Back with a bad try

Ah... Blogger layout seems to change... Wonderful...
Oh well... been pretty busy with work and own time. Managed to sneak 5 mins out to do this:

There's a bad knock,

almost every morning, i got the sudden pain with shock.

The whole day i will feel like a block.

And i comfort myself eating luncheon pork....

So frustrating.....




Such a bad poem.... I've tried!!!

Another IR test shot

Another IR test shot, originally uploaded by hASHbrown_only.

now i read up tat nid S curve... damn blur me.... I know i didnt have e sun behind me... but the sun is settin...i wanna catch the moment.

The S-curve really help me achieve the strong colours for my leaves...

Oh well, please educate me more on IR. (steps taken so far, bookmarked a few sites and read up on one)

Fed Up....

Really wanna get this off my chest... hmph!

Stupid song... made me listen to it again and again, trying to figure out what the sh*t is Daniel Powter singing.

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

I keep hearing CARROTS DON'T MIND!!!

Carrots....

I also want to be.....!!!

Finally got sometime to surf the web and look my darling friends' blog.

1st spot: Lolly Laney
As usual, nothing much from her leh. Laney, update more pics lah.

2nd spot: Princess Hei
Even worse. No updates since August! *faintz

3rd spot: Flying Lerize
New current SIA stewardess. Ever so pretty and creative. The moment I saw her photos, I envy her!!!

She went UK. I went to UK.
She had a photo like this:



I had a photo like this:



And all my fault for not posing with the stuff I took. Even my mother complain when she saw my photos.

Stupid ASH....

I also want to become air stewardess!!! (just can't as I'm short of 0.2cm and my face cannot make it! :P)

After thoughts...

Hey all, i'm tryin my best to SQUEEZE all the pictures i took n share bout it with all u plenty-of-time-to-surf people. More pictures r on my flickr n due to monthly limit... wah piang eh..... i cant load all 3Gb of photos.

well, it's a refreshing break for me as it's my 1st time on a long haul flight, flying over the indian ocean n all the way to Sweden.
There's so so many 1st-time a.k.a "virgin" tries over in Stockholm and Glasgow. I suppose the theme song for this trip is Madonna's Like a Virgin. (imagine me running up n down e street, dancing,with the song in the background)

Comparing these 2 countries and SG, there's many pros n cons.
Better housing and health benefits are the ones that impresses me.
Transportation system in Stockholm is quite gd, esp when u can "cheat"(provided u noe how to do it). Glasgow is pretty expensive and u must travel with the fixed bus company.
TV shows, i'm addicted to the Scottish tv! Digital or HD tv.....ooohhhh.....shiok.... I wont mind retiring there n watch TV e whole day!!! Swedish tv nites r still as gd as e Scottish ones.

I have to make an announcement. I love Bridie(pronounced as bride-eh wif abit of scottish accent)!
I love pasties n hotdogs!

I'm going to start my new season of Bread n butter / 菜饭 meals.

Well, better dun rant too much! The fun coming soon!

My 1st glimpse of snow, originally uploaded by hASHbrown_only.

This morning is snowing!!!! This is my 1st glimpse of snow....so cool!!! cant wait to go out n touch it...
But...got to wear more/thicker leh!!!

Watcha Looking At?

Alamak.... the computer i'm using now got no Photoshop.... I don't know how to use Paint(use too advance stuff tat i cant go back to basic).
If i noe how to use, i'll crop a better pic of the swan. It looked like it's giving the see-what-see look at me...

This pic is taken from River Clyde(hope it's e correct spelling). It runs thru Glasgow and it's on our way towards the Glasgow Science Centre.


Here's my 2 wonderful Scottish host! I think they already been living into Family Life.... (heh...Martin & Div, u 2 shld noe wat i mean..)

Although my stay over in Scotland is short, i had a "crash-course'' of Scottish food.

I had Haggis and mixed grill including Black pudding(blood pudding). Taste pretty nice....Just that Scottish food are pretty SALTY...

Another thing i dig into at Glasgow is Greggs. They have this food chain outlet almost everywhere.... Something like Bread Talk or Old Chang Kee in Singapore. They sell bread, sandwiches and lots of Scottish Pies... Yummmyyyy.....

To cut the post short(and i dont want to bore people with all the tiny bits n pieces of my travelog) , we went to Glasgow and Edinburgh. The day at Edinburgh is super windy.... Shiokadoo...

Well, right now where i'm blogging, i'm back in Stockholm.
Weather became colder and we're "smoking" there. There's even frosting on the leaves n ice on the pavement.....

My Dream School n 3 funny folks

Sorry to all...I'still ALIVE!!!
This is my 3rd day in Glasgow and today, we really went to Glasgow. It's an hour plus trip from Hamilton(where my frends are staying).

We walked around then started off with GoMA. The moment we got off the bus, we headed straight to Greggs.
Greggs is a local pasti shop aka Scottish Old Chang Kee/Bread Talk... It sells all the local pies. I had a Bridie, Scotch pie and a sausage roll so far.

When i was eating the Scotch pie in the visitors centre, an old lady went into the place and walked up to me pretty close and asked, "Are you enjoying it?". Funny lah....

GoMA was pretty simple....most of the galleries are closed... so we went to the main and one of the galleries.
As we are exiting the main hall, i was having a LONG yawn... (-.-) The security guard saw and was disturbing me..(in a joking manner lah). Funny....

We walked round town and i wanted to go MacKintosh. We found the place and found our way to a park. We took a few group photos and goofing around. I was checking my pictures on my camera and this old man walked pass and told me "It's broken".

Haiyo...they r funny.... I think i have given my D50 a few scratches.... :( i suppose it's v tired....

Oh ya, Happy 22nd Birthday to Martin!

Infra-red. Cloudy tat day. So not tat fantastic.

I went in later with 4 other friends round 2.30pm and ended up trekking up to the quarry only.
Not bad, we had fun there.

As we cycle around, the storm is approaching and drove us back to the start point. Just nice after we returned the bicycle and heading towards the jetty, we saw the storm approaching. Quite a sight and most of us took pictures of the storm.
