Yamakasi/Freerunning

i saw a documentary on SBS the other day. it's about these 4 guys who invented a new sport called Yamakasi or some people call Free Running/Parkour. these guys are simply amazing. if you think breakdancers are the most wicked thing, these guys blow breakers completely out of the water. their moves are so fluid you'd swear they could levitate. they eat breakers for breakfast (ok that last sentence sounded lame, but so what, these guys are so cool!) seems these guys train their guts out to get where they are; they're incredibly strong, and they can make moves that would snap a normal human being's legs in two. I went onto Youtube and found a couple of videos on this new 'sport' and found some vids on the 'original' 4 Yamakasi founders plus some guy called David Belle (and no, there are no special FX)

My new (sorta) haircut!

i had a haircut a couple of weeks ago and i wanted to post some pics of it up but haven't found the time until now. a good friend of mine also wanted to see it coz she was the one who recommended me the hairstylist. anyway, here are the pics:

i had it highlighted and cut in a mohawk kinda fashion. this is the front view.

side view

back view. i wanted the back to have the highlights just down the middle so it emphasises the mohawk. My previous hairstylist refused to cut the style i wanted coz he thought it wouldn't look "nice", but this new one did what i asked and made it look really good!

My First Entry!

shona:

well not exactly my first entry. i typed up everything (one day when i was at work *shhh* but i had nothing else to do! was waiting for the dual layer DVDs to burn - which took like 40 mins/dvd!). duno why but i think cos it was a Mac(!) it just shutdown Safari when i pressed "save" to post it up!!!! grrrr

so don't say i haven't tried!

life's been bzbzbz recently. lots to do at work and finding that there's not enough hours in a day to do stuff. thankfully i've got a day off today! didn't sleep in but got out of bed at 730ish and been on the computer since (happy with myself!). It's now 9:26am and i haven't done't anything i've planned to do! checked my emails, read like 10 different blogs, checked out some photoshop courses offered at Plaza Imaging and i'm trying to put my first entry up!! argh..may b that's y i don't have enough hours in a day??

list of "to do's" today: edit and process 5 big photo shoots (3 church events and 2 portrait shoot), do up new business cards/stationary, design cd label (i recently bought a canon pixma iP6600D printer that prints on DVD/CD! at bargain price too! was orig $199 or there abouts, but cos i found one at the bargain desk i got it for $138! it was a "returned by customer" thing, perfectly ok but just not suitable for whatever the person needed it for). so now i can have "nice professional" looking DVD/CDs - not dumb stickers labels stuck on it that looks so unpro!

next thing on my "list to buys" are - Wacom tablet (minimum 6x8inch), laser colour printer, projector, new camera mobile phone, 4wd, boat, house...hmm the list is getting pretty big and expensive!

ok i think i better leave it here for now. Just incase IE want's to shutdown on me and not let me post this up.

tata n u'll hear from me soon...depending on what "soon" means!

Giant Cuttlefish!

We went fishing today at North Mole in Fremantle. Didn't catch anything though. We were hoping to catch the salmon school as they were migrating north to Exmouth but i guess we were there at the wrong time. Just as we were packing up to leave, there was a commotion. Apparently, some old guy caught a giant cuttlefish. Here's how it looks like (sorry the camera i had on me was pretty lousy):

The thing was huge! it must have been at least a kilo or more. That alone made our trip. :)
