3 September '07

Finally awake from my POWER sleep, of almost 12hrs! Today on official off from camp. Army Open House last day of exhibition. Wanted to make a trip but seems like weather is not on my side. Going to train soon! Instead I am going to meet Sam, Marianne & Hui Mui for lunch at Chinese Garden.

Saw the photo on the right? A photo of the team members frim Round Singapore Dragonboat Challenge 2007. Went out round Singapore for 30hrs with them just to take their pictures. Was really fun & interesting for me. It was a good trip for myself to expose more photographing scenes. Set off with them on 1st September, 7.30am at Changi SAF Yacht Club & end on 2nd September, 3pm.

I was really tanned from the trip. Poor SKIN of mine...but gonna look like a SUNNY HUNK on beach. Hahaz or even like a malay boy on streets. Seriously from this trip I made alot of new friends & fun on board the safety boat & rest boat. It was really hard for me to photography them as the waves of bumping was around us all time. It was really difficult to keep ur camera still or to put their picture in frame inside the camera. Nevertheless still it was successful in photographing them. 935 shots of them from the whole excursion.

Kudous, to Eric for inviting me to this event. National Event... so honoured even Eric was puking like a Singapore Merlion on board the ship due to sea sick motion! Poor thing... & also the sun-burnt he got while sleeping under the sun on board the ship. Hahaha....anyway all photos are upload to my multiply account. Feel free to take a look at them & comment. Thanks!

After the event went down to Bukit Gombak for my badminton game. Was real tired but managed to endure through the 3hrs of exercising. Phew... that is why I was so tired & did not blog last night... So the sleep at night was perfect for me, SHIOK! Throughout the whole journey only slept for 2hrs. Poor Poor... Insomia!

Kk shall stop blogging for now... Gonna rush out to meet my friends for lunch!
Wonder how my dear dear is in Shanghai. 1 week is over 7 more weeks to go before she comes back!
Lalala....
