the day before youth day. Wowee.
Also 2 days before physics, history and history again.The strangest occurence greeted me this morning as i traversed through the crowd of 9am church goers. It was my first time back to CCMC in awhile, and i was I was hoping to meet some of my old friends before heading up to the chapel. Instead, i bumped into my dad's friends who i used to play tennis with. One of the ladies says,
"Hey, its good to see you. Do you remember me?"
"Yeah, we used to play tennis right?"
and I think to myself, "Has it been that long?"
then she says, "Can you remember me? You're better already.............i heard you had AMNESIA, got into an accident on the tennis court." And she looks at me, trying to detect signs of recognition from my face.
"Eh? no la..."
and her husband comes up and says "Oh not you ah? must be another Hans..."
Church people relations.
How strange.
I then proceed to meet Mrs fanny tan's sister, who was from the tennis group as well. At least she didnt think i had amnesia and was smiley as usual.
I have thus proved Serg right, by participating in mid sunday lady's tennis social.
Finally, when i came home and started on "optics" revision for physics, i felt particularly moved to play with my camera and the biggest baddest lens in my dry box with the widest aperture and the fastest shutter speed. Apparently inefficient drawings of ray diagrams and reading about spherical and colour aberrations for two hours had left my hands and eyes itching for the real thing. Drawing those stunted inverted dotted arrows with the multiple construction lines for telescopes just didn't cut it. But i must admit that I was really surprised that there was some intrinsic connection within me between what i was studying and an appreciation for the mighty (or not so mighty sigma) 70-200mm f2.8 with 18 glass elements.
ok cut the geek talk. I am no where near the nirvana of analyzing graphs, constructing my own filters, and understanding chemical properties of flim and dark rooms. Although I wish did, because I would be darn creative and probably really good at physics. Also i was reading a very informative and historical Nat Geo book, where they documented how the first undersea photo with flash was taken. Apparently this 1926 photographer exploded some volatile charge of magnesium flash powder to take some greotesque looking brown hogfish 15 feet underwater. Almost got him and his partner burnt i think.
oh well. The nice thing is that i think i'll pick it up with experience, and my true appreciation for physics would only come when i'm 50 and can tell all the young punk photographers how i used to make my own filters with cellophane and how i gradiented it and removed the vigenetting.All this because i had no money:P hahaha yeah right, i just threw in random terms, with hardly any semblance of connection between them.
So if you've read to this point,I have no idea why you did, because the above was some very misguided and inaccurate nerd talk, the only kind of nerd talk that im capable of, thus furthering the start of my peculiar morning.
