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 [...]

Photos of Taman Safari Taken During Our Trip to Bandung, Indonesia

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 [...]

For My Parents With Love In The Beautiful Landscape of The Singapore Botanic Gardens
March 8th, 2009 10 Comments
My 74 years old dad said the funniest thing. He told me that these days when he went fishing, along the harbor of Hong Kong, young photographers often take him as their photo subject. And in his tone of reminisce he said, “When I was a young photographer I was doing the same. Now that [...]

Photos of Bandung North – De’Ranch, Maribaya, and Sapulidi (A Ranch, Waterfalls, and A Restaurant)
February 21st, 2009 18 Comments
As you may or may not know, the northern part of Bandung, Indonesia, is beautiful. Approximately an hour’s drive away from Bandung – the Capital of West Java – it is a place of foliage and waterfalls, ranches for the animals, and restaurants against the backdrop of natural serenity. I am not going to write [...]

(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 [...]

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, [...]
