Hehehehe….
Let’s start from autumn in 11 of OCTOBER 2008….
As you know, we all had our AUTUMN GROUP PHOTOS DAY on that special day!
Johnny uploaded only some of the photos…but now, since I am not so busy, so I uploaded almost complete series of autumn photos.....hehehe….
First, we departed our hostel at around 9.30 AM…..
See how early we woke up on HOLIDAY, just for the last autumn photo taking here!
Hahaha…
Walk to …… here, to meet Ting came from Hostel 4 and waited for us there….
This is the café where we came when we arrived KURSK for the first time…
There is a big monument in front of the café here…
There he was… waiting for us…hehe….
So now, everyone had present, including the only one, who we worried so much that he might not come together with us, well, I think you know who is the only one in our group hates photo taking so So SO MUCH!
Last time, there were 2 in our group, but until ONE DAY, one of the two realized that actually she looks nice in photos and since that day, she likes to take photo and now only left Bryan alone who hates photos taking…
Ooopppss… Did I reveal the only ONE in our group???? Hehehe…well, I think that is not a secret anymore…
Johnny likes to take a series of photos, meaning,
ONE press on camera, there will be ‘ka cha’ ‘Ka Cha’ KA CHA’ 5 times, or 10 times, as you like!
So NOW, FIRST series of photos with the monument!…Notice some CHANGES??
Okay, now, a proper group photos…no more Series…
Change positions….
Now in front of the café…
Okay, done with the café and monument…now let’s head to the park where, we have to cross 2 railway and then wide road to reach…..
Here, we took one photo together before the train-bus passes by..hehehe…
Here we were, in the reddish orange park with all the autumn leaves…
Now, photos in the park….with first,
A group photo without proper arrangement…
Now, another photo, with a proper arrangement by the author of this blog….
I had hoped for this kind of photo since 2007, and during BBQ, I tried to arrange them…and it turned out like this…
Then, like this,
So, obviously, the arrangement was distorted…it failed…
And, this time, in 2008 autumn, I grabbed this hardly earned opportunity to request for another ‘proper arranged positions’ photo..hehe..
So, since I requested, I have to arrange it…here they are…
Above picture was RAW one…meaning, you can edit it into a better looking photo…and then you COOK and save it….Below is the edited one…put in more contrast and colors…
Even though above ‘arranged’ photo look nice, but I am still not satisfied with it, because my specs had reflection! Ai yaaaa…… will find another time to take again..hope there will be another chance lor….. because it is very hard to gather all of us together just to take photo…..
Now, we wanted to take another kind of photos, like the poster of the HEROES series look like.. a very popular English series…which is ..like this…
We tried to get our position, directed by Kelvin…
Now, snap ONE…
Not very perfect! Why?? See JOHNNY…He SMILED! Everyone supposed to act COOL!
Not even a smile…hahaha….So…
Snap TWO!
Now, Johnny kept his head down! Hahaha…but…aihh..still not very perfect!
Why? Some smiled…who? Look at the photo! Hahaha….
Anyway, we didn’t know about it until we look at the picture… if we knew it earlier, we might take another snap…hahahaha… So, enough of POSTER photos…
Now, JUMP photos! Hahaha..
One of the most popular type of photos of all the youngsters….. jump JumP JUMP!!
Johnny took a series photos… this time is ‘Ka Cha’ 10 times!
So, here they are…see how we tried so hard to get the perfect photos, and in the end…
Everyone was so UNSYNCHRONIZE…. Hahaha…

Johnny’s portrait….with the wooden doll in the park…
Then, after that, everyone wanted to take with the wooden doll too…

You can see how confuse were we to find a good pose….

Here we were, some of us joined in with him too after he alone took with the doll…
Saw this very artistic wooden decoration in the park…
So, all of us decided to take one with it! Haha…We choose our own position!
So, get your favourite position quickly before others got it!
Shi how, Ting, me and Andrew on the Wood…
Shoo hao, eddy, Kelvin hanging on the metal..

Anyway, just a photo…so ..hahhaa..just take with him lor…like I am pregnant…
Back to Normal photo…
Me and Ting.. What were we doing?? I have no idea! It was ting’s idea to take this photo! Hahaha….Like we were advertising the CAMERAS..
What was bryan doing while all of us were having fun taking our own FUNNY photos??
There he was…hahaha….
Johnny is like falling in love with bryan…taking his photo whenever he is not aware..
Hahaha….
Some interpreted the above photo like bryan was mian bi si guo
Some said… he was urinating under the tree…hahaha…anyway…that was all kidding!
Nobody knows what he was thinking that time….hehe..
We got new idea of taking photo suddenly! So, we called bryan out…
To take these photos! a FOOTS or SHOES? Photos..haha..
Andrew was taking some maple leaves to the middle…Now take!
A closer snap!
The end- for the foots photos ONLY..haha…
Continue eating… the left over foods~
Did you notice I wasn’t inside the photo? Why? Because I was the camera-girl...
Ting and Andrew…toasting….
Eddy and Shoo hao with the wooden doll again…the wooden doll was so popular! Only on that day! Hahaha…
And ME with the wooden doll…to take a KISSING it photo effect..hehehe
But the angle was not very accurate….forget it!
Photo with another popular doll of the day..haha..
Taking photos on the maple leaves! Haha…
Why did he climb so high??
To take photo… why have take at that height?
That height to have this effect lor! The same, on MAPLE leaves photos…
But with more people in… too bad not taking with johnny’s camera…cause no one has the courage to use it with that height! If it drops! Your $$$ gone! Haha…
Now..see the difference between the normal digital camera with SLR camera! Hehe..
Too dark! Another one with flash!
Now everyone LOOK AWAY..not into the camera! SNAP!

