Last Saturday... Both good and bad day..Last Saturday morning and afternoon, indeed i have enjoyed a lot over @ Chinatown taking photos for the photo competition with the theme "Something Old, Something New". I will upload some of the photos next time when i'm free in my blog. In the morning we were having some briefing and teaching stuff by our 2 photographer faciliators, Kenneth Lim & Cavvy Chin at W3, Level 3 Lecture Theatre. Thereafter, we went to a room @ E6 where they would loan out the DSLR (Digital SLR) for each one of us, about 30++ people.
After everything was done in RP, we set off to Chinatown (South Bridge Rd) which would be our meeting point. Upon reaching there, we were given some instructions and off we go to shoot as many photos as we want but in the end we should have at least some photos that are related to the theme. Since Wan Ning was not selected for this photo competition, i have to go with a friend at least, and there i was glad to have Wu Yao as my companion and there i make new friend. Yay!! He's from W16F, quite near to my class, W16L. As i got to know him, he told me that he also know 1 of my current classmates, Jia Jie (Thomas). Both of them came from the same part of China (Shen Zheng, in HYPY) and live in the same hostel if i remembered correctly.
From the starting point, we set off to various small little parts of Chinatown, shoot here shoot there, at times even kena scolded by the uncle and nearly got into fight.. Haha.. :-D After some shooting, at about 12 plus, we went to MacDonald @ Lucky Chinatown to have our lunch. After that we set off again to shoot somemore photos @ Chinatown area before i brought him along to Little India for some photo shooting. As this is his first time in Little India and also first time taking the NEL Train, it would be a good experience for him. ;-)
After all the shooting, we took bus service 145 from Bugis all the way back to our starting point and after that we were given some instructions again and off we go! (which means we are released for the day) Wu Yao would take the school provided bus back to RP (cos he staying in hostel) whereas i took SBS9676S, a Dennis Trident on service 80 to HarbourFront Bus Interchange for toilet break before i took TIB630P of service 188 to IMM to meet up with my family members.
Okie.. The good and fun part is over.. Here comes the bad and moody part..
After we had our dinner at Kopitam inside IMM, my mother decided to bring all of us to buy some clothes for us.. And the worst thing is that she kept on going around, kept on asking us to buy clothes, and this lasted until about close to 10pm when most of the shops are closing at this hour. What makes me really pissed off is that when i asked her to buy a health product which only cost about $100-$200 plus, she said she got not enough money to buy, BUT when it comes to buy clothes like last Saturday, she can kept on spending and spending like got no limit like that.. Think got at least hit 100-200 dollars. WTH man..
During this point of time onwards, I have decided to share my problems with my younger brother, and vice-versa. I got my own problems, he got his own problems. In the end, our problems still link to a common group of people, which is our parents, especially our mother. Haiz.. When he shared with me about his problems, i found that he's actually somehow facing the same kind of problems (or should i say "obstacles" instead) as when i was in my late Sec 4 days in late 2004 to early 2005. Mostly the problems lies with freedom part and some other stuffs also. At least for his case is not as worst as what i faced during my late 2004 - early 2005 days.. In the end i gave my brother some advices, and also i hope that he will be able to successfully went through the obstacles as what i have faced last time, and to be able to fight all the way for his freedom that he is desired for, but of course the freedom don't make him do things which makes him got himself into trouble especially with police. What i'm most worried is his vulgarities that he always used in school. I do hope that as the years pass by, he will be able to change himself for the better, just like me last time.
Okie.. I shall end this entry here.. This is actually dated back to last Saturday but in the end i was too tired to blog this entry.
