Decided to post up some cranky and funny photos of me and my roomie!
I was really a greedy pig! Buffet for all three meals for the entire 7days there..
One time i took too much dessert and could not finish it.. i kept pestering my frez to help me have a bit of each .. end up the guys forcing the food into my mouth.. i tried to struggle la.. but to no avail! obviously...i;m overpowered!

Outing to National and Singapore Art Musuem

Hey! This's my photography elective class! The photo was purposely made black and white cos ouor course is on Black and white photography.

We visited National &Singapore Art Museum with our elective prof on Deepavali;s holiday. She made it complusory for all of us to go else needa submit more pages of report. It; my 1st time to the museums.. well.. quite an experience.. you see "no big deal" pictures and painting which worth so much.. hmm.. but undeniable some of the photos were really strong.. guys from PHO 240 will know what i mean by "strong" yeah.. strong intensity and emotions etc..

This class demands more time than any other elective that ive even taken... i.;m spending more time onthis than my fyp.. sounds ridiculous ...
this class is not brain taxing.. unlike any engineering courses.. but it requires me to use another side of my brain .!!!!.. creativity ? not.. it;s artistic sense... and it;s very subjective too..

The prof used to teach at NY uni.. she seemingly gets too much shocks after one yr teaching singpore students.. ppl over in states give her extreme emotion , nudity photos etc.. and here... she gets TEDDY BEAR.. haha.. ( not from our classs tho) some freshman class.. she;s kinda "shocked" in that sense.. Hilarious..
yeah now.. i;m improving on my usage on my other side of my brain!
A high Price ($) for this course~ spent alot on photo paper and file.. and TIME.. in exchange for a valuable experience! Hope prof will accepts all my photos soon!

Some started walking before they reach 5km, while some sprinted like mad in the beginning then punctures towards the end.
I managed to keep myself at a consistent pace throughout the whole race, I kept telling myself that if i were to stop once, i am surely gona stop again and again .. hence i must not stop to walk!Hee i am really very happy after the run! i think i am more mentally prepared for the upcoming standard chartered full marathon in dec!
