tuesday's entry 6:06 AM

WHAT WAS I THINKING, when i suggested for us to go to Fort Canning Park today?

so, here's the 411. today, my classmates arranged for us to meet @ school (tho we don't hv class) to take the free entry ticket for NAFA Sports Day @ Sentosa. very unfortunately for kim and yulin, interior design students are actually supposed to take theirs TOMORROW, instead of today! misinformation, hello? and in the end it only took us around 10mins to take the tickets, and then we were left with a big question of "WHERE TO GO NOW?"

since i've been planning to go to the park all night, i blatantly suggested that we go photo-taking there, which is (according to a free tourist map i obtained) within walking distance of our school. kim leng agreed at once, and after a bit of persuasion, i managed to get junzhu to come along. HOORAY FOR ME!

for this photo-taking excursion, i have prepared my small kodak camera and a bunch of optimism! mind you, taking pictures is no longer a fun activity for me--more like a burden on my back. we are required to take photos of a "special quality" or wtv, basically, anything to please the teacher. GRRR. now where's the fun in that, huh?

all the way to the park, zhu kept mumbling (heh, more like chanting) "RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN!" and kim leng and i were, like, "noooo waaaaaay!!" but the sky was already so cloudy! i was soo scared that it was going to rain--i mean, i hv to submit the photos by tomorrow, you know??

luckily it didn't rain. yet.

we spent some time walking around the park, taking pictures... then suddenly zhu began calling my name. "EEEHHH LOOK, LOOK, A SQUIRREL!" and after a lot of eye-squinting and squirrel-calls, i spotted a furry greyish animal jumping from branch to branch! too bad it was too far up and i couldn't take a picture of it, though...

then we went back to the national museum, which was right outside the park gates, to pick up sandra. and then we waited for the rain, because we wouldn't wanna be stuck in the park when it rains.

which was quite enuff time for us to fool around! zhu, kim leng, and i were all seated on this bench on castors, and kim leng suddenly moved the bench all around the empty hallway.. zhu was happily pretending to be in a boat, and honestly i don't remember what i was doing, and sandra was taking a video of the stupid moment.

THEN CAME THIS SECURITY GUARD. uh-oh, can anybody say, BUSTED?? hahaha, in the end we were told to put the bench back to its position and stop moving it around. if anybody's interested, sandra got the video in her blog!

when we walked back to the park, we stopped by this GIGANTIC BELLPEPPER SCULPTURE, which was appropriately named PEDAS-PEDAS.

then i took some more pictures. i really, really wanted to take the historical remnants that i expected to be there, but i couldn't even find my way to the bloody cannon! and i'm kinda disappointed, cuz i couldn't get anything that i really like (and i doubt the teacher would like any).


the things i do for photography!:

1. go all the way to fort canning park

2. endure the insect-ridden paths and grass

3. climb a bloody bunch of stairs!

4. touch all the dirty plants and rocks and whatever

5. almost trip because of the stupid weeds

6. have an up-close-and-personal photo shoot in AN OLD CEMETERY!!!!

and you wonder why i'm still struggling with the subject... *SIGHHHH*
