I made a realisation that no ONE person can possibly know everything about you. Not even if this person's your wife. Them knowing everything about you doesn't mean it's a good thing. Sometimes, in fact, it can be damaging to a relationship.

On another note, I went down to Sultan to try to snap a few shots around. Man, did I get more than I bargained for cos last night totally rocks!! I bumped into one of the dudes I had helped for a shoot. Funny thing was, I knew he worked there but I didn't really expect to see him there. He was darn friendly and accomodating cos by the end of the night, I had 2 glasses of vodka redbull, which weren't those diluted shit, on the house. AND, i got in free. But all these were secondary cos I managed to go around the place snappin pics for them. Which Fai (the nice dude) had told me that I should charge them for it. I thot of it as a good training ground for me. BUt hey, according to him, he says I know what I'm doing and I'm good at it. I'm like... hmm.... If I get paid, good lor, if I dun, it's good opport cos I don't think i'm that good yet. With each event is an opportunity for me practice. But he seemed to insist to talk to the guy who had approached me to snap for them to ask for payment. Hey, i'm not gonna object if people offer me cash man. It's not like I'm not doing a decent job but just feel that I could be much better. But I guess at one point, I have to break out of the 'i'm learning stage' and start going at it more professionally. And speakin of which, I really need a name card cos dang it, got asked for it.

Anyway, it was pretty cool walking around, snappin pics of people without worrying that you ain't authorised to do so cos I WAS. It was fun. But freakin helluva difficult shooting in pubs man. FARKIN dark, i can't see what's in the lens sometimes. Thankfully, i had enuff sensiblity to bring a torch light in case. Stil trying to let the flash bit be more instinctive for me. And no joke trying to squeeze around wif the camera. AND... think i had enuff cigarette smoke to smoke 2 joints. Even then, I think I'm underestimating.

And least I can look back at the pics and see who's really chio and who's not. K, a bit unpro and superficial but what the hey :p

Anyway, it was a fun night. Only stressful thing was gettin home safe. But I liked it at the end of the night. It was a very fulfilling night. :)
