My First Experience as an event photographer in TP Talent Quest
Event: 2006 TP Talent Quest Final
Date: 24 November 06 7pm
It was my very first time shooting photos of an event. Thanks TPVC to give me a chace to take photos in such an event.
Went to school at about 6pm and buy extra batteries for my camera at Cheers. Then, at about 630pm, went to VC Dark Room to attend a short briefing about the event. I didn't have a nice cam with zoom and manual settings, so I took my friends'(Ko Than Htike) camera. His camera is not fully SLR, but can adjust ISO, zoom, etc. There were total of 4 photographers for the event. We went to the Audi 1 at 7pm and Audi was full of audience. Then, I went downstair to the left hand side of the stage to shoot photos.
Then, the constentants started singing. There were total of 20 finalists and they sang English, Chinese and other songs. I shot performances of the first 4 finalists and then went to backstage to shoot photos of finalists preparing and waiting for their turn. There were many finalists sitting and watching the performance of their fellow contestents singing on Live LCD screen. I was a bit scared of them and haven't shot nice photos of them at the backstage.
After that, I went back to Audi. I changed position to the front of the stage to shoot close-up shots. I got many good photos.
The event ended at 930. A female student from Design school got first prize. Then, I shot photos of her final singing and at the end of the event, I went backstage to shoot the celebration. But the lighting was very bad and I did't manage to get nice shots.
Then, went back to dark room to return school cameras. Then went back home at 1030pm.
Felt tired and sleepy when I returned home. Shooting photos of live event is more difficult compare to non-living things like natural scenes because people are moving and the lighting of such event is very difficult to get decent shots.
I am looking forward to shooting more events in the future..

Updated 22 Nov Wednesday
Haven't update my blog for 2 weeks. I have been busy attending school these days.
No time to update my blog. Today, I update...
This Friday, I'll be event photographer for TP Talent Quest. It will be my very first time shooting an event and I feel a bit worry and nervous because I don't have any experience for shooting events. Luckily, I will be accompanied by a senior photographer from TPVC, so i think i will gain much experience from her.
Last Week, I thought about shooting one photo a day and upload to my blog. It have been a very long time since I last shoot a well composed photo. So I think if I not shoot regularly, my skill will become lower. I just dissapointed about my simple point-and-shoot camera because it don't have functions and optical zoom like DSLRs... I eager to get a DSLR but it was quite expensive so now I try to shoot photos using my current cam...

First Week of School finished
First weeks, 26 lessons finished. What a long week full of classes.
I was not very familiar with the time and location of classes. One thing I remember is the two four-hour lecture slots which are on Monday and Thursday.
OOPG is not very difficult, and creating new classes is very interesting. In HOOP, the java.Swing class is very useful for creating new user interface.
So far.. CMATHS2 Topic One - Functions - is easy. I have already learnt it in my Grade 11.
IISO is also interesting. It teaches me how information is very important in doing business. It is very practical and useful..
The pratical lesson of IISO was also full of fun. We auctioned things, act as manufactures, distributors, retailors and customers..
Blogging from school lib.. Will continue when I reached home...

Semester 2 Begins Today
First Day of New semester...
Woke up early at 7 am. Arrived school at 8 plus.. I arrived so early that there were few students. Went to lab to print an entry form for photo competition called 'Something Old, Something New'. Due date is the end of this month.
Monday was full of lectures and tutorials. Based on the timetable, I got only one hour break. But there was no lab session. So got two extra hours of break.
OOPG was just revision of PRSP, so it was easy. HOOP is new subject. and Higher Java programming subject. There were so many lecture slides to be covered within a single one hour lecture slot. So, I needed to concentrate much.
CMATHS2 has topics that I fear like permutation and drawing of graphs..Need to work hard..
For CMSK3, I need to do report writing and oral presentation. Should be okie..
Today, felt very very tired. after school ended at 5plus, I went to lab to study and review some lessons taught. Only arrived home at 8:15....
What a tiring Monday...

This purpose of this event was to celebrate three lighting festival. There students played ice-breaker games and were introduced to different traditions and culture of India, China and Myanmar.
After playing games, all students were given a Chinese latern and proceeded to Fountain Pound. There, dinner was privided. After that, we celebrated Myanmar Lighting Festival.
Before the end of the event, each and every student was treated with Chinese Mooncakes and Tea. In our group of 7 students, all were from Myanmar except two students from China. It was a great experience to get to know students from different countries. The event ended at 9:30pm.
Because of that, I miss Man U match. But I was glad that Man U beat Wigan 3-1. They were leading the Premier League Table..

191006 Thursday
Watched Champions League Match between Chelsea and Barcelona at 1 am. The match was not as interesting and exciting as their previous meetings. May be because they met in Group Stage. So boring match that I went to sleep again after Drogba scored one goal for Chelsea.
Woke up early again at 7 am to attend Microsoft's 'Walk The Success Lane' Seminar. Took MRT to Raffles' Place and went to Microsoft auditorium at Level 21 of One Marina Bovelard building. Different speakers talked about Microsoft, IT Job Market, how to write resume, Windows Vista sneak preview respectively. Quite boring. But Windows Vista is very cool and nice, it's user interface is more attractive than Windows XP. It's Windows Office 2007 is also full of function. Looking forward to upgrade my XP to Vista.
Today, I was lucky, won one backbag, Microsoft T-shirt and Wiress Optical Mouse at lucky draw!!
Then, I rushed to school to attend Semesteral briefing. There I met again with my very good friends from C133.
The briefing was very short and very brief. There are many subjects we need to take in the coming semester. The are much more lessons in one week compared to the first semester. One thing to relief is that I don't need to take CDS this semester!
Went to Ko Than Hitke house and then went to Mustafa Centre. There my friend bought new Casio Watch, one bermuda. For me, I just did window-shopping.
Then went back home and arrived home at 8pm. Very tired.....
The pictures of the day,
Hazy photos of Singapore

