Weird people on a basketball court
so i had a lot of material to blog bout from my two experiences playing ball at courts around my new area. i sound like i've just moved when it's been a few years already. but i still don't really know the area. but as so often is the case i'm kinda lazy to type them out. especially so when it involves loads of unnecessary description of people, etc. i'd get around it if i ever get into the mood.
well, i'm just feeling like uploading a few pictures so i don't lose them if my hard disc crashes all of a sudden. all the more so since my pc's infected with the infamous sony rootkit (go google it if u haven't heard bout it). and from ricky martin's album at that. grr. and again blogging bout sony's one of the several blog ideas i had since last time but it fizzled out before i got down to it again.
my room again. now time to fish out my previous picture of it for a before and after. and this was taken around september i think. when exams haven't started. it's in an even worse mess now what with wires and a ton of papers joining the fray. i ought to take monthly pics of my table to check its progress
latest jigsaw. the new panorama-styled ones. now hanging on the wall behind sis's bed. (i wonder how she can stand that. i'd feel so insecure with something hanging over my head when i sleep lol) it's 500 pieces i think, so was done pretty fast. esp with dad and sis's late nights. they have so much longer attention span than me. i can never sit at one place for long. started off pretty well, piecing quite a lot. then the lines came in and it was just staring at pieces not knowing what to do. i wonder if i've blogged bout it. i so prefer gradients in my jigsaw puzzles to lines. give me a blue sky anytime rather than some structure. and people normally comment on how tough it is when a jigsaw's just some scenery with the sky, sea, etc. gradients are so much easier imo. even if it's blue there'd almost always be that gradual colour change and you can kind of predict what shade and hue you want for the next piece. but i can never make out lines. never know what the next will look like. doesn't help that i don't like to refer to the picture on the box (another difference with me and my dad & sis. i'm such the oddball in the family)
i shouldn't have taken it at night what with lights just above the table. couldn't get a nice picture of it at all. i so liked the transition from black to colour but couldn't get a good shot.
take 3 of 3. on hindsight, i guess i shouldn't have used flash. and it seems kinda obvious who took the picture from the position of a certain displaced someone. (suddenly i feel an urge to take a picture where the person rushing back will trip and fall a la anime heh)
the science research team ^^. ugh, and it's these occasions where i wanna berate my inability to think of names instinctively. it normally wouldn't have occured to me to take the group photo until the science fair i think (even though i've been taking photos so often now with the need for pictures of our research process) but it was such a rare thing we got all five of us down in school lol. i think we've been at it for a few weeks liao, and throughout all our meetings etc we've never managed to get everyone free. even during the initial stages of brainstorming for ideas. so glad then that i just had to take this 'commemorative(sp) photo'. first and last time our team is together? lol. so i'd be off to japan next week. then hongyi will be going china soon after. and shiu hei back to hong kong. then i'm off to the youth camp again. and during the science fair hongyi and zhenhao might be off for competition. aaron might have another project. oh gosh. we're such busy people haha. and mrs ong's like so confident that we will start conflicting along the way. and almost like she wants us to argue. but we'd be together won't we? ^^. all the friendly banter on friday make me convinced we can do it and get something. kinda hopeful. then the arguments jokingly and such. i like this kind of atmosphere =).
take 1 of 3. i forgot to set the timer heh. it's so troublesome having to set it after every picture. i think it'd be more practical to make it permanent unless you turn it off, no? and well, zhenhao looking gay as usual :P
take 2 of 3. somehow i guess i knocked the camera when i ran back. so tt explains the position. well, i could just crop it but i kinda like the background heh. and oh well, i blocked hongyi. and shiu hei with his sleepy eyes...
