Post-Xmas...

Belated Merry Xmas... and an advance Happy New Year!!

I had a rather busy christmas period. Lots of shopping, photo-taking, movies and of course not forgetting the food.

23rd:
We visited the botanical gardens. Heard that there was some interesting christmas tree there so we decided to go there and take a look. There are many trees made and designed by various schools and organisations. However, the night lighting does not really differentiate them apart from each other.


The decorations on this tree make it look so magical.

After which, we stop over at Ion for a quick coffee break. We took some pictures before heading out to Marina Barrage.

Outside Lido Shaw


happily posing with my camera.. aint she just cute. hahahaha.. :P


my dad says she looks like she is advertising for starbucks. (after seeing a serious of pictures with the coffee..)


The wind was so strong that my pictures turn out so blurry. My tripod was even shaking at some point of time. Sadly, the only focused picture of the flyer is one where our faces are not in focus. It was my first attempt with night photography on tripod. Obviously i need lots of practice.

24th Christmas Eve:
Planned to go Bird Park but the bad weather in the morning disrupted the plan. Even in the afternoon, the sky was cloudy. We decided to play safe and give it a miss. Went to vivo in the evening to catch Sherlock Holmes. And then...


PARADISE... sooooo nice....

25th Merry Christmas:
Nothing much. Just dinner and movie. Watched the chipmunks.


The pizza is nice with the cheese and nacho dips. Very interesting and delicious taste.

27th:
Went for my first RT... It is kind of slack, i. Hopefully it is because it is the first session so it is more of an orientation session. If following sessions are like this, i doubt i can pass the test in 4 weeks time.

28th:
Just finished watching Buzzer Beat. And that explains my updated header picture. I cant exactly remember what the Japanese wording is but it goes something like "Work towards your dream, your number 1 fan". I felt that Yamashita Tomohisa is beginning to look like Takuya Kimura. In the drama, the clothes he wear and his charisma gave me that feeling. oh and there is definitely many scene of his "meat" for those drooling female fans.

Going off to cruise with family and dear in a few days time.. woooo.. hopefully the weather will be nice and it will be a wonderful and memorable trip.

xmas decor part 2

went down to orchard today to shoot while waiting for dear... apparently i only covered one side of the whole stretch of road... will go down again someday to cover the other side and of course, the night shots...


this one is the one outside ion. It is an interesting tree as you can actually go into the tree. It looks beautiful inside and i think it will look even better at night. No shots inside the tree as i was unable to re-produce the beautiful lights inside.


This year, they have many reindeer with different dresses. This is particularly picked as i cannot help but wonder if it is from Thailand. You know what i mean...


one random shot. I thought the lamp post look lovely with the ribbon. The Chanel at the background is an accidental surprise that complements the picture.




Part of the Ferrero Rocher tree... I personally like these 2 a lot.


I know this is not part of the Xmas decor but i find this figurine cute. I saw it while on my way out of the taka.


frosty the snowman...

after that i went to catch Mulan at bugis. The cinema is so old school! it may look old but you could almost imagine its swagger back in the good old days. Anyway the movie is not bad. Full of fire and passion. I find the last part of the movie slightly too draggy though.


My first night shot in bugis while waiting for dear...


a close up...


another random shot...

Finally i met dear for dinner at Ajisen Ramen. They had a change in menu... No more spicy miso and pork curry ramen... Ordered the pork kimuchi ramen which i did not particularly enjoy due to the ginger and the many vegetables...

Heard this nice song on my way back home...


That particularly sums up my day. I shall go catch some sleep before i start listening to too much emo songs...

on a day like this....

... when the price tags kill off all desires to shop...

i can only resort to collecting christmas trees and decors...


bugis...


inside bugis...


from soo keee....


inside suntec...


outside suntec...


outside raffles city... i thought it is an interesting tree which is different from the ones that they usually have..


outside raffles city... quite an interesting concept.. bling bling... they used that for the overhead street design thing too... did not managed to get a nice shot though. wonder what it looks like when it is being lighted up.


close up bling bling...

That is all for today. Will take another day to cover the town area.

Love Happens

It has been a long time since i last visited orchard. The christmas lightings are up!! It is about time to bring out my big camera and snap away. In fact, i planned to bring it out but i changed my mind at the last minute. Nevertheless, got some not-fantastic-but still-decent photos to share~~






dont you think that the japanese packaging make it seem so much more delicious?

Caught the movie "Love Happens" today. i have to say, it is rather disappointing. The movie is about this guy who writes a self-help book on coping with the loss of a loved one. The book turned out to be a hot seller and he held seminars to help people cope with the loss. However, the fact is he never did get over the death of his wife.

Other than a few tear jerking moments where they describe their feelings and how their loved one dies, the rest of the movie was quite bland. With the topic that the movie is touching on, i expected a much more sadder show. The best part of the movie is... JENNIFER ANNISTON! I still think she is hot.

Exams coming in around 2 to 3 weeks time. Time flies. Soon i will be back in camp for my re-service. And also the start of RT. Haiz...
