the four wanderers
after alpha we went for dinner and chatted about the plans for our Christmas Concert. We want it to be smashing! Giving the best we have. Then we started to talk about all these crazy ideas about a cool venue. Then we stopped halfway and said “why don’t we ask God for it?” So we actually went to take a drive to find if there were any cool suitable spots like warehouses or...

shooting for LoveBonito! the girls and the models are all so fun to be with. haha it’s always such a good time there ;)
a sunday afternoon
surfing the web from my boyfriend’s macbook pro. whenever i take pictures using his laptop, the camera always makes it look like i draw eyeliner on my lower lid. weird, don’t know why. next week’s going to be a more relaxed week for sure. i’m taking a few days off (yes even though i work for myself, i find it terribly difficult to claim time off which is very much in...

selina and dinner
i’m posting this quick blog post before sel comes back next week which is one month from when these pictures were shot….haha
who stole the cookies?
i’m amazed at how people actually believe that i am very free and that everyday is a holiday being self-employed (if so I would not be awake at this hour getting my pictures uploaded). i’m mystified about the definitions people try to give blogging (a pie in my workload). so is the same or is it different (as print media)? and if i take photos as a hobby, does this mean i can never...

uniqlo top from japan (from ken), nicolethen boutique jeggings, warehouse cuff

alpha intro round two
pictures taken for my church’s alpha intro dinner! ok, that’s not all that happened…but that’s as far as i got with the editing. HAHAHA
Office Equipment Woes
Oh my goodness, who would have thought that replacing my laptop can give me so much emotional turmoil. Short term vs long term. Presentation aesthetics to clients? And my career choices determine how I spend my money too. Ahh I’m so confused, God help me!!
randoms part (II)
#1 rachel’s cheap monday tote (from that day we went photo-shooting) #2 house party favourites - toasted garlic bread#3 biscuits, because sometimes i need to finish my work and have no time to go buy or cook food so this comes in handy. i know, it’s not very healthy ok, off to get my parcels packed for posting # rose wine from france. felt a bit pukish after drinking it,...

sushi teh dinner
had sushi teh dinner with ken today before we headed over to the ARTS house to help Angie and her hubby with the wedding preparations. 5 minutes after we sat down, there was a long queue of hungry commuters. phew, thank God we arrived a few minutes early. we both ordered a bowl of ramen and enjoyed our share of sushi with green tea. i almost felt like i was in japan with it’s secluded...
“To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works...”
– at first when i read this verse i thought there was a grammer mistake. because it says “I labour” and then “struggling with all his strength” and i’m like, “shouldn’t it be my strength?” and then i went “oh…right…HIS strength”...

“I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Phillipians 4:13”
– this has to be one of my “go-to” verses. whatever challenges that i was facing, i always clung to this promise that it is true! i can do all things through my God who gives me the strength. depending on oneself can be stressful. and if I once had confidence in myself, sometime down the...

sunset at the beach
we were heading to my aunty’s chalet for dinner and as we walked there the sunset was so beautiful and the sunlight like a dream that i had to snap some pictures. dinner was really good too! bee hoon, chinese sausages, chicken wings, root beer and satay. yum :)
