PROJECT WORLD PHOTO DAY 2005
Our world is both diverse and exciting. What do people do at breakfast, at mid-day or at night in different parts of the world? The World Photo Day 2005 Project aims to reveal the way people live throughout the world. It will show the different life styles and practices of people.
This project's intent is to get the people of the world to see what each other do on a typical day. It will also reveal that although our situations may be different, we all share very many common traits. Hence on one specified day in 2005, photographers from all over the world will capture what people do as they go about their daily business. To help to promote World Photo Day NASA will ask the crew of the International Space Station to take a photo of earth from their space station as well.
In Singapore, NYAA Council and the NYAA Young Photographers' Network invites all young people in Singapore to submit one photo of life in Singapore taken on Wednesday, 1 June 2005 for the World Photo Day 2005 Project.
ALL PHOTOGRAPHS MUST BE TAKEN ON WEDNESDAY, 1 JUNE 2005.
Please save your digital photograph in a floppy disk or CD and send it to NYAA Council. If you are not using the digital format, you can also submit your photo (hard copy) to the NYAA Council before 11.00pm on 1 June 2005. No photographs will be accepted after 11.00pm.
The NYAA Council looks forward to your participation. Together we will put Singapore on the world map of photography.
Thank you.
With warmest regards
James Soh
Executive Director
National Youth Achievement Award Council (NYAA)
have i mentioned how much i hate fantaisie-impromtu?
yeah..the one by Chopin..
ugh..
i hate that it sounds wonderful and yet so hard to play..
i hate that it's taking me ages to master the first complicated bar..
i hate that the notes arent meant to be played together.
i hate that this piece is one that's not governed by rules.
i hate that i can't get it right.
i hate and i love this piece and sooner or later i'm gonna be able to play it.
grrrr.
Angel in Disguise - Corrinne May
I woke up this morning feeling kinda blue
And I stumbled out of bed and
Dragged my feet across the room
Right outside my front door was a rose
And a note that said 'Somebody Loves You'
But out on the street it starts to pour
And before I get soaking wet
A total stranger runs to give me
The jacket off his back
I turn around to thank him
But he waves me with a smile
I can hardly believe my eyes
He puts on a halo and starts to fly
Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to an angel in disguise
I met a good friend for lunch
And we had a delicious meal
But I forgot to bring my wallet
I felt like an imbecile
But she was sweet, she gave me a treat and
Bought me a chicken sandwich
To take home for tea
But out on the street with nothing to eat
A man and his shopping cart go
Travelling to places
Collecting social graces
I gave him my sandwich
And we chatted for a while
I see a rainbow wash over his eyes
He gives me his halo and I start to fly
Don't try to hide away from me
I know you're by my side...
Everyday can be legendary
Every minute, an endless surprise
You could be the next angel in disguise.
jamie was a chinese teacher last evening..
because..
today's the O level chinese papers..
and...my chinese is bad lar..
really bad..
i have an obvious kantang slang..
i mean...i'm sure i didn't have it at the start of my chinese education..
but somehow it sprouted along the way..
so...
there was i..trying to read the hanyu pinyin words from the sec 4 vocab book that my bro had..
and there he was trying to decipher what i wanted him to write..
ah..
tis' wasn't a pretty sight..
luckily for the both of us...the chinese language only has 4 tones..
so...
the chances of getting the word correct is pretty high..not like some dialects...sheese..(just use probability to figure it out) it's a 25% chance that i'll get a word correct..
:)
but then again..the chinese language has...MILLIONS of words that sound the same..so...bummer..ah..
so...yeah...we took 2hours to get thru the 4A syllabus...i almost died..
but i realised that i know how to write some words!! hahahaha
that's not tooo bad...
:)
lalalala...
rights..
so..that's jamie's latest brush with chinese.
oh and...i really don't believe it..but..my bro's reading some book at the moment titled, "The Bible"..
and i'm like o_O
yeah..cuz it's the comic version of the Bible..not that it's comic comic..but it's the sorta summarized version with pictures and stuff...should bring it to church soon..
and he was testing my bible knowledge..which..erm...sucks..
i mean...yeah..
i'm bad..i know..
ha..ah wells...
stitches coming off tmr!