7 Days to school reopen!
Not update for very long time. Last Monday, went to school for orientation of new international students who will attend October intake. Went to school with the hope of meeting with my friend who was chosen to attend TP. I was hoping she would come to orientation. I also found her name in the registration list. But she did not come. I didn't know what happened to her. I had no information about her except her email. I sent email about the event but no reply. Wish everything is OK with her!
I met with about 13 Myanmar fresher students! Sadly, all of them will attend Engine School. (There is no October Intake for INT school). There are five groups. I was a mentor of Group 3. Group leader was Sweekee. There was 2-hour briefing for freshers. Then, we guided all group members to differnet stations around the school to play station games. Most of the games are boring... Not as funny and interestion as the games I played in April Orientation organized by TPSU.
On Tuesday, went school again for second day of orientation. It was another boring day again! There wasno game, but hour-long briefings. :(

New Features Added at Side Bar
Hello Everyone!
Wishing u enjoy health of body and peace of mind!
I already added two new features in the side bar of my blog.
The first one is Web Poll.
Here you can vote one situation that suit you most from the list of choices.
Today, I start my very first Poll to find out how many hours of computer usage for different people.
So, please vote! Choose one that best represent you. Looking forward for many and accurate votes.
The second feature is interesting feature called Yahoo! Babel Fish.
It is a tool that will help you translate from one language to another (for exam ple English to Chinese, or vice versa). There are total of 12 languages. So if you need any translation just key in either single word, sentences or the whole paragraph. For languages other than English, just selete the paragraph, copy and paste it into the box. And choose from what language you want to translate into which language.
It can translate the whole website also, just key in the url address of the webpage you want to translate.
But it is based on a special software that recognize certain words, so there will be certain few words or phrases you cannot get translated or mis-translated. But such cases are minor compared to the tranlation of many many words within few seconds.

It has been over ten days since I last update new post. It is because I do not have very interesting thing to blog about and may be because of my laziness to blog. Now here comes my new update.
Last Monday, I went to school for mentoring programm for new International students who will attend the coming October Semester. There I met with about 30 plus international students and learnt how to play station games and other things. The oritentation will take place at 9 and 10.
Yesterday, Man U BEAT Newcastle 2-0. It was excellent form for Man U. But Newcastle not played very well and their midfield and defence cannot control man of the match Ronaldo.
Last weekend most of the days are very hazy. When I looked into distance I couldn't see everyting clearly..
There is mid-autumn festival lightning festival at Chinatown. I haven't went there, may be going there after my sister finish exam.
This time, in Myanmar, there Thadingyut Festival going on. During this period, all the people across the country lit candles and laterns at their houses and pagodas. It is the holiday period for students. Also, it is the end of the rainy season and the weather is appropriate for outdoor activities. And young people do good deeds such as doing donations, paying respect and help the older people and so on.
My teacher also organize lightning festival at Kan-Oo Pagoda every year. The whole compound is very bright with the light from thousands of candles. There, me and my friends lit candles went arond the town in the evening. The whole town came alive when the night fell. Many young children played on the street and frequently the sound of firework can be heard.
I missed it alot. . . .

Long time no blog.. I have been lazy to upload new entries.
Yesterday, I went to library and help my friend design a poster. Spent the whole afternoon there.
On Monday, went to school at about 12 to help Ms Low, our careperson. She had to teach teachers from secondary school about Alice application. So, I helped her as a helper. I just helped correct some errors and problems feaced by teachers. It was very enjoyable to use Alice again. I created a game. It is a very difficult task to create a game using Alice.
In the past weekend, Manchester United, my favourite, lost 1-0 to Arsenal. Man U's defence was very week and cannot control powerful striker. Rooney, returning from suspension, was also below per. But I believe they will crush Reading this weekend..

Class BBQ
Location: East Coast Park, BBQ pit #24
Time: 5pm to 10pm
Today is class outing, went to Bedok Interchange to meet with my friends and go to East Coast. Before that, it rained heavily, so I felt worried that all ppl will soaked with water at BBQ. Still raining when I went to Interchange. Luckily, it stopped when I reached there. I searched my friends but could not find anyone around Interchange because I arrived too early. Later, met with Eepeng and Gina and we all waiting for Fii and Andy. Then we all went to Danny's place and help him carry all the things for BBQ. He arranged food for the whole class. But not all students came today. So there was much food..
Then, we went to BBQ pit 24. Danny started making fire for BBQ. Then, at about 6pm we start BBQ. Dany was BBQ expert. He prepared all the food very well and everything was delicious. There were chicken, sausage, stingray, mussel, mango chicken and so on.
Later, Ms Low joined us. She said that the results will out this Thursday.. Then, her two sons and husband arrived. Her younger son was very cute and he started running around with Gina, CL and Eepeng.
Ate until i feel full. It was a enjoyable evening. But, I wished all students came and joined. But only Andy, Danny, Huiyuan, Gina, EEpeng, CL, Fii, Aizart, June, Ryan, Lokman, Ms Low and her family participated.
About 10pm, all went back home, I went together with Danny, Andy and Aizert to bus-stop. Then I took 196 to Interchange.
REACHED at home at about 1115, and felt so tired.
