This is what WIN is made of.
I've been pretty well occupied this week! :D There was a picnic on Wednesday and just today, there was a pre-FOP outing to ECP. 我喜欢。 Okay, not really, but I had fun so, 我喜欢。

Since we were going to the Barrage, I knew we'd reach there about 4 so we didn't meet too early. I wore my low cuts and it nearly rained. :( There's something about my low cuts that plays with the weather... FOREVER. It's so well worn that there are holes on the soles, so I try to avoid wearing it when it's gonna rain (else the water will seep in), but whenever I wear them, it either nearly rains, or simply rains. Honestly, I've taken notice ('cause it's dying and I don't want to dump them! Ugh).

Anyway, I was the first to meet the fresh meat. It felt like bringing 3 little kids out for a walk. xD So glad I'm not the oldest (by counting the years). Oh, I only had my 50mm lens with me that day so all I took, mainly, was pictures of people - oh the glorious bokeh.



Gabriel was a nice basket. :)


SEE, THY GLORIOUS BOKEH AND SHARPNESS


Victoria was like holding everything in sight. She cute ah.


Then there was this fake coconut drink. Literal plastic coconut. Idgi.


One artistic shot for the lulz.
Later, Cuixia arrived. I wore my plaid jeans 'cause it was the only thing that matched the shirt we planned to wear together! Aha, I seriously didn't look like I was going for a picnic! (I kinda looked more like I was going for a concert.)


Then we got moving! :D



LIKE A BOSS.
It was so hot :( Lucky it was about 4+ when we reached, so the sun wasn't at its peak anymore.


The guys didn't want to cooperate :(
And we settled down! Woohoo!





We didn't stay out on the roof for long 'cause the grey skies decided to spoil our fun :( Oh, the guys managed to get their kites up for a while before the strings got tangled and the lightning risk alert. (There was this bunch of youngsters who were super excited about flying a kite. And their kites were in the classic shape - diamond. They were shouting, "I'm flying! I'm flying!" all the way through...)


I got this shot before the clouds came over to rain on our fun. It was just like those surreal moments where it looks like heaven is showing itself... I editted this heavily 'cause I just couldn't get the right exposure. As long as you can see that light thingy, you got it B)
We hid in the cafe at the 2nd floor for a while and wasted some money. Then we left, thinking it was better, but it wasn't! The risk alert was still there so we had an indoor picnic.




We didn't stay too long, 'cause we're good kids. We parted where we met and will meet again before school starts! :D




Today, I overslept. Gabriel nicely went back to sleep when he found I wasn't awake. Hahahaha so we reached ECP 3 hours late! (Y) CL was with his friends, so his friends and him rented bikes together with us. So the outing kind of split into two xD I totally spammed CL's camera with my face :p


FLOWER HAHA

The wind was so good xD

We look like we're modeling for contact lenses here, hahaha

CL wanted to make me look short here.

Gabriel and his pervy face~ Inner ego Angel appears!










I had fun today. :)

Aaaaaaaaaaand... my new deepee! :D

Kind of half impromptu outing with some of the freshies to the Graduation Show at Suntec City :)
The outing was good. We all had fun. I was happy - we all were, and that's all that matters. At first it was just Kevin, Gabriel, Cuixia and me. Victoria and CL joined in later when they caught wind of our little outing to the Grad show. It was good. :)


The real happy short people.


Hahaha flower. Always reminded of when Ashri first showed me, then later to Keola, and Keola to the rest during Shim night. Ahahaha you guize.
There was this little bonsai garden was along the way - we stopped to eat cheesecake, courtesy of Victoria :D I'm gonna challenge my cookies with her cheesecake!




Later, we went to the show and it just felt like coming home. There's this air of comfort and familiarity, with a tinge of fear and uncertainty. This is where we'll be, 3 years down the road (2 for some). This is where it all ends... and begins. All the works were so professional and all :(


I didn't get a lot of pictures 'cause I was later distracted by other familiar faces and we just went off course. But oh, I did have my eyes opened and stuff. Gonna have to work even harder!

We all went for dinner after: our group and another we met at the show. But the place where we initially planned to eat at was full already, so we resorted to fast food :( Boo!


Look how tiny I am between these two -_- (Cute can already.)
Walked around a little more before deciding to find a place to lepak and camwhore!




AND CAMWHORE!


















I met Gabriel slightly earlier before the rest to get a shot done! :) He's a nice model to work with B)


This is my contest entry for Patrick Stump's Be Your Own Spotlight contest! I hope I win. This is what I wrote on my dA page:

my entry for patrick stump's contest, Be Your Own Spotlight, here and the live stream here.

obviously, what i do best at is writing. :D but there was a certain way i wanted the photo to be captured so i had my friend to model as me. it's his handwriting though. xD also, i guess photography might just be the next thing i'm good at, so i've captured twice the essence of being my own spotlight. (Y) how about adding music along... since i translated what i felt and saw in my head from that piece of music, into words? :D

the story i wrote, i've uploaded on my blog but not here. it's here and is accompanied by one of joe hisaishi's pieces. :) i don't think i'll upload the story here!
