did a bit of reflection lately and i can't help thinking how blessed i am. the fact that i have such a great job like this; is what I'd consider a miracle. decent pay with lots of exposure and challenges plus flexibility is a rare find. not to mention the proximity to my home. haha...this may not be an ideal job for most ppl but it's a pretty good fit for me...but then again, this isn't the place to settle down for now. gotta aim higher...

my uncle sort of reminded me of something that i've been trying to avoid for the longest time. what do i want for a career? if i'm not accepted into NIE, what next?

To be honest, i have an answer. but it's the kind of answer most would not support. i wanna be a entrepreneur. it's the other thing i'm passionate about, but it's not easy getting down to it.

anyway, i've decided to take things a step at a time. i may have my plans but God is the One deciding the route i should take and i intend to follow His lead. besides, why should i be thinking so far ahead when i'm not even sure what may happen tomoro?

Photography

Recently, i acquired a new found hobby and i realised that i might be getting hooked to it. A hobby called photography. I've been learning a lot about it since last year but the whole thing sparked off when i found my dad's SLR...didn't know he was into it when he was younger...guess his eye for art is in the genes; causing me to fall in love with it.

The beauty of it all is just amazing. It has this irresistible ability to beautify the simple things in life, capture intricate details our eyes so often miss and bring back the joyous memories that we tend to forget.

Anyway, here are credits to people who sparked off this interest in me:

Andrew - for showing me the beauty of film photography and what it can do. double exposure and all. your pictures inspired me to do better. I'll work on it. and we'll arrange for another photography trip when you get back :D don't give up on this hobby yet k? Hope you'll be able to recover your SLR...

Fen Ning - for patiently teaching me the basics of photography, shuttle speed, depth of feel, F-stops and all. Thanks gal!!!

Sabrina - for letting me snap some shots with your D40 and for your encouragement. Your passion for photography is infectious! haha...and thanks for accompanying me on all those trips we made to the reservoir to snap.

Mary - for being my photography buddy in the office and for showing me great pictures that Leona took! haha... thanks for accompanying me on the trips we made around TP to snap. We'll work together towards owning a DSLR k?
