生活点滴：前世情人篇续集

今天打球，回到家吃晚餐时已有点晚。老婆仔电视连续剧广告时刻进厨房问我有没有在面子书上看到大学朋友刚出世的女儿照片。

“好可爱哦！”

“是啊？我还没看到。”

然后我又看着天花板说：

“老天，我现在是很不爽你了咯。每个人都有女儿，除了我，我到底做错什么？”

“哪里是每个人都有啦？”

“我不管，对我来说是每个人。” 我很固执的耍赖。

“嘻嘻，谁叫你前世没有情人？” 老婆仔调皮的说。

“哎哟！这样的话我下一世不是又没有女儿？” 我突然惊觉。

“哈哈，谁叫你不懂得花心？” 又是那坏坏的笑。

“不是懂不懂，而是要不要的问题，okay？” 我讲到很厉害那样。

“你要吗？”

“不要。” 讲到很小声那种，真泄气… “显咯，我下一世要做女人！” 我发牢骚。

“哈哈哈！”

看来我下一世又是没有女儿的啦，真是勾叉零蛋三角形！ >_<

生活点滴：前世情人篇

今天在霸级市场巧遇老婆仔的干妹和她先生，购物完回程时老婆仔说：

“二十个星期后她的肚子大得比较快，这次见她比最后一次大了很多。”

“有咩？”

我承认我是有点盲，没有去注意这些的啦。老婆仔又说：

“她老公知道是女的后很开心。”

“为什么嘞？他不要男的咩？”

“男人都喜欢女儿的啦。”

唉，这话题讲了就伤心，我是非常十分想要个女儿的。

“也是对的。”

然后我很戏剧化的对天花板说：

“每个人都有女儿，除了我。天啊！你为什么要这样对我？！？！”

老婆仔手托在我的肩膀上说：

“人家说女儿是前世的情人，所以看来你是不会有女儿的啦。”

“你是在说我前世没有情人啦！你就这样多情人，两个瓜都是男的。” *不爽* =\

“哦，儿子是你前世的仇人，跟我前世没有关系的。” *坏坏的笑*

“耶，情人就没有，仇人就这样多。很不公平喽，我二哥和弟弟都有女儿。” *抱怨*

“因为他们比你好看。”

“…”

“你为什么对我这么好？” *讽刺*

老婆仔很开心的笑。

有时候真的不明白她到底看中我什么？ -_-

Some time between the making of the last plane shown in part 2 of this series and August 2012, wifey and I decided to mix all the LEGO pieces from all the sets the children have together, and keep them in containers based on their colour.

No longer being constrained by the pieces of a single set, the freedom to create suddenly has a larger rein. Basically, a lot more stuff can be done, and done nicer, with the collective pieces from all the sets. ^_^

So in late August 2012, I made a few fighter jets, colour themed. All in the name of teaching my kids about creativity of course, definitely not because I was indulging the kid in me. No sir. =P

So behold, the white fighter jet!

The red fighter jet!

And the yellow jet!

All the jets had guns and carried two missles as their payload. ^_^

While the kids probably learned nothing about creativity, they played with the jets rather happily. In order to let myself play more show more examples of creativity, I created anti-air tanks to go with the fighter jets.

Well, they were really just wheeled vehicles but I called them tanks, sounds nicer. =P

The blue tank carried anti-air missles!

The green tank carried a huge laser canon and a large calibre gun!

The orange tank had many guns, many!

 Yes, the weaponary on the tanks could swivel and tilt. ^_^

Needless to say, a mock war happened, the kids being the generals of opposing forces. As for me, well, I was the one they came running when they broke something.

So much for creativity lesson...

the heck with creativity, just let me play with them!

Teaser for next in the series: robots!

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
