home is good. :D

yes, i am back!
and i am doing thing that i missed doing for the past 9 months.
sent 9 rolls (yes quite disappointing huh? i took only 9 rolls. i am guilty. sigh. ) of films to foto mega and got them back today. heehee.
can't wait to view and arrange all of the photos accordingly. and of course upload them to my lomohomes!
ah! finally! after so long! lol.

one of my favourite shots:



a double exposure shot, which is quite rare for me. hahaha.
taken in birmingham, roadside. lol.

will definitely be back with more photos. :D see ya!

'Love Never Dies' in London Adelphi Theatre

went for Phantom of the Opera on the 4th, and Love Never Dies on the 5th.
my friends said i was crazy. lol. i wanted to go for Stomp as well, but too bad, no moolah!

if you have not known, 'Love Never Dies' is the sequel written by Andrew Llyod Webber and performed only not long ago, erm, perhaps only a year ago. :)
i was quite disappointed by the story and especially scenes before the intermission.
but the show went pretty good after the intermission.

one of my favourite piece from Love Never Dies,

Let hopes pass, let dreams pass, let them die. Without you, what are they for?

'Til' I Hear You Sing' by Ramin Karimloo.

too bad, Ramin Karimloo was on leave for the show I attended. Tam Mutu was the phantom of the night. But still, he was superb! his voice was amazing when he performed Til' I Hear You Sing. actually, i'd prefer Tam Mutu's version of it, than the youtube clip of Ramin's. :)

not gonna tell you the plot of Love Never Dies. :D i think it's a good musical that worth attending to the theatre to watch.

oh! haven't I told ya that Andrew Llyod Webber is my new idol? he is the producer for many of the musicals in London, Phantom of the Opera, Love Never Dies, Wizard of Oz, Cats and The Sound of Music, bla bla bla.
he is also the composer of most of the songs. Think of Me, All I Ask of You, Til' I Hear You Sing, Memory bla bla bla.
for me, he is a musician as great as Joe Hisaishi and John Williams. :D

p/s - aiks, Phantom of the Opera was great as well. love the scene where Raoul and Christine escape to the roof, and sang 'All I Ask of You'. sweeeet! but too bad, my friend and I felt that even La Carlotta sang better than Christine. and this current Christine is rated as the worst Christine for Her Majesty's Theatre ever. :/

share with you one more great song by Andrew Lloyd Webber,

I remember the time I knew what happiness was. Let the memory live again

Memory, from Cats

*woohooo phantom and love never dies were my 2nd and 3rd musical in London! more to come! saving mooooolah for Mama Mia and Les Miserable. mama mia, here i go again... i dreamed a dream in time gone byyyyyyy~*

something*有些事情

there were things, i did not say.
有些事情，我没有说。


please do not make guesses and assumptions.
请你不要猜，更不要说你以为。


i am not lost.
我没有迷失。


i will still look back on myself always.
我偶尔还是会回头看看那个我。


thanks for your concern.
谢谢你的关心。





p/s - ah! finally got the time to write something! to all my friends, i am fine. :D life's good. i just had a great month. :D

“生命中，不断地有人离开或进入。

于是，看见的，看不见的；记住的，遗忘了。

生命中，不断地有得到和失落。

于是，看不见的，看见了；遗忘的，记住了。

然而，看不见的，是不是就等于不存在？记住的，是不是永远不会消失？”

骗子

Photo taken with Olympus PEN E-PL1 @ Birmingham, UK.

活了那么久，
其实也没有很久。

看了那么多，
不过好像也没有很多。

我知道，人是最可怕的骗子。
人啊，往往都只会展现自己最好，可是却不是最真的那一面。
人，有时连呼吸都在撒谎。

我不会怪你骗我。
因为，有时候我也给自己骗了。
不用怕，如果我找到了我心里的那个骗子，我一定狠狠地教训它一顿！
哼！尽然把我蒙在鼓里！

来，一起通缉我们心里的骗子！



p/s - 最近生活处于学习状态。太多新鲜事了！突然感觉自己还年轻！哈哈哈！还有，最近好爱吴青峰！哈哈哈

prague at night*布拉格夜景篇

why did i choose prague as my first destination?
let these pictures tell you. :)


Palladium, a shopping mall very near to our hotel. it represents the modern side of prague. :) and this is the place where we got our daily supper and snacks. :P



the Petrin Lookout Tower, built in the 1800s. 299 steps, and breathtaking view of prague. :) located in a landscaped gardens on Petrin Hill, one of the best places to have snow fight in prague! heehee.



view of prague castle from the Petrin Lookout Tower. amazing.



the astronomical clock, located near the old town square. there's a viewing tower on top of that too.



view from the astronomical clock tower, with st. nicholas church on the left. sorry for the bad angle. :p



a photo that i have posted in the last post. view of the old town square (yes, this is the place jolin sings about!) from the astronomical clock tower. it's christmas market going on, with nice food and friendly people! heehee!



a LED angel decoration in the old town square.



at around 5pm, stepped out of the metro station,
the first impression of prague was, wow. astonishing.
with slight snow that time, prague was amazingly beautiful!
i came to the right place, i told myself.



that's all for now, more photos to come!




p/s - i have decided to upload the large size photos, to give you a better view. :p at the same time, sorry for the bad quality of photos okay? still learning mah! heeeheeeee!

feliz navidad!

