Today my hairstylist managed to con me into dying my hair dark brown... he has been telling me that my jet black hair + short bob makes me look overly studious... Then coupled with specs that I usually wear I apparently look like I just graduated. What's wrong with looking decent right, why did i give in today... Hmph, though hair color actually isn't obvious from afar, I am now a little upset that now hair color doesn't go with color of any of my specs!!! But what is done is done, so I shall just wait for hair to grow out... and take consolation in fact that I at least look teeny bit different from usual. And self-deceive that yeah, I have succeeded in looking older than fresh graduate... :(

I'm going to bring the loveliest camera bag in the world out for the 3rd time tmr! Having three photography lessons on consecutive days is xiong1, but oh well... At least it's something I enjoy :) Compared to previous instructor, this instructor is certainly less ad-hoc and has proper lesson plan :P As at now, feel like he focuses more on technique whereas previous instructor was more into composition of pictures... Though I already know most of the stuff about aperture, shutter and ISO; it was good nonetheless to get some revision. And seriously I always trial and error to get a good exposure and am terrible when it comes to how many f-stops up or down, that sorta thing. Maybe it's time to work on better precision instead of perpetual "try again if this combi doesn't work'' :P

Yesterday I found myself the nicest-looking camera bag in the world for my Canon 40D... Haha ok I guess you can tell that I am exaggerating. But well, the reason I am so happy is cos all the camera bags floating around are mostly box-ey or weird-shaped with some stubbornly defined form and I would feel so 浑身不自在 if I had to carry them around ALL the time. So you can imagine my delight when I discovered T1oo (self invented acronym for my camera bag model)... cos it looks just like any outdoor sling bag... and is super env-friendly (95% made from recycled materials)... Well the only tiny flaw (big to some serious enthusiasts i guess) is that it actually has like non-existent cushioning for the camera... But it's ok if you are ultra-careful in handling the camera right (so I think :P) In any case, I now have something presentable to go to my new photography class with next week!

For some strange reason, I have been stricken with sudden fever, sore throat and running nose over weekend... I wish myself a speedy speedy recovery!
