In response to The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: “Local.” “Local” means enjoying the same kind of food because food is a national pasttime in my country. The traditional nanyang (South China Seas) breakfast consisting of roti (bread) with kaya (coconut milk stewed with sugar and pandan leaves to form some kind of jam spread), guyu (butter…

In response to The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: “Magic.” “Children have the ability to believe without bias, to find wonder even in the most mundane of places and objects,” says Jen on The Daily Post. They have found wonder for me a thousand times and they will a thousand more. In this photo, a…

In response to Sylvain LANDRY, SL-Week 26: DOF. Depth-of-focus (DOF) is a part of photography that marks the limitations of man-made lenses in capturing light or nature. Many people have learned to turn DOF into his/her advantage. Directors often use DOF to dramatize plots in movies and TV serials. Photographers also used DOF to emphasise…

In response to Cee’s Photography, Share Your World tag. Happy New Year to one and all! Best wishes to everyone. Tell how you are feeling today in the form of a weather report. (For example, partly cloudy, sunny with a chance of shower, etc.) Clear! Sunny in a way, but not hot at all. No…

In response to Cee’s Photography, Share Your World tag. I participated in Share Your World – 2015 Week #51 about three days ago but I saved some questions for a later date.

In response to Cee’s Photography, Share Your World tag. I have enjoyed completing the Share Your World so much because the structure allows people to get closer to each other. For example, I found out that Cee prefers having clean clothes over bathing, and that this is only imaginable if one lives in dry weather.…

I have watched Christmas lights and decorations every year since I learned of their existence some two decades ago. I have indeed enamoured for decorations beneath the Christmas trees this year. The photo below shows a gorgeous Ferrero-Rocher-like set-up under the tree at Millenia Walk. And the picture below shows the actual Christmas tree. I…

In response to Sylvain LANDRY, SL-Week 24: Machines. Landry asked for machines that could be unbelievable and frightening. I think that would be The Large Hadron Collider. I saw The Eye of Sauron when I faced this machine. I stood rooted to the spot in the museum trying to grapple with the number of electrical…

In response to Cee’s Photography, Share Your World tag. What would be your ideal birthday present, and why? Going out with my family/loved ones/friends. The perfect birthday gift is to be happy. When I was young, I went out with my family every weekend, so I associate spending a day out with meaningful people as…

In response to Sylvain LANDRY, SL-Week 23: Narrow. I am most impressed with the way Landry injects meaning to the word “narrow” with the interpretation, “It must feel the weight.” I have never thought of “narrow” as a feeling before. Inspired by Landry’s unique and insightful perspective of “narrow,” I ransacked my stash of photographs…
