i wanna go !!

this and this !

im jio-ing more for stomp~ heh... ! going for Jump with my tkd club members. think there'll be grp discounts for 20 tickets and above. so who's interested in tagging along, lemme noe ! all frenly ppl~ hehe. u wont get whacked with me there, donch worry. hahah. apparently Jump's from the same producer as 'Breakout' that i went to earlier this year. and it was fantabulous. super enjoyed it. so im expecting this wld be great too !!! well..Stomp, im sure u guys have heard of it b4~ lets goooo !!

caught transformers2 today, not that bad ! found it pretty enjoyable ! dinner thereafter. initially wanted to go for sushi tei..but damn long queue.. everywhere was actuallie. till we passed by this soba joint at paragon basement. decently short queue.. maybe cos the food there's a tad ex? my bowl of soba with mushrooms n taupok thingy, cost $17+....but its good, maybe cld have been significantly cheaper if they whipped up the taste using MSG.. all i can say is, good things no cheap la~ its not like those heavy soup base, or MSG laden kinda stuffs. love it. light and natural~

yummy ! see the ricecake (right) i love it ! super Q~ keke

finally used the last of my kino vouchers today. 4 more additions to my library :)

hmm.. i always dream that in my own house, i'll have a room full of books~ nice big armchairs, or beanbag corner~ heehe..wonder if that'll come true. oh of cos, i dun mind a mini Wii/playstation corner too~

I've decided to shift my blog. Nearing 26yrs old, Aizai has decided to be in a daze no more.
keep a lookout.. ! soon as i think of a new blog name, will send emails to update u all. if u dun get my email, it prob means ur not supposed to be reading these entries anyway. lOL~ just kidding.. prob means i dun noe u check in, so..msg me if ur bothered enough :p

post edit: oh myy, yes im sorry, i've forgotten to post the answer for that 欠鞕问答题..

the question was, "tuna puff, crossiant, and tau sa pao go watch titanic..who cried n who didnt? y?"

answer: "croissant, cos no 'filling' mahh."

-_-" but anyway, u shld state plain croissant or sthg mahh.. i was misled, thats why cldnt come up with the answer~! when i was in perth, i had the best almond croissant of my life.. freshly baked with custard filling~ i eat liow damn got feel~ shiokkkk !

今天的雨..

..好像来了就不想走了，但不知道为什么似乎又带给了我一丝宁静的感觉。
没有汹涌澎湃，没有闪电也没有雷声，纠缠不清的，没有停的意思，只是痴痴的落着...


现在什么都不想，只要静静的看着雨与大自然的飞舞...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I wanna catch that show. hmm, i wonder where the transformers get their spare parts from after a fight. they can't just continue without some bits and pieces right? anyway they've cool names. how abt naming my kids regardless of their sex after transformer characters..?
me, "Optimus Prime, come here. I wanna talk to you. Go sit beside Megatron."
damn cool right? i noe im awesome. thanks. hahaa

heh..zz, i love watching movies. wanted to tweak abit of my FB profile earlier on, but in the end didnt change much. haha. find it bothersome filling up those "Favourite Movies/TV" section...but i think i can easily come up with my Top 100 movies list or fill up a whole page...maybe i'll come up with AIZAI's Greatest Movie List. one fine day..we can just pick a few and do a DVD stay in night~weeeeeeeeeee!!

♥♥♥♥♥

start to wander off liow...hmm whens my turn..




then...





God answering prayer?

guess who caught the bouquet!? HAHAHA

果然是我的poly好姐妹.. lOL

with the Bride and Groom :)

catch(es) of the day~

Common Imperial

(at 1st, i was told its the Branded Imperial, but after some researching.. i tot it looks more like Common Imperial? or did i rem wrongly!? anyway that explains why my filename is wrong..heh lazy to re-upload)

not that fantastic shot..

BUT definitely worth posting cos its my first!

and according to The Intended, its a pretty good find, abit more difficult to chance upon :)

so i've read, the tails/hindwings..are believed to function as illusionary decoy to fool predators into attacking the tails rather than the head. mother nature's simply awesome~!

Copper Flash
abit blur (oh alright, i can hear you! ...its b l u r)
but granted this is another first, its good for keepsake!

sthg abt firsts that always excites me, haha. wonder why~ heh okay, i admit, im one of those dategirls who enjoys celebrating anniversaries, meaningful dates and numbers. lOL

oh did i just coin the term dategirl. HAHA. damn zai rite :p

Lime Butterfly (Mating Pair)

and yes ! ladies and gentlemen...finally, i get to see butterflies mate. haha. okay, sounds like im some psycho.. loL..but u get the idea- finally get to shoot my very own~ 3 cheers !!!

overall pretty lucky day~ lotsa fluttering and frolicking in the park today :)

btw, suddenly feel my blog looks very nice with the 3 photos of butterflies now. hahaha. and i feel so pro calling the butterflies by their names ! hahah~ "oh look at that branded imperial sunning over there.." hahah, okay rahh, i did not ID them myself this time round~ i was told~ but hey, im learning ! will get there one day.. at least now i can recognise quite a few :p

random: to be able to learn, and to enjoy learning..isnt it great !? im learning sthg new everyday... thats what i live for !!

