Crazy lightings’ going on that night. Provided great effects for my shots.

We went back to my apartment later that night and did some experimenting with some glowing sticks we got from the fiesta. Love the outcome.

The Month February

Posted in Uncategorized on March 2, 2009 by pearlysam

The past 3 weeks have been crazily stressful. Test after test. But yeah, I haven’t gone nuts yet. In fact, I think I handled the pressure pretty well. *sense of accomplishment* :)

Despite all, tests are finally over and what better way to celebrate than to celebrate your best gf’s birthday? :D

She wasn’t looking at Honey D because she was eyeing on the cake. Lol.

Ten minutes later…..

img_3857

She’s still eyeing! =.=”

img_3867

Federick doing the “what?” pose cause we weren’t satisfied by the pictures he took for us. (the pic above seriously is the best among the bunch. Sad, i know.)

Even so, Christine is one lucky person. I envy the brother sister relationship they have.

behind the scenes

Posted in Uncategorized on February 12, 2009 by pearlysam

As I said earlier, I shall leak a lil on the video making of the kidnapping which was played during camp as part of the treasure hunt. Just so you know, I had no experience doing this sort of thing so it was certainly something very new to me. Was really excited on that day (I know Ruth was :) ).

img_0922

Ruth as the main character a.k.a the victim, Nat as the kidnapper.

Actors ready, lets roll!

So yeah, that’s pretty much about it. The video below is our work of that day.

 

img_0998

Yeah, the pink pumps who caused all the trouble.

Lesson learnt : Say no to PINK! :P

(Not that I’m very free in coll, wrote this post during CNY but was waiting for Cyn Sheng to send me the video)

Ah yes, I remember those times.

Second attempt

Ryan waving goodbye.

*End of camp*

Camp was a really good way to end my days in S’wan before heading to college. Learnt so much, got to know some people, strengthening and building relationships.

This particular camp was a whole new experience for me, especially being the official photographer for the first time which I deeply and greatly enjoyed. One thing tho, had to sacrifice not being inside most of the shots. Still, no regrets! I know I’m still not very good at it yet but yeah, I’m learning! Hopefully by the end of this year I’ll be good enough to earn new lenses! Photography rocks! :)

first 3 weeks of SAM, what have I done?

Posted in Uncategorized on January 24, 2009 by pearlysam

It has not even been 24 hours since I came back to S’wan but here I am already blogging. lol.

My last 21 days in Subang Jaya:

Number 1

First of  course there are classes to attend, new subs, new environment to adapt, house chores to do.

Nat’s my coll classmate! It’s a pretty long story how and why but yeah, we are so blessed to have each other. ;)

img_3203

Tell me, how often do best childhood friends still end up in the same place after 12 years?!

Number 2

Went shopping together with Nat last Saturday in One U for CNY clothing. Sat my first bus in KL. Lol. Nat and I are like the best shopping partners to each other. All the encouragement we gave to one another, of course it made us empty our pockets a lil more but……. all in all, it was a very satisfying shopping trip :)

Number 3

Manage to meet up with Alan, Chia Ching and Andrew one of the Friday nights. Had dinner at Tony Rommas (I hope I got the name correct). Food was good. No pictures tho. Went to Andrew’s condo after dinner.

img_3190

img_2986

No we did NOT drink.

Number 4

Been going to Whispering Hope church for the past 3 weeks. Thanks to Alston and Uncle Sam (not my dad) who have been our chauffeurs. Adults there are really outgoing and fun. Young at heart. Worship over there is very much different from S’wan but at least I had a taste of S’wan worship lead by Alston and his team last Sunday. Miss that.

img_1114

Number 5

Met Daryl and his Melbourne friends.

Number 6

Daddy took Nat, Chris and me out for dinner twice for Chinese Food!

dsc00716

Nah, we din have that, just felt like putting the picture.

So yeah, first 3 weeks of Jan is officially gone. Met new friends, lecturers, people. Basically it’s like entering primary one where you don’t know anyone and anything and starting everything from scratch. College life isn’t as exciting as people say (for me) but it isn’t boring either. Boredom actually starts after class.

img_329821

Whaaaat…? No laptop, no storybooks. I was bored… and restless. :)

img_32401

Another thing I do when I’m bored. Draw and Colour. *ignore the words, it was random*

img_2963

Something I’ve been faithfully wearing everyday to coll for the past three weeks. Reminds me of the special one who made it. ;)

img_3372

Took this on the way back from KL.

I’m so glad to be home. :D

Next post : Behind the scenes of the kidnapping video (Youth Camp 2008 ) and my favourite youth camp shots! Stay tuned! 8)

The five of us gals met up for the last time this year yesterday. Was one of the most emotional day I’ve ever experienced. But yeah, it was just a matter of time when we’ll be separated. I’m really looking forward to college life but at the same time I know I’m gonna miss them terribly. TERRIBLY. :(

img_2941

You guys are GREAT mates. ;)

I know most of you are expecting a post about Youth Camp but unfortunately it’s not happening… yet. Was just talking to a friend the other day about how both of us lost the motivation to blog. Anyway,

Time flies.

Camp made me realized a lot. Especially knowing who are the people that i really hold dearly in my heart.

p1120464

I’m glad we went as five. :)

This week has been totally awesome (even tho i burst my balloon twice :( ).  And it’s only going to get better! :D Right now I’m just enjoying and appreciating the time I have left. No pressure no worries. ;)

Honey D

Posted in Uncategorized on December 4, 2008 by pearlysam

Every body’s been so pushy. Consistently bugging me to update. Maybe i should be thankful that people actually bother to read my blog. lol.

I finally got my honey D. :D

I initially had no plans today until JS text me to hang out at Chris’s place, do some clicking at the same time. Of course without hesitation i said yes.

img_0647

JS’s D. A real beauty with GREAT lens. Chris was drooling all over it. Won’t hide the fact that I did too. :)
