Yesterday I went on an impromptu outing with my friend to the "Cats of the world" exhibition at The Arts House at Raffles. The 'exhibition' consisted of just two walls of pictures at the entrance. The pictures were all taken by Singaporeans located in Singapore or abroad. There were a few pictures I liked, like those taken at East Coast Park. The pics at the park turned out beautifully, even though East Coast Park's beaches are like dirty, and messy. And I didn't know cats roamed at the beach? There was also one really beautiful cat picture, one taken in a garden, with a black cat (the pic is in my friend's camera). It made me appreciate a black cat's sleek coat and elegance. I must admit, I have a prejudice against the 'ugly duckling'-black cat. Give me a white cat anytime, but, I now realize there's beauty to be seen when your mind is open to it.
And, there was one pic taken by someone my friend knew!! She said picture submissions were actually open to the public, and she said she DID told me about it, but apparently, I don't know what I was doing at that time, because I totally DID NOT KNOW, if not i'd have sent in a dozen cat pictures already!
Anyway, we took some pictures at Raffles, but I had a hard time setting my camera's configurations in the harsh sunlight. (Check out our Cat shirts :D) I better learn how to utilize my camera functions properly before I set off to Korea in less than a week's time. Also, I better do a crash revision in my Korean (and German!) cuz the two times we asked passers-by to take our pics, surprisesurpise, they couldn't speak English (much to my chatty friend's detriment, who tried to chat them up and much to my amusement when they couldn't say much) but only the languages i kinda-sorta knew.
I seriously don't know how to make my pictures clearer in the kind of environment I was faced with yesterday. I was messing around with the 'exposure' and 'ISO' options, but my pictures still aren't the better.
And in other random info, check out the online dance showdown between popstar Miley Cyrus & Co. vs ACDC (whoever they are. They're not the old-school rock band I presume)
It started with ACDC challenging Miley & Mandy with their killer dance moves:
And M & M retalitated:
It's all good fun, and pretty cool stuff. What with ACDC's freestyle dance moves and M & M's slick chereographed Youtube music video (I have always loved the editing work of M & M. They're pretty creative girls).
Apparently, the big danceoff finale is gonna be on June 10th, 7pm PST on Youtube. Stay tuned.
Lindsay Lohan loves Miley! I think their voices are so similar. But nobody can guffaw like Miley can, know what I mean?