Lastly, some individual portraits with SLR before Johnny keep his camera!
It’s about time for us to leave now~ to give an end to this special moment together!
Session ended at 11 am…
So… GOODBYE to 2008 AUTUMN.. our LAST autumn!
Goodbye to our Last Autumn 2008, now, lets play with our LAST WINTER 2009 now..
Hahaha…
Today, on 5th of January 2009, just one day after Johnny’s birthday…
Tell you a secret told by Johnny told!
Yesterday night at 12am on 4th of January 2009, Johnny was waiting for his “beloved” groupmates to celebrate his birthday! He waited and waited~ But none appeared!
Poor guy! Hahaha… He ended the secret with a scolding “死的!” hahaha!!
Sorry Johnny! We never know you were so anticipating it, but I think you can take that as a LAST birthday SurprisE for you this year! Hahaha!!
Anyway, we already planned a birthday lunch for this “birthday” boy…
He must have already post about it in his own blog! Haha…
So let me post about what we did after his birthday lunch! HOohoho…
We decided to go out take photos with the white snows outside there!
At the park behind our hostel.. We took lots of SERIES of photos!
And first, we stepped out from our hostel, we saw a snow man ready made!
Heard it was built by Brazilian living in our hostel! WOW! Geng!
Very nicely built snow man!
Okay…lets the HUMANS go in! The “crazy” geng! CRAZY??
Johnny wasn’t inside…so lets take another photos…
FIRST SERIES….I don’t know how many “ka cha” but they are a series…
Want to make a snowing effect! But seems like it failed! Hahaha…
You think it is so easy to let it snow just like that?
This girl who didn’t want to give out on snowing effect named COLLEY..
She is the roommate of Johnny’s Adeline......You can see lots of her in following photos later on….cause she is one of the only ‘crazy’ geng who thought of taking photos in such a cold ‘negative’ weather! Hahaha…
Giving up with the snowing effect…now, they were attacking TEO! One of the geng too!
They were Lynn wei and Colley…
Johnny, taking his series of photos…with colley besides helping him with the SNOWING effect again! Hahaha..
Okay now… Finally getting tired enough with the snowing effect, Teo did something very interesting! Decapitated the SNOWMAN!
And holding it to snap a photo! Whose camera is he looking at?
Here…he is looking at my digital camera, colley beside him look so HAPPY? Haha
Okay, now let us take a picture with the head removed! Hahaha..
Back to my camera now… because jOhnny ‘no heart’ to take photo liao and is now worried about the snowman’s life!
Thinking on how to rescue him! Hahaha…
While lynn wei and colley trying hard to ‘glue’ back the head…
What was teo, the murderer doing??
Finally, teo feeling a bit guilty, joined in the ‘rescue’ team…Me joined in for FUN!
Haha… We got to act faster before the brazilian saw their ‘dear snowman’ being decapitated! They going to kill us if they saw that..haha…
After the head was put back, we proceeded to the playground….
Always, there are cars parked near the playground, and whenever I passed by the cars which are covered with snow, I will draw a smiley face on it….
So, this time, the same way….
Just see the thickness of the snow, you will know, there was a heavy snow before…
Me doing something without people’s permission???? Oppss…got snapped!
Another photo, with the complete smiley face….hehehe..
Now, lets get into the playground! Wow! Covered all over by WHITE SNOW!!
Lynn wei looking for a good spot..for what??
Good spot to lie down… for wat??
What is this??
Can you see what that is?? Well, it is an human-made ANGEL! Hahaha…
Looks like angel or not?
Teo wanted to try too!
Johnny busy taking TEO’s photos…haha
Here it is…
A BIGGER ANGEL!
Me taking Johnny taking photos..
Their photo with my camera…
Lynn wei and Colley, trying the angels again in a NEW spot after spoiling the OLD spot..
Haha….

The SEVENTH series of the day..hahaha…START!
I deleted the last photo of the series, which is the 10th photo..cause I don’t look nice in it..hehehe..
Hahaha… so FUNNY la this series.. Only lynn wei posed very nicely…
Me cant stop laughing! Because it is so weird and funny when you are taking that kind of photo..well..for me it is weird and looks like a crazy people running toward a camera!
Hahaha…but it was very fun… I laughed everytime I look at the photos…

Was trying to snap a few photos to try out if they were in the right position because…
The tripod is for Johnny’s height! And so.. I am not tall enough to look through the lens!
So, the only way to take a right position is try to snap a few photos and see the preview..
