Things you do when you get bored at wedding dinners...
Here's my Ah Ma, pretending to check out the new apps on my iphone.
Deliciously Turkey
Lo and behold!
153! My highest score ever at bowling!
I don't bowl often, and my average score usually hovers around 60 when I play.
So yes, this is a big deal :)
Sildenafil citrate
A tiny little blue pill that performs huge wonders.
V is for victory.
It does not seem that small after all.
To scale with the dollar coin.
Because it is not what you think it is.
It has a huge capacity and requires a usb port for enhanced performance.
How to look 5 inches taller
Notice anything?
No???
It's the hair! The super pony tail!
It's cute, adds 5 inches to your existing height and you can do it only when you are 5 because it will not be cute at all if you are past that age.
There is another sister missing from this shot. It's difficult to tailgate kids that closely and snap photos of them when their parents are close behind and might notice that your phone is in camera mode.
I don't like Dong Bang Shin Ki
I just realise that one of my friend classify me as a "lovely nobrainer".
How utterly contradictory is that!
How can a nobrainer be lovely!!!
And how can you be a nobrainer and lovely at the same time..........
Shit, that is possible!
Never mind. Lim Pei Lun you! (sic)
Pun Pun Pun intended to the full capacity! :P
We are pro divers* who are certified, who have yet to recieve proper certification
I am serious when it comes to diving
He is serious when it comes to diving.
Pros are serious when it comes to diving.
It was damn difficult to take those pro looking shots ok!
In full gear minus goggles and fins.
Our instructor, dive buddy and us.
Spent entire 4 days on board.
Took me 2 days after we disembark to not feel the 'waves' or the 'sea' when I walk around.
PS: The oxygen talk is damn heavy!
This is gonna be my last post about Sydney.
Try to spot the difference between the next two photos.
Photo 1
Photo 2
See any difference?
They were taken at one of the must-see natural attractions when you are in Sydney, the Blue Mountains.
I went there with my family the last time I was in Sydney, that was more than a decade ago. I remember questioning my parents that "it is not blue what!".
Guess what, it still isn't blue!
Australians are colourblind.
Anyway the difference is that in the first photo, i was blocking one of the sisters!

See, those 3 random pieces of rocks are named The Three Sisters after some aboriginal fairy tale.
On the whole, we both thought that the Blue Mountains pale in comparison with the national parks in Utah.
Blue mountains; pale in comparison. Sometimes I think I am so smart. Haha.
Our favourite spot at the Blue Mountains range was these trees!
It's the first time I see awesome Autumn looking trees
On a random note, here's a photo of me running as fast as the city trains in Sydney!
Faster than a speeding bullet :P
Ok. I shall continue blogging about Aussie stuff again.
The other iconic icon of Sydney - Opera House!
Say cheese~
This shot might be a lil blury, but I like it a lot :)
We went over to Bondi Beach too. But it was so cold and windy, we didn't attempt to go anywhere near the waters. How can people still surf and play in their swimming gear at such temperatures and weather conditions?
Blown away - almost literally
Anyway, we had pizza for dinner one night.
Try and make out the pizza toppings
It's kangaroo pizza! Like kangaroo meat!
Yes, for a moment, I did think of Koala pizza too.
Here's the menu just in case you think I was kidding about the Kangaroo.
Check out the phase 'loin of Kangaroo'

Day 1 in Sydney
I don't know if anyone watched the Harry Potter movie series and remember this crowded alley where he goes to get his school supplies. The place where he spots the Nimbus 2000!
Maybe it's just my wild imagination, but this mall, The Strand, in Sydney reminds me of Diagon Alley!
Living in a Harry Potter fantasy land
Anyway, the must see 'thing' in Sydney which got hoards tourists snapping away - The Harbour Bridge
Which is more important, your own face or the bridge??
It's ok, you can always try again. It's the reign of the digital camera! No film!
At least we got more than half the bridge this time
Of course the highlight of Sydney will not be complete unless we did a jump shot!
Check out my obasan hairdo!
