black and white photos

are harder to shoot than colour photos. i dunno. i tried taking so many .. well not that many.. it was a beautiful day and i forced myself to get out of the house instead of being cooped up in the room like a recluse.
i took the train to kew. stopped there for an hour or 2. it was quite cold. but i wore the same amount of clothing that i wore when i came here in autumn.
my interest in b/w became imminent on the day i saw the photo of hirosue ryoko, sitting on a bench after a photoshoot and she was in her winter coat, cupping her hands over a warm cup of coffee or something.. it was black and white la.. but yes.. that was the time i wanted to find a model who could strike that kind of natural flair.
well, it helped that she had a cute face la.. lol
anywyas, here are some of my b/w photos.

i didnt have a model so i had to make do with what nature had to offer.
right other than that.. i ate too much during the weekend. not good. back to 80. it's a bloody big yoyo.
i don't care anymore. lol
tried and made my own chili oil. too much chili. cooked daging masak merah with tomato puree. ( definitely WRONG)
bah.. had to finish it anyways.
level 51++ on wow.
watched Full metal panic fumoffu again. I SOOOO WANNNA GOOOO HOMEEEEEE. it's soooo boring here... :P i don't go clubbing. i don't like drinking beer in the pub.
i like speeding. cars are very expensive. and cars can only go so fast. else it'd be bye bye world. lol
i like reading but with the time i have now.. no time to read.

bah humbugs.. so what to do .. stay cooped up in the room or the kitchen trying to cook new things..
this is the little bit past quarter mid life crisis thingy .. i think in a few weeks time i should be alright. cos right now it's the feeling of what the heck i am doing with my life. lol

You have time to update your blog, head to places and snap nice b&w pics, so why do you still not have time hmm? :)

Btw, I think b&w would look nicer with a model in it. There's the classic touch.

just yesterday, i watched an episode of South Park (Season 10) and they made fun of people who played WoW ... it was hilarious!

naturally, you came to mind. muahahaha~

yeh, a model would have been good for the pics. =)
twisty: long story. no time. :P too much of the hustle and bustle of the city.

piffy: yeah so i heard. i was told it was funny as well. but i don't like to watch southpark unless i HAVE to. :P

piffy & twisty: b/w yes it's nice. but models are not easy to come by.
just need to find a willing model. cos it's not just a 15 mins thing if wanna get the model to do poses or stay still while i shoot. lol.
:p

got my japanese visa.

1 year multiple entries. each entry 90 days. nice ! anyways, i think i did mention that japanese efficiency was also seen in the embassy ???!!?? alright, please scratch that. the time i went was early in the morning and i was one of the first person there so service was fast. i found the service to be comparable to other embassies where they are not really that quick.. well.. can't blame them just that it was my bad luck that my visa wasn't printed. 1. i went in the morning at 10 at stated on the paper. 2. she tried to find it.. couldn't find my passport. and then she said it's not ready yet.. please come back in the afternoon. T_T. (i shouldn't have woken up so early) 3. i went back to the embassy after lunch. took warren st to green park. it was stated severe delays but when i went on it.. it was quite quick. 4. i was the second in line to collect visa. not ready.. T_T.... he said.. 5 mins.. they are gonna print it now... 5. i waited.... 5 mins.... 10 mins.... 15 ...

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other...

rain rain rain ...

i went to thomas global exchange on sunday. there was a long queue just to change money. so indeed my recommendation of the place was correct. it was in a quiet place. but it looked alright. there were lotsa ppl. and ppl who were walking past were very intrigue by this long line in front of a money changer. that's about it. i still need to change a little bit more. so i'll wait for my next round b4 i go there again. it was pissing rain outside. i thought i'd have to wait till it settled down. but as it is with london's rain, it just is not like the torrential downpour back in msia. lighting and thunder. yippee.. i used to hide whenever i hear thunder and see the lightning. and then i grew out of being scared of it. now i'm scared of a different kind of thing. that aside, nothing else is special. i brought food to work today. from the baguette i bought from somerfield on sunday. it was 62p for 4 wholemeal ones. i stuffed it with corned beef i bought from sainsbury. a...
