Hyper Girl

It seems like dinosaur ages ago since I really go on a picnic. I managed to join in a simple impromptu picnic organised by my group of old time friends. The original plan was to check out Henderson Wave but we eventually decided to just go for a more relaxed picnic at the more peaceful Punggol beach. It's a 2 hour event and we literally do nothing there other than eating finger food and chat. For me, I can't help but shoot one of my friend's little girl, ZL. (good thing I've brought my camera along). I met her a few times over the past years during occasional gatherings (she's grown alot)...but she was so hyper and cute yesterday that I know I must get some shots of her. She was so eager to 'pose' as well.

Her mum also told me that she can't stand her girls nonsense sometimes. I've got a little taste of it from a short conversation with her...

ZL: You cannot lie to me or else your nose will grow very long like Pinnochio.

Me: Then elephants are bad liars.

ZL: No you stupid! Elephants can't talk!

Me: ....


Here are some pics... :)











Apparently, my little Ray didn't really enjoy the outing...

Hello?

Had some free time this afternoon and decided to take a few snaps of Ray before the cameras head back to the drybox. Here are a few that I like. :)

Timely

I guess it's the heaven's calling for me to stop work when my work computer decided to stop working yesterday just when I'm about to continue some post production. That means the first thing when I resume work next week will be to try fix it up and continue with more post production.

With the work computer down, it also means I am able to spend a little more time today helping out in cleaning up the house and spending more time with family.

I've also tried to spring clean my laptop's hard drive a little and found that there are lots of pictures taken during family events and some random shots which were pretty much forgotten. It's a pity that we didn't print them out as I am pretty lazy to pick them out and send them for print. At the same time, I saw my dad trying very hard to use his pretty old camera phone to take some pics of Ray and failing to get good shots. I've always been wanting to get my dad (and myself) a good compact camera and what I saw today just tell me that today is the day. So an hour before renuion dinner, I rushed out to get a compact cam, a Panasonic LX3. There, I decided to just get a Canon Sylphy photo printer too so that it's easy for anyone at home to print the images (though not of the highest quality) before we procrastinate further. It costs quite a bit but I'm sure it's worthwhile.

It feels good to put some balance into life and I really would like to continue to upkeep this for the rest of the time. Maybe that's my new year resolution this year.

With the clock hitting 12 midnight now, I'll like to wish everyone here a great year and most importantly, good health! Also, thanks alot for reading thru this post too. :)

Warmest Regards

New Kid On The Blog

I was supposed to keep an eye on him while my wife go make milk for him. Decided to quickly make this shot before I pack my gears back into the drybox.


This statement will make my wife kill me..."Taking care of Ray is so easy, just drive him to and fro from infant care and take pictures of him everyday will do.". Haha.

Wishing everyone a good weekend! ;)

Suck thumb

There was a debate within my family on whether we should let Ray use the pacifier at all. The verdict is...no pacifier for him. That's what he'll have to make do with when his gums do get itchy.

Refund a baby

Spent a short 10min this morning to check out some blogs which I've not visited before while munching on my breakfast in office. Found this comic strip interesting from one of them. Somehow I feel that I've been 'refunding' my own baby too often to my wife. =p

Have a nice day. :)

101 funny faces to get this

ayWas preparing my cameras for tomorrow's shoot and my boy was lying just beside me. Decided to try get a couple of pics of him. Man...it's a challenge to make him laugh. Very glad that I've got this shot. Makes it worth making all the stupid faces infront of him for 10mins.

...it is true that your child's smile can take away all the stress you have...maybe till they start crying...haha.

Wishing everyone a good weekend! :)
