It was past midnight and I was ready to sleep when I heard that ‘new mail’ wooosh sound from the iPod. Quickly, I checked and look what I’ve read:<\/p>\n

\nwhoa. That didn’t sound too loud huh? <\/em>lemme try this again. WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. there there! my eyes beamed at the thought of being picked! Thank You Lomography Singapore!<\/em> – it felt like I won some singing contest I was never qualified for. Haha I don’t want to put so much drama behind it really but hey, I can only count within my two hands the number of times I must have felt this ‘winning’ feeling. *bubble thoughts*. <\/em>Like when I got silver medal for playing chess at grade school. Or that time when I finished all stages with all my might to rescue the Princess playing Super Mario Nintendo. I felt like a super heroine. Haha <\/em>Or that first time I learned playing my guitar I felt I can be a rock star someday. Obviously, that didn’t happen today God knows why. \ud83d\ude1b <\/em>And oh, remember my first featured photo on a travel magazine<\/a>,too? So you see, this woooshing <\/em>feeling is putting a big grin on my face I can wear it all night during my sleep. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

What’s this all about anyway?<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, about few weeks ago, I happened to have clicked on a link<\/a> posted from my friend’s Facebook wall. Since Lomography<\/a> is opening a new flagstore in Singapore, they came up with a lomo blogging challenge where they’ll pick 20 bloggers living in Singapore and give out a La Sardina<\/a> lomo camera (to rent only) for a period of time just to play & blog about the experience. See more details here<\/a>. It sounded so cool, cute and that retro-looking baby weakened my knees so it made me think, ‘Why not join,too for the fun of it!’ <\/em>I do own a mini Diana<\/a> but I’ve either left it on the shelf most of the time or have not been getting good results. So I thought maybe this\u00a0 challenge is a chance for me to rediscover & learn more the craze in analog. Right after I sent my email entry though, I got another separate email for an exclusive<\/strong> invitation for the challenge. Boy, did it get me a LOT more excited!!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The finalists were all announced over at Lomography Singapore<\/a>‘s Facebook’ wall yesterday. I had to stick my nose to the monitor to clearly see my name inked there<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Can’t wait to unbox the La Sardina <\/a>as soon as I get my shaking hands on ’em! la la la!<\/p>\n

Enjoyin’ life’s little triumphs is incomparable! Happy weeekeeeeend!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
