Letting Go

Yep, I need to give up this blog. I haven't been updating this regularly, and I'm finding it easier to update my other blog than this one.

I still want to post more of my artworks, and I've got some projects that I plan to start by September of this year, but I'll be posting them here:

I had great memories via this blog, and I discovered an amazing lady --> yep, that's you bonnie :) I'll continue following your blog, I couldn't help it! I love your posts :)

So, for anyone who visited my blog (accidentally or not), you can find me in my other blog :) Stay happy!

I couldn’t sleep, and we couldn’t go out to take pictures today because we have mountains of laundry to finish. So I thought I’d revisit my old shots and see if I can do something more creative with it. I discovered one amazing photographer over the weekend, and was inspired by his creativity and fresh take on things like composition and post-processing. He decided to let go of all the rules and trust his instinct, and it worked out great for him. His photos are eye-catching, tasteful, unexpected, minimalist yet dramatic.

Durians! I haven't tried one yet. I didn't like the durian candy or the durian puff so I'm not so sure if I'd like the fruit. But this is definitely in my "to try" list. I've been living in Singapore for 3+ years, I HAVE to try this.

Last February 14, Jaydee surprised me with a Panasonic GF1, and I've been taking pictures since then :) Now I wish I got into photography stuff much much earlier! Jaydee and I were hooked! (I bought him an Olympus EP-2 the day after).

I've been posting my photos in my flickr page, and some selected photos in my other (older) blog http://allmyreasons.wordpress.com. I thought I'd share some here too :)

This was one of the paintings in the Thai restaurant where we had a farewell lunch for one of our teammates who's leaving the company. The food was good, the company even better!

canon g11 test shots

finally got ourselves a camera :) we couldn't decide at first whether to get the 500d or the g11, but after watching the youtube demos of the 500d, we realized we're not ready for it. it's also quite bulky compared to the g11. not to mention very expensive hehe...

after shooting a few pictures, we decided we're happy with our camera :) it's not so big, not so complicated, and takes good pictures!

this is our neighbor's plant... i wish i can grow healthy plants like she does, but after a couple of "dead" plants i don't think i have the green thumb. i was even dreaming of growing my own herb garden in our kitchen :(

this one's mine, and still alive. it was a gift from our neighbor so i think he has a good chance to grow forth and multiply.

i was experimenting with the aperture setting on this one. i still don't know what it means.

jamie oliver's concertina squid minus the parsley and the mint leaves. i never cooked squid with potatoes before, but this is quite good! i'll do this again with the complete ingredients. i'm going to try his other recipes too :) we already tried his lasagna with roasted pumpkins and it was really good! we never imagined that lasagna would taste great with pumpkins.

i'm still here!!!

just keeping the blog alive!

today was my last day with EDS... i'm a bit down because i know i'll really miss working there, but i just need to know where this other path leads to.

ok, since i'm starting with a new job, i feel like making a resolution: i will try to post more often! and i will try to paint all those images that i have in my head. i think i already mentioned that somewhere in my previous posts...
