Third day since school reopen.

I'm trying to do my best to find time to write here.

Since today's Wednesday, I've got my GEMs - Photography lesson!

Ok, before I move on to talking about the lesson, I think I would just want to highlight something.

I find some people so hard to approach cos they just look so unfriendly!

I'm not saying that I'm an extremely friendly person or what, but sometimes just trying to smile or make polite gestures at a person you would try to befriend with, or rather, just someone to acknowledge your presence, is just so difficult!!!

It's like, you try to make eye contact with them, but all they do is give you a blank face, and that gives me the impression that I'm not worthy enough to talk to you.

Like what?!?!

Well okay, my point of mentioning this is...

Take today for example.

I go to my lesson alone, thinking that "Oh well, time to make new friends all over again"

But I don't like to take the initiative everytime!

I don't want to go around and ask stupid questions like, (and this especially applies to those who come to classes with their friends)

"Oh hi, are you taking this class also?"

Then they give you a "yeah"

Then I go, "oh! What's your name"

*Inserts name* And if they bother to, they would ask for your name too.

And then I carry on asking them about their course and so on, then I later realise that, hmm maybe they are not interested in making friends with me. And they carry on talking in their own little world.

I don't know. If you are older than me, isn't it weird that you have a junior taking the initiative to come up with topics just to make friends with you?

Like hello?!?!

Will befriending me make you lose a piece of flesh?!

Wait.

I'm not desperate to make friends okay (okay a little, maybe). But that's the whole purpose when you see new people right!!!

You know, my initial plan is just to stand outside the class or while inside the class, someone would come over and introduce themselves to me and carry out a comfortable conversation with me.

How nice would that be!!!

Hate it when I go talk to someone, and you give me answers like you can't be bothered to.

Fine.

I'll leave you alone.

Now back to my main point, at least I made a new friend! And I hope she doesn't forget me next week!

Frankly speaking, I think I like this module.

It's kinda interesting! Like I'm gonna have chances to expose myself to different photography techniques.

And even though now it's basics first (cos I've already covered the same things during my product training and my workshop), I find it even more relevant when the lecturer talks about it.

Maybe I was the only one who was nodding and acknowledging that he's talking, he kept looking at me. LOL.

When he showed us his works, I could feel a lot from his pictures. There's this feeling of being moved and touched.

I wanna take these kind of photos too!

Just that, he's kinda strict and probably expects a lot from us.

I read about his profile, and wowwwww, he's kinda reputable I must say.

I've probably got a lot to ask and consult him, but I don't want the other classmates to think that I'm weird or trying to suck up to him :/

I shall see how it goes.

Well, maybe photography will become an aspect that I'm really interested in.

So, probably I'll post up some of my photos here or on Facebook / Twitter so that people can give me comments. Then maybe I can consider showing them to the class and my lecturer during sharing sessions.

Kinda looking forward to next week's GEMs. Just that, there's going to be quite a huge load of work to do, but hopefully my growing interest will not stop me from exploring more.
