so here i’m sitting here on the 6th floor all alone while waiting for 1430hrs so that i can be done with my second last paper at the end of 1830hrs.
i’ve done all i can and it’s all up to God now too see if He’s sympathetic enough towards me so that he could help me get through today’s paper and not only passing but at the very least securing a B.
Earlier when i was texting with my girlfriend, i suddenly came up with this superbly rather lame phrase but i think it made quite a sense.
I rests my future on an 0.80cent pen and it did not matter because what all you need is that 0.02cents in your head.
What about you?
… is what that is keeping my awake until now but i have got to admit, waking up at 1900hrs the day before did contribute to my ability to not sleep throughout the night. I tried to sleep but i can’t T____T
So instead of wasting time lying on my bed pretending that i’m going to sleep very soon, i decided to just get the hell out of my bed and make good use of the remaining time left running solely on caffeine reserves.
This is the snapshot of the sky at 0900hrs and it should’ve looked brighter on picture than it is because it is very bright today morning but i guess the polarizer i had on the bayonet blocked out most of the sunlight to prevent distortion of reflections and also darkens the blue blue sky and gave it that gradient coloring T____T
This is one of my favourite shot of the day and probably for the next few following pictures, it’s all taken from the same place but different angle and different point of view.
Really, the fact that you’re able to manipulate the shutter speed is probably the best thing that a camera can have and i think that all cameras no matter what range, be it the conventional “point & shoot”, should just have that feature embedded it in.
Talking about this, the other day when i was attending my girlfriend’s friend’s 21st birthday party, i volunteered to take a picture for their group since i am the only one that’s not “part of them” at that moment and i was bestowed upon a Canon digital camera, just the ordinary point and shoot. Lighting was superbly poor and obviously they didn’t want the flash to be up and so that would only mean one thing, noisy pictures and she knows what contributes to noisy pictures and appreciates the drawbacks of high ISO speed pictures.
She set the ISO at 200 or was it 400, couldn’t remember. Since the camera is on Auto mode, everything was set to gave optimum exposures and the shutter speed was at a speed where unless you have a pair of steady hands like a tripod, it is almost impossible for you to get a clear shot. She had the necessary knowledge and yet didn’t made a sound but instead one of the my girlfriend’s friend who apparently know nuts about photography, lamented abusive words indicating that i am a very poor photographer, implied indirectly.
My girlfriend later defended me by saying i owned a higher end camera and her friend’s reaction was priceless. It turns out later in the conversation that she knows a wee bit about SLRs but just the models and probably some peasant knowledge about lenses so that she would look cool amongst her not so knowledgable friends because she kept on stressing on the same thing over and over again which is “L lens for portrait, buy la”. It is obvious.
There’s only one particular critical people i like, if you want to criticize, make sure you have the necessary skills to do so and the ability to perform better than what the criticized people can do. Else, just shut up and observe because the best way to gain respect is through listening. But then again, i held no grudges against that friend of my girlfriend.
It’s just that i couldn’t stand people like her throwing stones on me and left with no avenue of defending myself immediately because i made a promise to be good.
Whatever it is, my 3rd paper will be on the 22nd of May and the next one is 2 weeks away T___T i don’t know whether to call this a blessing in disguise or just pure mental torture. I did my Jurisprudence and Succession paper and i must say, i am not at a very convincing state of mind that both of them are going to get good marks for me and note that, i NEED at least 2 Bs this year in order to secure a Second Class Lower otherwise, i’m done for. Everybody who does the LLb programme knows how hard is it to even get 1 mark extra in a question, let alone 50.
