I Missed an Entire Month!!

Yes.. I didn't blog for an entire month.

A whole stash of photos from February to March are still waiting for me to process...

I was a little lazy but also was caught up with some stuff at work which for some reason now, doesn't really need my attention anymore. So, will have to realign my priorities. One of it is to get back to taking care of me and spending more time with my camera. ;-)

Another is to think about getting all my certifications done.

Anyway, will share more in the coming posts. One of it was the major disappointment I encountered on last Friday which had me going for some minor retail therapy over the weekend...

Have a Great Weekend...

Hope that everyone will have a relaxing weekend. It has been pretty hectic with the CNY holidays...

For me, things were pretty crazy just before the CNY break due to some software platform release my team was involved in. We're relieved that it's now done but now, the old cycle of innovate, improve, fix and deliver a working software platform is back.

We or at least, I should learn from both Rusty and Snoopy... They always take time out for an afternoon "siesta". They only bark when necessary and only exert energy when it's really needed (like chasing squirrels or birds).

Why don't I ever learn.....

年初一 Cuisine (CNY 1st Day)

GONG XI FA CAI!!!

It's finally the Year of the Rabbit. After the previous night's indulgence, we usually have something lighter on the 1st day of the Chinese New Year.

Happy Year of the Rabbit!!!

Wishing everyone a fantastic Year of the Rabbit!!

May it be a year of hopping joy, abundance, good health & luck for you and your family!

恭喜发财！

Called Home To The Lord - We Will Miss You Ian Tan

It was so sudden, so shocking. We hoped that it was someone else...

In Anticipation... Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!! Hope that 2011 will be a fantastic one for you all...

I've been a bit busy with work to pay any attention to blogging. I have tonnes of photos to edit too but haven't had time to work on it.

Wishing everyone a great year ahead....

Merry Christmas!!!

The Christmas tree is up and decorated.

The dogs are ready to party too...

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Blessed Christmas & Happy New Year!!!!

Twelve Days to Christmas...

Wow... It has been a busy December.

The Christmas decorations are up and I've been going around to take some photos...

Here is my favourite one so far.

Twelve days to go... Have you done your Christmas shopping?

Don't Skimp On That Filter

This certainly was a relief...

Never underestimate the significance of getting a UV filter for your lens.. I was glad that this protected my lens.

How did this happen? My "free" Canon bag strap broke earlier and it fell on the ground. The impact caused the crack.

Anyway, planning to get a Hoya UV filter to replace this.

All I can say is *PHEW*!!!

Shadows

I've been quite lazy to blog lately.

Looking at these photos isn't going to help either...

Cheap Eats @ Whampoa Drive

On my final day in Lion City, we both finally were able to find the hawker centre near our hotel.

Somehow, we both regretted not having gone to the place earlier...

EV's sister recommended Whampoa Drive's hawker centre to us for its famous rojak. We never got to try it as it opened at night. We both decided to pay a visit for brunch on our last day.

This was the first thing I spotted...

Universal Fun @ Lion City - Day 3

Finally.. I'm able to blog about my day at Universal Studio, Singapore.

It was a really really fun day.

Yellow

Just a preview of things to come...

I'm still in the midst of editing my photos... So many...

Universal Fun @ Lion City - Day 2

After a restless night, we had a relaxing late morning breakfast at the nearby Tuck Shoppe, which is just down the road from our hotel.

The cafe had the usual food - toast, soft-boiled eggs, curry/chicken rice and even wantan mee.

Structures

Just my attempt at learning to take some pictures of structures...

This is what I saw while passing under the Esplanade Drive to get to the Merlion.

Universal Fun @ Lion City - Day 1.5

After dumping our bags at the hotel, we decided to grab a quick bite before deciding our next destination.

We dropped by the Balestier Road Market which is just down the road from our hotel to grab a quick bite. I decided to order chicken rice and kway chap. I had kway chap when I was in Kuching previously and liked it.

Universal Fun @ Lion City - Day 1

I'm still editing my numerous photos.

Some of you have inquired about the size of the room I was staying while in S'pore. Anyway, I'm uploading a few pics here for you to have a look. It is quite hard to estimate the size in images but I will describe it in words. :P

Best Pop Corn Ever!!

We discovered this pop corn while shopping at Hershey's World at Resort World.

There was a significant queue at this shop. When I went in, it turned out to be  Garrett Popcorn.

The shop had cheese popcorn as well as some other interesting favours such as butter/plain, pecan and cashew on top of the usual caramel.

It is MARVELOUS!!


I love the savory taste of the cheese popcorn. If ever, you're visiting Universal Studios or Sentosa, do get a bag of these.... it is really worth the wait.

I went for a medium bag of Mixed Chicago - cheese + caramel.

Room with a view... of sorts

A short post as I'm blogging from my mobile..

My hotel room is small but comfy. It's one of the new budget hotels around SG. I often wonder if the hotels in Japan are smaller?

Anyway, its good training for me should I plan a trip to Japan next year...

Photo-shooting has its ups and downs due to the cloudy & hazy weather. I often wished I bought some filters but hopefully can be fixed in post-production.

Lots of photographers around...

COWs Update - 14 months

Time passes by so quickly.

I could remember almost a year ago when the little COWs were just learning how to adapt to their new environment.

Now, they can do almost "adult" tasks...