Wrapping things up with a traditionally 'nice shot'
Times are Bad
Not enough funds to get the lock properly repaired, so you whip out the pair of chopsticks for your lunch takeaway and voila! Fits almost perfectly.
Don't you just hate it!
You got onto the MRT and made yourself comfortable on one of the seats when you looked up and...
Ok, i know. Everyone has hairy armpits.
But not everyone displays them so proudly and openly in public at your face.
Or maybe I'm just too sensitive when it comes to other people's armpits. I think it's damn distracting!
1, 2, 3 JUMP!~
I was looking through some of photos the other day and realised that I've taken quite a couple of jump shots.
By jump shots, I mean photographs that captured me in midair.
That inspired me to blog about some of the Do's and Dont's of taking jump shots.
DONT's
Don't cover your face.
The basic rules of photographing yourself is to allow yourself to be photographed. But you might look past that (literally) when you get excited.
Don't hesitate for too long.
Boing boing???
Don't photograph with someone who is out to steal the shot.
No one person should dominate the screen shot.
DOs
Do invest in a good camera.
Either the subjects are jumping at lightning speed or the camera sucks.
Do try to jump off the ground the same time as your partner.
Do try to jump off the ground the same time as your partner.
Synchronise your jumps.
Jump within the framework.
Know your limits.
Once again, do jump within the framework of what the lens is able to capture.
This picture was not cropped or edited in any way.
Make sure your legs can be seen.
Don't hide your calves behind your thighs when you are suspended in mid air.
Get a good photographer who knows how to capture the moment.
Scenario whereby the photographer was too quick to judge.
Do get a partner who is as excited as you about the jump.
Do get a partner who is as excited as you about the jump.
Subject on left: Really into it
Subject on right: Blah
If not, you can always force or threaten you partner to make the photo look good.
Much better.
And finally, do remember where the photographer is.
Enthusiasm is always a plus factor for jump shots, but try not to get too carried away.
Enthusiasm is always a plus factor for jump shots, but try not to get too carried away.
There!
Have fun taking jump shots too! Just try to photograph at places where there aren't too many people you don't know :)
i 财神爷
My parents were standing there, looking at Mr 财神爷 in awe.
The i 财神爷
There was a digital numeric display of Singaporeans favourite pastime - 4D,well within the temple's premise.Then my grandma told me to help her remember the magic numbers, she says she also want to play.
Play what? I didn't get her.
She took out some loose change from her pockets and went to the fancy box. Slot some of the coins in then pushed the button excitedly.
The numbers changed!
I know I know. No big deal yeah. But I was kinda awestruck.
Singaporeans behave like little kids when it comes to those 4 numbers.
HUAT AH!~
The Hairy Boy
It's a cap with uber fake dreadlocks that matches his Crocs!~
I only just realise the "matches his Crocs" part after I uploaded the photo!
Anyway, I honestly think he can carry it off.
Take Deep Breaths
The noise continued to rumble steadily in the background.
I rose from sleep. It was coming from my left.
I looked, but there was nothing there.
The snoring continued. But the bed on my left was empty.
I thought I was imagining things because I was still drowsy from sleep.
I started to roam from room to room, thinking that the noise might be coming from a different direction.
No snores from daddy and mummy's room. And all is peaceful and quiet at ah ma's room.
I tried to go back to sleep. But the sounds of some one's snores beside me sent shivers down my sleepy spine, because I can hear but I see no one.
I tried to trace for the source.
Out the window to my left...
This guy who parked his car downstairs was sleeping inside and snoring so loudly that I actually thought the sound was coming from somewhere beside me.
I swear I saw the car vibrating as he inhale and exhale.
And for a moment, I really thought there was some one beside me.
Just Shoot!~
And they call it crow culling
I was elated when I saw a man pacing the streets with a rifle in hand.
Guess what? The NEA decided to grant my blog wish!
I should hope to sleep peacefully and wake up to the glorious sounds of nature - minus the sickening croak of black crows.
Woo hoo!~
