新相機主打*Superzoom*…
效果真的很好...
我現在能拍得更遠了...
不,應該是說*遠而清晰*...
近距離的效果,跟我的G12差不多...
G12是一台很棒的相機...
我對它的表現非常滿意...
可以說是無可挑剔...
至於買新相機的理由...
真的只有一個...
就是*長鏡頭*...
買G12時,我說給自己兩年時間存錢買dSLR…
事實上,這不到一年的時間,我已經存到足夠的錢了...
但我始終沒買數位單眼...
始終覺得,時機未到...
所以沒找到理由花近$3000買一台單眼相機(是的,我看上的model不是beginner dSLR)…
總之...
近幾個月來,我陸續有這樣的認知...
當然也把錢花在別的東西上了,比如aviary...
買得起一台dSLR,但買不起其他的lens or accessories又有甚麼用呢...
所以啊...
再讓dSLR等我幾年吧...
我遲早會買到的,但不是現在...
昨晚接到*S*的電話...
我:"兩隻狗同時被車撞到??"
她:"sorry不是,是一隻狗被兩輛車撞到"
我不太知道哪件事比較慘...
結果...
在我們前往*案發現場*的途中,得知狗已經死了,那個女人也把屍體帶回去埋了...
於是...
我們改變路線,去吃義大利餐(是*S*吃而已,我哪會吃甚麼義大利餐啊)...
義大利餐真的只是巧合...
我沒有故意期望牠死掉,更沒有想要牠連續被兩輛車撞到...
我們只是很豁達很往前看而已...
三天前,偶然發現我家的這盆花開得很美...
這是我第一次看見它同時開那麼多朵花...
如果是喜歡大自然,平時愛多看環境幾眼的人...
應該知道...
這麼嬌豔的大紫花,其實很多都長在大水溝裡...
那種很髒,泥土多污水多的水溝裡...
它也是走*出淤泥而不染*路線的花朵...
我和我媽去年在某個地方買花時...
她注意到旁邊的水溝長滿這些植物...
問店家可不可以給我們拔一點回家種...
這盆就是這樣來的...
後來到處去找*水缸*...
我們家花盆不少,但從來沒有種*水植物*的花盆...
四處看看,發覺要找到*無洞花盆*還需要點學問...
最終找到這個大圓盆和另一個小的無洞花盆...
我們把兩個都買回來了...
千萬不要說要來我家看這盆花,因為它們已經調謝了...
今年五月...
跟*A*去島上看世界...
走啊走的,被我發現這一片野生花海...
我那天差點興奮死...
為了近距離拍它...
本人我差點踩進池塘裡...
雖然知道不會死,但我就是怕水,而且這又是那種很泥的池塘(這樣形容有懂吧?)...
其實很多事物都是美那麼一瞬間而已(我也不知道自己為甚麼下這樣的結論)...
這是我的第一隻*襪子娃娃*...
我從來不知道汶萊有人會做*襪子娃娃*,直到昨天...
以前*小時候*看電視,都告訴自己*我有天一定要學做襪子娃娃*...
幾個星期前,我在Miri的Popular還在翻*襪子娃娃*的教學書籍...
當時在想,反正我*放假*,所以有閒情逸致學做*襪子娃娃*...
可是後來想一想,我這麼懶,等到我有心情有動力,還真不知道要等到哪一年...
而且那些書舊舊的,已經在那邊很多年了,我這麼多年來,每次去都會翻一翻,所以我沒有買下的慾望...
雖然我看起來不像是喜歡手工的人,更不像是會動手做東西的人...
但事實相反,本人我熱愛手工,要騙我的錢很容易,只要告訴我是手工製造的,我喜歡就會買(價錢就算很貴,只要付得起,我都會亂買)...
昨天在Rainforest Gallery,終於在汶萊發現了*襪子娃娃*的蹤跡...
本人我看了那攤位好幾個小時,每一隻都好喜歡,所以一直不知道該不該買,然後該買哪一隻...
等到人家收攤時,我終於買下了這隻黑黑不起眼的狗*Henry*…
我在那之前去晃了一圈,她們聽到我對這隻*Henry*感興趣,有點訝異...
她說它扁扁的...
大部分的*襪子娃娃*都是坐著的,*Henry*是少數趴著的...
因為大家都五顏六色的,我觀察了一整天,發覺大部分人還是喜歡鮮豔的東西,每個人走到攤位,都會摸那些很多顏色的*襪子娃娃*...
所以像*Henry*這種黑黑的傢伙,都被擺在旁邊,安靜地躺著...
除了*Henry*,我也摸摸它旁邊的小黑貓...
