to feed the fisheye!

the first week of december

hello everybody, i hope you have been keeping well this first week into december. it's been raining almost everyday in singapore. difficult to play around with cameras but fantastic at night to cuddle up and fall alseep. is anyone surprised that it's still only the first week of december. because to me, it feels like december has been here for a long long while. even though, it's december and almost the holidays, work hasn't been slowing down in the office at all. it's still go-go-go! and the weekends are jam packed with concerts, movies and meals with my friends. this coming weekend will be full one again, errands with my mum on saturday to get ready for cambodia, packing for cambodia, shoe shopping with friends. hopefully i can finished up all the rolls of film left dangling in my camera. i really want to see how the fisheye 2 and the lomography xr redscale film will be like before i leave. i actually have quite a few things to blog about, but time isn't giving me the chance to do so. as it is, i am dashing this post off while waiting for my colleagues to tidy up for the day (it's 7:35pm!). to make up for my blog silence, i am going to share a few links for some japanese photography blogs that i have been drooling over daily. i believe they are on a 365 photo projects. sha*bo*n-photo cocoro *iro* photo is life you won't need any translations because beauty transcends language. i hope you enjoy them as much as i do :)

oh fisheye, you so fly

i swear i really wasn't planning on buying another camera so soon after the instax mini. i had earlier earmarked the fisheye for a possible purchase next year but suddenly lomography started giving out piggy points, and then a 10% discount, and then more piggy points. in a flash, i managed to gather enough piggies and discounts to minus off 40 usd from the total amount. it was too good to be true and before i knew it, i had clicked pay and a fisheye 2 was hurtling from hong kong towards me! i completed my order on monday and the fisheye 2 was sitting happily on my desk on wednesday. two pats on lomography's back for the incredibly quick shipping!



i snapped my unboxing process.

as part of lomography's retail therapy promo, they also threw in a klick max 200 (expired) film for every order. Overall, pretty sweet deal. Here's hoping that there will be a sunny day this week for me to run a quick test roll through it!

oh and tonight, i discovered two wonderful blogs, here comes the sun and andrew+carissa. they give me hope.

happy december

there's a lot to be happy for this first day of december.

happy that i will soon be getting a break from work

happy that i will soon be exploring a new country

happy that i have a new fuji instax mini

happy that my best friend's mother gave me a canon canonet 28

happy that i took advantage of lomography's retail therapy promotion, discounts and piggy points

happy that i got a fisheye 2 with said savings

happy that i got second place in the lomotion school doubles competition, with a $50 voucher to spend at our local toy camera store



share your december happiness, i would love to hear them too :)

hello twitter!

thanks to a little prodding from nicola (whose blog i am a big fan of) i finally set up the twitter account for this blog! i had been procrastinating for the past few months because twitter doesn't allow for the full name of my blog to be used as the account name and i couldn't decide how to shorten it. but i finally bit the bullet and just did it.

i linked up my tumblr account to my twitter so if you follow me, so you will know whenever i update my tumblr. of course, i will tweet about new blog posts as well. 

my twitter link on the sidebar is now live so let's follow one another and become better friends :)
