Holy balls long time

Damn posting this once a year! New year new me right? So I have a couple of songs I really wanna leave down so that in the future I can experience this again! As usual they will be at the end.

So since June last year, I have turned 21. No big change there. Started to develop a love for photography, especially portraits and landscapes. Seeing all the people doing vlogs and photography really make me wish I picked this up earlier and actually got good at it then maybe I can do that as a side thing to uni. That would make me much more organised I think, however, I suck at it. Seeing that I have been living here in Adelaide for the last 13 years, I really do not thing there is much interesting things here. Having an interesting subject is so important in photography. So at the moment, I am waiting for Canon to release an updated 6D, either that or I will probably get a second hand 5D mark III. Why Canon? Cos that red ring. Honestly, I think the ergonomics on the Nikon is better but that maybe because I have really only ever shot Nikon, A change is always good, just like phones, I used android for a bit and now I've been using iOS for a bit. Next might be a Windows phone, but right now Windows really isn't making a big improvement so I may just go back to android after the iPhone 5s. I have been trying to save up some money through a part time and also the internship that I got at ElectraNet. Unfortunately I keep thinking to myself, it will be a while before I buy a camera so I keep spending my money! Once tax return comes, it should be time to buy a camera, all the new ones for this year will be released then due to Olympics. Most likely going to be buying a second hand full frame.

So I don't know how often people question their relationships, there was a period of around a week that I really questioned mine. Due to her parents being really restrictive and naggy. However, I never once considered separating from her. That's weird, right? I think we have gotten to the point that the only way we will break up is if one of us as an affair. Which is highly unlikely. So right now, my parents just left on a holiday for one and a half months, soon her family will also be going on a holiday. BUT unfortunately the nature of her parents is that they will most likely be calling their house phone every day. How to beat that? Well I shall soon be researching how to redirect that phone call to her mobile. That way it will solve many problems =]

Back to photography, I think I have been an asshole lately to her. Why? Because I have been watching a lot of videos on portraits and the model is always.. well a model. So I have been pushing Li Yen to lose weight, even though I know she has been exercising. Sorry! I will stop that now!

Everytime I write a blog, it is because I hear a new song that makes me feel a bit lonely I guess. Also the fact that I can have it blasting, usually in my superb headphones but since my whole house is empty I moved my computer upstairs and I can turn it up and have the bass pumping. This blog is all over the place! No structure what so ever! Usually I will start from where I left off, but this time I think it has been just too long since the last blog.

So Li Yen and I are now in our 6th year together, and I never thought that I would be dating someone for so long before getting married. Everytime I hear someone having dated for 10 years before getting married, I always think it's so weird. BUT usually that is because those people are already older eg. 30. What is my relationship plan? Graduate uni at 22, work for a few years and save up money for house and holiday and of course that ring right? Get married at around 24-26 depending on how our finance is. Sure, I agree 24 sounds a little young seeing as Li Yen will be 23, but I think that if we are doing good/great financially I do not see the problem. Definitely start a family before 30, ideally around 27/28 after having gone on a couple big holidays.

Jobs. Currently I'm working on weekends at a coffee shop at Burnside village and it is pretty shit. Planning to look for a job closer to home. Engineering job wise, I did an internship at ElectraNet and that went pretty well, also they have decided to sponsor a final year project which I am apart of. So if I do good and ElectraNet has space for graduates then I think I already have my foot in the door. However, being an introvert, my supervisor says that I am too quiet. I guess it's not a good thing in Australia where everyone is brought up to be so outgoing. Mom thought that I was great, because I would just shut up and do my work, which is what I also thought. One thing I'm scared of is that if I do get a job at ElectraNet, I'll be stuck in Adelaide for too long. I always say that Adelaide is a nice place to settle down and start a family, but after getting into photography. Adelaide sucks. I wonder if I would be brave enough to go overseas to Canada or somewhere else to work. Right now in my brainstorming time I am definitely ballsy enough. But with balls like these can a plane really take off?

So I have also started exercising to get a little fitter, unfortunately I haven't exercised for the past week. Reasons? Too busy getting back into gaming a lot and after an incident at the park where I exercised. That incident included my killing 4 mosquitoes and still having another 5 flying around me. That REALLY put me off going to the park to exercise. Also I went to costco for the last time and bought snacks that I really shouldn't have. I can already see the stomach coming back, the bit that took me a month to lose has taken 1 week to come back. That sucks.

