  • Cee’s Which Way Challenge: December 7, 2016 – Come, Come, Carnival

    In response to Cee’s Photography Which Way Challenge tag. Who doesn’t love a carnival? I recall sweetly how I would take the train ride, go through the haunted house, and play bumper cars with my siblings when we were young.

  • ​Traditional Breakfast from the South China Seas

    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 Golden Sun Shone

    In response to The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: “Shine.” “Has the sunshine or any other light source caused you to stop because it’s highlighting something you didn’t notice before?” Nancy Thanki asked on The Daily Post. Indeed, I turned back and made a detour when I caught a glimpse of the water reflecting the…

  • SL Week 26: DOF – Bits Of My Life

    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.

  • One Free Thing To Do Every Christmas

    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…

  • SL-Week 25: Macro – Tea at Antoinette

    In response to Sylvain LANDRY, SL-Week 25: Macro. Beautiful food will bring a curious hungry person closer. Let the yolk flow! Perfectly poached eggs top with shimmering hollandaise sauce is mouth-watering anytime. Complete the meal with over-the-top Antoinette (earl grey tea) cake, macarons, and tea from a European style tea set. Sweet macarons make a…

  • The Gecko Saw Me

    In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Eye Spy.” I must have been terribly close to the gecko because the gecko responded to my presence. Look at that eye! It was checking me out from head to toe. I must have been terribly brave because I held my ground and got more than…
