This morning I took MRT to work, after a whole week of comfy car rides from nice dad. Lately (maybe a few mths already lah), I cannot resist the temptation of being ferried to work in the morning. Sigh, Dad pays exorbitant ERP rates to ferry me to work, but he doesn't even complain... I should really get up early and do my part for the earth to squeeze with the office crowd - but laziness easily overpowers greenness.

Unfortunately, the only MRT ride of the work week was not pleasant. These days, seats are extremely hard to come by, though I get to board at the terminal station. Worse still, someone decided to treat the whole carriage to dizzying India/Arabic-sounding music for a good 15 min or so this morning. Was quite irritated with whoever was so inconsiderate.

It was a blah work day. Got pissed with colleague for tai-chi-ing a piece of work to me, but failed to fend it off despite dropping several hints that i had nothing to do with it. Sometimes cannot help wonder how much time is spent on work that doesn't really matter much to anyone. Dunno why I am getting so cynical.

I'm such a cross person today!

At the end of a long discussion today boss asked me and AQ why we looked so depressed. Part of the reason was prob cos it was like 645pm and I wanted to go for dinner but of course cannot say. Though prob at hand was indeed a bit tricky, that made it all the more challenging! Boss continued - we needed a fighting spirit! To which I blurted out something to effect like sure, we need fighting spirit to deal with challenges, but the thing must also be worth fighting for right. If not worthwhile fight for what... I think I succeeded in making boss think I a bit gone case... Sigh, I suppose I was overly frank, but sometimes need to voice out true feelings mah. Else everyone say niceties life would be so fake.

Am wondering if it's time to get a new camera... For some reason, my photos just aren't as sharp as I would like them to be. It might not all be the camera's fault though - I think I for one have shaky hands and need to learn how to hold my camera more steadily too... Maybe it's all a matter of practising more regularly and remembering to do all the right things. Nonetheless, still feel tempted to upgrade to a Canon 7D... :P

I think I'm really more of a still-life/ food photographer than say, an action photographer. I'm just not that great at capturing moments... plus camera is not power enough for fast action shots leh... Since it's rare for lazy ppl to become proficient at anything, I thus decided to practise taking food shots this weekend...
