生活点滴:胸肌篇续集


这是上载了胸肌篇两天后的生活小插曲。要看过那一篇才会明白这一篇。


懒虫的我当然是七点会议前几分钟才起床,开电脑,登录公司网络然后蒙蒙查查开一个接一个的会。

那天早上最后一个会议拖了超过半小时才终于结束,之后我匆匆准备出门上班。

冲凉后剃胡子时,刚游泳回来的老婆仔问:

等下我会去 Tesco,你有什么要买的吗?

满脸满嘴剃胡子的泡沫,所以我没有马上回答。

老婆仔又加了一句:

要我帮你买女孩发育时穿的乳罩吗?

哇唠!害我差点剃伤我自己。

要这样对我昧?不要睬你!

哈哈哈哈!

*sigh*


Wanted to post something cheery, nice, funny, or a combination of those.

But that would not be genuine in my current state.

I am in a depression bout. Four days now.

Did have a few bright moments, like the visit of the university friends, so nice to see them again, together, happily married, and well. And the LEGO session with the kids, that was meaningful too.

Only I couldn't sustain the happiness. Not when I am in such psychological state. Darn depression.

I suppose I should be grateful that it has been a while since my last depression bout. But again, it's hard to be optimistic in this state.

Just so... lifeless, meaningless, tired.

Don't like myself when I am like this. Don't want to. But I can't help it.

*sigh*

Weekend without internet


Home internet connection started to die on us on Friday night, then whole day Saturday with sporadic moment of extremely slow connection available, and thus far the whole of Sunday until now.

It's 15:21 hours and wifey, after answering a call on her smartphone, noticed she got some updates on her Facebook, so I opened my web browser and lo and behold, we have connection, albeit a slow one.

Not sure how long this slow connection will last so just a brief entry here to say that initially I planned to post the next entry in the "An aeroplane a day" series but since it requires many images upload I have decided to leave it till later in the week when internet is really back to normal.

Gotta say I am so used to having internet now that without it, life is just... less interesting. For one thing that darn Diablo III can only be played online and weekend is  when I have some time to play game, *sigh*.

Here's hoping the internet will stay up for the rest of the day, though I am not optimistic about it.

I'll be back (2)


In this series: |part 1|

All photos in this series are presented as photographed, unless otherwise specified, the only image manipulations done were resize, crop and adding watermark.

-----

February theme for The Light Room, that's the group for photography enthusiasts I started early this year, is Speed.

The person who set the theme this month said Speed, not Motion, but I interpreted it as motion anyway and got my grey matter working on possible motion shots. =P

I narrowed down to three techniques to try: (1) panning, (2) rear curtain sync, and (3) zoom burst.

panning = not easy

In terms of difficulty, for me, zoom burst is the easiest, followed by rear curtain sync, and panning being the toughest.

I am only sharing 3 out of ~200 shots, imagine my failure rate =P

When the February theme was set, I still had the borrowed DSLR with me for another weekend, so I capitalised on that and spent a day testing my panning skill, and the other on rear curtain sych.

well at least I made a genuine attempt at honing my panning skill

I dropped zoom burst because it's more like induced motion effect instead of genuine motion. Might well be because I didn't really put much thought to it in the first place, probably could have tried zoom burst with moving object.

I went about my rear curtain sych shots like a still life, giving myself maximum control

Anyway, panning turned out... crap. =P

Took near to 200 shots (thank you digital!) and didn't really have any that I am really pleased with. Background, foreground, subject, composition, just don't really like them for all the panning shots, so I had to make my rear curtain sync attempts count.

I actually had a few decent shots to choose from

I ended up submitting one of my rear curtain sych shots, took me 59 shots before I am happy with what I got.

this is the final photo I selected

生活点滴:胸肌篇


警告:那些对夫妻间的情趣敏感,会觉得恶心的人请止步,不要看下去了,不然后果自负。

*****

这是去年十月发生的生活小插曲,我当时草草记下纲要后就一直没有把它写成完整的文章,至到今天。

那天冲凉时,老婆仔突然讲了这样一句:

你好像有奶了哦!”(好像发现新大陆那样)

拜托,什么奶啦,叫做胸肌啦!”我连忙答道。

哈哈,奶!

你这样讲是我肥了还是我壮了哦?

老婆仔给我个调皮的暗笑。

你讲奶应该是我肥了的意思呱?”我有点懊恼。

还是那坏坏的笑。

我放弃,转问:

嗯,需要穿什么 cup 啊?A?

没有 cup!

哈哈!” =P



*****

全然不相关的附注:

那篇杂记里还写了这样一句:

「突然有种自身难保,很不想再在乎他人的感觉。」 -- 121016

咦,是什么事或心境让我写下那句哦?我已不能记得了。

Oh, you read...


Somehow, it surprises me when someone unexpected said something about what I wrote in my blog. This makes me a bit embarrassed.

I know this blog is open to the public, it's just that when a friend or colleague who had never mention a thing about knowing my blog suddenly talks about a post I made, that always catches me by surprise.

You see, I have no delusion about my reader base, it's not difficult to figure out who contributed to the five to fifteen views per day.

Obviously, myself, who usually checks the blog at least once per day, is the main contributor. =P

Then there are those rare few (near extinct =P ) who left comments with recognisable name or alias. And lastly there are those who talk and joke about my entries a few days after I posted them.

So I know roughly who among my friends and colleagues read me blog.

But once in a while I will get a surprise from someone unexpected that makes me frantically think if I have ever written something bad about that unexpected person.

Erm... ya, guilty conscience. =P

Even though I have started to use alias or nickname, the person involved most likely will still be able to recognise him or herself. Unless I am like, super vague.

Oh well, it's not like I am making things up.

Opinions excluded of course, opinions are by nature, subjective. Here's hoping whoever reads my blog is mature enough to accept opinions as just that, opinions. Everyone is entitled to have their own. =)

Anyway, this unexpected reader thing, recently I am starting to feel the same with my Facebook posts...

Is it just me?

收拾心情


新年长假,很遗憾的,已经过去了。

唉…

老婆仔昨天傍晚开始,看到我就暗笑。问她做么她又不讲,干脆抱着我不给我看到她调皮坏坏的笑。

睡前晚安拥抱和吻时她仍是如此,我便死缠烂打问到她答为止。

每次假期完时你都那幅显显很惨的样子,很好笑喽。

什么啦,怎么可能要我这个懒虫在假期完时是开心的嘞?

我可从来都没有否认过我是个懒人哦,我就是我嘛…

我信奉睡觉的嘛,每天都可以睡到太阳晒屁股我会很开心的。 ^_^

新年假期说要睡到像猪那样都没做到,总是有东西要做要早起,或被两个小瓜吵醒,很不爽喽。 =\

倒是吃到像猪那样就有啦,肚皮一大粒。 -_-

现在要努力恢复我直直平平方方的身形。长方形也是一种躯体形状来的…

我是懒人,但也是劳碌命的人,一下放假就会生病的,真是命贱啊!

命贱的懒人,这样的组合真是悲。 >_<

罢!是时候收拾心情来…抱怨!哈哈! =P

开工大吉,拼呀!