So if successfully redirect the phone calls from Li Yen's house to her phone, we maybe able to go away for a weekend. Interstate or something. However, not sure how to deal with the unlikely chance that her aunt comes over to have a quick check on how she is going. With both of us having families with the "no sex before marriage" is tough. There is no such thing as going on holiday with just the two of us. Though there is always going with friends then splitting for a few days. But then if we do go with friends it will most likely be really close friends, which means we won't be splitting up not that I really mind but it's totally different from having a holiday with just your other half right?

Even though I'm living alone, I still have yet to cook for myself, why? Because mom cooked a shitload of food before leaving even though I told her she didn't need to. Originally I was looking forward to this experience to be my way to learn how to cook, but I didn't mind that she cooked for me. But a big part of the reason of why she cooked, is so that she can brag to her friends about it, and also to use that against me. Even though I told her she didn't need to. Just because her friend's family cooked a shitload of food for her kids doesn't mean she has to do the same just to try to be on the same level. But at the same time I'm glad that I always know there is food in the freezer for the times that I don't want to cook or didn't go grocery shopping. I'm guessing in a couple of weeks I will be cooking a couple of meals for myself, after getting used to going back to uni. My body has certainly started to switch to uni mode. During my internship, I would wake up at 7:30 automatically. However right now, I'd wake up occasionally early, but today I slept til 12. Strong indication that I am back to my normal self! This is probably the worst trait for an aspiring landscape photographer. Since landscape photographers really only have 4 hours a day to shoot, 2 hours after sunrise and 2 hours before sunset. This doesn't include star trails.

Alright that's where I will leave it for now, I will try to cut down on gaming. Then I will have a bit more time to exercise and also motivate myself to go out and shoot some photos and of course to blog. Whether it be street photography or landscape or portraits. So there are weekly competitions with a theme to shoot, I will try to get myself out there in the vast world to complete those themes. Unfortunately this week's theme is film photography which I obviously cannot do.

Last night posts!

It's been a while eh? About 3 months, so how much did I get done in that 3 months you ask? Let's start in March. We finally handed over Michel's back to HQ, so now I am jobless and need to write a resume and get a job. It should be easy to get one since I know how to make coffee.

Li Yen's birthday came around, we went out with high school and uni friends for dinner a drinks. Also had a nice dinner at her house another night to celebrate with her family.

I think this picture looks weird, we are so far apart lel definitely not reflecting reality xD

One of the shirts that was her present! SIIUUSIII

So I got myself a pair of new kicks to celebrate unemployment lel

My parents finally had the liberty to go overseas back to Hong Kong together since there no more shop to look after, they went back to celebrate grandpa's brithday or grandpa&grandma's anniversary I forgot but it was nice for them to finally get away from Adelaide xD

Taking them to the airport at 6am, would be better if I had white-ish blue lights though

So this is one of the only dishes I know how to cook, so I whipped it up multiple times while my parents were away since no one was there to cook for me for a decently long time and I'm not willing to live off instant noodles for the whole time lel.. I thought there was something wrong with the meat that I bought since it wasn't as soft as when dad made it, but I assumed it was that I overcooked the meat. Then I realised, I used beef instead of pork. Idiot.

Dandan noodles!

So since my memory is pretty bad, I rely on photos to remember what I did during that time, and I didn't have much photos in my collection that I think need to be talked about here except that we had a double date with my brother and his girlfriend at St Louis for some nice dessert. I regret not taking more photos of stuff.. Can't hurt to snap a couple more pictures right?

May came around the corner and with that came my sister's wedding! So I've never considered my sister as pretty, maybe because I see the way she looks when she is sick, when she talks to me with her mouth guard, etc. But on the day of the wedding I can certainly say she is pretty. I really thought it would be a drag to be at the wedding until 11pm since I've never been to one, but it was quite the opposite time flew by and it was already 10:30. It was nice to see the cousin's from Mom's side that came from Vegas and Sydney since I don't see them much. Safe to say, I am the shortest except for my sister xD Even my cousins that are 3 and 6 years younger than me are way taller :c Here comes the photos

 Isn't he adorable? He's at the age that I was when I attend his grandma's (Guma) wedding!

