Cameroos

After weeks of leaving the camera unattended on the shelf gathering dust,sitting idly next to a bunch of Grisham novels-I picked up it yesterday,and made a pointless mission to take pictures of anything I found interesting in the next two days.Well,few pics are from a while ago.Wednesday often turns out to be unusually exhausting,mainly due to the two two-hour lectures that require me to stick my ass to one seat for four hours straight-and by the last half hour I'd start to lose concentration,sketching on my notes and countdown the seconds to freedom.Today was no different,except when I walked out the most amazing feeling hit me-It was 6pm and raining lightly,already dark so most of the lights were already on and the weather,and everything about this evening was just so perfect-and I take it as my personal payoff from God for having survived the previous four gruelling hours inside the lecture theatre.Sometimes when you least expect it,you're reminded that life's beauty is everywhere and in everything even if you refuse to see it.And these pictures help convey how I felt,because words alone are simply too weak for this.

I've passed this point countless times and honestly I never got the message,but how this mysteriously rhetorical question about war scribbled on the outside wall of a vacant house quietly contrasts with the normal sights surrounding it,well,there's something vaguely colourful in there.

Reminded me of Little Miss Sunshine.Once in a while I see these hippy-looking vans around Melbourne,a quirky reminder that personality will always triumph over all the other fancy-looking vehicles around.

These old BMW's,with their unbelievably slick and charmingly retro designs and ageless beauty-always captures my attention.

An old party decoration flickering wildly against the air.Even when everything else around is completely silent,the air is gloriously filled with the feel of celebration and joy.

The ominous entrance to the Chemistry Building,taken near sundown.Reminds me of the old haunted houses featured in classic horror flicks,as if cannibalistic zombies from Dawn of The Dead could pop out anytime from those creepy white doors.

This is random,but the usual feeling of restlessness and boredom I have when studying Accounting is slightly relieved by the fact that the textbook is full of colours on every single page,with the cheerful cover hinting of the candy explosion awaiting inside.

The three cats I miss so badly.Muffin,shying away from the camera by pretending to talk to the wall and Chichi with her signature i'm a big bitch pose.And Rainbow,characteristically confronting the camera head-on with a tiny frown that spells cuteness.

Finally just Muffin,who's often crazily paranoid and hiding under chairs,and cleverly camouflaging herself with Persian carpets to avoid us,now has the joke on her.I remember reading some short story during SPM time about this small girl who lived in a farm with her cow,and they'd go out for long walks in the woods-the cow sometimes drifted away from the girl,so she put a large bell on its' neck incase the cow got lost.But it came to a point where the cow would run off and sit completely still so the bell wouldn't ring,and this pissed the shit out of the small girl.Well,that's one really smart cow.

Peace out muh' kitties.
