Elated

I am elated! Remember this picture of the white-haired old man and his companion at Loch Lomond in Scotland that I said was my favourite picture during my trip to Scotland last year? I saw this Canon competition in 8 Days and submitted this same picture. My picture was picked as one of the top 10 photos! :) I am delighted to see this when I came home tonight! Please vote for me. My contestant number is 1. Voting details below.

Thanks much! :)

Pink Overload

If you have carried my handbag before, you must be wondering why it's soooo heavy, some say it weighs at least a few kilos and though I have never weighed it before but I believe so too. Haha and I like to think that I carry the most essentials (or at least in my opinion). =P Here's a snapshot of what's in my bag if anyone is interested to know that is. Hehe and I think the first thing you will notice is "It's sooo pink". It was never meant that way, I am not one who goes for matching everything but it just happens that I bought these things at different occasions and no doubt I like pink so... ;) The bag always feels like it weighs a tonne! Not to mention I still have a bag organiser which a colleague got for me from Taiwan and a handbag that's quite heavyy too.

The bestie and godson took off 2 Sundays ago. The 'lil boy somehow sensed that something's happening and was not quite himself during the day. He didn't laugh like he did during his last shower in grandma's, clung on to mommy and later daddy so tightly and refused to let go. Only when I took out the iPad till he let loose a little. We all miss him so much. His smile and laughters...shall visit soon!

Jeston came over last weekend and had a great time playing wii with the hub till he doesn't want to go home! The hub's like his best friend!

Jeston's favourite character in the Super Mario Kart game. Luigi. Haha he likes everything green!

Had so much fun with the app in my iPad that churns out photos like this! Love the randomness of the app and the many fun photos I get!

Have a good week! =D

A New Lens

I am sooo glad the weekend is here and it's Singapore's 44th Birthday on Sunday so Monday's a public hols! More time for my photography, baking and sewing! Not forgetting catching with family and friends!

Anyway, I have bought a new 50mm prime lens with a UV filter and can't wait to start shooting away. While looking around for things to shoot at home, I found this bottle of wine that Sun gave me for designing her namecards and decided to use it as my subject! Here's one of the shots. I can't wait to take more photos with it when little Jeston comes over tomorrow and in Bali next week!

Featured...

In the past month or so, I was busy with taking photos for a friend's food business as mentioned in one of my previous entries. In the latest issue of U-Weekly, there was a feature on Cantonese food and her shop was one of those picked to be featured in this supplement and I am glad that my amateur food photos appeared in the feature! =)

I certainly hope this feature (and the photos) will bring increased traffic to her 3-month-old shop!

It's been a while...

It's been almost 3 weeks since my last blog entry and I wished I had more time to bake or craft something. I have been busy helping a friend who has just started a food business take photographs for her menu and posters as well as doing up these collaterals.

It was challenging but an interesting experience playing around with the food layouts and "props" and setting up my DIY lighting tent with a box, white cloth and table lamp. Great for taking pictures of small objects indoors without any daylight. Definitely not the best pictures with my limited lens but at least something for her to start with. Here's one of the pictures, more can be found on my food blog (shall not turn this entry into a food writeup).


I wish I have some bakes or crafts to show you but stay tuned, I will be back soon with these, the things I miss doing so much! My KitchenAid is sitting on my kitchen top, telling me to use it everyday I walk into the kitchen. =)

Have a good weekend everyone!
