Table clearage
Here’s something that mildly peeves me about Singaporeans; that so many people just won’t return their trays. When Ling and I started going out years ago, I made it a point to get both of us to return our trays

Vintage value
Here’s another blast from the past.:) The very first lens I had on my old Nikon FG-20 after getting into photography in 1985 was a 50mm f1.8 lens. I was sotong about photography back then, but I did learn quickly
Demb Flip-It!
Back to another post on photographic toys again.:) One of the huge improvements that I looked forward to switching from the Konica-Minolta Maxxum 5D to the D300 was in flash photography. Simply put, my flash photography skills using the KM5D
Lian in Red
Ling used to keep her hair long, but since marriage she’s kept her hair short. She’s been planning to get a hair-cut and to “add a bit of color” to it too at the start of the week, or so
Bag it
Here’s another entry on photographic toys. After I moved from my old Konica-Minolta Maxxum 5D DSLR to the D300, the containers i.e. bags had to get changed too. I’ve been using an old Lowepro camera bag for years now and
eBaying

No Questions Asked
I remarked in an earlier post the other day about how there were two printing blemishes in the photobook I did for Ling. It’s a sort of inch long ink smear on one of the last couple of pages in
The Lion, the Aussies, and the Conservationist
There’s a heartwarming video that’s been echoing throughout the web and making the rounds for a week now. It’s worth a watch and about two Aussies, a lion, and a year in between them. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adYbFQFXG0U It’s times like these you’d
*B(l)urb…!*
There’re dates every year I dread. One is Ling’s birthday, and the other is Valentine’s Day. OK, I should clarify that; I dread not the day itself, but the run-up to it and specifically what I should buy her for
Curry puffs
It is one of those things where we’re of different opinions. I prefer curry puffs from Old Chang Kee and Polar Puffs and Cakes while Yang prefers those from Tip Top. Sigh, I still don’t get it. What’s so special
