a full morning

first day of one week break.
it is noon now and i feel FULL. the stomach is full and the brain is full too.
no apple for breakfast today because there just ain't any in the fridge. so it is carb instead- two pieces of toasts with a slice of cheese and a cup of coffee. i am satisfied. biting into the melting cheese is heavenly. one has to reward oneself from time to time.
the brain is also full with information now. breakfast is incomplete without newspaper. so there i was sitting at my regular place at home next to the window where the morning sun throws its warmth and lights. i need the chi to start the day but now it seems the body is already stuffed and it does not feel like moving at all.

this comes in the post. it is the first time esprit is issuing catalogues via mail. just when most companies are trying to save the earth by giving its members choices to subscribe via the web for their catalogues, esprit decides to print this big issue and post it to all their members in malaysia? we do get esprit updates online as well. is their business revenue dropping? one of the striped blazers caught my attention but the retail price is just a bit expensive (rm329.90). so let's wait for the sale shall we? haha....i do love esprit clothes as they are really comfortable and durable. my wardrobe has a lot of esprit and i wear them to work. i dun like their tees though. not unique enuf.

well, i better give myself a kick and start what i am supposed to do- editing photos!
since being appointed the head of photography club, i have been thinking of ways to make money so we can buy more equipment for the cameras or add another camera to the two we have.
selling a piece of photo for rm0.70 ain't getting me any profit at all considering the kind of editing work i have to do with each piece of photo. but seeing the happy faces of ppl going through their photos during sports practices, rehearsals and sports day makes my day. making ppl happy is a more important agenda. a lot of colleagues have been requesting for more candid shots of themselves but unfortunately there just weren't many. well, who would have thought that so many are so keen to get a hand of their own shots? the responses have been good. i guess everyone still wants shots of their memories printed on pieces of 4r paper. i know i do. i have all my photos on cds and in albums. flipping through albums is much more enriching than watching slide shows on the screen.

i love this candid shot....but i bet some kind of editing has been done to it looking at how the 2 characters really stood out in the photo. only the professional can do this and it depends on the equipment used to shoot this i think. i can't do this sort of editing so i just have to rely on good impulse and angles to shoot my photos.

ok...my eyes are going to be glued on the screen for some time still. those eye drops better be ready.

you better teach me some of what you learnt when you come back. but i think the photo is set at very high resolution to capture that kind of light.
we cannot use that high resolution because it is taking a lot of space in the card. we only do those good enuf to be printed on 4r paper.
