Assignments coming in!!!

Boos!

Hello again guys! Oops... I haven't put up the pictures of the worms & other parasites. Sorry... haha! It just isn't something that's constantly on my mind. =) I'll try to remember ok? Haha! Besides, how many of you people out there are actually keen on seeing worms & parasitic crustaceans? *bleahs*

Today... Wednesday. 3rd day of school. Already, I foresee a pretty busy semester ahead...

ENTM3001:
I need to collect insect specimens again. But at least it's group work this time. However, my catchment area becomes restricted to leaf litter. Crap... 20%

I also need to prepare a 45min presentation on the Order Mantodea (i.e. praying mantis), which, I dunno when I need to present. Still need to prepare notes for the class one lor. 35%

2 assignments only costs me 55% already. Hai...

BIOL3011:
Got a project that's worth forgot how many percent already...

PARA3001:
Report due next Friday, and another one 2 weeks after that. And a final one somewhere in May I think. *sigh*

Plus, I'm one of the project managers in OCF... haha! But that's not a big problem la. Really.

In fact, there's gonna be a BBQ this Saturday at Roma Street Parklands!!! YAY!!! It's a welcome BBQ for the new people, so we can get to know them & vice-versa, and for the "oldies", time to catch up!!! Haha! Speaking of which, I need to call Paul, Jeremy, Nicole & Jasmine from the IDP talk.... ask them come. Oh ya! And Pauline too... Sinying's friend. Yep yep... at least then she, being a minor (meaning under 18), will have more people to know & hang out with.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm selling my table to Vinoth for $50. Can't go IKEA this Saturday coz of the BBQ... might end up getting a cheap shelving unit from Warehouse or Crazy Clark's or something... to put my stuff that'll be emptied from my drawers. See how. I have to remember to ask them to get me an IKEA catalogue when they go. Sekali IKEA shelves cheaper than outside, I won't be particularly surprised...

Do you ever dream/wish that u were rich? Like filthy rich... so rich that you're working only for the kick of it... I'm sure many ppl do.

I do too... but honestly, only occasionally. Like now... Think of all the things u can do!

If someone needs to study but can't because of money, I could give/lend them!
If someone needs to be hospitalised & treated, I could help!
If someone needs to get an expensive gift, I have the cash!
If someone is injured and is able to take a bus home but is inconvenient, I could give 'em a cab!

Aiyah, lots of ifs la... Unfortunately, I'm not filthy rich. Haha! Oh wells... I am rich in love... (I think. Am I?) I can offer help & support morally, physically... =)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wanna buy a film camera. Haha! I want a film SLR. I just had a revelation the other day... See, digital is so much easier, so everyone-can-do-it, everyone-can-use-it... And to learn more about photography with digital is SO SO SO SO much cheaper & user-friendly & time-saving. That's why, for people of this era, the learning curve starts off gentle. But how high does it start to plateau off? Like, how much skill is actually learnt? Everything is on Auto (even for me)... and many mistakes can be corrected post-exposure with powerful softwares (i.e. Photoshop). The pinnacle of acquiring photography skills is when u use film. You can't edit ur photos. You need to have a good understanding & application of the relationships between the shutter, aperture & ISO to get a good exposure. And you can see for yourself how well u understand light when u have your photos printed out in front of you. And for manual focus SLRs, depth of field & focus will become more evident as you compose your shots & focus on your subject.

Aiyah, I just feel that I started learning photography with a good digital cam, now I want to improve using a film SLR.

Some features I want: manual & auto focus, manual & auto light metering, depth-of-field preview, focussing screen... mmmm... dunno still got what other important features leh. Maybe someone can advise me? I'm currently more biased to Nikons. Like the FA, F80, F60/F65, F100 maybe? I dunno... Overkill would be like F5 & F6?

*dreams*

Oh yes, song...

"You’re my peace of mind in this crazy world.
You’re every thing I've tried to find.
Your love is a pearl.
You’re my Mona Lisa,
You’re my rainbow skies,
And my only prayer is that you realize
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

The world will turn,
And the seasons will change.
And all the lessons we will learn
Will be beautiful and strange.
We'll have our fill of tears,
Our share of sight.
My only prayer is that you realize
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
That you will always grow
Ever more beautiful in my eyes.

And there are lines upon my face
From a life time of smiles.
When the time comes to embrace,
For one long last wine,
We can laugh about how time really flies.
We won’t say goodbye,
‘Cause true love never dies.
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes."

-Joshua Kadison: Beautiful In My Eyes
