It's 4.40pm and I have no idea why am I still in school now. It's not weird for me to be school on a Sunday, but today, my plan was actually to stay at home and rest, as I woke up with a sore throat and cough, until I decided to come to school to use the internet for an event. And well, it's as if things couldn't have been more wrong, when I got to school, my body temperature rose, and the "event" that I came here for, was erm, "cancelled". Nonetheless, when a rational person would just give it up and go home, I gave in to the thing they call "hope".
It almost felt like the situation a year ago, putting something else ahead of my own health, again. Why do I always do that? Have I not learned enough? Whatever happens to "once bitten, twice shy"? Instead, I'm like, "continuously bitten, never shy", and I always trap myself in a vicious cycle. In fact, "bitten" is not exactly the right word to use, but there ain't quotations that have a milder words and mean the same thing that will make my writing more fanciful. Yup, as if my fingers aren't shivering enough from the air cond(which I, ironically have been saying is set to too high of a temperature when I was in a better condition) in the lab while typing this, I need to put in more jibber jabbers. In this case, it's more like I was the bad, or rather, "not so good"(desperate attempt at self consolation here) guy previously. And now, it must be the work of karma, that bitch.
And noone knows about this, not a living sould knows about what's going on with me. I've got no courage to tell anyone about what happened. Not Jenn, not Jia Pin, not Juan Mun, and not even Yok Yin knows about this. Yes, they know that I've been quite down(some of them), but I really never dared to tell them what was the cause of it. It's not because I'm afraid of any snide or judgemental comments from them, it's because I don't know how to tell them, or I'm very confused and lost myself. And sadly, the chestaches are coming again. Hence, aside from vaguely ranting here in my blog, I guess this time, I'm on my own? Someone even told me I'm very lost and I'm not myself anymore, to which I reply with silence, 'cause I don't know myself.
Wow, who could've guessed a guy with a forehead hot enough to boil an egg can talk so much? And it wasn't even the purpose of the post! Anyway, now that I've written so many words, I guess I should balance the post out with photos, though they might not be distributed evenly throughout the whole post, still, whatever works. So here goes:
As mentioned, Raymond, Grace and Chee Kean were having their housewarming party yesterday, a barbeque by the pool. Hence, we were invited and I brought along my camera to snap some friends that I have not met for a long long time.
And of course, a few desperate attempts at food photography, which, I think didn't turn out well. I wasn't too happy with myself. Heck, I AM not happy myself. =S
Food, food.
One of the hosts, Raymond, working hard to keep the guests fed throughout the whole night.
Even though towards the end, Sean took over the barbeque pit after realising that we have a lot of food left but limited charcoals.
Here's a bunch of people that I have never seen for very long. Actually, it's just Andrew, Pui Ee, Yin Mun, Quen Seng and Vway Hau. I see the rest quite often.
After most of the other guests have left, we helped clean up and went up to their house for some chit chats, red wines and interesting footages of Chee Kean the night before.
Last but not least, my personal favourite shot of the night, Yin Mun with my 50mm f1.8 lens. Yea I chipped off her hand, but I'm having troubles composing half body shots with that lens, hence, I'm quite happy with this.
