Aside from my fascination with clouds, i actually also do have a love for trees. below: walkway from restaurant to tanjong beach (i was using my new zoom lens.. so couldn't take a wide angle shots.. was in an awkward situation )

turning 23

i've got a new lens. finally committed myself to buying one after 2 years. i conclude that photography is a hobby that forces you to commit to because of the required investment. the more you read/learn about it, the more obligated you are to but more really expensive stuff.

i got myself a sales job at some laptop roadshow this weekend. i just walked into the shop and asked whether they were recruiting for the pc show and voila. haha. i guess i just wanted to do some form of work.

Just had dinner with my parents at The Cliff. ambience was great.. food was enjoyable but not like "WOW". i guess the menu this week was swiss.. and the swiss don't really excel in fine dining in terms of variety in general. but i enjoyed it nonetheless. Well.. service was great.. was glad they didn't give me some giant slice of cake and sing the birthday song. it was a nice little chocolate mousse-ish cake with mint leaves :) people there dress really nice..probably cuz it's mainly tourists and they do pride in dressing well for dinners.. especially in comparison to singaporeans. so it was a nice touch of class to the place :)

surrogate bf RAWKS. i got my prezzie from him through mail - a wooden plank with my name and a figure of a girl doing a latin pose drawn on it. when i saw the latin pose, couldn't help but laugh. i love simple, thoughtful gifts. Anyway, surrogate just sent the first bday sms (on the actual day), still waiting for actual bf to send. hee. see how long he takes to send considering that he's busy playing risk with his friends right now. heh.

celebrating with bf 'tmr'. hope it will be nice.
