Graduation

I was present at the Nan Hua High Graduation 2008 last night to enjoy an eight-course dinner together with good old friends.

Backstage Work

Working behind the scenes is a task that many have to go through.
Before the limelight actually appears on stage for those in the frontline, it takes quite a lot of effort behind the curtains, behind the cold, double-layered glass. Dance, for example, may take a couple of months to choreograph, but only five minutes to [...]

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.

The Escapade

Today was my mum’s birthday, so my family went on a escapade around places which we haven’t been to for ages. We left the house at 10am this morning for the SAFRA Yishun Country Club – I’ve not been there for almost a year and a half. I brought along my camera, and the adventure [...]

Study Break

The semester study break is here. That does not mean holidays, however. I guess its just a simple break from school classes, but not projects.