AIZAI's reminder to self

1) thou shall be properly gowned for shooting
2) thou shall be fully equipped
3) thou shall not be too ambitious and get too close
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10) thou shall endeavour to shoot more

will slowly fill in the 'commandments'.... by the time its all filled in (and practiced), u'll start drooling over my shots !

One thing I concluded after a converfsation with The Intended..is that who we are is dependent on the kind of friends we hang out with.

If we hang out with vulgar friends, we end up or risk being vulgar.
If we hang out with friends with strong moral values, we end up being more like them.
If we hang out with materialistic friends, we end up envious and materialistic... so on and so forth

It's not about a "I'm better than you" mentality but it's more of a cautious approach.

Be careful who and how much time we spend time with because friends are the people that can either make or break you.

*psst..im finally at episode2 of Korean F4..heh...i have been veryyyy distracted.

i hate can't stand people who go for long lunchesss ! grrrrr. no work ethics?
wahraoz, get paid to eat ah?

too full to sleep, still.

A great person once said, "You are what you eat"

I ate awesome food for dinner today.

Therefore, I'm awesome!

that being said, since returning from China, i've been ballooning sideways, nonstop.
not controlling much of what i eat lately.

I'm now fat, again. and I officially declare fast food and all his friends my enemies. I hope to have nothing to do with them unless they become healthier then there might be a chance of reconciliation.

Bones, meet fats.
Fats, meet bones.

today's !!

"飞呀 飞呀看那红色蜻蜓飞在蓝色天空

游戏在风中不断追逐他的梦

天空是永恒的家

大地就是他的王国

飞翔是生活....

环岛追追追-ed

not that bad a day afterall~ i actually thoroughly enjoyed the various meetups, although i went from place to place... ya ya...including the part where i got conned to travel halfway round the island. *yawns :) but pretty disappointed i wasnt in time for the fireworks~ owells~ theres always national day. ehe. this one i wont fly kite. keke

okay, me ish not gonna detail everything that happened today. i wanna whack my serials now...damn i've been pretty distracted. not really also la..i've been in a reading mode. anyhoos.....it was a fun and pretty interesting day i'd say! came with a mini surprise too! so schweeet~ ! :D

contrast.

its happening again tmr. different cliques have an uncanny way of scheduling themselves to meetup on the same day.. so i have to be at 4 different places tmr, but it aint so bad, cos all different timing.. just a tad rush. and woe to how much i've to spend on parking tmr ~ zzzz.

i normally would have rejected 1 or 2 meetups so as not to land myself in such a frenzied day. i never liked it. i prefer my days slow, doing things i enjoy, soaking in the presence of a select few.. those people in my circle of trust.. loL. as always, quality over quantity right..heh. me no social butterfly~ However, it so happens that.. even with an iphone, yours truly is still disorganised and really forgetful. i note down my appointments, BUT i nv bother with checking back ! big mistake. then when ppl ask, i enthusiastically say "okay, no problem.." then realise wat an idiot i am. i shall not fly kite tmr.. i'll be guai and attend all the gatherings/meetups.... and hopefully learn my lesson ! i need another organiser to remind me to check my main organiser...haha.. post-it notes...or sthg like that... zzzzz

conversations jus now sorta sparked something in my mind, and initially i started off this post, wanting to pen down some 感想 regarding The Intended.. and the way i react to certain stuffs (hence the title "contrast"). but i guess now, hmm... i just wanna sleep :p

yet another random post brought to you by the friendly but not quite sociable aizai.. loL

okok..by now u all probably agree that i need slp :p
goo- nigh

beautiful bug

原来 this is called a shield bug. heh..i never knew. apparently, there are approximately 6500 different species of shield bugs. amazing. i read alot on other species... but i just cant find the name for this particular one... "hello mr. tribal mask...what's your name please?"

btw, attention fellow nature lovers and photography kakis, check this out :) and it happens to end on the best day of the year !! HAHA :D

one more before i call it a day (:

just cos i love her so very much ♥

photomatix: testing testing 1 2 3

much better software for HDR~ but havent really gotten down to playing with all the features. bits and pieces that i do not understand still~ heh..shall get my hands on the cr*cked version soon...theres that watermark there~ boo~

overdid it ?

wasnt really what i had in mind, but owells~ dun know how to get the effect i want~

city of (very bright) lights :p

my chiqui loves suntanning! she hates having photos taken.. keke. she'll mischieviously look everywhere, except into my camera. either that, or she'll give me the "sighs, shes at it again..leave me alone" look...loL~ damn got character right~ i love her! pretty difficult to imagine life without her now. shes family ! :D

HDR

first attempt at HDR. i used CS2 for these..apparently not the best software for this function. will try photomatix next time round..anyone has the program? heehe...*twiddles thumb*

shall leave the flyer pics till next time round, my compt's slowing down..so is my system...heh..

nice night out... :)

sweet dreams all.
