Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. For the single guys out there, may the space rabbit grant you a ticket to moon and meet the immortal maiden, Chang’e. As for me, I have waited long enough and have decided that someone from Earth would do. Talking about the moon, today Cynthia and I have visited the Hong [...]

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 [...]

Delivering the Wedding Gifts the Traditional Chinese Way (過大禮 / 过大礼) … In the Modern Day
January 30th, 2009 10 Comments
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 [...]

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 [...]

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. This morning, I was greeted by a cool chilly temperature of 11-degree Celsius. I kept sneezing not used to the cold weather. Tonight, as I am [...]

Looking Back on 1997
December 25th, 1997 No Comments
Another Christmas day, alone on my own. The background music? Well, “Do they know it’s Christmas”. Looking back the year of 1997. A lot has happened. Far too much. But I have to write them down. What’s life without memory? Good or bad, they make up our past. Hopefully, we can learn something out of [...]

Left Hong Kong and Now in Jakarta
June 22nd, 1997 No Comments
Two weeks in Hong Kong and that has been gone. Not exactly enjoyed for two weeks. Sick for a week and how does that count? Jakarta (first impression) seems not as bad as I thought. Must be the ultra low expectation to begin with. The days are long and we shall see. A faint sense [...]

It’s Father’s Day, Can We Stop Arguing?
June 15th, 1997 No Comments
Father’s day. Started off pretty good. We went “dim sum” together. Only that my sister was late for half an hour. Mum was late for one hour. Dad wasn’t very happy. But that is just Dad, he is never happy. True enough, we had a big argument over one small thing. Dad was trying to [...]

The lunch was as exciting as expected.

Amy and Janet both have short hair. Must be the fashion of to date. Herman and Yvonne seems to [...]
