Portrait

I like photography.

Though I haven't got a digital SLR.

Though I haven't been photographing seriously for years.

Though I am not good at it (don't confuse passion with skill!). =P

I am particularly bad with portrait, as it requires social skill in addition to photography skill (see sentence above).

So when I was deciding about sending in a photo for portrait category, these are my immediate choices:





But I think they probably won't be accepted as portrait by conventional minds. =P

So I ended up sending in an edited version of this...



Just want to show off how cute my son is really. ^_^

Sleeping Beauty, part deux

Sleeping Beauty part one is like, a long long time ago...

Anyway, this is part deux, mainly of king number 2!

Alrighty, I will shut up now, this is going to be a picture-ful entry. =)


this is a comfy pose


I like my bolster


legs on bolster


I know kung fu!


I also have my "super hard pose" (refer to part one for king #1's)

So, what about king number 1?

Fear not, he has been setting example...


this is how you avoid the pillow and bolster!

Just Breathe

Breathe CK, just breathe.

Yes, take a deep breath.

That's it.

Now let go of all the work.

It's okay, you are not superman.

Go grab your supper, and read a novel to wind down.

It's time to rest.

Hopefully the tightness in your chest will go away.

"Talking to oneself is the first sign of insanity."

Good thing I am way beyond that.

Work/Life Balance

Booted the laptop, opened the programme as well as the document.

All set to go. The wearisome task of understanding and then translating codes to layman's terms.

Yet, for a long, long while, all I have done was staring at the screen.

Rational sense dictates that I should grab whatever time I have to get this done as soon as possible. Time is of the essence.

But the heart is not in it. It's bloody Sunday for goodness sake!

My inner angel and demon are duking it out while I sat there being assaulted by contradicting thoughts and emotions. Indecisive.

To work or not to work? That's the question.

Uno

If I missed my badminton session, you bet I have a very good reason instead of some lame excuses.

Things that could make me miss badminton include but not limited to: wife giving birth, being ill, out of town, important event of people I care about, wifey said so.

I am down with flu and sore throat, but that alone would not have stopped me from going to badminton today, it's for the important milestone event that I gladly came home straight after work.

You see, His Royal Highness King Baby Young turns one today. ^_^

Alrighty, less words more pictures!


Birthday presents!


Thanks for the presents!


Boink! And laughed since mama said "no, Young Young"


Enough photo already, put cake in here where I point!


da cake


Cutting the cake? Bah! Piece of cake!


I have pwned the cake, now we feast!

Better Place

Losing a loved one is never easy.

Losing one's mom is devastating.

My condolences, I am sorry for your lost.

I know no words of mine will ease your pain.

But I just like you to know that you have a group of friends who care.

Please let us know if we can be of any help.

Take care of yourself, Yann.

Hope you can find solace in knowing your mom is at a better place now.

Sign of Aging

Throwing a party is a lot more tiring than it used to be.

Even with the "easy way out" of getting fast food* and can drinks, with relatively little cooking and preperation done ourselves.
*KFC in Island Plaza took 20 minutes to serve two customers. Fast food, really?

Perhaps it's trying to keep up with those children with their boundless energy.

Perhaps it's the fatigue due to the recent crunch time.

Perhaps it's just me getting old.

Pretty darn sure the kiddo won't remember a thing about this.

But hey, it's an important milestone.

And yea, the laughters of the children playing together were worth it.

Just the music I expected.

Thanks for making this happened, you know who you are.
