Remember.
The apple that
killed
Snow White was a masterpiece brewed from the poison of jealousy.
Not hate.

Drums. Photography. Video. Games. Drums. Photography. Video. Games.

All of my interests come and go. One moment I'm dying to be indulged in something I would be willing to do for the rest of my life, the next moment I find myself bored and no longer ignited with passion for it.

Drums have been a part of my life ever since I was introduced into music. I had always found myself drumming to the beats of the song, whether or not I knew how to. Now that I've joined my drumming groups, I've always been drumming whenever the opportunity arises. But I guess my drumset playing is taking it's toll on my constant loss of interest. Just a week ago I was so excited to be able to play the drumset, and I was mildly interested to take the videos. But now I'm just full head-on about the videos and I wish I didn't have be pressured by the songs which I have to master by Thursday, if not I'd be making a fool of myself. Vulnerable to harsh words and criticism by others who are better.

Photography has been going pretty strong for a few weeks now, but it is slowly being eaten up by my new found passion for video-making. I guess videos can describe much more than a photo... and it appeals to me. I want to be able to relive the moments of my memories through something more than just a still photograph. Perhaps I'm not grasping the right way to take a good photo. After all, my main purpose of taking a photo is not for memories, but to look at things at a different point of view.

Games has been a part of me, always. Since 9 I have been playing countless numbers of games, all of different types. I only stop when I get bored. Right now, I'm not bored anymore. I only stop when I find it uninteresting, or I'm at a limit of improvement. I can't seem to experience how good it feels when I'm finally able to do something I have not been able to do before. But each time when I do come back again, I find myself at another level. Getting better at things I swore I was never going to be good at.

Videos are such an interesting but constant pain to be involved in. They in whole, are able to bring you so many different levels of emotions. Whatever a good director wants you to feel, you go through it. But what some fail to realize, or even delude, is that the production of the video itself is so tedious. From the video-taking, to the editing, to the processing,to the importing and exporting. Everything is just so time-consuming, and you feel like a whole part of you is gone just as you wait for your programs to complete their assigned job. Still... video-making is my newest passion.

There is so much more to Sentosa than just then beach, the waves, music, sun and stars. There is every scent of you and I.

I enjoyed my first trip to Sentosa with bi very much. I could not stop feeling joy at the sight of the person who is definitely going to be here with me for the rest of my life. Though she feels so insecure infront of the camera, I wouldn't like to take any picture of myself without her.

From the time we met up at Vivocity, till the time I sent her off the bus stop, I couldn't stop feeling how lovely it was to be spending time with her at a place we had decided to go so abruptly. From all the trouble just to get to the beach, to all the trouble just to clean her face up. Nothing that I have done in the past could be the same.

It was just wonderful. Our home-cooked meal filled the pitch of emptiness in my stomach so well, and the surroundings just made everything feel so fantastic. Laying down looking at the stars (I did for awhile), laying down just enjoying each other's embrace, and how romantic it felt just to have you in my arms, feet in lukewarm sea water, and listening to the music and just having to be that close to you without the fear of anyone looking.

Not a day is the same without you with me.

I did a video on our trip to Sentosa, and to celebrate our 9th anniversary too :) Kept smiling to myself whenever I watched the videos again and again.

I realize(long ago) that I'm not a patient person. Even when I'm making videos, even when I'm writing a story sometimes. I can't wait to get it finish. Perhaps these hobbies of mine help me to slow down in this fast-paced country we live in. Perhaps these hobbies serve to have memories with you recorded down in history.

My hobbies come, hobbies go, but you are the one thing I know that will stay.
