Baby Reyes

My Star:
Little Reyes
5 months plus, Super Active Reyes has 2 mini milk teeth.
Looking forward the day he calls me GOD MA!







Best Friend


Currently reading Marley & Me By John Grogan...


I'm feeling a lot for this scene.


I wanted to wait for Reyes to sleep before I left the house. 11.25pm, Reyes was still playing with his mommy & ah ma.

Couldn't take it anymore, I lost the Reyes' sleeping battle.


Just like me, Gary Boy is drained out.
Little Reyes is champion!

SgZoo

Photography @ Sg Zoo
Last Oct, I went with me, myself & I.
This time, it's an impromptu photography outing with ym.

Discovered more. I realised I missed out Australian Outback the first time.
The same for both occasions: Afternoon Rain, & yes, even in Zoo, I thought of smell of Rain. (Can't wait for the dvd!)


Very focus on shooting that I didn't have time for lunch & animal info, so haha, some of the pic are posted without any description.
Ah Meng.

Maybe due to rain, can't see Tree Kangeroo & Sloth in Fragile Forest.
Here's my last capture @ the Zoo cos it's near closing time.

In love with white tigers. I counted my collections, 39 photos of white tigers!

























There's 3 of them!

Wining

I think Vanie will appreciate this: Winning a prize

I attended a training this afternoon.
Unfamiliar environment: Self introduction, playing games... just makes me feel uneasy, I'd react differently.

"Ice breaking game- Bingo"
20 boxes, a topic in each.
For instance, " reading Horoscope"- Jessie Tan. Required to obtain 2 names in each box. Win a prize upon completion of 2 rows/columns.

I didn't move my butt out of my seat throughout the session. What I did was to shove the paper to people seated beside, in front & behind me. They just filled up their names. The thought of facing everybody... oh no. I whispered to my friendly neighbour :"eh, I don't want to win."

I left with last box "Followed Singapore Idol" to Bingo. I feigned that I was trying to look for someone to bingo. Thinking that Singapore Idol was a matter in 2004 &06... I tried my luck, "Singapore Idol, who?" Was anticipating for silence, God knows, the boy behind me just said, "Aiyah, got lah- Taufik. Come, Chin Chai, I write my name."

He filled up his name. I checked my paper again:"right, really... shit" There wasn't any commotion around me & even my neighbour didn't realised it. I think I still can keep quiet about it. So, I took out my mobile phone, before I could replied to a sms... the trainer asked if I needed help & that was it- my plan failed, I got a mug.

Just like Vanie & me @ "Chuck & Larry" screening arranged by her school student council.
They pasted the star onto the bottom of the chair. "Whoever got a star, please come down & redeem your prize." Everybody got so excited & got up to search for their star. Vanie was searching for her star till she noticed my non-movement. I just refused to check & told her: "won't be so lucky one."

Apparently, the event planner knew the number of stars out there & I couldn't understand why they were so persistent about finding the last star. One of the lady walked up the aisle, stopped @ the seat right in front of me. I intended to turn to tell Vanie: " see?, not me". The lady had made a mistake, the star was pasted on my chair... they took a photo of me with my prize.

Ninjas'

Ninjas' gathering @ Marche
I like people to ignore me whenever I take photographs of them.

A liking for candid shots.

& when they realised & intended to pose, I'd say: "自然点"
It doesn't really work @ all times.

Some staring at the food, some trying to use their peripheral vision to check if I'm done & most just can't resist posing for me!

<= The result just amuses me.
From Joan's camera, here's a perfect example of candid shot.








The last we gathered as one gang of ninjas was on the charity show.

Not even a month, but it felt so far away.

Aaron complied selected pictures & created a 30 mins video. I like it so much that I repeated 4 times.
From Joan's collection.
