my recent obsessions.
a person who obsesses about stuff easily, the following are my recent ones:
1. Photography
Having learnt the basics of photography such as the trinity (aperture, iso and shutter speed), i can't wait to visit the different places in singapore to capture photos. today, mieo and i went to the changi airport, aviation gallery. and i tried out my photographical skills using my new cam. the photos are not very good though as i am still a beginner haha.
this was shot using the colour swapping mode. i swap the colour of the sky from grey to blue : )
Also in colour swapping mode, i sway one of the colours of the carpet to reddish pink !
tried to capture the motion of the waterfall by using a slow shutter speed. my first shot was a disaster because the shutter speed was too slow which resulted in an overexposure and the image to be too bright. this is my 2nd shot. however, i feel that it can be further improved.
my photography skills are still very bad though. i take very long to determine the correct exposure (trinity), and by the time i get the correct modes, the subject will be long gone. thats the problem that i am facing now. practice makes perfect so i am going to keep on practising.
2. Weight loss/ Diet/ Calories burning / Whatever, it all means the same
Yes, i am currently very obsessed about my weight now after finding out that i had gained a few kg during the examination period. Holidays is the best time to start the workouts and healthy diets and thus there is no excuse for me to skip these altogether when i am so 'free' now. Take a look at my inbox, you can see lots of emails about healthy diets, workouts, recipes for healthy cooking so on and so forth. Nope, they are not spam. Rather, they are what i had signed up for (mailing list).
Ask my friends and yea, its true i am so obsessed with this i am counting the calories i ingested and burnt daily. Actually, many might find this a lil bit too crazy. However, i feel that calorie counting actually helps me to be more aware of my food intake and what to watch out for. The results have been obvious and positive too. As of now, i lost 1 kg :D
3. Jobs hunting
Today, i went job hunting with mieo. Just hours ago i was surfing the web for part time positions. I am quite inclined towards being a coffeebean/starbucks barista. Firstly, through this job, i will be undergoing barista training which is really quite cool and a skill that i want to learn. Plus the benefits are reasonable i suppose and helps me in my funds saving for usa. :)
Oh, the airport one fell through because they require a minimum commitment of 3 months and mandatory 2.5 weeks of training. Oh well, im not fated to work in the airport...
These 3 current obsessions of mine have replaced my old ones such as shopping. Which is good i think since it means i will spend less and earn more. It also means that i am spending my time more fruitfully and yes, living my life to the fullest. :)
And oh no, its time to go to school again tomorrow. I pray that i do not require any jabs tomorrow. Firstly, i have phobia and plus i m broke and cant afford any, sadly. So if the nurse shall insist that i have one, i might probably tell her to jab herself. (lol, kidding.) most likely, if this happens i will say orh and panic all over again.
On a sidenote, mieo told me she doesnt believe in true love. Hmm, i still do. Do you? :)
what we could have been, 10:38 PM.
