Two Weeks Till Destruction

Posted by LXH - 0 comments

Finally, Kok Hon has gotten a Facebook account (a more serious one to be precise). World destruction imminent! Two weeks! D: If you wonder why would the world be destroyed in two weeks. Well, he is the king of the panda race and he is millions of years old. The moment he creates an account in Facebook and becomes somewhat serious about it. The spacetime continuum breaks into a million pieces and goes BOOM!

And yes, I know that was pure crap. Don't need to remind me.

Anyway, Kodak just went bankrupt. Though I am not involved in film photography, I feel a little sad that a photography giant fell. However, many new companies are rising up to take its place. Makes me wonder what the world of photography be like 10 years down the road.

Well, nothing really very eventful happening right now. Looking forward to the coming weeks!

[Pra] Town Of Chinese Fish Raised

Posted by LXH - 0 comments

Hahahahahaha! I've been travelling a bit during these two days and in the morning, I went to Chinatown for a little street photography. Must admit street photography becomes a lot easier when there're a lot of people around you, especially tourists. It just make me who is holding a giant DSLR invisible. Snap, snap, snap!

Just out of MRT, straight into the crowd! Attempted on a left/right balance center parting. I think I'm successful.

A very very nice uncle! Wish him many blessings this year! Anyway, love how his red shirt stands out in this shot.

A man engrossed in his business. Wish him good business this Chinese New Year! I'm trying to strike a balance of left and right in this shot and the stretched out arm serves as a bridge in vision and connects the two.

Wish I captured part of her face which will balance the heavy left side (due to red color and text). Still like the bright color here though.

First I must apologize to this beautiful lady in the picture. I cut off her feet... But I cut at her lower leg and not at a joint so it's not so bad. Oh, and she has some pretty wild hairstyle on the other side of her head... Ahem, this shot is to show some beautiful repetition.

Another one that includes some repetition. Should have moved a little to the left to achieve some symmetry too though.

That was my morning. Evening was much more fantastic! Had the first (probably also the last) 捞鱼生of the year! I feel really thankful for everyone to come down on a Wednesday so I can be accommodated. All of you are God's grace to me. You are something that a weirdo like me doesn't deserve, not even one bit. Yet you walked into my life ignoring all my weaknesses and make them my strength. You also humble my strength, showing me places where I can improve myself. I always believe that you are one of God's greatest blessing & grace to me. You are the reason that I am still here and you are the reason that I am still who I am. I apologize to those who are not included in this picture. Don't be late next time, ok? And please believe me that no matter where you are, I will always love you and answer your call for me.

The untouched 鱼生! Love that orange from the carrot strips!

Spotlight on Ivan!

Xinlian ready to strike!

Aftermath.

Romans 6:14
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.

[Pra] Leaders Gather at Ultimate Fuze

Posted by LXH - 0 comments

Today has been a truly eventful day. Or rather, past few days. First, I got a earphone + MP3 player combo at about S$270. While a little too pricy for my liking (I was thinking more on the line of spending about S$200 in total), I must admit that the sound quality is really good. In fact, playing anything with a bitrate lower than 200 makes me feel like I'm wasting this setup. Sansa Fuze v2 + TripleFi 10.

Also went to church leader's meeting today... without myself being a leader! Hahahahahaha! Anyway, I really like the praise & worship at leader's meeting. They sing with lots of energy & passion, as if they really want to carry out what they sing. Oh, talking about this leader's meeting, I must talk about something that I am including into my workplan of the year. "Help ShenYu in his O level." This is a task issued by William and the target is ShenYu. I have yet to work out the details but I am ready to go. It should go along quite well with my A level re-revision. Hahahaha!

And since I'm visinting Jurong West, I took a few shots of the old church building. I really love that titanium facade. It gives off a mix of blue and yellow, something that is not even supposed to be possible! And I'm losing touch with my wide angle techniques... The shots didn't really turn out very nice. Need practice & improvement! Click to enlarge!

Wanted to take the same shot with 1/3 ground & 2/3 sky but somehow that idea slipped my mind.

I still love light streak. Hahahahahahaha!

A lot of people don't like my church. I understand. However, I cannot agree. No matter what, I will give you a smile and tell you "it's ok".

[Evt] Pepperoni Pizzeria, Five Strong Men

Posted by LXH - 0 comments

Hahahahaha! I want to laugh out loud every time I remember that "five strong men" incident. Well, guess it's hard to forget something that funny. Anyway, went out for dinner today at Pepperoni Pizzeria near Bukit Timah. It's a fine pizza restaurant with lots of nice food. We ordered a giant pizza & two servings of pastas. The taste is good and everything came really quickly. I guess I am satisfied. One down side though is that the pizza is really thin so it's not really filling. We ended up ordering pasta to top everything off.

The REALLY large pizza with salmon & some egg related topping.

Just to get Mr. Leuar and Mr. Mok on screen.

I guess food can somtimes taste different. Not because they are different, but because the feeling is different.

[KtMK] Project Demand

Posted by LXH - 0 comments

Due to demand, I added a "......" after each post in summary page for easy indication. Quite amazed that I figured out how to do it really...

I'm also starting a project. Or rather, to continue one. My keychain project I call: My Kingdom. It was previously stopped because I don't know how to shoot my favorite keychain out of them all, a crude crystal. Finally, I have the equipment required to make the shot and I've just done it. I attempted minimalism and I hope it works out well. Anyway, I won't be posting these pictures on Facebook. Maybe I will once I complete it but not now. It will only exist here.

Crystal is a piece of crude crysal that has been with me ever since I came to Singapore. It was by my side on various important occasions of my life and holds many many memories. Every chip, every breakage is a record of my journey to what I am now.
