Growing A Green Thumb

Usually the garden is the last place you’ll find me, but if I was there, you’ld notice because of all the dying plants which I’ve just stepped on. The main reason I don’t like the going to our ‘garden’ is that I have a general fear of the millions of creepy crawlies out there… evil laughthere’s always the thought that suddenly all the insects will band together and attack me

Anyway I played around with the EOS my bro in-law let me “borrow”, and at the same time discovered lots of cool things to take random shots of. Haven’t quite gotten around to reading the manual yet… so I still get confused between setting aperture and shutter speeds, and I haven’t quite worked out how to turn the flash off on other modes…

I now know why professional photographers take so many shots of the same thing! It’s not easy to get the perfect shot, especially not with moving targets =(

But the good thing about the photos taken with the EOS is that I don’t need to photoshop them (although the temptation is still there)

hahanoI didn’t want to take too many photos… they’ll be too incriminating if mum sees all the dying/drying up plants….

yeahrightAlthough I might not have a green thumb, now I have a bit more motivation to keep things in the garden green right?

Stuffed & Sleepy!

The “Thank You” work dinner last Saturday was extremely yuMmy and filling!~ Seafood dishes came out one after another, I thought I was going to get sick of all those prawns, scallops, fish etc. Asians have this habit of overfeeding people! We had to doggy bag a couple of dishes (and bottles of wine devious) and we still had left overs! I have to say though, that lobster disappeared faster than a tub of ice cream placed in front of a bunch of kids kawaii Wow, hadn’t eaten lobsters in so long … I forget how yummy it is!! :love:

On a full stomach and a bit of wine in my system, I caught up with some friends for karaoke.

Karaoke Night

And by the time we were kicked out, I was totally ready to catch some sleep …zZzz…

The downside of the whole night was the STUPID WILSON PARKING!!!!! thumbs down I actually arrived on time for the dinner but cursing and arguing with the ticket machine made me a little late. I found out too late that the ticket machine is really picky and only takes $5 notes =| thank goodness a nice man gave me a couple of 5′s!

So I put in a $5 note and realised I didn’t have enough change, so a nice lady gave me some coins and I put in two dollars … and that’s when I realised that the *ing machine ate my money!! hahano

Not cool, not cool at all.

The nice lady waiting for me to buy a ticket was pretty upset with the machine too because she didn’t have enough coins and the machine wouldn’t take her credit card.

The Reception…. Cake cutting & Bridal table

姐 & 姐夫 (jie fu) received the photo album and dvd of the wedding a while back…. and a month or so later I FINALLY got around to posting about it. now. during the peak of my assessments. Yess… I have my priorities right! kawaii

Anyway, I also found time to post up some more photos of the wedding, but they’re on facebook (sorry! I couldn’t stop myself from signing up for yet another network sharing site!!). I swear, I’ll regularly upload photos there… at least it’s a lot photo-friendlier than Friendster =)
