This is a post that I have been really excited about. Although there weren't much of a remarkable landscape or view taken, but I'm glad to declare that I have reached one of the many checkpoints in my life; Slight adulthood. As much as I used to miss the comfort of being a student, I think I have gotten over the phase where I constantly look back.

Well I mean, could you spot the word relief written all over my face?
I would say that this roll of film has been pretty plain because I have not taken out my camera to places in ages. Hence, most of my scenic shots comprised of those from my backyard garden and some even, taken from the inside of my house of my garden outside. Finally, my camera has seen some light and the three shots beneath were taken while my mum, sister and I went for the Tree Top Walk.
I drew this in June 2014 during my study break. No, not a break from studying, but a break to study. It was a time where I felt most lonely, something which I knew that I should not be tripped over because I understood the notion that people ultimately exist as singles. I guess it got a little too quiet for me to handle. Basically, the body of the character is a tomb stone which represents death but yet, it was alive with the living face above. The scribbles emerging from its head depicted how much was on my mind back then. A tad too much.
The remote control buttons that appeared on the tomb stone? I just wished I had more control over my life and specifically, time.
If you are wondering where you can develop your films in Singapore, I do mine at Triple D Lab, located in Burlington Sqaure, Bugis. I assumed that the price promotion I enjoyed 2 years ago for lomography members still existed but only to find out from the owner that these forums had long died out. It was disappointing news and my only wish is that the lab does not cease operation.
I am eager to take on my camera to future adventures and I promise not take any more pictures of my garden for I will overcome my laziness!!
To end it off, remember that you don't need a new year to start afresh! Change begins from the day you decide to make a difference to your life.
