Pre-nightwalk walk!

Hai... so irritating.

After an evening of mini-adventure, I come home to a pot of mouldy japanese curry and no rice at all... Seriously... what the heck! I should've just kept my food in the fridge. Shit. I didn't know I'd have to resort to tupperwares when I'm at home.

What's worse is that I cooked because I wanted to save money. In the end, I spent more money on it than I would have had I bought dinner. I feel shitty. Hai... Every little effort I make to try and scrimp & save seems to go down the drain... (k, obviously, that's an exaggeration) I hate this!

Anyways, I'm not letting this affect my evening...

I had a great time taking photos of sunset, though today's not very spectacular, and there were pesky kids fishing for crayfish, and there was also this egoistic photographer with some high-end dSLR and probably Cokin filters taking photos too... and I can't to where I want coz I'd block his field of view. Some people think if you have a bigger camera, you have the right of way. Sheesh!

Anyways, I waited till the sun was gone, which was about 7:30pm... not extremely dark, but dark enough. I decided to walk the short 900m of the Lower Peirce Boardwalk up to Casuarina Drive to buy dinner for my dad... in the dark. Yeah yeah! Sure, I got my mini Q40 with me, but I was pretty determined not to use it.

Oh my, what a different experience it is, walking in pitch black and walking in broad daylight! The first very obvious difference is the sounds you hear. Shall not elaborate here until after the real hike. When you walk in the dark and all the noises around you seem so close, you just begin to freak out, especially when you're alone. I admit there was a point I almost turned around and walked back the way I came... but I didn't wanna have to blog about that, so I trudged on. Haha!

I saw fireflies!!! Well, just 2... but that's good enough. I've never seen fireflies in Singapore, ever!

K, I'm completely distracted by Hannah Montana and I lost my train of thought. Anyways, I'm thinking of organizing a pre-nightwalk walk which will end in dinner. Haha! That's if people are interested la... we shall see about it. It'll be a tiny glimpse of what the actual one will be like. =)

Anyways, here're a couple of my sunset shots today... =)

I really like the last one. Ok I admit I tinkered abit here and there. It's one of my first HDR images, plus a couple of tweaks.

Ok! G'night people! Gotta do my 2 Timothy 2:2 clinic homework! =)

Love me if you dare... 20:44
