Under the sun


Under the sun, originally uploaded by ZackTwin.
I have not uploaded any new photos recently. Nothing other than I do not have nice-new-photos and I was busy. It’s transition time and very hard to find time for my hobby.

Even though I am not active in Flickr, I have been checking my friend’s new photo coming up here. Sorry for not giving comments to you guys’ beautiful photos. I am not a big fan of portraits but some photos really make me want to take some portraits. Cheers…

BTW: This photo was taken in Chinese Garden.

Ciao!

Mixed Messy Miss


Mixed Messy Miss, originally uploaded by ZackTwin.
We left home to search better life.
We fought until we strike.
Sometimes we got backstab by many knives.

Then we said ‘better to live with the family’.
Yet we cannot decide what to do firmly.

We visited home to stay with them alone.
But we got better-life missing syndrome.

It’s hard to take everything together.
To get the life we got, never say never.
Past taught us to be clever to endeavor happy forever.

Tamarind Buds

You will feel very excited when you see something which can relate to your good memories.

I went to Lake Side to take some photos of Chinese Garden for my designers this morning. The weather was perfect for photo shooting; sunny with blue sky. When I was ready … and click… cannot fire… What’s wrong? … Check… no SD card… WTF. I forgot put the SD card back to camera after transferring photos to computer last night. I remembered to take the card before leaving home. Unfortunately a client called me while I was preparing to leave. After the conversation, I left home without taking SD card…

Hiyo…

Anyway, I decided to go back home and take the card. Otherwise we will not finish the design in time. When I get back to Lake Side the weather changed. It became cloudy. What the luck? I was disappointed as my effort to come here early was wasted. Anyway I took some shots of Lake and temples and HDB and so on…

I walked along the jogging track beside the lake… and I found a tamarind tree and I was so excited. It has new leaves and buds. I was happy taking photos of tamarind leaves.

It really makes me to remember my home town, my mom and my mom’s cooking. She would make a salad with those tamarind buds, butter bean and onion. That salad is very simple yet very delicious.

I miss you, mom… and your delicious home cooking.

Life Stage


Life Stage, originally uploaded by ZackTwin.
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances; … “ (more)

In our life, there have been many exits and entrances. Sometimes the entrance is previously exit and, vice versa, the exit is previously entrance.

We cannot take everything as a constant.

Nothing is permanent.

Now I am going to exit from the entrance and going to enter to the exit.

Multilingual Singapore


Multilingual Singapore, originally uploaded by ZackTwin.
Today, I went to a Malay cooked food stall for lunch. The Malay lady asked me ‘Makan?’.

I nodded and she asked me what I wanna add, I pointed and said ‘Mutton (Eng), Tauhu (Malay) and TauKay (Chinese) ... ‘ She looked at me and I think she was confused. She might be thinking like this guy looks like Malay but he is not a Malay, maybe he is Chinese.

Then the Malay lady asked me ‘ni yao la jia?’ :D

When I get older, I will be stronger

I am just giving the title as I am having World Cup fever. I really like that WAVIN FLAG song which is very energetic with very good words. I really want to be stronger when I get older. Of course, stronger in term of mentally. When I get older I definitely will be weaker in physical as those sunflowers.

I am still using the photos taken during last year vacation because I don’t have nice new photos yet. I edited this photo with masking layer in GIMP. I previously do not like to edit photo with software but now I am enjoying it a bit more. Using software is also part of modern photography, isn’t it?

Golden Paddies


Golden Paddies, originally uploaded by ZackTwin.
After looking at Ko Ye Tun’s sunflower photo , I remember that I took photo of paddies and sky. When I look at my photo it’s not very nice as Ko Ye Tun’s photo. But I would like to post it here to share. I took this photo on the same day as Golden Fields
