I’m really happy with this one. Really! I never thought a doodle like whatever-it-was would turn out like this =)
The lil’ Blue birdie perched on a tree ;) awwww… =P (I’m getting excited so please don’t mind =P) It’s drawn on Mypaint, an open-source alternative to the big boys, on Ubuntu =)
Ahhh… feeling very inspired. Might cook up something today =) Till then…
PS: I know the leg is weird. There… I’ve just made it too obvious! =P my work here is done!! =P
Today’s post is a no blah-blah post =D These are some pictures which I found in my HD. I thought they got erased and lost forever. =) I had the habit of getting irritated and deleting my pictures thinking they’re not good enough o.O but then I happened to read some really inspirational biographies which changed my mind =) Anyway, I’m glad I still have some of them =)
My favourite place – the beach! =D This was one of the best days there, it was sunny but it was rainy o.O (taken using an extremely old canon ixus).
Random monsoon sighting ;)
My cousin bro Unni(oun-nee) =)
It’s me it’s me!! =P
The luckiest dog ever =( my parents love her more =( *sniff* me jelly ;)
Clicked on an 8 hour power-cut day during the monsoons. Was not that bad. *lies*
@.@ the only plant which cares to bloom in my garden!
Watashi no kasa!! =D
Yo!!
I have been extremely busy these days. Never been so busy since college. Well, like I said before, 2012 gives me good vibes(about my future) =P so I’m bound to be busy. Finally I decided to ditch engineering(without my parents knowledge) and pursue what truly makes me happy =D – This is not applicable if I get rejected from the college I’m applying, so looking at alternatives too… ahem!! I’m applying for an M.S in Digital Media Technology offered at Nanyang Tech. University, Singapore. The course has got some rave reviews and is supposed to be awesome. The applicant’s might be awesome-r still so had to work really hard on getting those precious letters of recommendation from my university professors and prepare my own little statement of purpose. *sigh*
I wrote my IELTS exam on 7th and the results will be out tomorrow. I did well in everything else except the speaking test :o I was never really good at extempore and I got a really stoooopid question :( –’Talk about your favorite nursery rhyme – what role did the person who taught you the rhyme play in your childhood? what do you like most about the rhyme?? why do you dislike most about the rhyme??‘ o.O I was like ‘whaaaa…???’ Irrespective of what my favorite rhyme was, the only rhyme that came to my mind was ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’. And instead of thinking about all those questions I thought about who composed the tune of the rhyme. I was almost sure it was Mozart, but then my time to cook up a good speech got over and I gave my extempore like this – ‘Umm… My favorite rhyme was Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I forgot the teacher who taught me, so she might’ve been a completely oblivious factor in my childhood. What I like about the rhyme is the fact that it’s easy to remember and why I dislike it is because every other rhyme I know has the same tune. err… well that’s all I have to say’. I had two minutes to speak, I finished it in 30 secs. Talk about being precise. This is why engineers should never give an IELTS test. :P hehe… but anyway, it’s a requirement so had to give. =)
So then after that hurdle got crashed on, I moved on to the next one – getting some super awesome letters of recommendation. After procrastinating like… forever, I went to college day before yesterday to get them. A journey which usually takes about 2hrs took 4, blame the traffic! Anyway, my professors were really sweet(awww…) and considerate to write me two very inspiring letters that day itself =) (power of the alumini, well they don’t care about the students otherwise). It was a truly nostalgic journey =)
This is my college.
Inside the college – just a glimpse =)
The shortcut path always taken to go to the nearby food stall… =P
Stayed there long enough to see my juniors and chat on and on and on… so really didn’t get time to get those shots which I had planned of getting :( blaahh… there is always a next time! =)
And so, after all those stressful nail biting days(not really) I went to the beach =D such a good stress buster =)
This is my ma’s hometown. Beautiful isn’t it??? This bridge was build by the British around the 1890′s. Still standing with zero maintenance o.O
Everybody comes down here in the evening.
Some people pass time fishing… well… they don’t usually get any and they’re always half asleep =P
And what visit to the beach is complete without a sunset??
Ahh… now I’m fully refreshed and ready for the next round of applications =) bring it on =P
PS: All pictures were taken on my LG Optimus Net 3mp camera. Used Vignette for capturing and editing =)
Glimpses from the last days of the season. Finally the rains and cyclones have receded for good(hopefully).
The fruit captured is Bilimbi, locally it’s called Pulinjikka = Poo-lin-jee-kya =D it’s very sour and when dried and pickled it’s just awesome!!! =D slurrrpp….!!! Spring is definitely here, I’m waiting for the next wave of fruits =D
The beginning of yet another year of hope.
Ahh… I just wanted to see beyond the horizons of those 365 stressful days and finally being on the right side of the new year brings waves of relief. Lots of thing to look forward to this year and I’m very excited(not) about them all. Actually, this will be my deciding year *horror* as to what I’ll become in the near future. *not looking excited at all*
Anyway, this is how I started my year. I got a new phone. FINALLY! It’s one of the cheapest android phones around – LG Optimus Net. One major flaw – bad camera(app). I don’t know how I managed to overlook the specs. I was very disappointed when I found out that the phone had a 3mp cam and the pre-loaded camera app made it look worse. Dumb app, it doesn’t auto-focus and somehow manages to crash :o (I have no idea why). But I was saved by an app from the store. It seems to work just fine and do more than just click pictures. Anyway, I’m happy =) and I love it… =D
Here are some of my first shots, some heavily edited =P
My very first shot =) was not that careful while taking this because of the excitement of experimentation ;) My garden is always my first testing ground =)
I love this picture. Some new plants that my mom planted, growing healthy =)
And then, I moved on to my next test subject, my sweet doggie. But even she got bored and tired after posing for me so much =( Look at her… grrr….
So, when I was out of things to click, I took out my bike. Got this 10 years ago for my b’day. Still as good as new =) Since I got it out I thought of going out to the beach, approx 2km away.
I was not in a hurry so I thought of taking the long way there – the highway way. It was very eerily lonely. It’s a highway leading to the beach… there are supposed to be speeding vehicles, happy bikers and a swarm of pedestrians, but there were none… o.O was I scared??? naaaaah =D (ok, a bit maybe).
When I finally reached there after overcoming a strong urge to go back home, they said NO PARKING! =( They allowed to park anything there a month ago x( I mean, it’s not a Lamborghini that I’m parking o.O but anyway, follow the rules and stay out of trouble ;)
It was almost dusk when I started walking in the beach. The light was fading fast and the entire beach was going dark, but I found some interesting patterns in the sand =) It was the only piece of land not stepped on at that moment in the entire beach.
When I finally reached the sea, there were already a billion people waiting there to get soaked.
I secretly wished I was the only person there and got to enjoy the sea all for myself. *sigh* I don’t like being selfish though =) but I don’t like just too many people either. Anyway, I had a great time and that’s what matters =)
I hope you had a great New Year’s day too =)
I wish you all a very happy journey around the sun yet again, filled with many seasons of emotions, adventures and good fun =) Happy New Year!!! =)
It’s just a day like any other day. Filled with rain and sunshine =)
It’s also the start of another season of mosquito bites :o So I dunno how happy I will be… *sigh*
