one of the leaf and the water droplets.
And I wouldn't recommend this location to any of you guys for a photo excursion. It's really dangerous.
