Photography is NOT easy!

I just realise something about myself..maybe alot of other people know this already..that i am not a very patient person. :) Today..i finally did my photo printing..and man,did i lose my cool. :P Sigh..honestly,i thought printing will be easy since developing the films were pretty easy..and boy,was i wrong..darn wrong! I used like 12 8" x 10" photo papers today and i only have 1 that was good..well,among the rest that i've printed today anyway..Sigh,might go back to college again tomorrow to continue cause by 2pm i was really really frustrated cause i couldnt get it right..well,i did try alot of stuffs to make the photos come out better but looking at the rest of the gang getting it right made me feel even worse. :)
But guess the good thing about it was during each wash..i was praying really hard so that the photo will come out well and looking at the chemicals make the changes on the photo paper kinda made me feel better but when i took it out of the darkroom to get a better look..frustration kicked back in..so..erm..wasnt a nice sight. :P I'm just hoping that the river shots that i took at Ulu Yam will come out good cause i did try to do a test print using one of the shots i had from Ulu Yam..but the initial test prints werent that good..so i'm kinda worried now. Really dont want to screw up the Ulu Yam shots cause i think i'll be using most it to hand in as my assignment photos. :)
And the photo papers arent cheap man..for 25 pieces of 8" x 10"s are RM55 and thats not including chemicals which will cost RM82. Thankfully today Raymond and Yanna were there so i kinda just 'tumpang' [tagged along] and used theirs..hehe. :P I know its really rude and not nice but i didnt have enough cash to buy the chemicals myself..so for today i had to do that. ;) Thank God i have such nice friends. :D Really want to thank Yanna too cause without her..i'll be breaking the workstation i was using to do my prints..hehe. :P Yes,i was that frustrated. ;)
Oh well,after my 12th try i decided to leave cause i really couldnt take it anymore..so Li Ann and i left to go for lunch at Old Town. Had banana leaf rice again with ayam goreng [fried chicken] and yong tau foo. :P Well,i shared the yong tau foo with Li Ann,ok..i wasnt a glutton.. ;) But we hade lunch around 4pm..so wasnt such a good idea after all..hehe. :P Man,i'm really gaining back everything that i've lost..Really have to get back to my kickboxing and weekday diet routine..if i wanna stop the fats from coming back. ;)
Well,after the late lunch..we went to Midvalley cause i wanted to check out BranRyan hoping to at least get a glimpse of the G3A3 or the AUG AEG before i buy it next month..hehe. ;) But to my disappointment..they were closed for renovation from the 20th til the 24th of this month..man.what a waste of time. :P Oh well,at least while i was there..i managed to get some nice cold milo drink. :) So it wasnt a bad trip...so now i'm back home blogging again..fiddling with the idea of going back to college tomorrow again to continue with my printing since i need another 5 more negative prints and 1 non-negative print to hand in by week 9. Which reminds me..i still have to write the essay for my Malaysian Studies assignment thats due next Wednesday and 1/3 of a report which is due next Thursday for my ERS which is a group project i'm doing with Putri and Zaza.
Oja is thinking about tagging along tomorrow if i'm going..so gotta check see who's going tomorrow cause i still dont have the cash to buy the chemicals so i'll still have to tag onto someone that gonna be printing. :) Yes,yes..i'm very rude..i'm sorry but i can afford it this month...sigh,not good. Anyways,should start on my work again now..and since i'm still feeling so full from the late lunch..i think i can last til tomorrow before i need to eat again..haha. :) So "Au revoir, mes amis."
