And so the doctor turned to my sister and her husband and said, “Here’s your little princess”. Oh happy day. Time flies. The whole process comes and goes. I wonder when will I get to bring my little niece to the zoo and eat ice-cream.

On My Birthday We Visited Medan Ikan Bakar at Malacca (Again)
July 11th, 2009 11 Comments
My observation on age as such: besides the age that you can legally have s … ahem … your own driving licence and the one that grants you lots of discount everywhere you go because you are senior, age is just a number that has little significance. Some achieve more than others at their age; some look [...]

My Sister’s Wedding in Singapore – Thank You For Your Warm Wishes
March 8th, 2009 14 Comments
It is amazing how pressure can propel us to do the seemingly impossible. I woke up this morning barely 8 hours after I shot the last photo of the evening and my parents were already pacing around my living room hinting or rather strongly hinting that they wished to take all the photos I have shot for [...]

River Hongbao 2009 Opening Ceremony – A Media Coverage
January 26th, 2009 18 Comments
I am honored to be invited as part of the media crew to cover the River Hongbao Opening Ceremony. Having no prior experience to cover event of such scale and significance, I followed closely to EastCoastLife, the president of our Association of Bloggers (Singapore), listening to her advice on who is who, what to anticipate, [...]

Featured in My Paper – Behind the Scene
January 21st, 2009 12 Comments
This must be the first time I see my Chinese name (黃健暉) printed on a local newspaper. I think my parents in Hong Kong would be happy if they read that. The first time I saw my English name printed on newspaper was back in the Project Eyeball era. How I miss Project Eyeball. The good old days. Had it [...]

Captured Moments of My Sister’s Wedding in Hong Kong (2008.12.28)
January 14th, 2009 23 Comments
Fortunately I was not the main wedding photographer. What hard work it was! With no control over light quality, background, and where everybody stands, I did the best I could. And I did the best I could with my first dSLR camera that was less than 2 months old and my non-existing knowledge of Photoshop. At times I [...]

What a Fruitful Year that Ends with a Bang: My Sister’s Wedding
December 31st, 2008 24 Comments
Out of over 7,000 photos taken with my barely 2 months old camera, if I could pick one picture as my Nikon moment, this is it. Friends of mine perhaps rarely see this look of mine that is ecstatically happy. And indeed I was and more, overwhelmed with emotion. I passed my camera to my [...]

Team Singapore Won BRANDS Blogger Challenge, And I Was There
December 4th, 2008 27 Comments
In the morning of the blogger challenge I woke up feeling fresh, popped one bottle of BRANDS, opened up the training kits provided, and started looking at the exercises while I was ironing my shirt. Sheylara has worked through all these exercises and more for the past 2 weeks. I flipped through the sheets of [...]

Our band photographer Mark Lim has just broadcast the photos taken during our band No Eye Candy’s 30 minutes live performance at Hereen last evening. It was his first concert shot and you have got to agree with me that these are great shots capturing the essence of our gig as well as the audience. Good [...]

The Hereen After – A Thank You Note
November 30th, 2008 16 Comments
Yes! Our band finally did it at The Hereen, a 30 minutes slot playing our own original music. I have practically put all my other plans on hold for this Nov 29 event. Being introduced as a local Singaporean band means a lot to me, though Jason the guitarist joked that my accent is not very [...]
