geek club!


went out today to meet jenny, alex's friend from higher secondary school. met her briefly only though, she was to give a talk here in Trondheim. she was nice enough, was more nervous about giving a talk for the first time XD

then later went out to meet joco, who brought along his friend paul, who called out his gf to bring his camera XD. we were the geeky camera club, going out just to take pics. 2 dslrs and 2 digital superzooms.. the results were pretty nice, and i'll chuck a few here to show the great quality :)


thats joco, while he was looking for pics to take...

thats alex, we were trying out his idea of taking pics through the rusy thingers by the sea

a seagull...

lighthouse and a seagull...

the end :)

Photos

Time for pics, finally!

i shall try not to be so lazy this round, and upload pics frequently (enough) . First two pics are taken with my Sony Cybershot W80, the cam with the wonderful macro function.
i think these flowers look really pretty and cute too XD before they blossom, they look like hearts... or perhaps a creature from Spore... the right of the pic, you can se what it looks lke when it blooms i guess
This pic is just pretty X)

Next two pics are from alex's cam... we went down by the river and took some pictures while out on a walk... then some norwegian oldish lady thought we were tourist and offered to help us take pics XD nice enough
and mr sneaky took pics of me while i was taking pics of other stuff...
These last few shots are taken by a dslr cam, the sonyA100. very nice cam, can really tell the quality difference. the shots were taken with a tamron beercan lense,and i'm too lazy to blab the specs. XD

SO POUTY LOOKING RIGHT?
This magpie was going crazy in a puddle of water on the road... good thing for the beercan lense, which has a pretty decent zoom, since these birds are REALLY shy of humans.
nothing like a good facewash in a roadside puddle eh?
lastly, this pic was taken with max zoom of the beercan lens ( which btw, isnt a macro lens ) from about 2m away maybe? i'm actually quite impressed with the clarity :D this bee was up a tree...

i'll be going out to MIEN TRUNG today! ( for those who forgot, its the place where they save food for the gods. *nod* ) and more food news: i ate da LOVBIFF <3>

BACK IN TRONDHEIM!

Once again, this blog is active now that i'm out of singapore and back in norway! i had a pretty okay flight, with BEEF for dinner. and NICE BEEF too. a bit small portion though, but just right to finish up the rice that came with it. basically it was soft beef slices in some nice sauce.

ahhh X)

on the plane, i sat next to two oldish men from scotland. i guess they're in their 50s, from the grey hair, and the age of their kids they told me abit about. :) they were fun crappy people, made the trip shorter on the plane XD they've been colleagues for 18 years, which i thought was REALLY alot XD anyway, one of them was trying to sleep on his friend's shoulder, saying 'what are friends for?', while the other was being all get-away-from-me-EW

then later , while i was intensely watching Memoirs of a Geisha ( pretty good movie, i was hoping for more of the fan dance) , one of them interrupted going 'no more tv, bedtime for you' while pointing at his watch XD. har deeee har.. i watched 3 movies on the plane in total. Hitch and The Dutchess being the other two. The Dutchess was a pretty entertaining movie enough at least, not much brain involved, and something i doubt men will enjoy. or kas . hahaha

i got chocolate on the plane at least, one of them brought a pack. telling me to just help myself to it... hmm what else... oh right, i had some difficulty falling asleep, pretty much as usual. my legs were being irritating, protesting that they wanted to have space and be stretched. and the guy next to me offered to let me put my legs on his table..............................WAHAHA. it was nice, but something i would never do i think XD. it was funny at least.

the wait in amsterdam is boring as usual, i actually went to get re-print my boarding pass out of boredom, and i think i'll do so in the future as well. why? cuz then you get to pick the seats after everyone else has gotten them. and i picked a row with 3 empty seats. bad part? some *beep*nut came to sit with his friend opposite of my row. so i had ONLY two seats to myself :(

the sandwiches served were really nice this time, smoked chicken and cheese sandwiches. none of that icky goat cheese stuff either. but i felt a LITTLE discriminated by the stewardesses. well, at least with one of them. the first one forgot my request of a coke till i reminded her. the second one forgot it totally. and she gives the guys near me TWO cookies, and i only get ONE. i like those caramel cookies!!

oh well.

alex met me at the airport, and we took a bus back home. i realised i forgot my housekeys -.-
we got a new shower head here this time :D a tropical shower head! YAAAAY . and he's about to cook me bacon and eggs. ( joy X 2) i have tropicana orange juice ( joy X 3)

mmm what else.. unloading all the stuff i bought for him and us ( mainly the two jigsaw puzzles and the air purifier thing) , and the stuff for the friday queens ( in singapore, i got the Indians, and here i got the friday queens! waahahah ), my bag will have much more space now i think XD.

ok la, off to enjoy my chips while waiting for breakfast X)

pics

i managed to get a photo of lightning! just that i flinched quite badly thus such a blurry pic -.-

made this for my clay shop , www.varcoda.weebly.com . hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil! now i wonder what happened to DO no evil.

This is my proudest work i think. i really enjoy making this very much, so there's definately more such cakes coming soon!

clay mania


i'm into some clay making frenzy, which produces pretty good results. been using polymer clay, which is very hard when baked but daammmnnn its expensive! (at least, when compared to other types of clay)

anyway, i made a little website which i might advertise out, i'm not sure yet. ( i'm kinda abit lazy to make too much stuff. but i figured i'd keep it to a circle of friends and such, like if they wanna buy for friends, or if their friends wanna buy etc etc so payment is easier. cuz i dont like paypal. it doesnt transfer cash to my bank account :p. worse still, they take quite a lot of cash for a 'wrong transaction', so screw em.

the website which is still under construction is www.varcoda.weebly.com

i think.

meantime, i'll post a few pics of my work here, and curse that penguin at the start of this post because everyone seems to love the penguin, saying its so cute. my uncle has asked for one. my mom has asked for one. my ex colleague has asked for one. i'm almost afraid to show it to others now >_>

i'm stuck on making cute little onigiri XD made this one for myself. cute right!

made this sweet looking one for anna, which is more or less a copy of what i found online that made me go all nuts about cute looking onigiri.
made this panda for grace, since she likes pandas. my mom likes this second to the penguin. XD

lastly, my miniature roses! the smallest i've made measures 0.7cm, and i made some earrings out of it.

i have more stuff, but i'll update on the website instead :p

This one i like cuz its actually just reflections in an extremely calm pond. i'm amazed by the clarity!

I'M A SUCKER FOR PURPLE AND DROPLETS!
