^ Some kipi for you (I didn’t take this picture)

Just to let you guys know, I’ll be joining a photography competition known as “Singapore Young Photographer Award 2008″ a.k.a SYPA 08

This is the first time I’ll be participating in a Photography competition so I really don’t know if my photos will create a “WOW” impression on the judges. Have been going around Singapore the past few days to capture a couple of shots to be submitted. Got to get to know of this competition a week after I got back form my spring trip to Tokyo ^^;

Will have to submit a set of 6 prints that cover at least 4 out of the 8 subjects matters.

  • Abstract
  • Architecture/Buildings
  • Children at Play
  • People at Work
  • Portrait(s)
  • Nature
  • Still Life
  • Night Scene

The submission dateline’s 30th April 2008. I have a really wicked idea for the “People at Work” but I wonder if I’ll get shot down by the judges if I did that :)

More information can be found on their website: http://www.sypa.org.sg/2nd_sypa.htm

Hope I win something :)

MOE computers!

Remember the older days of D.I.Y computers when they all came in the standard beige color which were way ugly and plain? Even with more casing varities now, you might still want to ‘bling bling’ your computer casing. If you fancy not the bright cathode lights and fans, have no fear!

Rain, and more rain

Alright then, sorry for the recent lack of posts. Work is tiring me out as it takes up about 60% of my daily time.

Over the past few days, we have seen blogs reporting about the mysterious website asosbrigade.com that popped out. With it foretelling the end of the world on 22 Dec together with copyright information for SOS-dan and stuff in Japanese. Many speculate the release of a R1 Haruhi license in 3 days.

I seriously don’t give much of a damn about this. You haruhi fanboys/girls can go “OHHH” and “AHHH” over it while I await ef – the fairy tale of the two which is to be released on the same day :)

 

It has been raining over the past 2 days as well. Radio reports places with floods and stuff. It’s kinda both good and bad as (good) it isn’t as hot (highest temp was 28 C) , and the bad, floodings and jams on the roads.

I tried to do some night shots of the rain from my baloncy, didn’t turn out that great due to my poor skills ^^;

Also, I realized my Asuka Summer ver figurine is starting to bend way over. In countering that effect, I’ve placed some metal things (the ones used in math brain puzzle games) to support her for a bit. Hope it works

    Fighto dayo! I’d love to enter photography comps, but I don’t have much time to head out and take photos.

    no category for figures? :-(
    the prize looks attractive: winner = $5000! O_O
    good luck.

    Well figures category could be include in portraits, but I doubt it. Good luck on the competition.

    @Hiji & bj0rn: As much as I would like to do it, it somehow doesn’t fit into the theme I am currently looking at. But will be a cool photo if I ever did. Just need to look for the couple that’s willing to ^^

    @Hexlord: Haha. Thanks!

    @Adun: Send in photos of your figures!

    @gordon: No categories for figures, but they may qualify under ‘Still Life’ I think. I want the money too!

    @Belela-san: Thanks!

    Those prizes look sweet. :O
    Good luck!