她說原來妳喜歡黑色...
當然,我也超喜歡那些五顏六色的傢伙,但我不可能買下全部(很貴好嗎)...
除了*Henry*,我的另一個選擇是一隻白褐色的馬(我到此刻還想著要領養這隻馬)...
很奇怪...
無論其他鮮豔的*襪子娃娃*怎麼吸引我的目光(尤其是那幾隻紫色的)...
我始終覺得*Henry*在角落呼喚我...
於是...
它勝出了,我領養了它...
拿到它的*出生卡片*時,我認真地讀著...
它的出生日期是Nov 15, 2011…
它也是天蠍座 !
"Hi my name is Henry. Please call me Enry. I know it’s different. I like it that way. Many people think that I am weird because I’m different. I love being different. Just because I do not know conventional styles and methods, didnt mean that I’m not good. It’s just different. Just because I love black colour does not make me a weirdo. I’m just true to myself. What fun would it be if everyone dress the same, do the same things and eat the same food. Being different is cool !”
哈哈哈哈...
讀完後,我的心笑了...
怎麼感覺跟我那麼像...
我開始相信*Henry*是為我而生的了...
我覺得大家都該領養獨一無二的*襪子娃娃*...
因為它們不吵不鬧,永遠都會乖乖聽你說話...
因為它們不會生病不用看獸醫,所以飼養起來很便宜很方便...
我好想領養第二隻喔...
這是我的床,一張我從來不睡的床...
這張床是它們的...
它們是我的寶貝,它們是很重要的(臭*Kenji*上星期溜進我房間,又偷咬我的*海盜狗*,差點又把我氣炸...這兩隻就是合不來,也不知為何)...
歡迎*Henry*加入這個大家庭...
兩天前,到海邊找朋友...
牠們竟上演一場*汶萊動物大遷徙*的戲碼...
這兩隻是母女,雖然很不像...
牠是獨行俠,這一胎只剩牠一隻,牠最怕人最獨立,好在海邊常常有人丟狗,所以狗朋友永遠不嫌少(這也算是種好?)...
這兩隻小狗比較皮,追來追去的...
這一群狗裡,牠與另外三隻兄弟是在海邊最久的,一個月大時就被丟在海邊,現在只剩下牠和哥哥(or弟弟)...
牠是唯一的男生,也就只有牠不敢玩水,丟臉死了(牠和妹妹(or姊姊)昨天被帶去結紮了)...
這傢伙真的很像水怪,很喜歡躺在水裡,設定目標後,突然暴衝...
結論是,水怪到陸地上也能活...
我對這狗媽媽有很特別的情感,總覺得我在哪裡見過牠,牠是最近被丟到海邊的,外加牠的四隻小狗(三隻已送養,只剩那只顏色很特別的女兒還在身邊)...
我不知道牠對以前的人還有沒有期待,只希望牠能幸福快樂地生活...
*******
Part 2 (較早前拍攝的畫面,當時大家都還在,還沒被送養)
牠們是一大群沒人要的孩子,在不同的時間,被丟到海邊,而牠們在海邊快樂地生活著,自己組成一個和樂的大家庭...
牠們一家原本有八隻,到後來剩五隻,現在都被送養了...
在海邊存活最久的*第一代*,三兄妹(or姊弟)在看海...
拼命咬樹枝中...
我也來加入你們...
三隻齊心協力...
我也來幫忙...
一家四口...
看甚麼?
到底有甚麼?
結論是,不要問我車裡有甚麼,因為我真的不知道...
備註: 只要壞人不打牠們的主意,牠們在海邊是過得很逍遙自在且快樂的 !
08/11/2011
本人我終於決定*種樹*...
這兩顆買回來很久了,也要感謝*S*,是她幫我確定這兩顆就是Guava Tree的...
那時候,想放植物在aviary裡,上網查了查*對鳥無害無毒的植物*,而我懂的以及汶萊買得到的,大概就只有guava了...
可是買回來後,想了想...
這兩個小樹,不到兩天應該就會被很皮,破壞性超強的budgies玩死吧(不用懷疑,很多人都不知道鳥的破壞性很強)...
於是...
我決定把樹種在後面的草地上,至少是接近aviary的...
當然...
*小棉球*看我種好兩顆小樹,就很*貼心*地幫我挖土...
又好氣又好笑...
謝天謝地,我的小樹至今還活得好好的...
凌晨12點多了...
今天是我的23歲生日...
祝我自己生日快樂 !
老了老了...
不要再問我是甚麼星座了...
也不要再研究我的怪個性了...
Were You Born on a Cusp?
