Working Hard

On the Durian (See large)
I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, [...]

Juicy Bits

Here’s today’s picture for the soul, and a quotable quote.

A Wrong Turn
Many times we make decisions in life that causes us to face consequences. It might seem as though accidents and challenges pose a great obstacle, but it is through such madness that we learn. And that’s the beauty of it all.

They’re funny things, Accidents. [...]

Bukit Timah Primary School Open House 2008

With the theme of “Olympics with Fun”, Bukit Timah Primary School had their annual fun day and open house today. I was invited to have a short visit by Xin Ting, so I decided to lug out the black metal and glass.

In memory of Koh Kai Yan

An ex-student of Nan Hua passed away last night… And I just wanted to have this post dedicated to her. Though I do not know her personally as a friend, but still, a fellow Nan Hua-rian she remains. She hails from Class 401 (2006), and is the girl on the far right in the first [...]

Makeshift Photo Studio

With a stack of crumpled mahjong paper, a kobold lighting kit, and my standard camera gear, I set up a makeshift photo studio this afternoon with the help of XJ, Amelia, Wentong, Kristle, Mohsen and Libing.

The Wannabe
The aim of the studio lighting setup was not only to bring out the highlights of the backdrop, but [...]

Trimedia Madness

Working in Trimedia can be wacky at times. Mohsen apparently found a stray kitten on campus, and rescued it from the clutches of death. Nevertheless, this kitten is now safe and sound in office, and is named Butter.

He kind of reminds me of Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty…
What else can be wacky? [...]

Documentary Production Equipment

This year’s the last time I get to work with all the sophisticated video equipment from school. Looking back in time, I realise how much I love these black heavy guns and weaponry.

Full Moon

We are here and it is now. Further than that all human knowledge is moonshine.

The Joy of Giving

It was yet another 24 hours for others, but to me I guess it was a special day. Despite all the sleep loss I’ve gotten these past few days, 12 July was special and I had to wake up early.
It was a day of giving. Literally. I was in the town area looking for a [...]

Memories

Just got reminded of the good old days with SYD. I remember spending over an hour on the beaches gazing at stars and posing for this photograph. It took them almost an hour to get it right, but the effort paid off…

KISS

My lecturer showed this video during class today, and I really think its super touching. As a photographer myself, I think the sense of sight is one of the most important. And for someone to give that up for a loved one, it really really really inspires me.
