First day out with my new digital camera, and I've got the 256mb card filled full to the brim! Surprisingly, I still managed to return home with 2/3 of battery life left! Shutter speed is fast, and the flash is not too blinding.

My recommendation: get the Lumix DMC-FX8 camera now!
(Panasonic should be paying me for the advertising...)

The night ended, with lots of stars. No, not the type of stars u see in the night sky. Its the stars you 'see' for straining to keep ur eyes open while focusing at the camera's blinding flash... However, I have to say it was worth every single star I saw that night. I've got the photos up HERE. Password: 0501pm2.
Please click the BLUE line that says "CAL GRADUATION BALL 2006" for MORE photos.

Like every other Prom Nights, there are 'awards' for a lucky minority. Sadly, none of the ''scouts'' saw any PM2-ers that night. I'm sure there would've been a PM2-er up there on the stage in the running for a new Motorola cellphone, IF the ''scouts'' did pay a little more attention to the tables at the back. Oh well, what's done is done. I hereby present to you, our very own CAL Graduation Ball Oscars 2006!!!

On the red carpet,

Arriving ala-stars.


The boys looking charming in their suits...


while the girls are the stunners in their dresses.

A style not even the wind can mess with.

Best Dressed...

A break from the conventional black, Yen Sun shows that Baby Blue is the colour to go.

Another one who didn't turn up in the usual black and white. Purple is your colour dude. (and formal wear is like your second skin.)

Daringly dark, this green make-up made girls go green with envy.

He deserves it, for being the all time favourite poser.

Thank you all for weight-lifting our cameras, stoning at a pose for a looong a period of time, suffering mouth cramps for smiling too much... I hope to see you all again for the Redang Trip. Missing you guys already, muax!