Scorpio/Sagittarius
November 19 to November 23
Scorpio is the eighth sign of the Zodiac; Sagittarius is the ninth. Scorpio is the sign of sex and death, the beginning and ending, and they explore these ideas from an emotional standpoint. Sagittarius uses knowledge to understand the world. Sagittarius is the sign of philosophy and religion, and people born under this sign are the scholars and learners of the Zodiac. Those born on the Scorpio/Sagittarius cusp seek the truth and the meaning of life, and they love to explore through knowledge. They are investigative and probing, often strongly intuitive and penetrating.
The astrological symbol of Scorpio is the Scorpion. The astrological symbol of Sagittarius is the Archer. Scorpio/Sagittarius are very determined, and once they've made up their minds, they are unlikely to change them. Expressing the fixed quality of Scorpio, they tend to be stubborn, refusing to give up when others have long since become bored and abandoned a project, and they get things done when no one else thought it possible. Even though Scorpio/Sagittarius are likely to remain true to their opinions and judgments once they have settled on them, they are not necessarily fixed or opinionated. They have no set plan or bias but seek to learn new ideas as they come. In this way, the mutable quality of Sagittarius is exemplified. They desire the freedom to do what they want when they want, and they tend to be impulsive and independent.
Scorpio/Sagittarius people tend to be concerned with deeper and focused learning. They are versatile and progressive, but at times they can be impatient and pushy if something isn't getting done the way they want. Those who wish to change a Scorpio/Sagittarius mind often have trouble because they can never be sure what their motivation is; they are too complex and sometimes too secretive to be understood easily.
Scorpio is ruled by the planets Mars and Pluto. In ancient Roman mythology, Mars (and his Greek equivalent, Ares) was the god of war, and ancient astrologers assigned both Aries and Scorpio to this Planet. Pluto (and his Greek equivalent, Hades) was the god of the underworld, and when the planet Pluto was discovered early in the 20th century, astrologers assigned Scorpio to it. Scorpio's modern ruler, Pluto, represents death and endings; it's the sign of rebirth and regeneration.
Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter. In ancient Roman mythology, Jupiter (and his Greek equivalent, Zeus) was the king of the gods. Jupiter represents expansion in all its forms, including the mental outreach so prominent in Sagittarians, but it also may invite excess. It is the planet of luck, and many people born under Sagittarius do experience good luck. Scorpio/Sagittarians are interested in thought and outreach. They are intensely powerful, good-humored and generous.
The element associated with Scorpio is Water. The element associated with Sagittarius is Fire. Scorpio/Sagittarians tend to respond to the world through emotion and action, rather than practicality. They are eager and inspirational; they are about action and getting things started, but they can also seem irresponsible or tactless if they jump in too quickly. They want to experience life, rather than read about it, and they are outgoing and friendly. Scorpio/Sagittarians are motivated and loyal, but they are often misunderstood, and others may see them as dictatorial or sarcastic. They are broad-minded and enthusiastic, but they may sometimes seem to have foot-in-mouth disease, as they may talk too much or speak before thinking. Scorpio/Sagittarians are both mystical and scientific, a combination that makes them very aware of what is happening around them; they are a sign of great depth. Many enjoy travel and spiritual study and have daring and adventurous spirits.
Scorpio/Sagittarians aspire to be the phoenix or eagle, rising above the ordinary world and into something extraordinary. Their suspicion and jealousy can pull them down, but their passion and awareness can help them rise above this. They also love to have a good time and are outgoing and friendly. Many are natural comedians, sometimes exaggerating their adventures to entertain others. Their innate self-confidence may make them argumentative or blunt, but their intention is to learn, not to offend. They are high-spirited and enthusiastic, often flirtatious, and they tend to enjoy social life immensely.
In their leisure time, Scorpio/Sagittarians enjoy competition and challenge. They aren't satisfied with moving along at half speed or lowering their abilities to let those with lesser skills beat them. Personal challenge is always appreciated, and they tend to prefer solitary or one-on-one sports that stretch them to the limit, such as skydiving and big game fishing. They tend to be lucky and may enjoy gambling. Their philosophical side makes them enjoy drama and debate, as well as most other mentally challenging pursuits.
In love relationships, Scorpio/Sagittarians are flirtatious, playful, caring and possessive. The great strength of the Scorpio/Sagittarius-born is in their determination to see things through to the end. They refuse to allow boredom to turn them away from projects, and they are committed to accomplishing what they set out to do. Their philosophical and exploratory nature makes it important to live life to the fullest, experiencing everything they can. Their great love of knowledge and exploration makes them one of the most learned characters of the zodiac.
