I just got my finger bandaged up. Went to see a doctor today and he said there is a slim chance that there might be a fracture.

I might have to go for a X-ray on Saturday/Monday depending on how long my finger takes to recover.

Thus, I can't go for class camp :( Excused from all physical activity for 10 days, which includes next Monday and Tuesday.

Damn

I SCREWED MY FINGER TODAY!!!

Evidence below:

The pics seriously makes it look better than it actually is. I can't even bend this finger now. Typing with 9 fingers rocks until I forget to not use the screwed finger.

Then ouch.

I am extremely poor now...

Nikkor AF 105mm f/2.8 Micro

I FINALLY GOT A NEW LENS!


The Nikkor AF 105mm f/2.8 Micro is basically one of the best macro lenses that you can get on the market now. Granted that this is the older version (Nikon came out with the VR version in 2006), I must say that this is a worthwhile investment.

Another gripe I have is that it cannot AF with my D40x but given the fact that I might upgrade my camera body in the near future, I don't think this is much of a problem. After all, it's better to MF for macro shots anyway and for scenery, I'll just change to my kit lens :)

It all works out!

Pictures later, I still haven't found the time to play around and my camera's battery is being charged.

I have decided to learn two pieces:

Fantasie Impromptu - Chopin
La Campanella - Paganini, arranged by Lizst

I'm planning to master the impromptu and basically just survive La Campanella.

Wish me luck.

A Whole New World

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

JC life is a whole new world to me. I'm gonna go along for the ride and see where it takes me. Perhaps to a whole new, wondrous place.

April 1st

Zhaoyang got his "first white slip today" :P

Vote Fong!

Pranks got pulled, but nothing major. I guess that we all aren't in the mood for doing anything radical anyway.
