PPP – Personally Painful Programme

I had my PPP – Professional Preparation Programme (Not Personal Painful Programme, I was kidding.) today from 9am to 230pm. It was not exactly pure torture, but the topic was completely irrelevant to my studies. Who would want to know about how to dress to work at a bank? I won’t even be working in [...]

Drum Xchange Singapore Performance

Talented drummers turned up for a Drum Xchange Performance at Hong Kah West Community Centre last night, entertaining their audience with a spectacular rocking medley of drum beats. Be it solos or “duets”, the musicians cooked up a storm at the community centre, drawing the attention of the neighbourhood and bringing life to music.

BBQ under my umbrella

Met up with a nice big group of real nice friends for a BBQ last night, but the weather was definitely not too good. It rained quite heavily as we were bbq-ing, and thanks to our quick-wits, we managed to continue cooking, under our umbrella.

Escape!

It’s not easy to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city; seriously not many places to go to for nature shoots. As such, I ended up at the Botanical Gardens yet again today with XJ.

Bukit Batok / Jurong Town

The name Jurong is probably derived from the Malay word jerung, which means a “shark”. There were, however, no sharks around today when I took a short stroll around the dear town. Instead, there was a carnivorous bird.

Life and Death
The last time I shot such a scene was when I first got my DSLR… You [...]

Chinese New Year Day 5 (After-effects)

Every time Chinese New Year comes to an end, I have an itch to spend a considerable amount of money on new toys or gadgets. Last year it was the Nikkor 50mm f1.8 ($100+) and the Nikon Speedlite SB800 ($600).
This year, I’m tempted to purchase the following: Nikon D300($2.8k), some Nikon lens, possibly the [...]

Chinese New Year Day 4

Oh animals also celebrate Chinese New Year, and today I met Terence’s Chinchilla. It’s faster than a speeding rabbit, more hyper than an active hamster and very much nocturnal.

Chinese New Year Day 2

Which Chinese New Year is complete without the annual tossing of yusheng? This year’s tossing was quite chaotic, and gosh, even my Ah ma had to take cover.
