Long day it has been yet again. Finally its pay day ! Although it was only my basic pay, but im sure its enough for a lens. Erm, ok maybe i'll put my purchase(s) on hold. My ATM is getting pretty worn out. With $39.98 left after today. I'll definitely need to refinance my expenditure for next week. And my day couldnt be any worse after i dropped my circular polarizor while shooting at esplanade park today. I saw it dropped perpendicular to the ground and cracked into 3 pieces: Plastic Ring, Rubber Ring and Glass element. Fixing the 3 pieces back, i noticed there's a small chip on the glass element but it seemed that it didnt affect the photo which i've taken... But still..... heart pain sia..

Dropped by Cathay, Alan Photo and John 3:16 juz now to look for pami tripod. These places really makes me itch man. Damn it.. The manfrotto monopod is going for $90! Well.. i cant think of any reason to own a monopod at the moment except
1) it's convenient to carry arnd for small places which cant accomodate my tripod.
2) it's a gd walking stick.
3) it's cool to swing at people.
4) it's even more cool to swing at dogs.
5) it's much lighter compare to a tripod.

Bah!~ I juz want one. T.T

I took some IR photos today ! Finally..
1) it didnt rain.
2) im out of the house at late noon and sunny.
3) i have my tripod with me.
4) i wasnt lazy.
5) i have time to spare.

With the above conditions, then i am able to shoot IR. Condition number 4 is primely the main one. Anyway here are some IR photos to share. ( :

A shout out to all Suzumiya Haruhi Fans ! Episode 12 was awesome. Yuki rox on guitar with her alien/witch costume. Although there werent really much technical playing but melodical wise, listening to her play simply makes my finger itch to shred on some DR strings. Hirano Aya, the voice of Haruhi, works well for me. I like the songs that she did for the OP and especially the My Way song in Epi 12.. This anime never stop to amaze me. The plot and quality of the animation is juz superb. Thumbs up to Kyoto Animation for putting such a high standard on minor details like hand movements. If only i have the time to read the novel of suzumiya haruhi. Then it would be more thrilling to watch it on anime juz like reading/watching bleach.
