Miraculously scrapped through the presentation somehow. Been sleeping at 3-4am the past three nights, just trying to get that shit project up. I think the group owes me if we do quite well! Don't know why the onerous task of compilation etc always end up on me, maybe the streak of responsibility and perfectionism within me. Or maybe it could just be that I don't trust the people I work with. Ah well. I would never let my project die even if my group mates are fucked up. Nope.
Now to take a short 1-2 day break before I start revising for the exams. Can't wait to go shoot again!

r.a.n.t
expletives ahead. skip if you're easily offended.
fuck!
why do people in my school insist on having a video accompany each presentation that we're having? is it like some kind of fucking standard thing? and the worse thing is that it may be easy to say that we want a video, we want to show this and that, but does the extra work justify for it? if it is not complementary at all, why waste fucking time doing it? especially when i am the idiot left editing it at the end. fuck!!
fuck. photography != video editing
one thing for sure, if this shit carries on, i can probably go into the video-editing field. lol.
and it's the last week before the one-week study break and exams will be here. i just want this term to end...fuck!!! then i can take a few days off to visit my mentor in k.l and start work on the first week of may.
my exhibition is still ongoing at objectifs. please do drop by if you can. someone expressed interest in buying one of my work. i am deeply touched. for once, someone actually thinks that my work is good enough to put on someone's wall! i do hope i will be getting more commercial photography work from now on. i am sick and tired of doing mindless design jobs. lol. not that i am very good at it.

Exhibition
Last night was the preview for the Shooting Home exhibition. I have learnt so much from this course and I think that I have taken my photography to another level. It was really challenging and mind blowing. Especially the nightly critiques that we had to sit through.
My particular theme was on shooting garbage (and hence the previous post's pun on trashy shots). I never realised how interesting garbage could actually be. Will be posting the shots that didn't make it to the exhibition on flickr when I have time.
Anyway, the exhibition will be held at Objectifs from 27 March to 13 April.
Here's the address:
Objectifs
12A Liang Seah Street
+65 6339 3068
My first exhibition. That is so unbelievable! Time to go back to school work. Can't wait for the holidays to end so I can go shoot again!

1st Session
Met up with the faculty and the other members of Shooting Home '06.
The faculty are really quite nice and they're trying their best to push all of us into directions that we haven't really thought about.
I got my initial project idea shot down but they kinda liked my second one. I'm not revealing much right now, I will have to see how it goes. It's challenging because I have never really done something like that and it might end up being all thrashy. Haha. So I'm crossing my fingers for this one. Gotta wake up early to catch the morning sun. Expect lack of sleep for the next few days, at least I won't be worrying about school work for a while!
One of the participants is an old acquaintance of mine. He led my secondary school trip to China 6 years ago. Singapore's such a small world!

Business of Busyness
Lately, things have been getting kinda wired up and crazy in school and in my life.
Next week, Shooting Home starts and I do hope that I will be able to come up with a theme by then. =|
I can't wait for this term to be over.
5 projects not done. 4 presentations due.
Argh. Summer holidays, you are just a 6 more weeks away!

Excitement
I woke up beary-eyed and speaking in a robotic voice this morning. Had a short chat with my brother who is going to be enlisted next Friday. It's been a while since we had something in common to talk about. After that, I went on to check for emails, as per my usual SOP.
Sitting in my mail box was the one email that got me absolutely excited the whole day - the email from Objectifs that I had been chosen for this year's Shooting Home course! Two weeks from now, I will be mentored by photographers like Ken Seet, Ernest Goh, John Cosgrove (editor of Photoi magazine), Alex Moh and Francis Ng with 9 other selected participants.
I was literally bouncing up and down like a small kid (a gorilla more likely) and I couldn't contain the excitement within.
I had mixed feelings about the portfolio that I hastily put together and submitted, thinking that I wouldn't be chosen at all. This must he the break that I have been waiting for. I must really seize this opportunity to discover the finer points of photography and hone my skills more. Perhaps, with this one chance; I would be able to go up closer to reaching my goals; towards greater self-expression and the capturing of the fleeting human spirit.
Hopefully, it will also be a platform for getting more commercial jobs as I still gotta earn back the money I spent on my gear. I should probably stop lying to my mom that I had "invested" my life savings in some fictatious stocks.
It's been a whole day and I am still unable to get over the exhiliration. Gosh it feels better than striking 4D or something!
