today was pretty interesting. spent the entire day outside and alone, working on my class project of taking as much pictures of signs and symbols i set my eyes on. and all that led me to meeting 5different people, 3 of which asked for direction. hmm.

tomorrow will be the last lesson for this module, to clear our queries and show Anthon some of our work, before officially handing everything in on Monday. i thought i'd have a hard time doing the Journey project, since we have to snap various garphic design-influenced objects from inside of our house, the journey to our destination, and of course, the final destination itself. i mean, my destination is the National Museum and to get there from my house, a direct bus is provided. meaning i'd have little pictures to take as soon as i alight from the bus. get the drift? so i alighted at Dhouby Ghaut instead and wandered around long enough to know that i've taken enough pictures.

and while i was at it, there was this Indon uncle who came up to me with his Canon slr and wanted me to take a picture of him against a traffic light. and he was so weird la. his camera was not working properly and i don't even bother to try and help to fix the problem coz i've never used Canon before so what's the point right. and when he was done fixing, he chuckled like a weirdo and asked me to take another shot. and that was when he striked up a conversation and asked me questions like, whether i'm still schooling, what i'm majoring in, etc. then he asked this one question which i regretted answering with such honesty.

Indon uncle: kamu sekarang mau ke mana?
me: oh saya mau jalan2 ambil gambar utk projek skolah.
Indon uncle: oh mari mari saya ikut yok! (stg like that uh)
me: eh tak boleh tak boleh! saya mau ketemu kawan dulu ni!

in my head, i knew i should've lied to him when he asked where i was going. coz somehow i'd guessed that he'd want to tag along if i told him the truth, and my guess was right. and yet i told him i'd be wandering around taking pictures. like, -_-" i guess my comeback was convincing enough though, haha. he then asked for direction to the Mer-lee-on and.. that was it.

anyway, the pictures i took today were alright. i mean, not too bad for someone who doesn't use much of slr for an entire day, let alone not being guided with the settings and everything at all. but i guess what my sifu, Dear, had taught me before pretty much helped too. and thanks to Zul Tulang as well for the loaning of his camera and the extra 2 unncessary equipment-- of which one of it comes in handy actually. so.. hurrah. now, i'm very motivated to complete all projects and assignments, without worry and paranoia whatsoever, even if i only have 5 days left to complete. still, the only problem now is (and forever will be), is money. money money money. haiyo. well i hope Shevron will approve all my artwork, i'll get paid, i'll get satisfaction. sigh, money makes the world go round indeed. how annoying.
