Justin Ng: 23 December

Slept straight through several alarms. Thank god my maid woke me up or else I think I would be late again. Before I left, I was actually looking for my earphones. I was thinking of listening to some songs while waiting for Sabrina. By the time it was 10.20am, I still couldn't find it. So I just left the house without it. Turns out, she came earlier than me. We took U64 to OneUtama. In the bus, we exchanged gifts. I got her a reverse mount for her lens and she got me a snow globe and a hat, a claus hat. We watched Arthur's Christmas, it was a good movie. Thank god it was not one of those movies that are catered solely for kids. I didn't expect Arthur to be the next Santa.

We went straight to IPC right after the movie. It was a 10-minute-walk. The decorations were rather simple.I liked it but Sabrina did not. We had tea break at Ikea. I remember I use to eat the curry puffs there really often, about once a week. It was on my treat. The ice-cream there is no longer made by the staff. The new system is simple. At the counter, you will receive a token after you pay. You place the cone at the bottom of the machine and feed the token in to the machine. It does all the magic for you.

After our light meal, we went to Curve. The decorations there were superb. Got a new profile picture there, credits to Sabrina. We walked to Cineleisure after that. There was a huge-ass Christmas tree right in-front. We queued up for the free shuttle bus back to the station shortly after taking pictures of the tree. Even though today was fun and all, I was quite disappointed with the pictures I took with my 50mm. Pictures are just so much harder to take without IS. I had a hard time with composition while working with that fixed focal length for the whole day.

First attempt of taking a picture of the both of us

I like this!

Got a guy with a DSLR to take this shot for us with my camera.

Reverse mount on an 18-55, f16 1/120s

Tough luck ,eh?

Decos?

I wanted to get a reverse mount for my 18-135 but I fear that the neck would break under stress. I ended up buying a 50mm reverse mount along with a set of extension tubes (No electronics).
