098: on today’s table #3: i found a smile on my plate

‘Why, hello there. Fancy seeing you amidst all these crumbs. Have you been hiding in there all this while?’

‘I’ve never quite understood the meaning of hiding. If by hiding, you mean eagerly anticipating for you to find me, then it’d be yes, I was hiding. If by hiding, you mean awaiting to see the clear skies;– for as you are well aware of, the grey tinge holds no mercy on my being, then it’d be yes, I was hiding. If by hiding, you mean to suddenly appear as of a vibrant spectrum upon the teardrops of the rain, then it’d be no, I was not hiding. I have always been here. And will always be here. You just have to find me.‘

097: this is my … date

How we typically start our day. Super jumpy and excited, with breakfast when we’re lucky.

More lounging around after late lunch, steering away from crowds, filling each other in on random “you-know-whaaat”s, and more often than not, information things I caught on teevee, or just plain ol’ b**tchin session.

Dessert’s always a great way to end, while we entertain ourselves with movie/television favourites on his laptop, or indulge in our latest obsession, the Lego Batman game, laughing ourselves silly.

096: i wonder where our time went

I think we spend too much time travelling. Too much time manouevring around road works, too much time being bumped aside by pushing aunties scrambling for train seats, and too much time walking on auto-pilot mode amidst hardworking crowds.

This came from the first roll of Jetjet, my Blackbird Fly, taken with Fuji Superia 200. I must say it was a very tricky first time, and I was so sure I’d return with a blank roll.

The most difficult part was loading the film, and we actually ended up tearing one end of the film! Later (and by that I mean many months on), the viewfinder became wonky, so some of the shots had a bottom-up angle. And finally,the rewinding knob turned out to be very tough, and I actually contemplated removing and rewinding the film manually, but the mister came to the rescue and all’s well.

For a first time, despite all of the mishaps, Jetjet did really well, I think. More to come in the next post!
