Beautiful Tuesday Dawn

April 29, 2008 at 11:15 +08:0004 (Pics/Photography, Random Observations)

this is the view from my living room as i got up this morning. beautiful isn’t it? 

this shot was taken with my trusted sony dsc-w1 point & shoot camera. for the photo buff, i was shooting in manual mode, spot metering the red part of the sky, 1/5s and 5.6 aperture. camera was resting on the window frame for stability. i used a timer and post production include cropping, level and curve tuning.

What is my odd?

April 24, 2008 at 11:15 +08:0004 (Default)

What is my odd of hitting the first prize?

Not much, judging from money printing nature of Singapore Pools. Don’t ask me for the fact as this is just “kopi-tiam” talk. The fact that the government is not privatising this company speaks volume about its profitability.

It is difficult not to be a gambling man in lil dot as Singapore Pools offering wager on everything you can take a punt on. Football? F1 Grand Prix racing? Horse? Toto? 4D? You bet are on, even on the first day of Chinese New Year! Furthermore, there is always an outlet in your neighbourhood.

To a lot of punters, it is their way of buying hopes. Others, it is just money down the drain. Quoting and para-phrasing from a prominent minister in lil dot…

“You can lose many many times, but all you need is to get lucky ONCE!”

“he aint heavy, he is my brother”

caught these two ants outside my apartment last weekend. one of them is dead and the other was presumably carrying its fallen brother back to the nest.

p/s sorry for the grainy shot cos the photo was taken in low res & due to cropping

Found this wall along the expressway during the weekend. The creepy crawly give the wall green cover that not only appeal to the eyes but environmentally friendly too.

Meet our leafy green agent!
