i love bokeh

I like taking pictures with shallow depth of field and have just what i want in focus.

Like the spider pic in previous post, i'm often amazed by the pattern of colours tt show up behind the subject of interest :)



Actually, our eyes do it all the time. But it amazes me to see the difference of near and farther vision captured in a photo.

Also, if u think abt it, our minds do it too in a more abstract manner. We sometimes see only what we want to see :)

Saturday, Happy day

If u've been reading this blog, it's prob nothing new to you that Saturday is my favourite day:)

Today i processed one more day of Taiwan photos which i will upload on facebk soon.

Here's 2 i quite like which are on flickr already :)





More photos to come soon! :)

I miss Taiwan

I have a gazillion more photos to process :) Here's one from one of my favourite destinations, Hualien.



This was taken at dawn at this pebble beach called 七星潭.

2 photos i like very much by weixiang :)
(Photos are clickable to go to his flickr site)



This is me when i was abt to stack the stones to take the photo above.


Shall end off with my favourite photo at this point of time.
Silhouette of wen phei, sie yen, raphael and i :):)

Last Day

Tmr, is the official first day of M5.

It'd really be a lie if i say that i'm not anxious at all :S

Despite the dreadfulness of M5, i ought to be thankful for the rather awesome elective mths and break i had :) I cant say it was always fruitful, but i hope the stresslessness has been suffice for the survival of the hectic yr ahead.

Among the happy things that happened, i realise that most offered happifying photo opportunities and these photos have been uploaded either here or on flickr in the past mths. I hope u've found one or two pictures u like!

I guess one of the most interesting thing i did was to see Jolin Tsai at a press conference!

Jolin is really petite in real life.

And then there was Taiwan which i so absolutely LOVE.

Taiwan pictures however will take time to be processed cos all my photos are taken in RAW format. But i shall post 2 here to get things started :)


This is taken at 淡水, the place Jay chou's 不能说的秘密 was filmed :)

To end off, i hope amidst the hectic year ahead, i would be able to find pockets of time for myself to slow down and enjoy a cup of tea with pple like these 2 at Taipei 101.



Have a great wkend friends :)

Back to Reality

I woke up this morning and was feeling a little sad tt i opened my eyes to my room.

Despite being back on the comfort of my familiar bed, i do miss Taiwan :)

I had a gd trip!

Interestingly, i tried shutting my eyes tight and opening it again wishing tt i'd see (pls say this the yikang-way) ROSEland, GOLD standard :) haha

M5 soon.. and i have to put my camera and fun away for 1 yr :S

Up next, Photos of my trip!:)

Busy Happy Monday

I'm really happy that i could run so many errands today including sending my IBM to its hospital for a fan transplant. The service at the service ctr was excellent! I'm ambivalent abt whether it is a gd thing that i only found out now, cos on one hand, i'm really happy that my T43 has survived so long when a number of my frens had fan error when their Thinkpads were around 2 yrs old, and on the other, my IBM is out of warranty!

Plenty of things happened today that threatened to ruined my day.. including the possibility of getting a bus lane ticket while letting my mom alight at the Bedok MRT bus stop and i later saw someone in white uniform with a digicam+tripod :((

Also, i had trouble running cos i kept having persistent side stitch :(( I read abt it on wikipedia.. it's pretty interesting and its actual cause is unknown.

Interestingly, despite all the awful things, my day felt pretty awesome on the whole. I guess, it's always the simplest things that saves the day :)

I have qt a lot of photos i havent processed. But here's a few current ones to share!
