i really do.

growing beansprouts

Initially, i thought the plant would probably last for about two weeks since it was growing on water,
not soil. But it grew beautifully and survived for nearly two months. Such strong determination :)

the august sky

i never get tired of trees and sky, do i :)

Looking forward to watching Cooling off Day this evening. It’s been a while since my last
play... i think it was December Rain, but couldn’t remember when was that.

if. there is a tomorrow

Life is so unpredictable, no one knows if there is a tomorrow waiting...

An irresponsible driver almost got me killed today... Although i have the habit of making sure that the road is safe before crossing (even if it’s the right of way for pedestrian at green light), but no matter how careful one is, accident still happens. Earlier today, i was half way crossing at a near empty road when a car appeared suddenly at high speed. Maybe the driver failed to notice the red light, or in the first place, his intention was never to stop since the road was so empty... Luckily, it did manage to brake just a few inches away from me at the last second. i have survived unscathed, but my legs still feel a bit numb as i type this... they were so closed to becoming mince meat.

i wonder if i’m lucky or unlucky, but this is my third time brushing passed death. The last one was an accident in traffic-chaotic Hangzhou when the cab behind crashed into the cab that i was in. Everything happened in a split second – loud screaming, then my head hit real hard onto the back seat. There was no immediate pain except that my head felt heavy and numb from the strong impact. Everyone in the cab would have been killed if we were travelling on high speed. It’s been more than a year since, although i’m not sure if it is the after effect of the accident, i am having headache very often as compared to before.

The first, which was the most rememberable, happened more than 10 years ago in Tioman island. i used to be a confident swimmer and being young and ignorant then, i thought it was alright not to wear a life jacket. But anything can happen when you’re out at sea. The wave was extremely strong that day, the yacht couldn’t go any nearer to the island and the other alternative was to swim there. Shortly after we jumped into the water, i realised the breathing apparatus that i was wearing turned out to be faulty and i had no choice but to remove it. The wave kept hitting on my face, making it difficult to breath normal above water. i was falling behind the rest and worse, making no progress towards the island at all. i kept threading water to stay floating but i could feel my limbs getting weaker and weaker, and till a point i told myself: this is it. i remember the scene very clearly till today – suddenly everything stood still, no more struggling, not a single sound, it was peaceful. i looked around me, panning from left to right slowly, then closed my eyes and i thought: “So, this is where i am going to die”.

A typical drowning scene in the movie does happen in real life... But of course, i didn’t die, i was saved. After that incident, i was so scared of water i stopped swimming for years.

So, you tell me, am i lucky or unlucky?

the last week of may

1. Lumix & Camomile tea 2. Tatty Devine mini records earrings

3. Decorations on old iPhone by my niece 4. Trip to the Past mug

1. Orange Days dvd 2. Birthday

3. Niece trying to be photographer 4. Out for breakfast

The days are flipping by real fast nowadays and before i realised, it’s almost June. These
past five months have been quite uneventful... well, maybe not exactly... there is actually

something that i would want to remember but shall leave that to myself for the time being.

Waiting for end August to come. By then, i should have completed an on-going project and
might be able to go for a long vacation after that :)

earlybird and 1977

These are two of my favourite filters from Instagram – earlybird and 1977. They can make even the ugliest photo turned out looking good.

today

i don’t know how am i going to survive through March... there are just too much work to

really complaining because i believe it’s all going to be worth it. i’m starting on an

interesting project and can’t wait to share when it’s done! :-)

mosaic sunday

From last week.

This week has been crazy, i hardly had time to do anything other than work (in the agency) and more work (from home at night). But the good news is i’m going on holiday soon – September in Puning, a small town in the province of Guangdong, China (i’m tempted to pop by Hong Kong too since it’s not that far) and end October in Perth :-)))

Now that the plans are set, i’m thinking of upgrading camera all over again!

my little tiger in hipsta limelight

i bought another new lens today for the hipstamatic apps on iphone and decided to check out the different effects of the various films, lens and flash combination.

Float film with different lens and flash effects.

Pistil film with different lens and flash effects.

Apart from Float film, the rest of the films only does affect to the frame.

My current favourite is Float film with Roboto Glitter lens (first chart). What about you?
