Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should i go back and try to graduate
Life's better now then it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me...

HELLO!
found this website
http://photo.net where you can go view photos and critiques. i think the photos there are pretty good, although some of them seem to be art pieces [like painting like that la]. go check it out.
yupp.
and since the flow of pictures seems to have come to a stop, i shall post another one!
the restrooms at venice beach, LA. i just thought it looked interesting cos it was all in a row, plus theyre unisex, which is something that's not very common in singapore.
mm.. i think thats about it. yupp. POST PEOPLE! ^^ -qi*

Yo ppl, just realised i've got quite some photos from my China trip, so shall share some with you all XD
This one is an old man writing outside a temple in the morning on the floor, he was really cool cause he was using this super long brush, which is really difficult to write with>.<
Yepp...
Haha, here's a really random photo because i saw the rabbit and it was really cute and furry:
It was furrowing around the cage, together with loads of his/her mates, some of them were black too!!
And then i went to this ancient building kinda thing at the top of some mountain, luckily there was a lift straight up, or else i'm gonna die from the climb>.<
It was kinda misty so it's not really nicely exposed, but i haven't done any photoshop editing yet so yep, here's the raw version hor! One really interesting thing about the building is that it's surrounded by the ancient kind of Chinesy railings, and every two or three metres there's this small stone lion on the railing, and each lion's got different expressions!
A lot of ancient ppl wanted to build the building, including the first emporer of the Ming Dynasty, who directed the war against some really pro enemy there, but nobody did really build it until now, so it's kinda something that existed only in dreamsXD
Obviously, if you can read chinese, it's called Yue Jiang Lou, meaning Building that Observes the River, which refers to the Chang Jiang river, (3rd longest in the world), and it's really true cause when you are at the to you could really see the river! Too bad it was misty that day>.<
Yep... Cann really upload everything cause the server's really slow today, but that's for now:P

Hm, it's been the longest time since I've blogged... I have a couple of nice photos, but those will wait until they get sorted out properly. Anyway, I spent the New Year's Eve running around for photos of fireworks, but it rained so terribly that I could only find a spot at The Fullerton area where most people were. Tried to get some photos, but turned out most were unsatisfactory )=
Above is probably the nicer of those photos. I think it looks better in smaller size :D
Alright, that's all for now. Adios!
Jesz
P.S. If I find a better one, this one will have to go.

Hi girls!
Nice blog you have here.
Leeqi, did you design the template?
And I think the photographs are fantastic!
I hope that it is not only Rachel and Leeqi who posts on this blog.
Anyway I have 4 comments to make.
Comment 1:
I found it a chore to have to remember another password and user account. I recommend that you girls use the team blogger function. See this for instructions. http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=41440&topic=8918
Basically you can blog on RGS Mops from your existing dashboard (especially if you are an existing BLOGger)Perhaps MOPs members are given the exclusive administration rights and we can set up some kind of honorary membership for others who want to contribute?
Comment 2:
I feel for a successful blog to work, it must have a COMMUNITY. To build a COMMUNITY, people must feel affiliated, belonged to, a part of and proud of. It is difficult to establish a COMMUNITY. Look at our country's efforts. It is not the role of the administrator or the ex-co to build COMMUNITY.
Who has to play a part to build COMMUNITY?
Comment 3:
What is the difference between using this blog and using the yahoo groups? Once again, personally i feel a little overwhelmed to have to post to 2 sites let alone manage and administrate both. Do you think it's possible to reduce the usage to one form or at least try to promote and recommend how these two sites can be used? Very often blogs and E-groups are set up with a bang with many posts and then they slowly die down. What do you girls think can be done to ensure survival and eventual sustainability? Once again, this is my PERSONAL Comment. Thats what blogs are for right? =) ?!?!?!?!?!?
Comment 4
I am extremely hyped up and excited over the prospects of getting everyone involved. In my opinion, it would be great to have a blog which MOPs could post their favorite or recent pictures to share with everyone your passion and love for this artform/skill/expression/etc...
Also this would be an excellent platform for us to grow where others can comment on the photos we take. But of course like any other skill, for example learning to play the piano or to speak a third language, we can pick it up easily just by practicing often enough in a rote learning manner. In order to be better and be EXTRAORDINARY, what is needed is not the total immersion into practicing and practicing and practicing and practicing (which often works....)
Sometimes it is better to take the road less traveled by.... I feel that...
it is the personal involvement in that particular community,
the willingness to open up with an open heart
that is unafraid of peoples comments,
focused on the professional advice and feedback that other people give,
and finally the admission of one's shortcomings and the desire to improve.
With this spirit and mind,
the person can then grow and finally reach acceptance by everyone in that particular community and be well known, established, successful and feel ACCOMPLISHED and eventually, achieve SATISFACTION.
Phew. That was quite a mouthful.
Do we seek ACCOMPLISHMENTS for SATISFACTION in Life?
OR
Don't we all seek ACCOMPLISHMENTS for SATISFACTION in Life?
=)
Hope to see more people actively participating in this COMMUNITY!

My turn! I was at Asahiyama zoo in Sapporo when i took a picture of this cute little penguin ( i forgot the name). it was snowing really heavily at that time! Luckily, my cannon ixus did not freeze so i managed to capture a shot of the penguin who was going to junp into the 'pool'/ pond. I had to wait really long to get this shot coz all of them were like bobbing in and out of the water xD

YAY I FINALLY CHANGED THE TEMPLATE!
^^
and HEREs my first picture! yay!
Killer whale in the "Believe - A Spectacular" show at San Diego Sea World. And no, it's not Shamu cos it's a FEMALE, as can be seen from her dorsal fin. If you want to know the difference, just ask me next time you see me yea. And this photo has been cropped cos my zoom wasnt good enough to get a good composition, although I risked getting the camera wet by sitting in the front few rows [the SPLASH zone].
mmkay c'est finis. bonne nuit, tout le monde ^^ -qi*
