Happy New Year 2008 :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!!! :) :) :)

Here's to the brand new year with a brand new beginning of all beautiful things to come *cheers*

OK.. woke up EARLY this morning despite the countdown the night before.. A good start to the new year indeed ;)

Went to the Orchid Gardens today with some members from photomalaysia.com forum for photo-shooting. I brought my tripod this time (thanks to Lik Xon!)... And yay got more toys to play with, coz they are all far more well-equipped than I am :P It's during outings like these that I get to play with filters, polaroids, flash (with self-made diffuser!) other great lenses.. and most importantly very good tips from these professional photographers ;P I got very excited taking macro shots :) :)

We finished shooting at about 1pm. By then I think I was already 3 shades darker :( Had lunch till about 2pm before leaving.
Later part of the afternoon Julia went sending cup-cakes to friends and I tagged along. We went all over KL. Santarina resumed work for 1st Jan as well!! :P We had dinner at Subang with her friends.. by the end of the day I was so tired and sleep-deprived from the accumulated lack of rest that I think I became quite hyper - it's a reverse kinda thing, I dunno why. When I'm hyper I talk a lot of... crap :P
Well since it's the new year - what are my new year resolutions?

1. Spend more time with dear ones - family and close friends
2. Learn Chinese (as in reading & writing) and maybe Japanese (if language 1 is successful :P)
3. Pick up more hobbies - maybe take up art classes, or some other crafts.. hehe and MAYBE diving!! :P ... and go for more orchestras and plays too!
4. Improve on current interest - photography :P
5. Explore new places.. and hopefully more trips!
6. ...the rest are more personal ones :P ... hehe... so it's strictly private & confidential :P

I think my mind may implode from the beauty. Nice nice photos, I love them, especially the photo of the creek with the rushing water blurred. NIce
