long yesterday out with a guy who is having his first sleep in tekong peacefully (hopefully).

waited for a god damn hour for my friend at dover mrt station. was very pissed about it. but that was a trivial issue...just hope that he wouldn't do it again.

went to far east to have subway for lunch. next was kinokuniya to look for holga cameras.

totally fascinated by the sample photos taken using holga cameras...especially that you can use different lenses for effects (e.g. fish eye lens to have black corner effects on your photos) or do something to your negative too. but the prices shown in kinokuniya was quite a turn off for me. most of the average cameras start at $100 onwards.

then we went to some shops around orchard/somerset before we left for city hall to meet up with the soon to be bald guy.

friend was interested in t-shirts (like me) so we went to the peninsula shopping centre (not the burmese fortress) upon my suggestion. in the end we got two tees. another guy joined us from work but he left for another job soon after. interesting.

crossed the road to the burmese fortress. first stop was the so called "chamber of secrets" where i was looking for shoes among hundreds of them (imagine a small shop with hundreds of shoes stacked everywhere inside and the interior is so quiet that it's like a chamber...thus the name flashed through my mind and there you go. chamber of secrets.).

then we looked for more cameras. all the way to bras brasah area for more holga. haha. but again the prices aren't far from what we saw.

we were all very hungry and yet spent quite some time to decide on where to eat (we do have tight budgets at times). finally we reached just acia at suntec to make sure our stomachs were filled. fun dinner moments with stupid jokes and lame actions as usual.

friend left for something else. so we stayed on for a while before we had a walk around suntec then travelled back home. saw a quite a nice looking pouch in springfield but i was hesitant on purchasing it- because of price? a little. ($59) how i wish my classmates bought me this instead. haha.

so tempted to buy a cheap holga camera now and start snapping. i got this good deal from my friend: http://khloee.livejournal.com/13911.html#cutid1 (you can get to see some of the shoots taken by the owner in it too)

during the trip i suddenly had this idea of having a holga camera for my very future honeymoon trip (other trips too but that was what came through my mind first...which is pure dreaming.). i guess this can be a very good leisure hobby for me. but i doubt i will go beyond holga i guess. no matter what there are somethings which digital cameras can't replace.
