Colour



Colour is my atempt to play with colours and composition. Instead of putting the subject matter in the middle, I placed it on the left side, set my focus and re-adjust my composition.

Nature and Live 1



There is a bushy plant outside my apartment that has been a frequent nest for pigeons. Every 2-3 months, there will be a pair of lover come by and start building their family. From what I have read, pigeon mate for live. The lover will take turn to sit on the eggs until it hatch. I will be shooting a series of a live giving birth and this is my first one.



I hope the eggs will survived. There have been a few times the eggs died. Not the pigeons fault. Whenever there is a thunderstorm, the parents have no choice but to leave the eggs and take shelter from the thunderstom. In the end the eggs died from cold weather. This is mother nature, this is live.

Sunlight



My another atempt to capture the reflection of a sunlight dropped on a plant.

Shape And Shadow





After a long silence, I finally took out my camera and try shooting again. This is my first atempt. I realised that after 6 years of 'retiring' from photoshooting, I have to re-learn my skills. Not to mention nowadays everyone has moved to d-SLR. I have a lot to catch up.


For Shape and Shadow, I try to capture the texture of a coconut shell under the sunlight. The lights create different shapes and shadows when it shine on the texture.

Breakfast

Time past. People changed. It's good to know that men have evolved from the traditional king of the house aka MCP to a much humble, sensitive and down to earth guy. They have feelings and not afraid to show or share it. I'm not talking about all men but a minority sensi-guy.



Besides my friends, I seldom see any male who could change or improve my view point at men. Until on a fine morning, I came to work and noticed that everyone is in the kitchen. Thinking that is one of those days where everyone is having breakfast together, I go about doing my own business. Putting my bag down I rearanged and cleaned my desk after a month in training.



Suddenly, one of my colleagues approached me and invited me to the kitchen for breakfast. I was about to decline when he said that he cooked 2 pots of fried noodles. For a second, I thought I was hearing things so I asked again. He replied saying that he cooked 2 pots of fried noodles at 5am so everyone can have breakfast. What a guy. I have never seen any guy who is willing to wake up before dawn and fried noodles for 50 odds colleagues. That is really nice of him to do that. Indeed, the noodles was delicious and everyone has a big portion of it. Everyone dug in and the pots were empty in no time. Those who reached the office after 9 didn't get to eat because it was all gone by then.



What a tasty day.

A Very Expensive Wood



This is a display of art in my office. It is made from a piece of rotten wood that was eaten up by termites. Then, it was assemble on a piece of metal to hold it. The precious work of art cost over 1k.



Imagine that. It cost an arm and a leg

A Blissful Week

What a rejuvenating week it has been. No work and worries. Weather was good. Well almost, despite the occational light showers during some days but overall it was a peaceful week. Woke up on cosy days and breakfast on my bed.



There were not much people on the street, the malls were not as crowded as normal days, the cinema was half full, it felt like a peaceful and tranquil city to live in. How I wish it can be like this forever. Unlikely. I should enjoy the moment.



For city dweller like myself, it was a best time to hang around the city. No need to jostle around when I walk on the street. No bull fighting with other female over a cheap bargain. No squeezing around couples who love to stand in the middle of a walk way while they decide where to go from that point. No long queue at the cashier. No queueing outside a restaurant for a place to sit. It was a bliss.



On normal days, it usually hard to decide what I want to purchase with all the commotion around me but that week, I did a fruitful shopping. My mind was clear, my heart was light. Like any female alike, I shop. Shop till I drop as the saying goes. Bought my facial products, a shirt and a pair of shoes. Watch some movies with my friends and sister. Bought some movies to watch at home. In fact I was very content watching one of my favourite series, CSI NY session one in the comfort of my home.



Indeed it was a blissful week.
