Thoughts

Dont you wonder at times, what do you really want?

I was walking in the garden, with a camera at hand. Snapping photos randomly, trying out the digital macro function. Thats when i imagined how pretty it would be, if i took a photo at macro of a butterfly, taking off from a flower bug. The ideal image in my thoughts sparked me into action. Getting my stuff's ready, i sat and waited for a butterfly to come.

It was a sunny day, and the heat of the sun was beating hard down on me. Minutes past as sweat trickled down my neck. I started to feel impatient. Hell. Where are all the bloody butterflies when i want them?

Sheesh. It's getting abit too hot, and thus, i stood up for a moment, to stretch. Yawn~

Mouth wide open, i saw the butterfly i was waiting all day for. Oh yeah~ I Focused my camera on the flower bud, and half pressed the shutter button, waiting for the butterfly to land.

*Flutter flutter*

Bitch butterfly refuses to land. But truth to be told, it doesnt even know that i'm actually waiting for it to land, does it?

After a while, my eyes start to feel sore, so I stopped my focus, and rubbed my eye for a bit, chilling :S

Thats when it landed. And whats worse, i did not even notice it landing. Yay me.

When i finished rubbing my eyes, the butterfly took off, which means i was just in time ( late ) to snap the photo i wanted to. Cursing and swearing, i refocused and then waited again. I was determined to get that photo.

The butterfly danced around the tree, then once again it landed on the flower. I quickly snapped a few shots, of the butterfly on the flower. The pictures were awesome. Then i awaited the butterfly to take off, to take my ideal picture.

That was when Another butterfly fluttered into the flower next to the one i'm focusing on. The other butterfly was much prettier, with more colours and the colour tones were perfect. I knew that would make the most perfect picture of butterflies flying.

I switched my camera to focus on the 2nd buttrfly, and while doing so, both butterflies took off, thus i missed my shot once again. And i got really pisssed off this time, as I realised how much time i've wasted for nothing. Angry, i deleted all the pictures i took, and went into my house.

After calming down, i wanted to look at the pictures of the 1st butterflies, only to realise that i've deleted it, and it will not be recovered.

Thankful

Moderate typhoon hitting taiwan. Signboards flying everywhere, motorcycles falling off while travelling, umbrella's getting spoilt...

everything would have been really funny if i am watching it from malaysia. It's really a joke the way 5 motorcycles fall on their sides like bowling pins ( literally ) on the exact same spot, and this is only a moderate typhoon.

i almost died today.

My cousins and I were waiting for a chance for the rain to slow, to rush out and get some food. Yea, that moment came, and we were walking quickly to the food stalls, chatting and laughing about typhoon..

until the High Voltage electricity wires exploded on top of our heads. Sparks were everywhere, thankfully we ran away. There's also some people who were so shocked that they just looked and stared at the fire.

Going to temple when we get the chance, and for once, be really thankful that we are still alive.

Sorry i didn get pictures of that incident, was busy running :S
