Camera-mania.

Good afternoon!

Its 12pm and I'm slacking at home. Know why? I don't know why. Nawh, I'm kidding. Classes were cancelled and I have a tutorial to attend at 1pm, but thats about it. Guess I can use my extra time after class to work on my dissertation.

Anyway, someone asked me to post up the pictures and do a blog post on our dinner out. So, here I am...

I'll let the pictures to the talking though. We decided to eat at Fish & Co. as it was the only place in 1 Utama with a plug to charge her laptop. So we ended up walking around 1 Utama and Fish & Co. was probably the only place to fit the bill. I ended up lugging her laptop around looking for a plug point instead of dinner. Oh, and as 1 Utama is apparently everyone's favourite place, I met the ex there too. Her favourite place too perhaps? : )

Photobucket
Timeless memories. Credits to her. : )

Photobucket
I tried, but cannot compete with her photography skills.

Photobucket
Starfish! Credits to her again.

Photobucket
Credits to her again. Love the effect. : )

Photobucket
This is her. Daydreaming again I suppose. : )

Photobucket
This is Matt.

Photobucket
This is us. Heeee...

Photobucket
I'm warning you ahead of time. Pictures are all self-indulgent.

Photobucket
The infamous tongue.

Photobucket
Haha, cute much.

Photobucket
Lala-fied.

Photobucket
Hunger started to kick in.

Photobucket
And so we waited...

Photobucket
And it finally arrived.

Photobucket
Hungry much.

Photobucket
And she insisted I smell the food upclose and personal. xD

Photobucket
And we came to her main reason for going around 1U; WiFi.

Photobucket
Before we started clicking away again.

Photobucket
Tee hee...

Photobucket
Smile for me. : )

Photobucket
Cam-lovers.

Photobucket
It doesn't end there.

Photobucket
Smile for me. : )

Photobucket
See no evil.

Photobucket
Maybe just a peek.

Photobucket
Maybe not. =D

Photobucket
The end. *grins*

Well, thats about it. Movie review!

Caught Slumdog Millionaire with my college buddies a while back.

Photobucket
Slumdog Millionaire!

I went there not knowing what the show was really about and expected nothing (Perhaps that was why it was so nice). It ended up having a really good plot and though I wouldn't on normal occasions catch such shows, this was really worth catching. I wouldn't mind watching it again. : )

Verdict: 7.5/10 In my opinion, a should watch.

Thats all from me now.
Happy?

Have a good day. : )

Singapore 2009 Part 1

Heylo pomelo!

I'm feeling surprisingly good tonight. Lets start with what happened today before I go on any further and post up picture on my Singapore trip.

- woke up at almost 11am and those of you who know me know that I almost never wake up past 9am. Matt is an early bird. xD

- parents decided to go Tesco to shop and I ended up going there being a lamp post. Bought myself a pair of slacks (and almost a really nice shirt) and spent few hours with them. : )

- went through the agony of a dying phone battery and felt really helpless.

- spent an hour plus at the mechanic waiting for my car to be serviced and to undergo minor 'surgeries'.

- dad actually asked me what my plans are and he reiterated that he wants me to do my Masters after my current course.

- went to Digital Mall but the knucklehead still didn't have stock and I'm stuck with my half dying battery. Soon people, soon...

- wasted the rest of the day in front of the computer screen.

So much for my updates. Oh, and recently I went out with Ms Hitomi for dinner at Fish & Co. Click here for updates. Its all there.

Now, lets get on with some of the pictures I've obtained during my Singapore trip for the competition (which I believe I flopped badly for those of you wondering) and though I've yet to obtain the complete set of pictures, these are what I have for yours to take in. Enjoy!

PS: Excuse some of the pictures. Some are smaller sized...

Photobucket
Upon arrival, someone needed to smoke and found a corner such as this. =D

Photobucket
Pre-competition, hence our serious faces. Muka stress. xD

Photobucket
Post-competition. Muka relief (But honestly, I was bitterly disappointed with myself).