 Found this groom in my bathroom!

 Just before tea ceremony

 I CAUGHT THE MOMENT.. LIKE A BAUS

 Lol, the official photographer was mad that I stole my sister for quick photos, but I ain't even mad, it's my sister. The photographer can go suck a dick

 The ones soon to join the Wong family

 The ones to carry on the Wong family tree

 Well someone is tall..

 Dinner! But first, lemme take a selfie!

 Uncle Ian and Aunty Peilin and Andrew, the most immature and funny uncle I know. I think he's on par with Cowfu!

 Cowfu and Stephanie, well from this picture we can clearly see that Steph is yet to be taller than me xD

 Uncle Kevin hanging out with the youngsters!

Mark biugor! Want to be an awesome cousin? Ask him for lessons xD

Ever wondered how I would look if I had long smooth hair?

So while Mark was still here, we took Porpor, Aunty Amy, Mark and Mark's girlfriend to the wildlife park where they could feed and hold the aussie animals xD BAM Photos again

 Rocking the back seat with porpor!

 Midstop to get some dimsim, dat face doe

And that's May gone!

So in my wallet I have a really old photo that has been with me for almost 4 years now!

Damn son, we are going up to our 5th year together! Smashing all the achievements left right and centre!

So Li Yen was having a bad day at home, and I had some cash from selling some stuff (not my body).. So we went out for a date night! Stonegrill and ice cream! Didn't use the voucher for Movenpick though, since we didn't have enough space in our stomach for waffles and a shake

 Lookin extra pretty tonight!

 So happy, probs cos of STEEAAAAKKKKKK

lel testing out Movenpick, I didn't even realise this was the shop I bought the voucher for

Cowfu came back to Adelaide to upgrade our Ozone water thing, and we went out for dinner before Gonggong left for Hong Kong. Also brought Gonggong to Belgian Beer Cafe since he quite likes his beer!

So it's the end of my blog! Time for a list of good songs eh? Some EDM some trance and one dubstep. Really should give all of them a go!

Back to Uni

First things first.. Let's see what I've done during that summer break!

I did a nice car wash at home after finding this monster in there..

Hit the beach a couple of times, here's a couple of silhouette photos hehe

 Zyzz

 Hairflick

A friend came back from Canberra for holiday and invited us out to get some mussels at the Belgian Beer Cafe! Unfortunately I ordered the mustard one, and wasn't as good as the others'

 Mom finally decided to get Costco membership! Since my sister will be moving out soon, and my bro most likely won't go to Costco and dad would go with mom, so the second membership card goes to me! So I took Li Yen and her mom along XD Gotta be a good future son-in-law right?

Another friend came back to Adelaide but this time for good, and we went out to Chuck Wagon for some burgers =]

ANNNDDDDD IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY! Weeeeee, so this year we got some matching G-Shock watches =] Went out to grab some delicious coffee before dinner at Wasai, obviously us being us didn't even take photos of the food and just munched it all down.. Then went to do a nice productive activity a.k.a. washing the car!

 Homemade Ferrero Rochers!

So it's been a while since our 5 year lease on the shop has finished, but we kept doing this 3 month lease, and it's finally coming to an end. So we are taking everything that belongs to us away and then the shop is then managed be Michel's HQ.. Who needs ladders if you can stack tables right?

Caught up with uni friends one day before uni starts XD Went to Bounce INC! Honestly thought it was going be bad from the moment I walked in since there were 10 year olds EVERYWHERE! But turned out to be really fun! One of our friends won a ticket to snap city!

Doesn't look like I did a lot during the holidays eh? I ended up working at the shop everyday, I'm glad I did though. Saved up a decent amount, but now I will probably be jobless once the new boss comes along.

So it was my first day back to uni and I can already which subject I am going to fail due to the way the lecturer talks.

I have this thing for matching stuff with the bass drops haha.. Did a nice pudge hook the other day and made a video.. Then made a vid for the dunks at bounce with the first dunk matching with the drop.. Dat feel when you get it right..

Bounce

Pudgey

Anyways time to sleep nows.. 9am tomorrow! Fun day coming up!
