In one Spanish class, our teacher Alejandra posed a question: How did you meet that someone important in your life? For those who have kids at home, you must have been bombarded by soul searching questions like this. What a way to relive your childhood. As for me, attending a Spanish class is as close [...]

My Dog and My Family, One Day at a Park
May 24th, 2009 11 Comments
I wonder if any of you remember precisely what you did during the New Year Day, or on that day, what has gone into your mind. I didn’t. As I processed my digital mountain worth of photo backlog, the timestamp of this particular photo collection tells me that on New Year Day, my family took [...]

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 [...]

Here is the thing, I am lousy when it comes to Chinese tradition. Maybe I shall read more Chinese literature, maybe I shall date a … or maybe I shall just talk to my parents more. We can talk about the six Chinese wedding etiquette here. But if you are more of a visual person, here is [...]

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.

Final Leg of Our SG-Bandung-SG-Hong Kong-SG Holiday
January 3rd, 2009 16 Comments
Blue sky came with a price. As the blanket of thick cloud finally got lifted in our last few days of stay in Hong Kong, the temperature dropped dramatically.
