1st Month Prelude
Yay, 1st picture with my god daughter and her mum.
Slim's looking totally radiant.
Kster's looking totally chao da in comparison.
Oh and spot the 50 bucks in my hand.
Part of the $888 for Shanice.
More pictures after I've done sorting them out.
300 Wedding Days photos and 300 photos of Shanice's to edit,
2 great reads waiting for me,
1 itinerary to complete,
1 power slide to touch up.
I think I'll hole myself at Wild Honey tomorrow.
Whee.

Weekend 104
This long weekend has been great so far.
:)
It's been a while since I walked down Orchard road on a Friday afternoon, lavishing in the busking sun.
With a cup of Häagen-Dazs Dark chocolate in tow, I was contented.
The simple luxury in life. Heh.
Saturday morning is now filled with the sun and the sea.
And I foresee a very tanned me.
Blessed with very fun-loving rowers, I'm looking forward to the new journey.
:))
I was fortunate to be part of the celebration for B and A's ROM.
And what made it more fun was the appointment as the 2nd Photographer of the day.
Gave me a valid reason to snap whenever, wherever, without getting stared at.
I took a hundreds of them, and still in the mist of editing.
Here's a few prep picture of the bride I love.
And she's really pretty.

I've picked up reading again (after a long hiatus when I was buried with work).
This book is a gem, and I'm so loving it.
Today's a special day and I'm well equipped for the little special one.
More photos awaits.
And I Cant wait!

:)
:)
Trattoria's a great place for a quick lunch of pizza, soup and salad. Love the setting of the place.
It started to dawn on me that I'm not young anymore. (Yes, I know I'm reminded ever so often by my pals. It just refused to sink. Ha.)
J's brother and girlfriend are 8 years my junior??!
8 freaking years!!
Hanging out with them reminded me of the times when I tagged along my sister and her-then-boyfriend-turned-hubby around town when I was still a Sua-Ku kid 8 years again.
Glad to know that they are just different from the kids (Damn, I'm qualified to call them kids already. Gawh!) you see on Orchard Road these days.
Down to earth, they totally are.
Very cute and innocent too.
:)
After reading quite a few reviews on Wild Honey @ MG, decided to pop by and I'm so glad we did.
Though it's a tad expensive, I guess the food + ambience + friendly boss totally made up for it.
Definitely No place like home.

They served all day breakfast from all over the world. I love my Scandinavia Breakie with grilled Salmon, roasted rosti and asparagus!
We were camwhoring outside the restaurant and the very friendly owner, Guy (hope I got it right), came over to say hello! So Pea in a Pod took a picture for us.
:)
Me think it definitely worth a second (or even a third) visit.
I'm going to psycho my pals to go there and have breakie with me every other day!

OK MON IS HERE.
So is the blues.
BYE!

Canon(s)
I likey very muchy.
:)
1. Norah Jones' -The Fall is on repeat mode on my itunes.
2. My 1st Generation Ipod Nano refuses to sync with my mac, which is pissing me off. Me thinks Iphone is going to complete me!! But I dont think Singtel* is ever going to waive off that 100 bucks. So completeness of me has to wait. Damn.
3. Google came out with Gphone. Maybe I should wait awhile more before completing myself.
3. Michael Buble's 'Call me Irresponsible' is so ringing in my head.
4. Both Avatar 3D and Sherlock Holmes were great watch. Dr Watson aka Jude Law is BOOMZ.
4. I want to watch 'Old Dogs' and 'It's complicated'. Meryl Streep and Steve Martin rock socks! And maybe 'Did you hear about the Morgans?' for SJP and Hugh Grant.
5. Just did a run today since donkey years. Hello Sundown in 6 months time. :)
6. Need to remove my peeling manicure before I hit the bed. It looks pretty gross out.
So random, I know.
Ok off to my Pandora.

Marina Barrage - In Motion
One of the favourite photos from Marina Barrage.
Taken when the sun was about to set.

Marina Barrage - In HDR
Went Marina Barrage to test out the wide angle lens with Mr and Mrs Tan.
Great weather today and I was trying the HDR effect that I read about somewhere.
But lo and behold, the final picture takes up 130mb on my HD (which is depleting at an exponential rate).
I do like the effect, but the disk space is too high a price to pay.
And I think it will make my Maska puke bytes too.
If I keep HDR-ing, that is.
Probably my 1st and last attempt at it, until I find a more space-saving method to get the HDR effect.

Street Photography
I've not been using the kit lens since forever.
It turns out to be not as bad as I've thought it is.
But then again, I think the dry cabinet is still a good place for it to be.
:P
Streets of Singapore.
Back alley brings a nostalgic feeling.

2010
It's been a while since I did collages. I guess I'm so in love with Flickr/Iphoto that I abandoned CS4 for a while. Heh.
Anyway, christmas was great.
Surprises are always good.
:)
Met up with the girls for a post Christmas cum Birthday Celeb for our Dec baby.
Food at Brotzeit was yum! Love the sausages.
Pardon some of the not-in-focus pictures.
Limited working distances at Brotzeit.
But Sh certainly did a great job on me revealing my present, courtesy of Missy Qh.
I'm not disgusted (3rd pic, 1st row), I'm just abit surprised (1st pic, 2nd row).
I'm happy with my secret santa's choice (3rd pic, 2nd row).
Bleah.
But I really like my expression there. (2nd pic, 2nd row).
2 more days of HOLIDAY before a month of intensity at work.
And then a getaway awaits, before a whole new journey begins.
Hello, 2010.
:)
