Je Veux Juste Une Dernière Danse

Before darkness, and indifference.



Gist:

It has been a week of crazy spending for me.
On Thursday I went to One Utama with some college friends during a 3 hour break in between classes.
And I spent quite a bit on a couple of books, a couple of shirts, and a pair of shorts.
Then on Friday I went to KL, with almost the same bunch of friends, and I got myself a tripod and a remote shutter release.
Fuh Fuh.
The pain on my wallet. Tis unbearable.
Haha. But it was satisfying!



Friday

I didn't bring my camera with me on Thursday, and there wasn't much happening anyway, so I don't really have anything to tell.
But Friday is a different story.

Day started out pretty okay, class at 8.
Was pretty fun, worked with Arthur and Tsoon Kit on some Law exercise.
I bungled a little in the spelling department when Kit asked me how to spell malicious.
Instead of the M-A-L . . . I went M-E- . . .
Wtf. Hahah. Too much Meliciousness I guess.

Then at around 3.30 or so Arthur came with Jas to pick me up, and we headed to KL with a bunch of other friends.
We planned to head to a few camera shops to check out prices, and also because I wanted a tripod, Wykit wanted a Canon S5IS, and Arthur wanted a bag.

We parked at Times Square, and headed to Keat Cameras, somewhere along Jalan Pudu, if I'm not mistaken.
Something like 5 minutes walk from Times Square.
The guy there was Raymond, and he was a very nice guy to talk to, and to deal with.
And that's where I got my tripod, and Arthur got his bag.
But that was on the second trip there.

On the way back to Times Square from the first trip, we saw a whole bunch of buses heading down the road.
And by a whole bunch, I mean somewhere around 6 - 7 buses.
Wasn't fast enough to capture all of them though.

Then we headed over to Lowyat to check on the S5IS price.
Went here and there, best price was apparently RM1.5k if I remember correctly.

Later that night, after having dinner / berbuka at KFC somewhere near Bintang Walk (?), we headed over to the Pavilion.
Was a pretty cool looking place, with some nice shops.
Just walked around, didn't buy anything.

They even had this small group playing nice instrumental music.

And some of us wanted to have our picture taken at the steps leading to what I think is the centre of the place.
Aih.

After that we headed back, but not without some pit-stops, me for some Coffee Bean and Jasmine for some waffle-ice cream-thing.

In the end, I reached home at about 12.30.



Saturday, and Today

Are two very boring days.
Spent the morning of Saturday helping out with some cleaning, the afternoon sleeping, and the night watching football.
Boring! But I needed the rest, I guess.
Been going out like crazy this past week, so yeah.

And then today, I felt like it was going to be another boring day.
So I got my tripod out and decided to play around with my camera.

But not before learning of something quite funny.
Another tire on the Getz was punctured.
Haha. That's the third tire from the same car.

My dad was like, maybe the car is cursed. Have to get a new one.
Hahahaha. What in the world eh.

Anyway, I had to help jack the car up so that he could change the tire, and that was the third time I was jacking up the car.

Haha. Sempat ambik gambar lagi tuh.

With and without the spare / emergency tire.

Ah, but that's not the end yet.
Remember how I said earlier in the post that I had some fun with my camera?
Well I was experimenting with the tripod and some exposures.
Hahaha.

And some experimental shots.
Must say that it was pretty fun playing around like this.
I feel like doing it again, but am prety lazy at the moment.
Plus, it is sooooooooo hot outside now.
Bah!

:D
