~~~~~Photography Outing!!~~~~~~

FINALLY EXAMS ARE OVER!! It ended not too long ago, 4 days ago to be exact... After all that stress from tons of projects and studying for tests and exams, finally the holidays are here...

This afternoon, I met up with Lester to go for our photography outing at Marina Barrage... We met up at City Hall and we decided to have our lunch at Marina Square before making our way to Marina Bay...

When we arrived at Marina Bay MRT Station, we still had to wait for a shuttle bus to take us to Marina Barrage... We were blown away with the beautiful skyline landscapes when we entered in... The atmosphere was peaceful and a place to explore your creativeness... It was the time to take out our DSLR cameras and start shooting... To families, big groups of friends and couples or even if you just want to spend a time alone to yourself, this is a great place just to having a relaxing time... Good place to have picnics and just enjoy the view...

We stayed for about 2 to 3 hours before making our way back to Marina Bay MRT Station... Unfortunately for us, the last shuttle bus was at 7:15pm and we just missed it... So we walked all the way back to the MRT Station... We almost got lost on the way as we took a right to the ECP instead of just walking straight... Finally, we were so relieved that we found our way back to the MRT Station...

We then made our way back to Marina Square to have our dinner at Subway... Home was after that...

Well, it was a very good experience going there and I wouldn't mind going there again just to take photographs... Thanks Lester for introducing such a great photography spot... To all, God bless and take care... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...

~~~~~HEY MONDAY!! FALL OUT BOY!!~~~~~

WOOOOOOOOOOOW!! I just came from the most rocking concert ever yet for this year... The band that opened up for Fall Out Boy was, Hey Monday... They were awesome!! The lead singer, Cassadee Pope, had the sweetest rocking voice I ever heard at any live concert... She was also sweet and cute rock chick...

The mosh pit was crazy... Everyone started pushing left to right when Hey Monday was performing... As for Fall Out Boy, the crowd was even more hyped up and started moshing even more than before... I hope that those who went, Caylynn, Lester, Jeremy and his two church friends, enjoyed the concert as much as I did...

Well, enough said... Videos will show what was going on throughout the concert... Apologies if any of you feel giddy when watching it as from where I was standing; I couldn't film a steady video... There was however, a few steady shots that I managed to capture and it's at my Facebook... This is the album link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=62002&id=584418080&l=2e4c6...

~~~~~STEAMBOAT OUTING!!~~~~~

FINALLY!! This afternoon we sat for our last test paper and it's the start of our study break before exams... My friends and I decided to go for a movie and to have a steamboat dinner to end off the day and start off our study break... We watched the love comedy, "Love Matters"... Somehow I felt that the plot is kind of common... Blackmailing, playing around with different girls and family problems... No doubt, it was funny but I guess it could have been better...

After the movie, we made our way to Bugis to have our steamboat dinner... We decided to take a cab there as it was already 10pm... If we took the MRT, we would only reach there around 11pm... We split cab and made our way there from AMK Hub...

When we reached our destination, we were so hungry that we took many stacks of varieties of food and cooked it... We ate from 10:30pm, all the way to 12am... I took the MRT back with Kenji and Thong Poh... I only reached back home just now at 12:30am...

Well, that's about it... After taking so many photos today, it made me realised that days like these would conjure up good and sweet memories... Hope that all of you, Ying Yi, Michelle, Priscilla, Kenji, Thong Poh and Wei Ming had as much fun as I did... To all readers, God bless and take care... This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...
