neoprints

sorry about the fuzzy picture. i just dinno how to use MY camera. love the pic on top row, 2nd from left.

its funny how i always find something else when i am actually looking for something else.

things like that only happen to people with messy rooms.

was ransacking my room and drawers looking for a card and i found a whole packet of neoprints from a time long long ago. and i was going thru them one by one...its amazing hwo the colors are still so good.

i found myself laughing out loud over almost everything and sighing intermittently...i found the 'me' that i used to be all over again. the giggly giggly AND giggly me. i WAS such a comic and it was so clear in the neoprints. unlike now, i'm all sophisticated and serious. =)

my favorite neoprint friends were winnie, adelene, mei ling and cali. God knows how much we spent on those machinesthat just go 'haik chee zee' every 2 seconds. God knows why we did what we did and found it addictive. maybe we secretly allt hink we look good lah and we din have hp cameras or digi cams to tote around. afterall, it was THAT long ago. and honestly, i think we looked fantabulous. it was picture after picture of joy and craziness (the good kind) and fun and laughter. no make up, no fancy clothes, just us and our uniforms and genuine smiles.

maybe we should recreate those moments again someday.

btw, my favorite neoprint (as of today) is the one with mei ling and cali..but only my face can be seen. haha.blame it on the small screens...i was trying to pose as a cow and in that few seconds, unknowingly blocked out cali's face.mei ling escaped though. just by an inch. oops. not because of my fat cheeks ....i don't remember them being very happy about that shot.(above)

If you're taking close-ups, you have to toggle the CLOSE-UP function on your camera so that it turns out sharp lah. Look for a button that has a flower or something.

I really don't want to think of how much money we spent on those neoprints! Say $2 a week (underestimate already) x 52 weeks a year x 4 years = $1578972350

Hahah.. that's right xy, it's the button with a flower, otherwise known as MACRO function. :)

anyway. HAHA!! i think it's more than $2 a week. One neoprint was what.. $6 or $8 bucks? sigh. We could have all just gotten a digital camera each.. (even in those early digicam years) and STILL have money remaining to buy paper/markers etc to get the cool borders.

WAHAHA. :P
