CAGED

It feels like a cage.



Simultaneously, I am facing a daily dose of text.



When text seems to rain heavily, I will sit at a corner, and let the wonderful shadow fall on me.



I wish there was a joy pill.



I admit the lonely tension building up in me.



Just wished it was more lively.

a story about photographers

Photographers, there are plenty.

One of them are the eyes of the law who keeps an eye on you.



And there are a group of people who are the eye, the photographers.

How does a photographer work?

At times, they have to challenge the law.



Sometimes, they put their self at the most dangerous spot to get the most outstanding photographs.



And for the extraordinary shots, a peak to climb or an awkward position to be in, they will do it ALONE.



But the most admirable feature about them, is their creative perspective.

Attempt at Getting Back

It's been eons since I blog, due to the hectic schedule!

NS was fun though its a very big laughing stock to Malaysians and other country who has military version of national service like Singapore.

Which government will name all NS-men after our national car, they call us "wira" in camp.

And eating 6 times a day will not fulfill anyone's assumption of loosing weight when you go for national service. But one thing really suck, it's the hair! I am getting quite used to it now!

I will post up the pictures soon!

I left NS on the 13th and reached singapore on the night it self, and super duper tired la!

Next morning went for orientation, it's quite weird at first but i adapted to it well and it was fun over all! And we sleep real late at night! 4am!

School's starting tomorrow, I saw my timetable and I really don't get a single thing, don't even understand it! Too much code and short forms!

Will blog when I have really settled down, updating sooon!

Insert the tape. Pause, Play and Pause. You wont want to hit the rewind, You wont want to hear our past frames again and again.

Okay, skip that.

I am beginning to think that "The Reader" is one of the most beautiful artistic movie ever but its definitely wasn't analytical to me. Only SI ON was showing his hidden talent of deciphering hidden pixels of the movie while I knew I have a rather long route to go.

While I admired his analysis, I do admired its cinematography. It changes my perception about cinematography alot.

I thought extraordinary cinematography are like those in independent directed film. Where every frame is paused has its potential to be an award winning photograph. Some eyes in the industry are just that great.

Films that have great cinematography and potential of winning the most award winning photograph are those done by Michael Bay's eye. Like transformer. I thought only extremely rectangular ratio movie will look cool, or colour corrected to its peak will be nice too.

But when I look at "The Reader", it changed. It doesnt matter, it can be the usual cinematic ratio of 16:9 and not something you cropped, it not need to be colour corrected to be eye catching or to make colour more lunatic.

In my opinion, the cinematography in "The Reader" has its own genre, its called realist. In my opinion i called it realistic, but maybe professional has its definite terms. The reason its cinematography is named realistic because every frame is just how we see it.

For example, the way they shoot her taking of her shoe, its just like how you look to a person next to you taking of their shoe. Get the drift? Its not artistically and meticulously constructed, its just simply yet cool.

Ah well, some movie talk there. Toodles till next time.

SOLO SINGAPORE

0600 - Woke up, I guess I was able to due to the routine I had in NS.

0745 - Departed for Singapore via First Coach, the bus was empty. only 7 people including me. but the seats are more curvy and have a softer head rest. Because it is a new bus, but it does not have the tv yet. So I was bored!

1245 - Reached Singapore, and got a little confused with my self printed map from google maps. I even have the map which i can see the real buildings from the top. Just in case =(

1300 - Found the MRT station! Was so early because the enrollment package collection time is 3 pm at my polytechnic. Took the MRT to chinatown (Singapore's version is cleaner and people cross the road by the traffic light ) And that's where the solo-venture began. I went to chinatown to buy the overrated Lim Chee Guan BAK KWA. If you dont know, is those BBQ pork slices you get during CNY. 21 Singapore Dollar for 500G, GASP! Only have 10 pieces.

1330 - Was still free, took the MRT to Vivocity. Wandered around the skydeck, which is very empty on a weekday. And very very hot! Then had carl's junior for lunch. The burger was so awesome. It has two beef patties, onion rings and bacons! But the price was awesome too, 9.10 Singapore Dollar!

14 30 - Took the MRT to the nearest station to my polytechnic, MRT ride was around half an hour. And its not that near after all. A killing 30-40 minutes walk. CAN CRY.

1600 - Reached Temasek Polytechnic. WEEE! Collect enrollment package and read through. Looks like I have two orientations and I only get to attend NS from the 8th to 13th April only compare to the desired length of a week. So got eaten up for a while. HAIH, CRIES MORE. HAHA.

17 30 - Took a cab to the MRT station, I rather pay 6.50 Singapore Dollar than walking for 30-45 minutes which will make me miss my 6.45 bus.

1815 - MRT was fast, reached the station kinda early. Had no time for a heavy dinner so went to a mini mart to bought some bun and green tea. HAH.

1845 - Departed! And all the way back I was thinking how am I gonna attend NS as desired due to the pack schedule. Haih, i might not be able to attend for a week, but i should appreciate the fact that I get to attend it for a few days before I depart for REAL to Singapore.

HAIH.

God, tell me what to do =)
