I ? star trails

April 24th, 2008 by sixpegs

Scribbled in my diary few days ago.
My handwriting is really messy aye?
I woke up at 4.30am last night from a horrible nightmare.

I was caught in a horrible sandstorm in my dreams.

Couldn’t walk properly, couldn’t talk, couldn’t breathe.

Wake up panting and felt like I have been holding my breath for the longest time!

It was so scary.

But when I told miumiu about it, he laughed.

Dammit!

I am putting on weight lea.
SADNESS.
And exams gives me tired skin and pimples.
I’m so upset.
I love the colors of these photos by the way.

Very pretty!

OH YAH!

I suddenly remembered something.

I was in the photography room few days ago and something caught my eye.

Picture of star trails.

The route of the star in the sky as the earth rotates about its axis.

I didn’t know that they are actually SO BEAUTIFUL!

In this picture, the photographer actually waited 8 hours for the trails!

8 hours!

There is a lot of science behind taking a good picture of a star trail.

Like how long to keep the exposure, handling the daylight and more.

But it’s so pretty don’t you think so too? :)

I’d wanna find a tripod and camp on the beach to take such pictures too!

PRETTY.

PRETTY.

PRETTY.

Anyway,

We have seen a lot of online shops and now we’re celebrating!
WHY?
Because we’ve got a newcomer making a great entrance with their pretty dresses!
I took a few screenshots from the website.
And don’t forget to click on their link at the side widget which will bring you toThe Scarlette

I ? this rainbow dress very much! :D

A photographer friend of mine wishes to raise more awareness for his website as well.
So if you girls are getting married or know people who are,
or wishes to take a portfolio with your significant others,
or just a simple portfolio to capture this moment in time,CALL LAWRENCE!
:)

You may click the link at the side widget.
Or visit here to see some of his works.
I really love this following shot.
I love the model’s porcelain skin!
And he captured the mood pretty well, didn’t he?

Random note of the day: I HATE DIRTY OLD MEN!

  12. tiang Says:

    i like your handwriting too! now i think my handwriting resembles some kid’s handwriting or something. haha.

    and i thought i was the rare few who’s bumped into flashers before. i saw 2, 2 in a month. one middle aged man and one indian. ):

  13. -siaowen- Says:

    argh!! stars! i love stars! hehe! wah! 8 hrs! damn hardcore lah!! PRO lah the photographer! i like the first pic with the function. the one with ur head. hehe!

    handwritting ok wat. scribbling in an organised manner. u write diary and blog? hm. impressed.

  14. pohchin Says:

    the star trails are amazing! and if you like colours, india is a great place to capture colours, and order among the chaos. you should really take the chance to visit ur bf when he’s there… p.s. and indians in india surprisingly do not stink at all, unlike some of the ones on our sunny island…

  15. AvidPicViewer Says:

    if indians stink, its only as bad as any one of us what…the “kaleng bi” that people complain off is actually “kali bi”, which means scent of the curry, well mixed with sweat lah…but its not thier natural odour…if u went near an indian kitchen you would also have the “kali bi”.
    anyways i googled on star trails…its damn hardcore lah..but damn cool…

  19. sixpegs Says:

    wah tiang. we’re both suay pok. I ALSO LAH! when i was 14, i ran into a flasher twice a week. but i think its the same person.

    siaowen, hahahaha wah i write diaries since primary 6 leh. but now i’m not as consistent with the diaries because i blog already. but yea. haha! eh the photos damm zai right! :) i totally love it man! it’s so pretty. RESPECT!

    pohchin, HAHAHAHAHAHA. yea man, some of those in our island really SHMELLY. hehe! anyway, miumiu told me that it would be easy for me to go india to visit him because by records, only the big shot commissions had their wive over to visit them so it won’t be so convenient. SADNESS. (T_T) i’d love to visit india though.

    avidpicviewer, keleng-bi. BWAHAHAHAHA! i think if we got keleng-bi, it still won’t be as bad as theirs leh. but no offence to the indians, i think not all stinks. some of them really smell quite nice one. haha! :D and yups! star trails. *yay*

    Hi peggy!

    I’ve been a reader even before you switched over to wordpress. Okay but that’s not the point here because I bet most of your readers are! Just want to compliment you on your modelling stints and the pictures you took for photography. I had a photography module 2 sems back and I know how great it is! And yes, amazing how you have to wait for 8 hours for the swirls to appear. I have to share this website with you, http://www.flickr.com/photos/larajade/. This girl, lara is an awesome photographer. I don’t know if you already know about her but if you don’t she does the makeup for her models as well! Not only that she’s only 18 or 19 and she’s really pretty. Talented girl. Haha! Speaking of which, maybe we could be friends if you don’t mind. Well, I’m sarah and am doing my internship now. Drop me an email! (:

    love,
    sarah

    Hi Peggy,

    Nice blog you have. I read that you had a tattoo done recently. It is very nicely done. I saw it once in school. I was thinking of getting my first tattoo. It will be my girlfriend’s initial. So I do not want to screw it up and want to find one good one. Seems to me that the one you went to is very good. Can intro it to me? Thanks a lot.

  25. cheryl Says:

    I feel so sad to hear tt miu miu is going away! :(

  26. cqy01 Says:

    hi peggy..
    really enjoy reading your blog~ :D btw, how much is ur photographer friend charging for a portfolio album? i’m planning to get one done when i’m 21.. but of course have to enquire about the price first~ thankz ya~~

  27. sixpegs Says:

    hey siaowen, yea i still have my diaries now. just that i don’t write in them as often now. i’ll only pen some of my private thoughts there. those that are most personal. hehe!

    karen, i’ll email you.

    ronolics, the pictures are beautiful! i think its possible to take pictures of star trails in singapore. i’ve seen people done it in singapore before. although the trails are not as long but you still can capture the trails which made them look like shooting stars. hehe. but yea, i think if one were to keep the exposure for like 10 hours in singapore, the picture would probably look like daytime. haha!

    hello sarah, thanks for your message. :) i’ve checked out the photographer you were saying and i have to agree that she is awesome! the shots are all very unique and has a very dark kind of beauty in them. impressive. and definitely not something we see from day-to-day. i wonder if you see my pictures correctly but the ones i took are not as nice la! LOL. and i didn’t take the picture of the star trail! i’d love to, one day, though. hah!

    hello steven, you must be from NTU as well? alright, not that i’m mean or what but you want to have your girlfriend’s initials tattooed? hmmmmmmmm. i don’t know about you, but if i’m a friend of yours, i’d ask you not to. gees. but the choice is yours. why not tattoo something that is more representative of the kind of love you two share? something that means a lot to you, not just her initials? i did mine at Primitive Art at Far East Plaza. you can check either malvin or jeremy out. they’re good. :) hope that helps!

    cheryl, i’m feeling sad as well. thanks for feeling for me girl. but i hope i’ll be able to fly over to india to pay him a short visit! that would make me feel better!

    cqy01, maybe you can email him? lawrence ng. you can get the email from his website. lawrencengphoto.com. the first page of the website. :)

  28. thetoyfactory Says:

    Well, your pictures are rather nice, still! We’re not professionals yet but it’s already very good (: I love black and white photography.

    Anyhow, can I ask how did you first step into the modelling industry? I’ve alot of queries on this but I rather not blurt it all out here. Is there any other point of contact? Prolly I can leave you an email or somesort?

  29. sixpegs Says:

    hey sarah, thanks for your compliment.
    you may email me at pegs6@hotmail.com. and i’ll share with you what i know about the industry? :)
    thanks.
