JOEYT.


My life is filled with the best cliques of people one can ever wish for. As I take my stroll to the bus stop every morning, my eyes set vision to the things happening around me - the people, the actions, the shirts and dresses they're wearing, the things they're carrying, and so many more. Sometimes, I secretly make a guess. I guess where they're heading to, what they're going to do when they have reached their destination, and then question, "why?". That leads me to a whole new set of questions and thinking - their purpose of their individual vision. With each set of vision, I compare against each to and fro. After all these analytical thinking, I take theirs and make comparison to mine. I realised the tag they put against me as a "Lost Boy" is none but true. I like to think back a lot on the things that I've done as a form of reflection. These 'reflections' are mostly made up of people. Because of this group of people, my life is less dull. Some sparked up my life tremendously, while some are just random bystanders that found their way into my memory. In this humble photo blog of mine, I hope to make-known the importance of these people in my life. I have finally figured out my purpose in life. Needless to say, academic commitments make up a big percentile as a student. But most importantly, these people. They really mean a lot to me.

my nephew, pondering whether he should take that step out to touch my brother's workstation, after countless harsh warnings.
my favourite local band, cracking their brains, trying to finish writing their new song. which chord to play, which beat to introduce etcetera. 
together holding hands, this couple makes the choice between catching a movie, or going back home. 
jump, or not to.?
a farmer picking the weeds.
that very musical note that will fit into the song so perfectly.

Since this is my very own photography blog (as unofficial as it is), i've decided to cut the process short and submit one of my assignments for my gems module (The Revealing Eye In Digital Photography) here. 
Black Is Beautiful - Lighting & The Decisive Moment
"Life is all about making the right decision, one wrong decision, and you're gone." my mom once told me this. As cliche as it sounds, we all bow down to this statement and nod our heads in agreement.

i remember crashing class 4/3 chalet with dex, carvey and zhu an. i remember everybody getting so hyped up in class when jeanne just came into our class as a new foreign student. miss caroline chan is the most patient teacher i've ever came across. there was once when she brought me into the staff room and questioned my goals. during that period of time, i really wanted to get into temasek poly's product design innovation. she switch on her desktop, look for the correct contact number, and called temasek poly to enquire about the course's COP. which teacher will do that for you.?

we were really close at one period of time, meeting for supper almost every night, pool and lan dates, and a whole lot of other things we managed to find to do in the wee hours. after playing long hours of football in school, we'd share a taxi back and always get condemned by the taxi driver for being sweaty and smelly. who cares. sadly, he has since moved to another part of singapore, which makes it very difficult for us to meet.

these are the only few subjects that i encountered during my desaru trip. my desaru trip was made less enjoyable because i was carrying my tripod all around the entire day. i needed my tripod because we were going to see fireflies that night. but upon reaching, i was told that no photography was allowed. what a wasted trip.
this indian dancer appeared at one of my condo's function during deepavali. she was one of the young performers for the day. i know, i was never into indian dancing. but she was really good.  
this was taken at one of the genting trips i went with my aunt and family. this guy played with snakes and white tigers during his performance. very crazy guy.
when he first came into my school, most of us didn't like him. he was selfish on the court. but skillful, we had to agree. i will never forget that spectacular goal he netted during one of our west zonal games - a half-volley just outside the penalty box. awesome shit.

this cutie appears at the swimming pool of my condo 5pm sharp with his car. his driving is bad - he drove over my feet a couple of times already.
