The White Rabbit

My first attempt with photoshop......

Of Vintage Cameras

I finally decided to put my money on a few cameras which I had wanted to buy for so long. Previously I blamed my lack of time to seriously pursue this, and also the price for them. But I guess I have passed on from that phase.

There is a particular something which attracts me to these cameras in the first place...... the clickety clack of the mechanicals within. As soon as you press the shutter release, you can hear the precision (or maybe not so precise) mechanics click, buzz, and clack, to give you an exposure on film. Simply wonderful.......

Now for the task at hand, is to start practicing with them. :)

Updates.....

To those who still come to my blog, I'm still alive and kicking. The past months, work has gotten to me so much that I just did not have the time to blog.

After my schedules have stopped running me down, I started doing a serious analysis of how my life is turning out at the moment, as well as putting in more thought about what I want for the future. The only 2 things which I have been proud of, was quitting coffee in June (I was downing 6 cups a day), and seriously going to gym and putting on some weight. The third thing, is to quit smoking, which I've put down as my New Year resolution. I believe I can do it, though I've been smoking for the past 19 years (yes, I know...... its terrible, but I will prove it to the unbelievers!!)

Of Abu Dhabi and then some

This pic shows out team in Abu Dhabi, in a mini-bus, on a 1 hour long journey. Half the team anyway. This picture was taken when we were still fresh. You should have seen us at the end of the journey, and that was only the beginning of work. :)

Spotted on tissue pack.... The Matree

And so now they get creative with tissue packs......well sort of.

University Studios theme park in Singapore........ what the?!?!

Spotted this on www.straitstimes.com. The caption beside the picture actually indicates 'university Studios theme park' instead of 'Universal Studios Theme Park'. Had me for a while there.

Follow the link to see if its still there. Link

Of perserverence

I'm still reeling from the continuous days of having 2-4 hours of sleep per night, since mid-April. The unfortunate thing is, it doesn't end there. I've had 3-4 projects piled sky high since that date till now, and I'm still at the 4th one, iin Abu Dhabi.

Age never seem to be a factor until recently, when I found myself drifting off to sleep in the middle of the night, standing, while I was supposed to be looking at something. That really made me feel angry with myself. Though some may say I am perverse in thinking that, but to me, its all about responsibility.

I still do not deny, that I'm in a position which I enjoy immensely, from start to finish. I pat myself on the back, whe I think about how I made the switch from IT to events about 5 years ago. I was new ground, but I'm glad I went for it, and am better for it. As to how long i can survive in this industry, I won't know. :)

Here's a shot from my desk in Abu Dhabi, in Novotel. I was just thinking how it was laid out so nicely (or haphazardly)....
