the wannabe photographer

yeah let's keep things going since we seem to be having one of those contemplative moments, minus the wah rauz checkers game and tranformorons videos.

Well here i am sitting in my room at sex thirty on a friday morn. As most of you would know this is pretty normal for me cos well..it is. no reason for that, i used t say it was cos of the "flexible" time of the job as a photographer, but it's not that. i guess it's just nicer when it's quieter for a while.

Work has been well, crummy honestly. Since i graduated with the amazingly good results i received from OOOOOklahoma, i've been trying to somehow carve a career out of something that well was just second nature i guess. For the record, photogaphy is NOT my passion. I do of course enjoy the job to some degree, but it's not a lightning bolts, fields of corn with the wind blowing as we run gingerly through the plantation kinda thing for me. It's still work and the images you get to take to get paid as a noob cameraman (as most pple refer to me as) tend to be pretty boring and tasteless.

It's taken it's toll on my days. I've been finding it more difficult to get up to get work done. If there was work in the first place. A couple of jobs here and there make my work life seem somewhat lucrative, and though i tell most pple i'm doing good and all is well, it isn't. I'm honestly looking into possibly giving up my freelance lifestyle for something a bit more 9-5. It's a sad thing for me though i know that i am blessed to have had the fortune of living the way i have for this year or so. I guess maybe it's time to realise i can't just keep in my comfort zone. Once i've tied down a couple of loose ends i'll probably start looking for my new job.

On the flip side, our dear cockenaden has finally decided to actually get a demo tape up with me. Though i think most of you guys already know, jason and i would hopefully be able to get some original stuff recorded before the end of october. It's gonna be tough and it's been pretty hard work for the both of us, but i'm sure it'll be heard somewhere. Whether it ends up being some bubblegum pop kinda tune you can't shrug off is not really my concern at this point. Now that is something to look forward to i guess. We'll keep you posted.

And yes like i've said to many others when we get rich and famous, we'll all meet up at my club, jason's church, glenn's yacht, youwen's 15-seater tank, ding's penang kway teow factory, leon's bootcamp for ladies, joshua's water balas facility thingy, fat cat's techoarchi theme park, kd's food palace(s), barney's heart-shaped waterbed that sleeps 5, fai's hospital-zilla-dilla-the-dance-floor-killa or maybe even wai's newly proclaimed country called gordon............... for some vitasoy and shaw pool chicken rice. Wouldn't that be nice?

let's work our asses off so we can live like we were 15 once again. =)

cheers to all my brothers.


now i'm gonna sleep.
