i went to the cemetery last sunday on my own, yes, am alone. well, i think im quite daring actually, i mean, coming to think of it. haha, but anyway, i need to go there to snap photos for my assignment. whoa! another daring thing to do in cemeteries, what if you capture the 'wrong' thing instead? hahaha. anyway, i didnt thought much about all the spirits aspect, not when i got there. it was very quiet, no one was there, i entered the main gate alone and the minute i stepped in, i started chanting nmhrgk repeatedly in a very calm rhythm. more to sending my prayers to the deceased than chanting so that i wont be seeing unnecessary things in it, though part of me was thinking about it. anyway, later i heard some noise coming from far far away, i turned around and saw this couple visiting one of the tombstones. i felt better, at least i wasnt really alone at all, but then not long after that, they left. by that time, ive already familirize my feelings with the envinronment. so i start snapping photos, some were really nice tombstone, nicely decorated with flowers and unique design. some of it still have 'happy mother's day' card or flowers on their tomstone. there is one in particular, that has lots of flowers, very colorful and attracts lots of attention, and i read the gigantic card on it, with lots of messages from grandchildrens. back to the cemetery as a whole, it didnt look scary at all, i just felt the peace with me all the time. managed to get some nice angles of a particular tombstone. but i might be going back there again to get a nice shot, as after studying my photos, i realise there are a few things to improve.

speaking of which, im in need of models for my photography assignment. i need a less than a year asian baby girl and a grandma who age more than 75 years old. probably i will be visiting some orphanage home and old folks home one of these days.

my hands is getting rough these days. the whether is so dry and guess what ! winter is finally here, the chill is finally settling in. it's freezing cold this few days. i'll be freeze to death if im out with just a normal sweater or jacket (which is ok for weather like genting), thus ive got to wear real winter coat already. but sadly, i have only one thick coat. there is so much temptation to buy one more now. but another part of me wish to buy it in brisbane/gold coast, but that will be in end of june. too long, i got to get one here in melb. hehe
