Optical illusion



this is amazing!













An optical illusion on colors, take note of the colour of background A and background B, the Grey color of both A and B appears to be different. One slightly darker than the other, or so it seems to be. Is it really different in term of tone?











The truth is, both A and B are of same color, take a look at the Grey strip that run across both the checker board boxes. Our mind is playing tricks with us.






initially i didn't trust the grey strip.



i thought maybe there was a gradient or something to blend in 2 shades of A and B. so i saved the first pict, open with Paint, and cropped out a part of A.


then i placed the crop beside B - viola! they are exactly the same!






even after my little experiment to prove they are the same, everytime i look at the pict, it still appears to me that A and B are just two very different tones!



amazing!

comex

went to comex with bong today, since my library items are due today and i'll have to make a trip to city hall anyway. 5 floors of IT galore - imagine the temptations of whipping out the plastic and cash to buy up all the uber cool gadgets i covet! withholding temptations is not something i am good at. i succumb to pretty colours, extra specs, nifty features, useless aesthetics... which explains why this is only my second time to comex, cos i know i will definitely walk out a pauper!

this is why bong was there with me, to STOP me if i stray my hands on other things. haha. this time round, i need an external HDD. backing-up on DVDs has always been my mantra, cos DVDs hardly ever die, unless you crack them of course. but as my lappie ages, i find it safer to have a quick back-up to a HDD first. oh, maybe i will get a new lappie next comex. haha.

got this sleek Western Digital (WD) 320GB at sgd169. and i'm doing the back-up now as i type. able to run softwares from it too (i think. the booth was too noisy i couldn't hear the sales guy.)

there are many pretty colours but the 320GB only has silver. UGH




i am sure they are so going to slash the price down on sunday last day. and i'm gonna read all about the wonderful bargains (better than mine) other people will grab. but the thought of the crowdiness is sucha huge turn off!




collected my TLR camera. something got jammed up inside and the shutter failed to work on wed. i sent it to steven and he went shaking his head. "aiyo you ah, spool went missing then now shutter spoiled." i feel so lousy man. he kept reminding me to take good care of the camera, "宝来的咧". i didn't even know how the shutter got knocked (according to him it suffered a knock so therefore it got jammed). most of the time i'd rather carry my own bag even if it's motherly heavy because i think i am more cautious than bong in preventing knocks. looks like i have to be even more careful now. steven did a great job anyway.

am going to bring the camera out soon to snap snap snap!! ;)

DEATH RACE




this movie is the shit!



it's so raw and sets your heart racing. i was constantly on the edge of my seat, never wanna miss any bit of the action. burning tyres, flaming cars and very generous bloody scenes. the male lead has an unbelievably hot bod. very man.


the plot is great too.



bong and i weren't even aware of this movie, we just decided to watch a movie and pick one from what's available. turned out to be a fantastic choice.
if this thrills even a girl, i believe most guys probably will enjoy it too.

a new 120mm addiction

i collected my first roll of 120 film from the lab today. i kept thinking about, so anxious to see the photos taken by my vintage Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) camera! i'm glad most frames turned out decent, not grossly over or under exposed. and the vignettes are so yummy. very eager to get my second roll going soon.



very confused by the brands of film available. i have no idea how to tell which brands are better!




oh i took the camera to 8Q Sam too. here's L leaving his mark on the chalkboard wall.









mini classroom







outside CPF building. i love the musky smell of the super old camera. vintage freak!







the colorful orbs together with the gurgling from the water fountain makes a soothing scene.
