Went to a chalet for William's bday party cum ORD celebration yesterday. Thought I would be later than my class but surprisingly I managed to get there before them. Apparently they got lost on the way.

DC and Yim brought along a very sophisticated sound system. It's better than the PA system I used in camp. They even brought a wireless mike, which was very useful when William gave his bday speech. Luckily they kept it down, or everyone would have been partially deaf by the time they left. Also got to play around with his canon SLR. It really opens up so many possibilities as compared to my little Sony DSC-S40. All the settings can be manually adjusted, so artistic effects are much easier to achieve. Went for a walk along the boardwalk to find subject matter for photos. It was fun to adjust settings manually instead of relying on auto modes to do everything. However, no matter how good the camera is, the composition of the shot is still much more important.

Had a good time catching up with my JC classmates again. William's bday speech was very humorous, as he went through the various stages of his life, highlighting some events that made it memorable, like my class' constant bridge playing, haha.

Happy Birthday William, and thanks for a great party!!
