In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Half and Half.” Half and Half is such an interesting concept because it transcends different fields and industry. In this post, I am going to take Half and Half into the world of beauty and makeup. The beauty industry is not new to the concept of dividing…

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Half and Half.” The saying goes, “One-half each and the relationship will not sour.” This line is a translation from part of the lyrics in the popular Hokkien (a dialect of Chinese) song, One Half. There is also the version sang by a stage singer, Liu…

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “ROY G. BIV.” I remember repeating the colours of the rainbow over a long period of time, actively attempting to memorise the colours from red to violet, and recite them backwards from violet to red. I repeated the colours of the rainbow in Mandarin, “红 (hong)，橙…

I also love orchids because they always look like beautiful ladies dancing elegantly in the wind. This flower below sure looks like a beautiful lady. I am not sure what the species is, but I like…

In response to Nancy Merrill Photography‘s A Photo A Week Challenge: Perfect Sky. If there is a type of view which I am more mad about than sunset evenings, it will be the sky. No amount of words can express how head over heels I am with skies, so I will let the photos below speak…

This flower looks like the variant of a sunflower – with florets in the centre and many petals radiating in perfect symmetry around all 360 degrees. This flower even looks like it has pollen grains at the time of the photo! EDIT: This flower has been verified to be an Osteospermum with common names, African…

In response to Cee’s Photography Which Way Challenge tag. I looked out the window and saw this whimsical clockwork standing in the middle of the busy roundabout. This sight was surreal for it is a bizarre mix of dreamy fairytale clocktower juxtaposed with dusty city reality. This is the view from one of the rooms of Metropole…

I love white, and so I could not help taking a photo of this little white flower growing in a bush by the overhead bridge. I love how perfectly symmetrical the five petals grow. I love the apparent female pistil with tiny little stigma and style. I love the ten miniature stamen with pretty yellow…
