i was blog browsing moments earlier.
(Yup, am aware of the time, but due to toooo much Chinese New Year activity, had had my time pretty turn upside down. Oh, Happy Chinese New Year to you too :D)
As i was saying before i had my train of thoughts being diverted (as usual as always), i stumbled upon a blog titled "Ben the Man' under one of me friend's reading list.
Truth be told, i have seriously forsake and forgot my blog which was started few years back.
To start off, lets give a recap/update of what has happened to me since i last login
(it says March 24th, 2010)
That is pretty much a year. A year gone by in a blink of an eye eih.
For starters, after a whole 1 YEAR tenure at as a photojournalist at the press, i have continued on with my studies as planned.
Truth be told, i was indeed kinda sad to leave the press, i mean, i did like the work there, albeit the impossible workload.
It's sad i wasn't able to write a blog about my life when i was at the press (only 1 miserable entry),
would be interesting to read in back in years to come, the challenges i met, the people i met, the environment, the politics, well, you pretty get the idea.
One thing i can tell for sure,
BEHIND EVERY GREAT PHOTO, IS A GREATER PHOTOGRAPHER
Skill and talents apart, INSTINCTS is one factor of utmost importance that has to be garnered, and is not as easy to come as skills and technique.
Stuff i learned was definitely beyond books and class. Thats for sure :D
And moving on:
Having resigned my job to further on continue with studies, i bought a new camera to erm, whats the word?
Accompany. yes.yes.
Accompany me through my journey from hence.
Spend quite a hefty amount from all my savings,
(i gladly worked overtime while at the press for this sole purpose)
i became the proud owner of the Canon 5D Mark II on August the 6th, 2010, therefore, slashing away 1 of my longterm Goals under my wishlist.
It was no doubt, by far my highest investment so far.
(i bought the lens and the flash 1 shot, so you can guess the amount),
but the satisfaction of actually realising one of me dream, it's
GRATIFYING
Ok ok, showing off aside, i'm well aware many kids have dslr these days so hence this is no biggie for many.
But what i'm trying to point out is not the fact that i purchase a camera that cost the same as the downpayment of a low cost flat, but merely to highlight the importance of achieving one's dream.
Now, how many stuff are there still on my list ei? hmm....
i'm doing my Bachelor Degree in Law now, first year, and erm, after 7 months of study, exams is up in 3 months time.
Mum has been 'reminding' me the fact that she wants to be THERE during my convo which is not going to happen so soon.
So yup, that basically is it.
Upon completion of that, whether or not do i progress to the legal field, i'm still vague about it. Ask me when i was 16, 17 what i wanted to be, and i would answer without a breath of doubt.
Ask me now, i would end up saying it depends.
So, fingers cross that when i read this post 2 1/2 years from now i've gotten the damned paper from London.
Hmm... what other update.
Oh, i'm photographing for a stipendiary every now and then, for the thrill of it and to support my expensive hobby.
i still strongly believe that everyone should be given a chance to have their photo taken professionally, at a reasonble price, hence the reason to my 'affordable' price.
No seriously, it's affordable.
Think of it in terms of PHOTO AID,
like the Legal Aid you can receive from the government for legal services if you fall under the not so rich category :D
What else...
1. i got a jacket from Zara to celebrate my 1 year tenure in the press.
2. My Compaq has retreated to eternal slumber after 3 and 1/2 years of service rendered. You shalt always be my first.
3. i've increased 6kg and 2 inches in waist.
4. i still hope to grow another 1 inch in height (eih, no harm there right)
5. am still single.
6. Back to playing basketball after the increase in weight. hahaha.
7. Is in plans to start a photography partnership with Nic and Priest(still needs the healing)
8. Is loving life :D
Thats bout it.
i shalt start posting photos again from next entry onwards :D
