Look similar to profile pic lol, love posing with film cams
Thanks JS for this image. This was taken a few weeks back before I turn 1 year older today.

Rain or shine we will still have fun!

Recent weather is pretty bad for shooting, but nothing can stop this couple. At near the end of the shoot, they ditched their umbrella and embraced the rain. How I wish to join them, but I have protect my camera gear, so I continue to hide almost comfortably under the umbrella :p

Let it snow

2011-11-14T00:27:00.002+08:00

It is the time of the year again that.......Christmas is coming! Happened to pass by Clark Quay few nights ago and saw the sky full of bubbles. Not sure if somehow they did something to the solution of the soap-water,as just like snow, the bubbles can 'freeze' longer in the air. Usually normal bubble will just move away swiftly once it is formed. Such a pretty sight.

Gome ne.. lack of time = lack of update. Will be posting another post shortly and wishing everyone an advance merry christmas!

Love is in the air

RIP Mr Steve Jobs..

It is a very sad day today. He will always be greatly remembered.

"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

The 6.3mn girl

2011-09-17T02:45:00.012+08:00

She lives with the rule of 6.3mn
Where no exception is allowed
"Why 6.3?" They asked
She smiled.
"There is no reason, this is just the way it should be."

Overnight train to Sapa

2011-08-24T00:44:00.000+08:00

9 hours journey. Tight space. Rusty. Hard rocking journey.
I actually find it quite interesting and memorable.

Bustling Old Quarter

2011-08-21T18:50:00.003+08:00

Northern part of Vietnam left me a great impression. Hanoi is a vibrant city blessed with friendly good-natured folks, tons of stores and endless streets to explore @ Old Quarter, you can hardly get bored. The only problem would be the heat thou, the Sun can be deadly.

Although most of the Vietnamese are kind and friendly, thieves are something to be mindful of. One of my friends was 'robbed' right in front of him just within 2 hours when we walked around the Old Quarter. Fortunately the money is able to be retrieved back with the aid of our Vietnamese tour guide. Nonetheless as long as one is careful, it is a lovely place to visit.

More birds

It is interesting how we view things differently after some time. Previous version of the flying bird here.

China Bird & Fish Market

2011-08-10T16:30:00.000+08:00

It's always full of suprises when visiting animal markets in different countries. You get to know what kind of pets the local people are keeping and sometime chance upon some rare species too.

Suzhou Night

2011-07-25T00:31:00.000+08:00

I almost regret for not bringing my tripod, had to take pictures holding my breath or crouch in awkward position. Wished I have more time to explore Suzhou. Pingjiang road is simply lovely and peaceful at night.

Romantic is the greatest gift a man can give to a woman

@ SK and Udelia's wedding. When he started singing 'Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin', her tears just fell uncontrollably. Honestly, it is not that hard to move a woman's heart, all the man needs to do is to put in effort and be attentive, the appreciation will goes a long way :)

Changi Broadwalk

2011-06-26T00:44:00.000+08:00

Taken some time back in January. It was the 2nd time I brought my new tripod along ever since I purchased it. But alas, couldn't bear to plant it into the sand. Hence my kind companion offered to lend me his instead.
Point to remember, zip lock bags is a must next time.

ps: Since then till now, tripod is in the store room, lol.

N+J Wedding Day

The couple is so relaxed on their wedding day that makes you think getting married is such a breeze :)

Such lovely. Rare to come by nowadays.

No one can resist good food

Missing the assam laksa at Jonker Street.
Food that require more effort to get hold of usually somehow seems to taste better.

Blythe dolls taken @ Singapore Game & Comic Convention 2 years back. No other better time to start a new blog after my final year exams last week (keep my fingers crossed!).
