That's life.

I went back to school yesterday for my basic photography course.
On a SATURDAY!
Drats.

What you are going to see below are my attempted shots to be artistic.

Low angle... not.

No meaning.

I gave up. Decided to shoot something for my blog instead.

My group leader, Raymond, with Yunxuan, trying to explore her camera's functions.

Lines leading to nowhere.

They found a mirror in the pool!

If only the rubbish bin is not there...

Hahaha.

My sister said I should submit this photo instead of my 3 flowers photo.
Later you will see!

I should not cut Yx's body right.

Anyhow.

Dumb face!

BIRD! BIRD!

I wanna go home..

Tired of shooting artistic shots.
We took something we are good in instead.

Count the fingers!

Arhhhh... My facebook profile photo again!

I submitted this photo as my "best" photo out of ALL my failure shots.
Uhm... =.=
The person say I could have pull back the camera so that the flower in the foreground is not that distracting.
LOL.

BEE!
I chased this dumb bee all around the bushes and finally, a shot!
But the drain behind it...
FAIL!

So many people went for this course hor.
Heez.

Lessons learnt!
- Serious photography is... Oh my gawd.
I lack patience. I cannot see things in an artistic manner.
I prefer to shoot animals instead of still life, like buildings, sculptures..

- I prefer candid shots, like...

this..

I WANT A NEW CAMERA!

Ever wonder what your name means?
I went and ask my mother what on earth my name stands for.

I shall see my name....
Many people said that my name sounds and looks like a guy's.

許釧鳴

This is my name in traditional Chinese.

And interestingly, I can separate the words into simplified Chinese, 言午金川口鸟！
言/午/金/川/口/鸟
Speech/ noon/ gold/ water/ mouth/ bird

My name is so hard to dissect and interpret, because this name is given by some fortune teller.
Tsk.

Let's leave the surname aside.

I've got 2 elements in my name!
Gold and water! 金/川
For your information, the 川 is from 川流不息, which means endless flow of river.
我的命缺金缺水，所以用了“钏”这个字。
那个算命师还叫我多喝水和多冲凉来增加我命缺的水。
无聊。
没有想到吧？
:)

鸣呢...
可能是要我多说话吧？
要像一只鸟那样，叫个不停。
哈哈哈哈哈！

ENOUGH OF CHINESE.

=.=
Apart from finding out what my name means, I also found out that the kuku fortune teller said something about me to avoid early marriage.
(P.S: Erm, define early marriage?)
Because, according to his calculations, I will have an unhappy relationship and might get divorced.

WASEH!
Like that also can.

Being Single is the best. Whooots.

He also calculated for me what kind of jobs that I will definitely succeed in.

ENGINEERING and MARINE LIFE OFFICER.

DARN!
Engineering?!!!? I can't do physics at all!

Marine life officer...
Can I survive on this for the whole of my life?
Oh wells.

MEET MY JAPANESE NAME!
