Actual Day Wedding 08/12/2012: Jeffery & Jasmine

Jeffery, my secondary school friend got wed this December 8th, 2012. He whom I haven't met for quite a while contacted me weeks ago and appointed me as his wedding day's photographer. When we were actually meet up the other day i was so surprised to see him that he didn't actually age a bit, he looks just like how he was in form 5. I guess he must be living a cheerful and happy life to keep his young look. Anyway, it was an honor covering your wedding as an old friend, and thrilled that you've found your lifetime partner.

This post also marked the first where I have the chance to capture special "staged-up" moments where the bridegroom was "grooming up" before heading to meet the bride.

Happy marriage, and happy viewing!!!

Tuesday Afternoon

One quiet Tuesday afternoon, some street scenes. Happy viewing!!!

Nissan Livina X-Gear (Overview)

I was on leave on Friday, September 14th. Had some free time, while waiting to fetch my wife from work, I sent my car for a complimentary car wash, standard polish and wax.

After the car wash personnel called me up to claim my car, there's still like 2 hours left. So since the car has been touched-up, I had my camera with me, then I thought it'll be fun to photograph the portrait of my car. However, this is not a "complete" session as I didn't focus on the close-ups, details and interior. 

These are my "personal moments" with my car. Happy viewing!!!

Home Cook Risotto

This Ramadan holiday, we get a taste of home cook Mushroom Risotto, courtesy of my cousin, Boy (nickname). Boy was back home for a short break from where he's currently serving as an Executive Chef at OTTO Ristorante, an Italian Restaurant chain at Singapore. 

Risotto is a traditional Italian dishes cooked in broth to creamy consistency, and may mix with variety of vegetables, fish or meat based. Most risotto contain Parmesan cheese, butter, and onion, and it is one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy.

Just when I heard that Boy is preparing a meal at home, so I decided to document this and post it here for the joy of sharing.

Happy viewing!!!

The Last Day Of July 2012

This is Fui Ching, but we all call her Ching in short. She was a talented graphic designer cum illustrator at where I currently work. It is inevitable that one day when one of your best buddies in office resigns and pursuing his or her dreams. Well, Ching is leaving the company to help up with her family businesses, and we all feel happy for her and wishing her all the best should one day she becomes the "Lady Boss".

Here's her "last day" moments. Thanks for being our lovable and fun colleagues, and being my best "neighbor" for the past one year.

Happy viewing!!!

Venezia / Venice

Carrying two cameras at the same time might be troublesome, but it sure has its benefits. This post is the only one that I separated the photos instead of mixing them up, just to show a little more "intimate" side of capturing details. So please enjoy the views where we spent 3 hours plus in the heart of Venice.

Happy viewing!!!

A Gondola Ride, Venice

For centuries gondola were the main transportation and watercraft within Venice, which is the famous city surrounded by water. Nowadays, gondolas main role is to serve as water taxi and act as an attraction for Venice tourism industry. I always imagined myself seating in a gondola whenever I saw the gondola image from pictures or from the movies, and now I finally had a ride in it with my loved ones and my fellow friends. 

How does it feel then? Well, satisfaction.

I hope you can enjoy the gondola ride "virtually" through my photos. Happy viewing!!!

It's kind of shaky, but no worries 

Venice, Italy

Well, I was feeling really grateful to be here, Venice, as it is one of my listed dream destinations. Even though we only have less than five hour to tour Venice, but I think it should be enough to fulfill my achievement. Just to let you know, this isn't the complete set of Venice, two more posts coming up soon. Please kindly stay tuned.

Happy viewing!!!

Greek Trip 31/05/12: Greek Lunch

Lunch hour at Katakolo Town, where me and Ester came across with this "homey" Greek Restaurant. Surprisingly there's only 3 person working under the roof, the owner as the chef, the owner's wife taking orders and serving food, alongside with another waitress. So we wait for quite a while for our food, but it was really worth it. Check out the rest of the photos.

Happy viewing!!!

Katakolo Town, Olympia

Katakolo is a seaside town located in western Ilia in the municipality of Pyrgos. The town itself is relatively new judging by its new buildings built along the port where most of them are restaurants and goods shop, and locals basic income rely mostly on tourism. Nevertheless it was a cheerful town and the people are nice and friendly too.

Happy viewing!!!

Coke to kill the thirst

Kalafatis Beach Special: The Waiting Dog

Just when we were about to leave the beach, I saw a man dragging his canoe to the water while his dog was hopping around him with excitement. 

Alright, the story goes on below. Happy viewing!!!

The beginning

Oia, Santorini

Oia (pronounced as ee-ya) is an architectural picturesque town, and famous for its unique Venetian houses which were drenched in bright white color under the blue blue sky. Along the cliff of Oia are the remaining houses that survived from a large volcanic eruption many years ago which eventually sunk the center of the island.

Oia is surrounded by the ever blue Aegean Sea and remains as one of the popular tourist attractions. Oia looks amazing under a clear blue sky, but whenever the sun is setting, it turns to a even more beautiful paradise on earth that words can hardly describe. Well, I guess we were lucky enough to "witness" the sunset of Oia just before we got back to our cruise.

However, I shall only post some sunset scene right after this album. Hope you enjoy the photographs.

Happy viewing!!!

Greek Trip 29/05/12: Γεια σας Santorini

Γεια σας means "Hello" in Greek, and it's pronounced as "Yea Sou".

Long before I stepped my feet on Santorini, I've already seen lots of pictures on Santorini itself, and the signature colors, are none other than White and Blue.

And now, finally, I was here at Santorini. Call myself a little lucky and extremely excited to be here and explore the world-renowned tourist attraction by my own. 

Well, this post is mainly on boat tendering from the cruise and having a panorama view on Santorini coast from up above.

Full feature on Oia will be posted after this, thank you for stay tuned.

Happy viewing!!!
