Lucky days

I have been lucky past few days and hope to continue as long as possible. Yea, I know , everyone's greedy.

Today I went to Croydon to watch Transformer : Revenge of the Fallen (just launched yesterday), and found out that my monthly train pass has expired yesterday (19/6/2009)! I wanted to buy ticket but the ticket counter wasn’t open. Oh dear. But before I queue for the ticket machine, there’s this guy approached me and handed me FREE return ticket. I was stunned when someone approach me and hand me stuff. Unconsciously my hand will grab the ticket. I still stunned. I thanked him. I felt guilty not thanking him enough. Not to mention I picked money from floor 2 days consecutively from the ground when I’m going to work. Haha.

Everyday I spend a couple of hours reading on some photography forum. I thought of expand the horizon of my photography skills. Therefore I read a lot on modeling photography more than landscape nowadays. Photographing human/modeling is much harder than photographing landscape. As landscape is kinda ‘dead’ but human you need to stress your creativity. I bump into a topic that full of mentors. I located one of the mentor who lives in London and therefore contacted him. We have been bouncing emails and the most important part is that I’m allowed to assist him in modeling photographing for FREE – means he doesn't charge for teaching. It’s a bit hassle to get to his place as no direct train available. Should I go or should I not?

Good enough of luck! haha

Swansea that I love

I had forced myself today to write. Not very interesting is happening and nothing special happened. Just having some normal routine.

Last week (5th –7th/June/2009) I was once appear in Swansea. Being so long didn’t visit Swansea, nothing has change, but many stores closed down and businesses gone burst. Swansea, still the second largest city in Wales (lolz).

Although it has shrink a little, but it still never fails to give me a warm feeling coming back for a visit. A journey that cost me about 6-7 hours (each way) and £30 is worth it for catching up with my friends and be relax. More importantly, to have a warm feeling.

In Swansea, every year you gain some less new friends and lose some of the old friend, not really lose, but kind of like lose, as in they graduate then go back to their home country respectively. So, yes, it is a bit of sad.

Anyway, the weather wasn’t welcoming me at all. It rained whole day, not surprise for UK weather. So my initial plan of taking pictures of Mumbles, Swansea eventually scrapped. But, there’s a plan suggested. I have done something sinful in my life.

Yes, installed and played Dota in Swansea University LIBRARY. Obviously, I’m no longer a student, my account to logon to the university has expired. Therefore, I borrowed. I have not touch Dota since I came to Swansea University. I have not fully utilize the facility provided by Library despite paying an £8800 tuition fees all these years!

And guess who’s driving?!
