I should have just taken a half day off and planted myself in Plaza Singapura yesterday. I know that Jay Chou and Lin Chiling are STARS with a capital "S" but the crowd was really ridiculous. I would bet the people in the front rows were there since lunchtime. Waiting 7 hours to catch a glimpse of their idols, ok, you win haha. New Year Resolution : Buy a foldable step ladder …
Ris Low wasn't at VivoCity but VivoCity was celebrating its 3rd anniversary with a fireworks display that was literally Boomz! Maybe I'm exaggerating, its not like, National Day kind of loud, and it was short (around 10 minutes, felt even shorter) but it was still really spectacular. I was thinking that I wanted a series of zoom photos up close to the fireworks which should …
My friend had tickets to go for the Barclays Singapore Open so we decided to go last Sunday, which was the final day of competition, the day to catch the best golfers remaining. I was never really into golf as I was not good at it, and it gets frustrating when you know you are not that good, and when you are frustrated, it only affects your game more, so its a vicious cycle. …
If you have seen my earlier post on Victoria Bradbury winning the TNP New Face 2009, you must have been wondering where the other contestants went? Well, I'm only posting the winners on th …
These are just the post-event celebration pictures, more of Victoria Bradbury and the other New Face contestants on the next entry, as soon as I sort out the photos. Cheers and congratulations to Victoria!
And I mean sweating buckets type of hot! She is the current ambassador of True Yoga, and was the guest celebrity of the recent Mega Combat event held at Suntec Fountain of Wealth. Quite an unusual spot for Mega Combat given that the floor was sloping downwards and it was a hot outdoor event, but if Andrea Fonseka is punching and kicking away, I can't be worse than her …
Jolin Tsai were here over the weekend to promote her new album "Butterfly". Was the first time back at Jurong Point in a long long while since my uni days. From what I remembered, it was always packed with students like us and with Jolin there, I expected traffic to be at a standstill. I was right, the shops around the stage area might as well close their doors during the …
It was like a gathering of overachievers and I was like 'wah!', they were both an inspiration as well as an annoyance, (How can they be so smart and capable, yet pretty/handsome at the same time?!) Never mind, I have my dear wife and daughter, they don't! hmph!Hosts for the nightAll the FinalistsPast WinnersWhen they announced the winners, my first thought was where are the …
I didn't quite believe it when I read that Bar Rafaeli would be coming to Singapore. If you don't know who she is, she is just an international SUPERmodel, the 2009 covermodel of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, who also happens to be Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend. AND SHE'S HOT!To complete the story, she was here with Noam Toor as Fox fashion ambassador and …
Now to the real kicker in this post, the 'ingenious' MCYS..Apparently, when the event was announced, some very environmentally aware blogger wrote in to MCYS (sorry, can't find the blog anymore) and someone also wrote in to the Straits Times forum and basically informed them that mass release of balloons is a really mean thing to do as it endangers all sorts of sea …
The Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) decided to host this ingenious event at the Marina Barrage last weekend. More of the 'ingenious' part later.. Thought that this was a great photo event and decided to bring my wife, mother and auntie along, who had just popped over from Canada for a visit. Unfortunately, I forgot that the VIP was their boss, Dr …
I was wondering to myself what is it about Bugis Junction and Mediacorp? I was just there 2 weeks ago to catch Fish Leong and there I was back again, tussling with the crowds last Saturday. The thing about Bugis is that there is very limited space in general and once the 'professionals' arrive with their chairs and plant themselves right smack centre, it ruins the view for a …
On a normal lazy, wet Wednesday evening, most people would either still be at work (which is a good thing nowadays), or happily warm and cozy at home watching their TV and having dinner. M …
Not quite a NASA picture but still very proud of what I could capture with my camera right outside my house. Go ahead and zoom all the way to 100% using the power zoom feature. Its cool!
Phlook is having a crazy promotion this Valentine's Day that is so insane its worth going down just to take a look at what is going on!Would be quite interesting to see the kisses on display :)
Was a fantastic Saturday morning to take my wife out for a romantic walk in the park surrounded by lovely flowers. Had to wake up really early by Saturday standards to be in Sentosa before the heat and the crowds started setting in, which was good because we managed to walk around in relative cool comfort and take some shots with morning dew still on the flowers. We could …
It is always quite an experience walking along Chinatown around this time of the year and capturing the moment on camera for the first time, I guess I never really noticed how colorful the whole setup was and how it really brings up the atmosphere! Used only a 70-210mm zoom lens to try and create a interesting new perspective on the event, hope you enjoy it!
Not quite your Miss Universe or Miss World but its still a pageant, winners get to represent Singapore in the international competition held in Istanbul! Still you have to admit that it was sorely lacking in the glamour content, no tv or radio or newspaper coverage, no official website, grand finals held in a heartland shopping mall, small stage without a decent runway, Miss …
Molink Girls is a Chinese musical quintet along the molds of Bond (UK, and the original concept) and 12 Girls (also from China but more classical) with modern musical instruments used to p …
Wee Kiat just informed me over the weekend that I was featured on Widgets Lab! Ok I'm exaggerating, its more a review of on Phlook rather than my blog or my pictures but hey, my Lara Croft at X08 photo set was there in the article and it picked one of my favourite shots too. plus I am glad that his photo hosting site is gathering attention. Well done!
