I've been looking at the photos i have on fb, seems like i've been less and less motivated to whip out the camera in recent years.  maybe it's because i am jaded, or perhaps it's just pure laziness, but the new camera i bought a few months ago has been sitting comfortably in the drawer, not seeing the light of day.  i'm not even sure which drawer it's in, or whether it has already turned mouldy.  i know my boots have recently turned into a mould greenhouse...  i recall being trigger happy before, what has changed? i don't even like being photographed anymore, remember how i used to be a camera whore, gummy smile and all?  now it's mostly hao-e in pictures not just because i'm a better photographer, but also due to this reluctance i have to appear in photos.  i remember going through a phase of hating to be photographed when i was about 5 or 6 years old.  either i had my back facing the camera, or i was crying pathetically with mucus running down my nose, etc.  i absolutely detested taking pictures.  and then i went on a trip some crazy trigger happy cousins, who insisted on having solo photos for everyone at the same scene e.g. imagine - mountain in the background - if there were 5 people around, we would take 6 photos, 1 for the whole group, and 1 each for each person's personal photo album.  it took a crazy amount of time before we could move on, but the photos were really darn good.  i started to take photography more seriously and even joined a photography club in high school.  and then what happened?  i honestly am mystified myself.  

i must really put in an effort to enjoy photography again.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
