Hobby



My latest toy - Strike Gundam SD

Actually assembling robot figurines not only satisfies my interest in Gunplas, but these figurines make good photo shoot subjects. These Gundam toys from Bandai (please get only the original ones, and not from Bandei or Bundai or Bandee because those imitations lack the precision and touch) are really flexible. The one you see here is from the SD series, hence it's short and stout (but cute can?). There are also HG (high grade), MG (master grade) and PG (perfect grade) Gundams. The higher the grade, the higher the difficulty level of assembling it, but on the plus side, there will be more agility in your robot.

Angel



This is a photo of my best buddy, Steven and his lovely daughter Chloe.


You close your eyes and I have to check to make sure your still breathing.
You open your eyes and look at me and I feel the innocence and love radiate from your very being.
You are the purest of all souls, the untouched, the ultimately loved.
You are free from pain, from hardships, from lie, from anger.
You are a free soul.
Unchecked by greed, by wrongdoing, by sin.
You are everything good.
You are the smallest part of me, but the biggest part of my heart.
You are.
You are mine.
You are.
You are a tiny, just born baby.

爱玉 from Taiwan



I guess most of you have not heard or seen this fruit... Yeah, it is a fruit. One glance it sure does look like a fruit with sesame seeds. After being processed, it does look something like 仙草 (cincau) except it's transparent.

Anna & Jin & Happily Ever After... - Part 1

3rd Jan 2008 - My first wedding assignment since I got my baby. It has been almost half a year now since I got my baby and this is only my first assignment! Can you believe it?

Well actually it's not an official assignment. Anna (my exclassmate in secondary school for 6 years) was kind enough to let me snap photos of her BIG day. Thanks Anna!

And thank God that me and Allen were not the official photographers that day because both of us actually woke up late on that day. I had to settle some stuffs at the Simpang Tiga police station on the night before Anna's wedding. I only went to bed at around 3am. The makeup session starts at around 5am and we missed it completely! -_-"

When Allen and I arrived at Anna's house, I think the ji mui (sisters) just finished having fun teasing the bridegroom and let her in to get Anna. (Missed that too....Bummer!)


Mr and Mrs Chong


Anna - the lovely bride


Tsong Jin - the dashing bridegroom


Anna's mom giving out ang pao - really a proud mom on that day and everyday!


Hand in hand, laughing out loud together...Aren't they a couple made in heaven?


早生贵子 - This is to grant them prosperity and bear children ASAP. So Anna and Jin, work on it!


Anna's so elated under the red umbrella...ella....ella....eh...eh....


Wedding Carriage

So they settled for some breakfast and photo sessions before leaving for the bridegroom's house for the marriage and tea rituals.


Anna is waiting for Jin to step into the car... (I heart this photo!)

And off they go...



More pichas to come in Part 2 of Anna & Jin & Happily Ever After - Coming soon...
