Mother is acting very strange lately! Come to think of it. I think I mumbled something like, "Well, of course we need to invest for better photo quality. And the pictures turn out good right?" Crap. I knew I have to pay attention when people are talking to me on the phone! Lora – Yes, please send in confirmation. Mother is acting very strange lately!

However, as I didn't see what you exactly wrote yesterday when she mentioned, I could just explain based on guessing by common sense.

No wonder one day I got a call from mother and she acted very strange. She kept saying that I am very rich. Now I know! She said my lenses cost 20k and I thought she meant HKD. Even so, that is a lot of money. Maybe two lenses combined? Anyway, has she got the confirmation that I have not spent S$20k on that lens?! Lora – Wow … this is very hilarious!

Something funny to share with you...Yesterday I talked with mum on phone... She told me, 'Your brother have bought a lens that costs S$20K wor!!!' I replied with a laugh, 'No la. That's impossible.' She insisted and said, 'Yes, he did! He mentioned that on his blog and father read it.' I said, 'Oh really? No la... His lens can't cost that much.' She replied, 'But he did mention that by himself on his blog.' I reassured her, 'Shouldn't be la. Benny knows the price of his lens. It can't cost THAT much. May be the translation site translate the price wrongly.' Today, I logged in and checked which is the blog saying that. Haha! I think the translation site missed out 'I wish I have...'. :P Anyway, I don't believe that you would mention the price of your lens so publicly on your blog! hehe.. :P Oh Brother… Something funny to share with you…Yesterday I talked with mum on phone…

I was tempted to do another photo shoot on the moon last night. With the cloud, the mood looked mysterious. But unless I do some photoshop like others do to cut-and-paste the moon over some landscape images and make the moon looks much bigger, the cloud blurs out the details of the moon's surface. So I just admired the moon from a distance. Yes, very distinctive! Shyue Chou – You noticed it too eh? I was tempted to do another photo shoot on the moon last night.