WHOOPEEE!!
i'm gonna get me a tub of ice-cream after they come off!!!
WOOHOOO!!!
i'm erm...fine..
with stitches in my mouth..
and swollen cheeks.
i was awake all the time the op was going on..
and there were metal stuff being stuck in my mouth..
and i hate injections...i'm serious..
there were no tears when the drilling started, or when they stitched me back up..the only tears came when they injected me..
i was mentally running through my list of expletives..
gosh.
ah wells..
and the song of the month is 'Wind beneath my wings'
because..that happened to be the song that was playing when they were working on my first site..
the other songs were...erm...Kiss from a Rose and i-don't-remember
ah..
anyway...
i need to take my painkillers....
and i'm eating SOFT food...like a BABY..
and...
i won't be going anywhere for the next few days..
boring...
i've got reminded of something i did ages ago..
seems apt to be reminded of this work..
the photo ain't mine..
the words ain't mine..
but i added the words and the photos together..
so does that make it mine?
i would like to think so.. :)
this
i'm scared.
it kills me to admit it..
but i'm scared.
about the op tomorrow.
the weirdest part is that..
i'm afraid of the anesthesia injection thingy.
ah.
gah.
nicht gut.
i reckon that's the only part to be afraid of anyway..
since i prolly won't be able to feel nuts after that..
just that i'm trying to recall if the after-effects of the op hurts.
i don't really remember..
i had a minor op done before..it's prolly gonna be similar and stuff..
but the thing was that..
that was spontaneous..i didn't know that i had to go for an op right this instant..
and tomorrow..it's all official and stuff..with a blue letter which i'm supposed to bring along..together with a parent and i/c.
i hate injections.
i force my eyes shut everytime i have to take an injection.
or if i want to act tough and stuff...i'll focus on something in the room..away from the frigging needle that looks as if it WANTS to pierce my skin.
i tell me that an injection just feels like an ant bite..not that i've ever known what's an ant bite.. :|
i usually kill or flick the ant away before it bites me..
but i hate injections on my gums..
that's a reason why most of my tooth extractions are done at home...in the privy of my own bathroom..done by a renowned dentist by the name of Jamie Lim.
ah shits.
i'm thinking of backing out.
but wearing retainers sucks big time.
i rather wear my braces than retainers.
ugh.
ah wells....
i'm back from mosquito-land.
don't really think i've got any bites tho.
but..
still..
it's GREAT to be back.
Batam's BORING.
sighs.
been catching up on some reading..
Case of Christ.
not too bad.
but it's heavy reading.
ah wells.
just pray for me peeps.
will be going for a minor op tmr at 3pm.
yups.
just pray that i'll faint once the thing starts.
heh.
:)
love ya.
and i prolly will end up looking like a guinea pig with fat cheeks
and i prolly won't be able to talk properly.
ah..
wells.
just pray yeah?
thanks!
i like talking to jac..
she's funny and she makes me laugh.
:D
ah wells..
holding on 2 convos at the same time.

Little Superhero Girl.
I feel like a little girl
Trying to conquer the whole wild world
Everybody wants a piece of me
And I just don't know where to run
I've got work piled up to my head
All I want to do is jump into bed
And wash away my troubles with lemonade
Play hide and seek with the boy next door
Take a trip to Singapore
And imagine how i'll make the world a better place
All I need is a good disguise
One where nobody can recognize
That I'm feeling so small
All I need is a secret weapon
I've gotta have faith
Zapping monsters into outer space
I'm gonna be a Superhero
Na-na-na-na...
If I were a little girl
Trying to clean up the whole wide world
I'd kick the bad boys back to school
Teach them fighting's just not cool
I'd give every kid a teddy bear
Turn starving people into millionaires
Break glass ceilings with dynamite
Sprinkle a little sugar and spice
Turn the bullies that terrorize
Into pink poodles that bark but don't bite
All I need is a good disguise
One where nobody can recognize
That I'm feeling so small
All I need is a secret weapon
I've gotta have faith
Zapping monsters into outer space
I'm gonna be a Superhero
Na-na-na-na...
Little Superhero Girl
Little Superhero Girl
Save me
Little Superhero Girl
Little Superhero Girl
Save me from myself
I feel like a little girl
Trying to conquer the whole wide world
