Hello Guys, some of you may find me familar. This is actually a second account as the previous one got removed by Multiply. Anyway, as before, this site displays the photos taken at the many places which I had visited. Hope you guys enjoy vewing it as much as I had enjoyed taking them! =) |  | This was a fun and thrilling experience watching the F1 Singapore GP. First time I had seen cars racing past at almost 300km/hr! those deafening sounds from the engines and the smell of burning rubber makes the experience even more memorable!
As I sat on the fields of Padang watching the last few laps of the finals with many like-minded enthusiasts all over the world, I'm deeply proud of SG hosting such a memorable event in a commendable way. The scenes of F1 cars racing down with our beautiful CBD skyline makes such a breathtaking sight.
Tried my best to capture some cars in action, but they were simply too fast!! Not much of Ferraris and Mercedes...they seem much faster than others...haha! But nevertheless, do enjoy viewing the photos of cars and street scene all around the circuit. Thanks to Darren for the tixs! |
| | My first visit to a motor-show in SG with some friends. Totally overwhelmed by the bevy of pretty ladies there showcasing the various speed-monsters. Managed to catch some familiar faces there as well. |
| | This has been a long 15yrs over-dued trip!! Much has changed except for the expressions of the animals, still as bored as before. Rained after lunch and plans to shoot had to be postpone for another trip.
Some photos to share. Thanks to Jackie for the entry passes. =) |
| | A nice cooling morning macro session at Hort Park, Had a chance to see a baby mantis, however its too shy and goes into hiding too often! hah! Ended the session with a nice Myanmese lunch with our departing friend, Moe.
Moe, see u back soon, rem to work hard and dun play too much there! lol!
|
| | Had a relaxing walk with some colleagues on a new attraction in SG which links several parks together. Weather was cool and everyone was in a good mood. Kind of reminded me of the walks/hikes i had a NZ, albeit with a different scenery.
An enjoyable morning otherwise marred by a bit of crowd on the linking bridges and a brief spell of light showers. Will be re-visiting this place again to catch the sun-set, and this time, i will be taking the foot-trail instead!!
Sharing some snaps taken along the route. =) |
| | Finally, had some time to process these photos. An outing organised by Nikon SIngapore, giving a discounted rate for the flyer. It was difficult to shoot ard the small, packed and warm capsule with light reflections on the glass. I would say, the view would look much much more beautiful when the IRs are up and running....not worth the price at the moment.
Nevertheless, heres sharing some shots on how its like at the highest point of SG at nite. =) |
| | Sharing some photos of animals seen during the trip. Most of it shown here can be found at the Deer Park, Queestown. Its just like a wildlife safari and by just paying $20/car, you can simply drive your car into this un-fenced mountain and experience close encounters with free-roaming animals in their natural environment.
Had this chance to watch red deers 'fighting'. Mating season perhaps?? Enjoy!

| | Had an wonderful opportunity to do an amazing road trip round the whole of South Island, New Zealand with 3 new friends. Although tiring at times, it was certainly one of the most enjoyable trip I ever experienced!
Indeed, a truly splendid country with the most amazing and beautiful landscapes I had ever seen in my life! No wonder LOTR was filmed here in New Zealand! Never in my life had i seen such awesome landscapes and encountered fantastic wildlife close-up!
You can call me "sua-ku", but this trip brought me many first-time experiences. Jumped the infamous bungee, survived white water rafting, engulfed by the starry skies and the Milky Way, dwarfed by giant mountains, entered glow-worm infested caves, climbed ice glaciers....etc. Oh, not forgetting the wide array of savory food we had along the trip.
A short summary of the places we visited:
1) Lake Tekapo (small peaceful town lit up by wonderful stars at night)
2) Invercargil, Bluff (southern most tip of the island. Die die must try the Bluff oysters!)
3) Dunedin (busy town with interesting architecture and Cadbury chocolate factory)
4) Te Anau, Milford Sound (another small peaceful town, gateway to the serene and majestic mountains of the Milford Sound)
5) Queenstown (a place for u to do all the dare-defying, gravity-defying sports!!)
6) Lake Wanaka (Sky-diving area, or try something mild like getting dizzy at the Puzzling World)
7) Fox Glacier (do the only thing to do here - climb a glacier! How often do u get to do that?!?!)
8) Hokitika (a stop-over town en-route to Christchurch)
9) Christchurch
Definitely a must return place to do more hiking, bungee, and sky-diving!! Do enjoy some of the photos which are sights that will always be etched in my memory. =) |
| | Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! Took a trip to the annual flower festival to catch some 花香!! Sharing some shots here. Do enjoy my first album of 2008!! |
| | Had a chance to do a short getaway from work and SG with some friends. Choose Malacca for its proximity and great food.
Overall, a good relax trip. Slow pace, great food, friendly locals, nice rustic peaceful location. Definately would like to visit Malacca again. Enjoy the snaps!! |
| | Here's sharing some documentative shots of Chek Jawa. Joined a guided tour of the renovated Chek Jawa recently and sad to say, come 2008, guided tour would have to be chargeable. Would like to thank our guide, Joseph, whom enlighten us on the eco-system and the various types of marine life which I never even knew existed in SG.
A great place for a nature walk as well as beautiful seascapes which could only be seen when the tide is low. Would definitely be visiting this place again.
Thanks Jael for the invitation~! |
| | A short morning walk to catch some bugs and critters. Not much varieties found, but believe it or not, I got my first spidey close-up shot! |
| | Had a try out at night photography. Used long exposures, various white balance and colour light painting to achieve the photos u see here. Surprisingly, most of the photos look like being taken early dawn.
Thanks to Martin, who provided a wealth of knowledge on night photography. You can view his works here-> http://martinliew.multiply.com/ |
| | This is trip back to JBP after a long long long time....more than 15yrs, pretty sure bout that! Really brought back the memories of the past when mum and dad took me there.
Could still fondly remembered the Birds of Prey Arena, and also my childhood favourite penguins enclosure. Haha...cant recall much bout the other places.
Thanks to Viv for making this trip possible. |
| | Sharing some shots of an old place. Enjoy! |
| | Got a invite by a friend to join a TFCD shoot. My first time doing such kind of shoot, hence the results might not be up the the ladies expectations. Nevertheless, a good experience. Thanks to Thomas, Sheryl and Raina, and not forgetting Vince for the flash. |
| | Here's some late posting of a recent IR outing with the gang to the SBG. Nice weather, got poisoned by FE, and took too many shots of the gazebo. Enjoy! |
