A photo GTG with Jon and JD


Met my photography buddies, Jon and JD at Chinese Garden for a photoshoot session. They were having fun with Infra-red photography while I dont have such hi-tech filters and thus was just toying with normal settings and trying to practice on my bokeh.

Many thanks to JD for also teaching alot of settings and methods for taking IR photog.

There are times when you need to make that decision which will affect you entire life. The below are the ones which I can think of

1. The schools that you enrolled
2. The gfs that you attached
3. The wife whom you got to marry
4. The companies that you engaged

All these will somehow affect you as being the decision making for Right or Wrong!

I still remembered the day when I received my new 30D! The joy was undescribable! Went to fetch Mei at her condo that afternoon noon and we went to AMK to have our lunch before stepping to MS photo to buy her new D50.

The deal was so good that Mei couldnt resist. $1188 for the D50, kit lens, 1G memory card and a UV lens filter.

Mei, welcome to the DSLR club! :-)

Sandwich Making Competition

The EHS community members just love to involve me in all of their events. Today, we had this Sandwich Making Competition event and I also dont know how the hell I got involved in this event and worst of all, I was teamed up with Tien An (our loud speaker, Finance manager) together with Jenni. Nevertheless, me very onz. I just go ahead and take up the challenge. Anyway, its just for the fun of it.

After gathering ourselves at the canteen at 12noon, my task was to prepare all the utensils and the presentation (got to learn alot from my wifey) and in total, we had 7 teams to compete with.

Lots of curious spectaculars crowded around the tables to view and to cheer. 20mins later, all contestants were asked to stop and the Judges, our MD, Chern and Jenny, the nutritionist were ask to interview and taste the sandwiches which we made.

I personally think our presentation was the best, not that I'm thick-skinned but many had said so. Taste-wise, I think ours was the best too caused we used carrot chicken beast meat, cheese sausages and lots of veggies and fruits for our product and speaking of nutritious, ours was also the best caused we used no salt butter, whole-meal bread and no dressing nor sauce. Now tell me, aint we the best?

Team mates in the progress making sandwishes

Ho! Result was announced shortly at 1pm. The winner was Lai Fun's team whom was also from IT. They won because they used homemade dressing, which was one of the criteria, which the judges were looking for. They walked away with $30 NTUC vouchers! WOW! We got consolation prize. Hey, no bad liao lah! :)

Nomore V-Power.

For most of the drivers, we all know that V-Power (from Shell) is the most costly petrol here in Singapore. Not only its the most expensive petrol of all, it also gives the abetter milage for your car and the most power and best of all, it cleans the engine when you drive. Because of the high cost, my company has just stopped us (the managerial level) from using it as one of the cost cutting measurement. Best of all, my HR did not even send out any memo regarding to this. WTF!

It makes me so embarrassed when I was filling my petrol at the woodlands shell petrol kiosk after work.


Had been using V Power since day1 for both my TT and the Cab. And now, I got to stick with 98.

The final episode for SFF (France)

It was the last episode for the Singapore Fireworks Festival for 2006 and we aint going to miss the world. With all our equipments, we walked from Ris Calton to Benjamin Shears Bridge to take the fireworks. We selected this location because I wanted some city skyline as the background rather than just the fireworks itself.

Quite a distance that we walked and when we were up there ard 7, the crowd was really bad. We hardly can see any space for our tripods. Luckily this chinese family able to squeeze out some space for us to place our tripods. We had a very good spot (middle of the bridge) where we could have a very good view of the entire city.

About 8, poor Jon came along. His dear wife dropped him at the opposite of the highway where he got to walked down the bridge, and came out from the other side of the bridge in order to join us. He was sweating all over. But the urge to take the good pictures aint going to stop him.

3 of us had a good view at the fireworks (tho its aint the best show but we aint complaining) and we are sure to come again next year.

Sunrise at Yishun Dam

Call us crazy but we are just wanna have fun with our Canon 30D. Me dragged aiai off the bed at 5.45am and we arrived at Yishun Dam just to capture those beautiful sunrise at the dam together with Jon and Aaron.


The beach was so beautiful when the ray shinning on the low-tide shore. Giving that glore on the sand. Daddy came by and he brought us to the inner side of the village where we saw old containers used as houses for the fishermen. Interesting senaries which we dont see on our daily lives.

After the photoshoot, together with Aaron, we drove to Kallang to have his favourite chee-chong-fun. Then we headed back home to take some rest so that we can continue our part 2 in the evening.

Friday Chillout at Changi Expo

We had our dinner at in-laws' place (always love mummy's cooking) before we pop over to our new kopi venue Changi Expo. Came to know this cool pub called Jazz Pub right at the middle of the expo. Some regular faces like Subbie, Chief, Ash all turned up for the kopi session and our new member, Jonzilla, was invited to come along too.

We left the kopi early as we had important mission to do. So we drove back home at 11pm and Aaron staying over at our place. Its time to get a set of clothes for Aaron to put in our guest room.

Want a free postcard?


Took this during the fireworks fest last Tues together with John, TeckLong, Edmund and Ben.

Singapore Fireworks Festival 2006




Right after our silra home service that evening, we drove to Lawrence's office at UIC Building to shoot the beautiful fireworks by Italty. About 10 of the Silra volunteers had join in the fun including John (from vagsg) and Ben.

Lawrence was so kind of him to let out his office and his conference room for the bunch of crazy photographers - us (Teck Long, John, Edmund, Me and Ben) all squeezing through that tiny windows to get the best shots for our photography. Tho it was half blocked by the NTUC building infront, nevertheless, we had lots of fun and laughters eating pizzas, sharing the fun times which we had during the show during the fest at Silra and also our upcoming mooncake festival coming in Sept.

Time to rock Esplande again this coming Tuesday for another great fireworks photoshoots.





7th month celebration @ Silra

After weeks of planning, finally, its SHOW TIME!
Displaying lots little hampers, lightings, stage, buffet and AV system, all ready to rock and roll for our Lunar 7th Month Celebration for the residents of SilraHome.
Lots of prizes for the residents to bid and also lots of performance to be entertainned by the volunteers.

Yes, I was ready. Waiting patiently for my turn to come, which happened to be the last performer. When my name was called, I walked up to the stage and started to shake my boo-boo. O-yeah! Strip them all to the last piece. The audiances loved it and I like it! Ha! Everything went smoothly except my limps were almost giving away. After the dance, I almost couldnt walk. Went up to the meeting room with aiai and I dropped dead on the chair for some cool aircon. Mine.. what a dance.
