Boom!

Okay, yesterday was really a long day of walking and walking. Met Alvin at hougang mrt at around 11am then trained down to Vivocity to get clothing for graduation party. So spent a lot of time walking and hunting from all the many shops there. Don't wish to elaborate the shopping part. So, had lunch at Marche after one round of looking at all the shops. I had the Aussie Ribeye while Alvin had another type of steak (I forgotten what it is already).

Ah, that's my steak, soup and root beer. Not very appetising because of my photo. LOL. But it's really nice.

Then continued walking around vivo. Bla bla bla bla, in the end got the shirt from Zara, jeans from Topman and shoes from Converse. After that Stephen called and asked us whether we could meet him at Clarke Quay because he was going to get his camera later. ;D So we took a train down to Clarke Quay, met him there. It was raining then, so help came from his dad who sent us to funan.

Stephen's mum met us at funan a while later. Had Swensen's for dinner. Then went to the camera shop to get Steppy's new camera! Nikon D90. The first DSLR to have a video recording function. Cool right :D So next time you want nice video call him. =P So Stephen, you're a happy boy now! HAHA.

Okay, then Stephen's parents fetch me home after that. Thank you! :D

Today, woke up quite early, because my dad called me like around 7.15am! I rejected the call, got up of bed and returned call to him. He said that the computer in his office was spoilt and needed my help. He needed the hard disk from the other computer at home. So I was told to dismentle the hard disk from the computer at home and pass it to him immediately. But I told him to look through the newspaper and call for professional help while in the meantime I try my best to remove it. In the end when I got it out he called and told me he already found a person to help him do it. -.- So the hard disk is back into the computer again. But at least I learnt how to get a hard disk out. (:

Alvin came over to my house at around 1.30pm. He suggested taking photos of balloon bursting and he bought two packs of water balloons. We started filling up the balloons one by one, then setting up the place for our shooting. Guess the location, in the toilet -.- Haha, but at least we don't have to worry about getting the place wet. So after some preparation we started bursting balloons one after another and spammed my camera shutter.

This was my first try in such a thing. Many turned out bad, either too early or too late. But some came out really nice, it should be considered lucky! ;D Perseverance pays off. So Alvin was the popper while I took the pictures. We tried with an airgun first (Oo) but it just couldn't pierce the balloon. Too week I guess. Then we tried with the swiss army knife, works wonders. And finally using a pin which was the most effective in bursting the balloon.

This one was just at the very split second when the tip of the blade touched the balloon. Notice the shape of the balloon is still there while the rubber is gone.

This was actually a lucky shot as the water has a slight resemblance of a fish.

We cleared up everything after the photoshoot. (:

Alright, that's all for now! See yar! :D
