2 megapixels at a time…
I’m trying to see what I can do with my iphone. Sometimes I like it better than whipping out my camera because it’s less intrusive. Forget about hi-res, painstakingly edited shots. This is a picture blog with snapshots from random places.

under construction.

I feel like a tourist everytime I go home. There’s always something new to do/eat/see/play/being built. Everything’s constantly being updated or upgraded as the govt likes to put it. People taking night classes, upgrading of homes, vehicles, etc. And then there’s the construction of new buildings and resorts.
I’ve got 2 friends from the States visiting [...]

back in the garden city

after 30 hours (including layovers).
When I woke up this morning, it felt a little different. It’s like yea, I’m home. I’m gonna be here permanently. It’s not like I’m back for 2 weeks and I’m gonna be gone again.

this post is redundant.

ES says I write a lot of redundant things on my blog & emails. It’s actually a good reminder for me to think about what I write before hitting the post/send button too quickly so as not to cause any misunderstandings/offend anyone.

Wasn’t expecting much coz we were only flying for like [...]

inspired.

Yes, I’ve been inspired to do some designing. For fun. For myself. For good people. Sometimes the process is pretty challenging and nothing seems to be working. But the best results come when you’re having fun. And of course, it’s ok to fall flat on your face (as long as you pick yourself up after [...]

the result…

the pad thai didn’t turn out restaurant style, but good, nonetheless. I was surprised to learn that the millers were big jap anime fans. We ended up watching My Neighbors the Yamadas. Very funny.

strawberry picker.

This morning I woke up early and went strawberry picking for the very first time. Ha, think we picked 3 bushels of large strawberries in 30mins and then the feast started…
