Past few months have been working at a camera store in funan. Thoroughly enjoyed my self there thou it was super tiring. I learnt so much at the store than I could myself lol, getting to play with the latest camera, learning how a camera reacts in certain conditions.
I also went to the Secondary 2 Adventure Camp(nope not a typo its sec 2) as a JA and a JA photographer. I realized I brought along too much stuff. I had 3 bags, one is my Lowepro bag with my Nikon D300 kit set, the other contains clothes and stuff, and finally a Camelbak M.U.L.E. Found out it wasnt very comfortable carrying around 2 bags all the time espcially the bag containing the camera gear. It contained my D300 with grip, tamron 17-50, nikkor 70-300, nikkor 50mm f.1.8, sb-900, a few memory card and tonnes of batteries. Worse still, it was a sling bag, so that 5kg of camera gear cut in after about 15 minutes. But it was worth it.
It was blazingly hot too, espcially since I was attached to Group 1(Lance Armstrong), I was out in the sun with them, taking photos and getting sun burnt. But I had a secret weapon hidden in my bags:P. A bottle of sunblock with an SPF of 130. Usually dont like to apply it, but on the second day, at like 12pm, I was already sun burnt, so I went under shade to apply sun block. And was criticized by regina for doing so.(=_=) She was like saying(translated from chinese) "you da nan ren still apply sunblock" then if i am not wrong, yan chin was beside her LMAOing. so I put on the helmet and went back. Little did i know I missed ressal and another girl doing a sort of impersonating a chimpanzee to entertain the bored sec 2 kids waiting for their turn. Argh missed out a good candid shot. Went around to shoot some more photos then went back to the canteen to refill my hydration pack. Then with the hydration straw in my mouth and still wearing the white helmet the moment i walked in its regina's turn to LMAO. She said that I looked like a diver.(-__-) So within an hour and the half she laughed twice when i walked in.
The first night at the camp site was kinda weird, emotions ran wild, I wount elaborate further. after that had a nice warm shower and enjoyed the sea breeze before sleeping in the sick bay. Second day I woke up at around 5.30am, had 3 hours of sleep just like the previous day. Kinda lethargic morning then activities , some rain which forced us to do some campfire preparation, then activites resumed and finally campfire. Quite interesting to see the groups come out with ingenious commercial with just some aid from their seniors and I was dam surprised at what they came up with. My group was the boy wearing the hot pink FBT. Then it was my turn to LMAO. I enjoyed the campfire to bits and i took lots of photos. After that their lights out time was extended and we had our debrief. After the debrief, there was finally some time for the JAs and SLs to have a breather as the past few days was so hetic. Then we showered, enjoyed more sea breeze and finnaly slept at like 3am or so after palying with whipped cream and nasi lemak.
The next day I woke up at like 8am. I over slept and hour. And just in time for area cleanup. So i poured water on the canteen floor and we all started to clean up. A few JAs were in the canteen helping out like yan chin,ressal,jun hao,regina, pretty much everyone lol. And when we were done, we went back to school and some of us went to have lunch at aijisen ramen. Then we finally homed.:)
OK! finally done a few stuff today like hand in drinks proposal, watch top gear season 4, bought a keyboard protector for my MacBook Pro and now its time to sleep.
