A funny encounter

Some time ago, I attended a party lugging my newborn DSLR. I was still much a beginner and although still is, I was captivated by a friend's friend. I was told he was a TV producer and carried a Nikon D90. I remembered D90 was advertised by Lee Hom, further captivated. No, not the guy, but his DSLR. Well, he spoke well, confident yet humble. He took lots of pictures, around the party. I came back and he added me on Facebook already. I waited to see how his pictures would turn out. A month later. I saw the pictures, shocked me to the very corner of my photograhy learner soul. Everything about the photos wrong, right from the White Balance. Hey, if a no skiller like me could detect it, he would be a worse skiller. That day, I learnt not to be intimidated by pro cameras.

Anyway, I'm waiting for my first photowalk. Been a long time since i brought baby C for a spin. Hope he still remember me. Our souls are almost disconnected! Wish me luck!!!

www.celegifts.com

Have you ever visited the www.celegifts.com. This is a website created by my own 2 lady bosses, due to their love of shopping. They traveled overseas often and get some interesting items back to be sold on the website. Do lend your support and let me know some feedbacks and comments about the website if you have.
It has lots of items for men, women, home, fashion accessories and of course PETS!! That will be my forte, I suggested this category for them and most of the time hands on with the items there. So, let me know if you need anything or have items or ideas you can contribute to help me. This will be my grounds to see how things work online, a learning tool for perhaps to set up one of my own.

P.S. I have limited access to who buy what and when, so if you want to get discount let me know, so I can tweak some discounts for you back-end. See ya!!

Mahatma's 7 dangers to human virtue

1. Wealth without work
We get lazy assholes, like those show off youngsters with rich daddies.
2. Pleasure without conscience
We get infidelity in husbands and wifes who has no thoughts on their spouses.
3. Knowledge without character
We get smart alecs who looked down on less fortunate people.
4. Business without ethics
We get bosses who squeeze their employees, gaining profit with no spare on others' health, safety or loss.
5. Science without humanity
We get cruelty, on human, animals alike.
6. Religion without sacrifice
Let me think about this one, or anyone has a thought of what this means?
7. Politics without principle
We get what else, but corruption and murders of their opponents.

Cabbie uncle

Took a cab yesterday and met this really old uncle. He had Yishun sign on the front. Got on and asked if he was going home. He told me he was not feeling well so would like to just travel nearby his house at Yishun. Then he said sometimes he just felt like dropping dead and he would be better off. Told me he got a baby to take care of, a 70 years old baby, his wife. He himself is 74 years old. Got 2 sons that cant help both of them at all. When he asked for social financial help from the government, they are not eligible. Cos he is working and has got 2 kids. So the scheme needed both of them to be jobless and no children. Anyway, he said the amount is only 200 over dollars. Which cant even help him pay the one room flat at 100+ yishun. He is driving taxi 18 hours or more a day and already cant afford to pay for both their medical expenses. His wife can no longer walk and she crawled everywhere in the house.
When I got down my fare was $4 plus, I gave him $10 and asked him to keep the change. I think that was the smallest amount I can do so as not to hurt his pride. I climbed down as he insisted on giving the change. Then, after I was further down he opened his door and shouted thanks. A small amount yet he was so thankful. Give that to one of my ungrateful niece and I would rather grind and eat it myself.

At this era in Singapore, I would think none of this would be happening. Yet, it is so real and it's happening under our noses. For everyone here, money is a problem, everyone is blatantly in debt. Blame it on the children? No, blame it on the need of money that forces everyone in Singapore to be that selfish. Of course, there are rich people that are still not taking care of their parents, but that is not the point. It's not about can but dont want to, it's about want but not able to.

The light

I have been so cornered and covered in the darkness of his shadow that I didn't see there's a light shining behind him. Where are you my light? Wonder if you still shine as brightly as you used to be. Wonder if you would still bring warmth to me in your smile like you used to. Wonder if your eyes would be as kind as it used to be. If ever a day I would see you, will you be my light again...

I will be there

, he said. Someone who you have fallen in love with before and still somehow in love with after so many shits he made you go through. Well, vice versa that is the fact.
One day, he said, "I will always have a special place for you in my heart. I may fall in love with another girl, get married and have kids. Live like I am truly happy. But, once you call on me, I will leave everything behind in a second and just be with you. If you ever have a change a heart, I will be there. For now, forever and always. Then, I will be then truly happy."
Will what he said actually make you feel happy or sad? It's bittersweet. A love put in a most wrong way.
