I’ll be chanting this every day until 28th November 2008, 1PM.  That’s when my results are supposed to be released.  If I pass this, I’ll have my weekends back.

Got to adjust my time back to normal time.  I’ve been sleeping at 7am these days as I was doing my assignment as well as studying for exam.

Anyway, this is a busy week with the Mac Discovery week as well as Andrew’s wedding dinner (bride’s side).  Wei Yih’s dinner is next week in Kuantan (bride’s side) and his marriage registration is two days after the dinner.  I’m still wondering if I should go to Kuantan or not…

I had my Law exam yesterday and like I said in my Twitter and Facebook status, don’t ask me how I did.  I don’t know.  During the exam, I thought I did okay but after the exam, my classmates told me that what I did was wrong.  I’m still convinced it’s right.  Confusion!

Anyway, I’m in the midst of doing my Project Management assignment.  The due date has already passed but we get one week automatic extension for “unforeseen circumstances”.  I’ve been exploiting this clause for every Project Management assignment but there are really unforeseen circumstances in my case, be it closing the magazine, back problems and this time, studying for the Law exam.

So I have to write 4,000 words (minimum) by Monday, which is about 1,500 words per day.  It’s already 6pm at the time of this entry and I’ve written 0 words.  To make things worse, I’m having a headache right now. 

Theoretically, this is my last assignment for my MBA course but technically, this statement is only true if I pass my Law subject and this assignment.  My results will be out by the 28th of this month.  Let’s hope I can get through this.

P.S. Eileen called me last night and told me that her grandmother passed away.  My deepest condolences to her family. 

I really shouldn’t be blogging right now.  I should be either studying, doing my assignment or get some sleep so that I have the energy to do my assignment and studies tomorrow!

So yeah, it’s that time of the semester again but this is a very crucial one.  My law exam is on Friday while the due date of my Project Management assignment has passed.  I still have until next Monday, the latest, to submit it.

This will hopefully be my last semester because if I pass this, I’ll get my masters. 

Wish me all the best, and luck!

The other day I called my good friend Chiewata to borrow his Nikon 50mm f1.8 and Nikon 18-200 f3.5-5.6 VR lens so that I can take some good portrait shots for Eileen’s graduation. My conversation with him was like this:

Me: Wei, can pinjam your 50mm and 18-200 ar?

Chiewata: I bring my whole bag lah, lazy to pack lah.

So we met at my office and he handed me his bag. It was DAMN heavy and I know I’m getting some serious stuff here. I went back to the office, opened the bag and I saw these:

Tamron SP 11-18 f/4.5-5.6 Di II

Nikon Nikkor AF 50mm f1.8

Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC Macro

Nikon Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR DX

Nikon Speedlite SB-600

Nikon MB-D80 Battery Grip

Nikon D80

He gave me his whole set! Including the DSLR. I knew he had a few lens but I didn’t know he practically had everything in his possession!

I wanted to bring everything to the convocation, two bodies and all the lens to the convocation so I can have the 50mm attached to one and the 18-200 to the other one so I don’t have to change lens all the time. I didn’t because there is only one flash gun.

So I took all the lens, leaving my 18-105mm at home and paired all the lens with my D90. It looked something like this:

Nikon D90 with Tamron SP 11-18 f/4.5-5.6 Di II, MB-D80 battery grip and SB-600 flashgun

A lot of people asked me if I was the official photographer because I’m carrying such a huge camera.  In fact, the official photographers only had a Canon 40D with battery grip and a flash gun as well as a 17-40mm L lens.  The only person there that had a better set up was this guy using an EOS 1D Mark II/III with a 70-200mm L lens.

I felt good.  The pictures turned out the way I wanted it.

Chiewata, if you are reading this, DO NOT EXPECT ME TO GIVE YOU BACK THE STUFF! heheheh…oklah, you can have the D80…I don’t need it…hehe…Oh yeah, you can have the remote control back also…can’t be used with my D90…hehe…
