Couple of wants... wants.. and more wants...

Ordered my new toy!


*MUAHAHAHAHA~*
With a mini flash..... (ok.. i itchy finger and changed my order into a MULTICOLOR FLASH!) woot~ meaning there's a colour filter to change the colour of the flash! wahaha~

Can't wait for them to arrive! *giggles*

Hopefully i won't neglect vivi. :p

=======================================

The Holga is IT! For just $16.99 (not SGD ah.. i'm paying more than dat!) you get yourself a plastic camera which will truly allow you to finally break free of the correctness in photography. This innocent looking toy might actually be the best choice for street photography: there are no settings to hassle with, no focus or f-stop, so it’s easier to shoot on the move and keep up with the fast pace of the streets. And maybe its best trait is that the Holga just doesn’t look like a real camera, definitely not a serious one, so people just tend to ignore it and go about their business. (Doesn’t this camera remind you of these toy cameras which spray water on the unsuspected victim?)

One of the cool things about the Holga is that you can try all kinds of weird ‘tricks’ and since there isn’t really a correct way of using a Holga, anything goes… for example, you can advance the film between exposures only half way to purposely get a two in one image, or at least claiming you did… And of course the Holga’s most recognized feature – the double exposure although most double exposures done with a Holga are accidental; The Holga does not automatically advance to the next picture and as a result the double exposure is just bound to happen every so often.

Another fun thing to try with a Holga is making panorama images. Unlike panoramas taken with other cameras, with a Holga there’s no need to stitch the images together on the PC, the whole stitching thing is done directly on the negative. And it’s a Holga! Meaning the panorama doesn’t have to be perfect, actually probably better that it isn’t :)

And finally one tricky thing about the Holga is shooting at night. See, since the Holga doesn’t have a light meter or a real shutter speed and F stop settings you find yourself at the mercy of your film’s speed. (Which by the way is 120 film) (just another bonus!) The new Holga has the most advanced feature; the B exposure. Sounds great, no? However, the way it really works is that you need to press the shutter release button for as long as you want your exposure to be. Not to mention the pain and suffering your poor finger must go through, it is also impossible to hold your breath or keep steady for too long and even if you rest your camera on something, there will still be that horrible camera shake (the ugly cousin of the attractive motion blur).

This is where your choice of film can help you. If you don’t mind long exposures go for the 400ASA film and expose your film in the average lit area for about 30-40 seconds! 800ASA will allow you to cut down your exposure time to a good 10-15 seconds. But at last you will see the light when you use 3200 ASA which tolerates an exposure of somewhere between 1-3 seconds. Yippee!

Shopping at HK;
Bargains can defintely be found everywhere. Aint exactly super cheap but they are still a tad cheaper den the stuff found here. Everything just looks DIFFERENT from wad's found locally. So it's pretty refreshing looking at new stuff available. Their shops are just puny-sized.. pretty much like far east plaza concept. They have a weird culture of "No Fitting" aka no trying on the clothes in their puny shops. Their shoe range is just AMAZING.. we can stay in each shop for close to 30mins or more... Well, time just flies when you are having fun!

We had a ball of time walking through each shops.. Never got tired although we walked the ENTIRE day.. from 9am till 10pm. i think i gt more exercise den i had in months!

I love their SASA!! it's available at every corner of the street~ Their range of cosmetics and skin care are just to DIE FOR.. Majorlica, DHC, Palgantong, Naris... I WANT!!!

My best SASA buy:
Neutrogena Deep Hydrating Masks (5 pcs) = SGD12
In local watsons', the exact same thing is selling at 30bucks... o.O
More than 50% off! So i swiped 2 boxes... Those are my HG. hehe~

My 2nd best SASA buy:
Lancome Hypnose Waterproof Mascara = SGD 26
Wasnt sure how much it costed locally but it's highly raved as the HG mascara..
Just found out that local stores sells at SGD42.... o.O
Grrr!!!! Had i know, i would have gonna another one!

Weather in HK;
One word: PERFECT!~ *BIG Smile*
Temperature hovering between 21 to 26 degrees.... Perfect air-con temp...
Their day is bright yet no sun-rays directly hitting our skin..
Breezy.. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their weather...
Thank God it was sunny all the 4 days we were there.. ;) Just a little fogging towards the night time... a little cold i think.