Photobucket
Part of our rooms. Fully furnished, air-conditioned, and has the necessary amenities (i.e. microwave, fridge, washing machine)

Photobucket
Long and Matt. He's the contestant from Vietnam. : )

Photobucket
Contestants from Malaysia, China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand.

Photobucket
Dinner at Thai Express.

Photobucket
Dinner! = )

Photobucket
Singapore is beautiful at night.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket
Sweet. : ) From L-R: Matt, Tony (China), Trang (Vietnam), Su (China), and Long (Vietnam).

Photobucket
Trang and myself. Hopefully I spelled it right.

Photobucket
Matt, Long and Tony.

Photobucket
Dan, the bestie who followed me to Singapore to support me (Actually he wanted a holiday too) Haha!

Photobucket
Love the backdrop.

Photobucket
Shhh, poser at work.

Photobucket
Nathanael and Matt.

Photobucket
Matt and Dan. Don't ask me why we looked like that.

Photobucket
De-stressing moment. No, I don't drink beer. Just had a Bacardi Peach Rum. Yumz. = )

Photobucket
Candid shots. : )

Photobucket
Dan @ MRT station. Stupid MRTs. Enough said. >.<" Photobucket
Bleah...goodbye Singapore!

Thats all for now. I promise a proper update with more pictures once I get them. Thank God for everything that happened, though I didn't exactly have a very good time there. Thank God for all the people I met, experiences cumulated. Thank God for giving me great friend(s). Dan, couldn't have survived the whole ordeal in Singapore without you telling me what to do, where to go, and whatevernot. Thanks for your support.

Till my next post, this is goodbye!

Here's to love...

Disclaimer of opinion: Matt has enforced it. xD

Stepping into the porch with a heavy heart,
Wind brushing against his cheeks, gently,
A full moon greeted his glance, an instant art,
Gazing upon the stars, it all felt so empty.

Contemplating the fate that now surrounded him,
He almost embraced it, half heartedly,
Silent tears was the only response he mustered, it seems,
So many thoughts, pushing the limits to insanity.

Yet he looked to God with much hope,
For every other reason to even utterly believe,
Was equaled to void, more than he could cope,
Men became an utter disappointment, no matter how sieved.



Enough of emo posts ei? Har har...

Psalms 42:5 ~ Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and...

Psalms 42:6a ~ ...my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you...



I've lost almost all hope in men. No offense, but I've been disappointed and let down too many a times. I promise that I will not express my emotions in such manner so freely anymore.

I believe in love, loving others and everyone around me but falling in love is bollocks.
Giving someone unconditional love is what I believe in, but at times I've given it away too freely.

But for now (and maybe for the unforeseeable future) you'll have mine.

I thank God I have Him to depend on.



PS: Singapore trip post will be up soon, once I've gotten all the pictures. Be patient. xD Here's a glimpse.

Close your eyes and make a wish...

Matt is back.

*applause and screams*

Okay, enough of the imagination. Good day. Its a Saturday, and I thank God that its the weekends. I seriously need Monday to come, cause my phone battery is being annoying and I can only get my new battery on Monday due to the fact that they will only have stock on that day.

So yesh...if I don't reply/reply late, you know why. : )

Anyway, just wanna do a shoutout to someone very the special in my life.

Photobucket
Happy Birthday Mummy dearest.

Yesh, I still call her mummy sometimes just for the sake of it. Happy Belated Birthday actually! A million thank you's and hugs couldn't do justice for what you've done for me. And I'm not afraid to admit that me loves you very the much. All the love, support, care, concern, shoulders to cry on, and just for everything you do everyday.

You're the best mum God could ever give anyone, and I thank God you're my mum.

Blessed Birthday!

Love,
Dearest Matt.

PS: My phone is still down. I need all your handphone contacts people! I've lost a lot of them! Till then, my posts shall be picture-less for quite a while. Sorraaayyy....: (
