got rejected, again!
Stayed up until 2am last night waiting for A.net to screen my photos. I had 2 photos in the queue and one got an instant rejection (haha...) while the other one passed the first screening. Now so far all my photos that passed first screening made it, so I thought this one would go through. So I waited for the confirmation email. At 2am, there still wasn't any email from A.net, so I went to bed feeling quite confident that my photo would be accepted. The next morning, I received... A rejection email!!! And you know what, it was sent at 2.16am, minutes after I went to sleep!!! :( If I had stayed up later, I would've seen it, and at least my time wouldn't have been wasted. Alamak, all my photos submitted to A.net so far have been rejected! Either their standards have gone up, or my editing skills have gone down! I'd like to think it's the former! But it's still bad for me!
Haha. I should go for plane photography trips more often!
On a random note, I really want to learn jazz! The past few days I've been listening to jazz all day. I love those jazz chord progressions. Watching people play jazz on Youtube makes me insanely jealous. They make it look so easy but in fact it's one of the hardest genres to play. I've been experimenting with my own jazz arrangements of popular songs but they're just pathetic attempts. I've found a music school that teaches jazz improvisation and just looking at their syllabus makes me drool. It's called Play By Ear and it teaches everything I want to know about jazz improvisation. I wanted to sign up for lessons right away the first time I visited their website, but then I realised that I would not have the time... So I can only learn after I graduate, which is... 2.5 years later!!!
You know, I might even want to do my 3rd year industrial attachment in Singapore just to learn jazz half a year earlier...

about me
Just a nobody who likes planes, football and classical music. A weird combination.
Has a strange liking for old/dead Russian composers and pianists, with the notable exception of A.Lubiantsev.
Supports Arsenal FC. Thinks A330s are hot.