People in HK;
Handsome and pretty people EVERYWHERE... even the guys working in SASA looks so attractive.. Even my hotel reception guy is CUTE!!! *gush*
The SA in their shops are so pretty! fair skin... ;D

A little write-up review of the places we went to...
Declaimer: All in my honest opinion.. you might or might not agree, well, you be the judge.. ;)

1) Disneyland
I felt it was GREAT! First-time going there so the experience was good enuff for me. The fireworks are amazing! It's totally worth the money. Must 'chope' a good seat on the floor before the fireworks timing, if not you will be left standing. I went there on a monday and it's quite crowded. Dun miss their DAY PARADE!! happily snapping tonnes of pictures~ Did a lot of the coin-embossing thingy, HK10 each. thot it makes good souvenirs. Didn't manage to take all the rides cause we went there a tad late, about 1+pm. Should have gone there earlier.

2) Tung Chung MTR Outlets (at citygate shopping centre)
MUST GO!!!! All factory outlets are here. Esprit, puma, nike, levis', united colour of benneton, new balance, quiksilver, etc...

3) Avenue of stars + symphony of lights
Waste time.
Maybe our expectations were a little high. Just some lights on the building opposite the harbour. Didnt really enjoy it much.

4) The peak + wax museum
Must Go!
The peak tram ride was nothing great. Just managed to peek a couple of night scenes on the slanted peak tram. We didnt pay extra for the 'sky terrace' so there's no 360 degrees city view for us. BUT we managed to get some nice shots at one of the exits just outside the 'burger king'. hee.
Wax museum is also a must go!! Me and my friends went crazy inside! Touching and caressing andy lau.. aaron kwok.. hehe.. some parts have props for us to play dress-up! Enjoyed throughly there.

5) Shopping at argyle centre and allied centre.
More like far-east plaza style. Tiny shops to browse through. Most of them has NO trying-on policy. Can buy more stuff at cheaper prices.

There's a LOVELY shop at the argyle centre, which does handiwork craft. they even do personalised engraving on metal and wood stuff. We went crazy inside as well. It's like you choose an item (e.g. keychain, mirror compact) den they will engrave on it. Makes REALLY good souvenirs!!

6) Shopping at Granville road.
Rows of shops along the roads. Nice stuff to find there.

7) Shoppin at Ladies Market.
Pasar Malam style. Did some souvenir shopping there as well.

8) Sa-Sa
EVERYWHERE!!! Did quite a lot of cosmetic shoppin there.

Ok.... pictures to come in the NEXT post.. i hope~ heehee~

Been REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY busy the few weeks with SCHOOL.. Coming to the end of my 2nd week of EVERY NIGHT lectures.. yes.. life's so sad for me. Rather depressing to head to school every single day..

The first week is particularly difficult to pass, cos i'm basically developed an ANTI-SCHOOL syndrome..

Skipped thurs for Von's bday celebration.. *HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY GER!!*..
Skipped fri class cos i felt really tired and sick..
Another beautiful saturday, went for a pal's opening shop ceremony.. *CONGRATS DUDE*
Rushed for lab session, which ended early *YIPEE~*
Rushed to meet my besties for a movie...
Sunday... REST!!! just church on the morning... followed by much-needed nua-ing at home...
all these ON TOP OF daily work... *phew~*

This week.. once again.. Classes every night *including tonight :(* 'cept for friday which is a PH!! This week is rather OK for me.. just i'm a little used to the hectic schedule.. Sometimes i can slp just in a blink of an eye.. LOL.. on the bus.. on the MRT.. you name it..

Tmr's a Great day for me to sleep in... i desperately need SLEEP. I still have ONE MORE... just ONE MORE WEEK of intensive classes, before everything slacken a bit again... TAHAN! REN!! one more week!!

But God's been great.. Many times i just wonder how i can keep my spirit high with such a HUGE problem bothering me... It's God... i just know it is..

Thank you... Mucho Grascia... Merci Beaucoup...
