57 more days

by mott on February 7, 2009

There is a countdown I check sometimes. Countdown to the day, there will be no more daylight savings.

I check it because, I’m waiting for autumn. I’m waiting for winter. I’m waiting for spring. This year’s summer has been really crazy. It can be freezing cold and then crazy hot. At least with Autumn, Winter and Spring… it’s just either cold or very cold.

And then another year would have passed.

Imagine, it’s already February and what did I achieve in the first month of the year?

I watched my eldest son ride his bicycle. Without his training wheels. All of a sudden, he decided, he would just cycle his bike and learn how to balance. And he did. I waited for this moment, the moment where he would ‘get’ it. I had that same defining moment when I was a little girl too. It was the proudest moment of my life. I hope he’ll never forget that moment.

I also watched my second child struggle with his bike. He refuses to peddle and this often frustrates me. But, I know I have to be patient. I know that one day, he too will just ‘get it’ and I cannot force it unto him.

I found myself volunteering at my second child’s preschool. I am now a Newsletter Editor. Hee hee. I decided to have a go at this, even though I have no clue what was going on. Now…I’m frantically trying to prepare my very first newsletter edition. Hey..how hard can it get, right? I mean, this is JUST preschool.

Ha ha..we’ll just see by the end of March..if I’ve not pulled my hair out.

I’m also learning and learning how to use my P&S Canon. You can do so much with it. But the problem is…I have no clue what apeture is. I have no clue what shutter speed is. I have no clue. So, I just press all the buttons here and there… and then ‘click’. Hope and pray that I get good pictures. According to Mr.T, I have to perfect my Canon S5IS before I can even consider looking at a SLR. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Gawd..I wish I was earning my own moolah..then I can get it without begging asking him for it.

I learnt how to cook so many things with lovely porky. I just like eating meat. I’m sorry I’m so carnivorous. I think I just am low in iron….and my body just craves for it. A lot.

So…on with February. The start of school. For two of them. And more time for my lil guy. At last.

Now…what would I do with some spring plungers, eh?

Hey, send me an email if you want a file on basic DSLR. Gives you all the basic information u need to know abt aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc. It’s quite a big file, so let me know if u want it.

It is really not that diff to learn..and once u do, you’ll love it!

btw,…don’t be intimidated by the file size, the info is very easy to digest.
