Cynthia and I can hardly be qualified as seasoned or power travellers. Looking back on the first day of our trip, we were taking things very easy, exploring Barcelona in leisure as we went. Everything in Europe was a new experience. From the handling of euro currency to the transport system in Barcelona. And since [...]

My Early Photography Work on Fraser’s Hill
March 28th, 2009 10 Comments
Of the few highlands in Malaysia, Fraser’s Hill holds a special place in our hearts. It is tranquil, it is serene. November 2008 seems so distant. It was cloudy, rained most of the time. The same month when 2008 Formula 1 reached its finale. And this afternoon, I was glued to my TV watching the 1 hour [...]

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 [...]

Auditioning Female Models for Upcoming Brüttal (Lingerie) Fashion Show in Kuala Lumpur
February 5th, 2009 24 Comments
OK, enough of serious blog entries these days and I need something sexy, something light to spice up my life site. Believe me, it was a hard choice between: Staying in Singapore and accepting an invitation for a (free!) photo shooting session at the Singapore Zoo as well as to cover the finale of the River Hongbao [...]

(Perfectly) White Balanced Portrait Photos of Cynthia at River Hongbao
February 2nd, 2009 10 Comments
Though I have received one good suggestion from a good friend of mine that I shall host my photo albums elsewhere until I am good enough to have them hosted here in my website, I thought it is good to show y’all my journey thus far. Besides, I treasure constructive feedback from the seasoned photographers on areas that [...]

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 [...]

Facing Off Sheylara At Symantec Gaming Tournament – Hands-on with Norton AV 2009 Gaming Edition
January 28th, 2009 1 Comment
Previously, I teamed up with Sheylara on that blogger challenge of … erm … national significance. This time, I had to team against her at the Symantec Gaming Tournament. My first time playing a Counter-Strike lookalike network game. Sheylara had planted so many bullets on my back that it was no longer funny. And she [...]

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, [...]

Love Matters, But Does Jack Neo?
January 22nd, 2009 8 Comments
Apparently it does, Jack Neo is still one of the most celebrated film directors in Singapore. So we are invited for the Gala Premium of “Love Matters”. It is good that our team from the Association of Bloggers (Singapore) that is still at its infancy stage have the opportunity to meet up in a causal non-work [...]

Association of Bloggers (Singapore) – This Is Your Secretary Speaking
January 19th, 2009 37 Comments
Here is one secret of mine that no one knows except my mother. When I was young, I dreamed of being a bus driver. I would pace around my home in Hong Kong for hours imagining that I was shuttling my passengers around. Little did I know that instead, I would become a secretary one day. [...]