ahoy everybody! just came back from Prague, Czech Republic yesterday.
i like it a lot! and i think i will be back again! (if i have a chance. hehe.)

haven't really sort the pictures out yet. will do it soon. hehehe. one of it to share -


view of the Prague Old Town Square from the Astronomical Clock Tower. :D

在布拉格天文钟塔眺望，前方是布拉格广场，后方则是布拉格城堡。
布拉格，真的很美。



p/s - sorry for abandoning my blog for quite some time. :( will try to update more frequently soon! :D

英国的秋天

英国的秋天，
那片刚落下的枯叶
那不停吹来的秋风
那变幻多端的温度



这些，都不是我的家。
因为我家没有这样的枯叶，没有秋风，也没有变化多端的温度。

对啊，我好想家。


recent update:
courseworks are killing me, yes and this is why i am not updating oftenly. :(
went to the Bonfire in Nottingham last week. here's one of the fireworks picture im happy with.



erm, taken without tripod (i put my camera on top of a rubbish bin), not a perfect shot, but i like it. :)


p/s - 那天，爸爸说他每天都会想念他的宝贝女儿，让我真的哽咽了一下。

[Both photos taken with Olympus PEN E-PL1.]

抛物线

i have been really really busy these days.
projects, assignments and courseworks. (and dramas as well. oops.)

i am sorry that i didn't update my blog as usual as i used to. :(
and guess what, i haven't even start researching for photolabs who do film processing around nottingham. sigh, anybody can give me any guidance?

went to the cheshire oak designer outlet last week and had really great fun shopping there. lol. do not ask how much i have spent there, please.
here is one of the photos taken in the i-don't-know-where-is-it train station, named Stockport. lol.




and this train station comes with a platform number zero. yea, zero.
we thought we were supposed to bang the column in order to board the train, like the harry potter does. lol. non sense. but i was really surprised to see a platform zero. hahaha or maybe im just one of the kampung girl who hasn't done exploring the UK. lol.

recently i got really really addicted into Tanya Tsai's album, 抛物线. yea, i know it's not a new album, but still, it's super nice. hahaha. now i understand why she won the best female singer in taiwan. her songs are just, heart-touching.

aaaah. random much. lol.


p/s - don't think about only me, reverse the 'm' and think about we. yea, im annoyed by selfish people recently. lol.

lomography pop 9

i used to think that the multi-lens lomo cameras are kinda, erm, not too interesting.
that time ss family (my very best friends!) was having this multi-lens fever where lee ahmuk decided to buy a supersampler and ter simsim decided to buy the actionsampler.
so i thought, why not i give a try, since i was having some piggies to spend and i oni needed to top up a small amount.
so i chosen the POP-9!
kia su mah, both supersampler and actionsampler only have 4 lens, while pop9 has 9! lol.
since the black one looks really ugly, i bought the gold one instead. :D

even though the results were not as mesmerizing as the LC-A+ or Holga use to give, but i swear that Pop-9 is the most fun and interesting lomo camera i have ever had. seriously.

one of my favourite shots -




lesson of the story -
do not frame yourself. why not stand out of the circle and give yourself more choices? this is my current point of view for my future career. hahaha.

spent quite a lot of pounds recently in getting some stuffs. aiks,seriously wanna save for a new mattress, this current old one is causing me backache. :( and why mattresses are so expensive in the UK? all of them are at least £100 or more. sigh. and i want a new coat so i have a bit of variety (im wearing the same one to class daily), i want Uniqlo's heattech tees to keep me warm, i want the zara's ankle boots and anya hindmarch's tote bag.

lol okay. i shall be really really disciplined not to over spend. no shopping, no shopping.

p/s - the priority of mine when im in UK isn't my studies, but meals i have everyday. whenever im free, i'd be thinking of what to eat for next meal. =.=||| please do not ask me my weight.

p/s again - peer pressure is killing me. arghhhhh.



(Photo taken by Lomography Pop-9 loaded with Agfa Precisa CT 100, cross processed.)

living my life, in the UK.

hello everybody.
no i did not forget my blog, of course. :)
spent almost three weeks for settling down, and i am still at the settling down stage. lol.

well, UK is good.
i was very impressed by the civic consciousness that the UK people have.

classes have started. as the chinese saying goes, things are tough at the beginning.
i'm trying my very best to adapt. aiks.

haven't been to many places in the UK tho.
to be precise, i have only been to the nottingham city and birmingham. lol.
nottingham city is boring (i think) and birmingham is heaven for me. (my friends said because i have not seen london yet.)

a sneak peak of photos taken in birmingham :)



departure. taken in broadmarsh. :D this is not in birmingham tho. it's nottingham. haha.



one of my favourite photos.



contradiction of modern and traditional architecture. the bullring and st martin's church.



st martin's. taken from the ground level. :)




the bullring market.

感恩

二十四小时过后，我应该就在飞机上了。
好不容易撑到了现在，终于还是哭了。

前几个礼拜有一点小忙，不同的朋友，在不同的地方，用不同的方式为我饯行。
心里万分感激。

每一个转泪点都让我看见了真正关心我的人。
真的感恩。

我不是一个人孤身作战，因为我会带着你们的祝福到英国去的。
除了感恩，还是感恩。

祝愿大家身体健康，一切顺顺利利。

仁 走了......


明年暑假，我们再相聚马来西亚！

再见！
