Awesome Avatar

Photobucket

If you havent already watched Avatar, please go watch it! It is damn gd! :)
You can also start by watching this trailer. Watch in HD :)



I really like the universe James Cameron has created from scratch. The distant world of Pandora is so pretty and exotic! I love the flowers tt glow at night and all the strange and peculiar creatures.

If u can, watch it in 3D. It is really awesome :) Seriously, nothing i say here will do justice to the movie :)

Here's the only screenshot of the pandora i found on internet. I'm sure more will be online soon!

I wiki-ed Avatar and found out that James Cameron actually waited for technology to catch up before he could produce this movie he envisioned. This is apparently the most expensive movie ever filmed!

So, please go watch it asap! I'm damn sure you'd love it too:)

Portraits i love


eight., originally uploaded by mistybliss.

This photographer has done an excellent job taking portraits of her children.

Many people think that i like only macros... but the truth is i love to take portraits too! Unfortunately, most of my friends are qt camera-shy and so i seldom get to practise...
I usually take my portraits overseas :) or of complete strangers..
These are few of my favourites..

Small things that peeve me

I think i have posted about expectations several times before and how i get really peeved when things dont turn out the way i expect.

Here and here are just 2 of them.

Today i bought a screen protector that cost me $12. I never paid more than $5 for one and i usually have to put it on myself. The best of cos is the screen protector came with my electronic device free and the friendly shopowner expertly stuck it on for me.

I was so surprised today when the salesperson at the shop returned me my phone with this super apparent big bubble with a speck of dust in the centre. I'm not saying tt being able to pay $12 is damn big but i really wasnt expecting to see that bubble.

I may or may not be able to do a better job. I've actually stuck on the screen protector for most of my devices and i perfectly understand that it can be tricky. The thing is my expectations are lower. Even if it is imperfect, it was done by amateur me.

Actually when i reflected abt what happened today, i think i was partly upset tt getting the screen protector was a hasty decision.
1. I was happy without one
2. I actually wanted to get a matt-finished screen protector
3. I was lazy to hunt for another shop
4. I was lazy to stick it on myself

At the end of the day, things that upset me the most are things tt stems from my inadequacy or laziness.

On one hand it is damn useful and safe to not have any expectations but i wish to attain the 境界 of have expectations and yet not let the unmatching outcome affect me.

I will eventually get used to my screen. If not at most i peel it off lor :) haha

It's been so long since i last posted. Today is post-EOPT!

I cant help but ruminate on the silly mistakes i made today.. but its ok! I'm happier after processing this photo i took on sunday.

Hmm.. i think it'd probably look better on black background though!

I miss photography.. cant wait to pass mbbs.
