Hello. Omg, can't believe my last journal entry was in January :o Anyway, school has been killing me :( I tell you personally, schooling in Singapore can be a very stressful experience. And this year (junior college 2) is my toughest year so far. I think it'll be the toughest, because I've heard from many people uni won't be as hard and stressful. Well at least to uni will be one of the motivations to keep me working hard for the A level. Another motivation will be the 6 month holiday :D

Sorry for the apparent lack of updates :( Finding time for photography is hard! And.. I still miss my muse :( I can't seem to find a new one yet...

Anyway, I'll be heading to Washington DC then to New York in 2 weeks time for Global Youth Leaders Conference. I guess there'll be lots of photo opportunities there. Besides the expected tourist pictures that I'll be taking, I'm hoping to take pictures that are rather not that conventional (like tourist pictures haha). Hopefully. Fingers crossed.

Wish me luck for the tough months ahead :) I'll update again when I have the time.

To my watchers, thank you for your great patience! :hug: :blowkiss: I really appreciate your never ending support :D

Cheers, Olivia :heart:

Hello :) So school term has started once again. I went Hong Kong and some parts of China during the November- December holiday. It was quite okay. A holiday is always good after a long period of school.

I realised that in 2006 I only submitted little number of works. I'm really sorry if you're feeling frustrated by my lack of submission or updates. Despite still occasionally taking pictures, I guess I'm increasing imposing higher standard to my work. I'm trying to go more 'unconventional' in some sense. Sometimes I feel bored looking at pictures which are very common. I don't know. Like although they're nice (frankly), but somehow I'm not so amazed as much as I used to in the past.

Maybe this is a sign of something for me. Change of direction for Photography? School really gives you headache and restricts your freedom with time. Sigh.

Anyway, on a happier note, I'm going for Muse concert next Tuesday :joy: Hopefully it'll be as good as I expect to be the least.

Lots of love and take care, Olivia

Hey! At last my exams for the year are over! :dance: So hopefully I can now spend my time on other things (besides doing homework) such as watching more movies.. and taking photos! I'm leaving for Hong Kong in 2 days time. May the days there be blessed with good weather! :) Can't wait.

Anyway, I have some conceptual ideas that i'd like to carry out. But so far I found no one that are suitable for the concepts yet (or they're just too shy to be photographed). So let me think about this...

Hope you're doing well.

Cheers :)

Hello :) So final year exams is three weeks away, which means that freedom is three weeks away as well :D I have been really busy revising my school work. Junior College (which is equivalent to high school I think) life really sucks :( I miss secondary school years (middle school?). The only reason why I go to JC is because I want to go to University. Haha. So, it's more sort of a transitional period.

I'm hoping to do photography again once the exam is over. Bought a prop for a conceptual photo which I would be doing after exam :D Hmm.. I'm still searching for another muse :confused: Still haven't found a right one so far.

I'm using Firefox now :D Serving DevArt with firefox is a so much better experience than Internet Explorer. Haha, bye bye IE.

Hope you'll understand my absence from DevArt from time to time. I promise I'll be fully back after the exam. Really sorry about this.

A great thank you to my watchers for the wondeful support always :D :hug:

Until then, cheers :heart:

PS I love these pictures

Heya! Sorry for the late update. Have been really busy with school. Ehm, I'm glad that the one week holiday will start next week. Gah, exams are coming fast. I hate Junior College life :(

I did a potrait shot recently with my classmate, her being the model. I'll see if I'll upload the photo. Still thinking whether I should. I'll definitely do another photo shooting in that place again. Oh, and I learnt that fashion shoot is a nightmare :s must keep changing costumes haha. I guess it'll be some time before I do another fashion shoot.

Anyway, enjoy the thumbs below. Hope you'll have a great week :)

Cheers, Olivia :heart:

PS You know I wonder what if the author of Sailor Moon, a Japanese anime, knows if Pluto will no longer be part of a solar system in the future. Will there still be Sailor Pluto? :D
