prime time of your life

does this mean my photos will be all award-winning picture perfect? hardly. it just means i don’t have to mooch off JT’s yummy lens (which has spoilt me for life) and i can also now peek into my neighbour’s house from the comfort of my room. p/s nothing interesting has happened so far.

i see you

was stuffing my face today, more than a little distraught after some heated erm discussion with ma. then my loveliest gives me this: he warned me that it isn’t a terribly expensive lens. like, who’s care, hon? it’s a lovely present. i love it, and i love you. <3 nikkor 70-300mm AF G. i just [...]

a girl can dream kan?

not so perfect after all. but does that really stop you from coveting it? RM15,000 for a rangefinger, hmmm let me sell my car.

erm, i’d say around 25?

develop/scan/print

people have been asking me good places to buy/process film. i’ve not processed anywhere else other than a few shops at mid valley megamall and pp foto shop (usj 2). i do not recommend the mid valley fellas at all. don’t know how or who actually does the processing, but nothing nice has ever come [...]
