grains

i find myself taking more and more pictures lately, random things that remind me that my life still consists of things other than my thesis. it is in the small things -- a delicious lunch, heart-shaped red traffic lights at junctions around sunway, hanging out with best friends that i havent seen in 2 months, a phone call or an email to and from my loved ones, and the smell of apples and peach. and sesame salad dressing with boiled eggs.

a few randoms from my phone, the ones from my d90 will have to wait for their turn, for another day when i feel like taking a break from doing/thinking/worrying about anything thesis-related.

sausage and mash potato buns that he made a few weeks ago

the awkward moment when you realize that the colour of your toenails matches the bathroom floor tiles at home

scrumptious tiramisu cake slices for each lecturer on teacher's day

i want to try this recipe but would swap the tofu for scrambled eggs. 

an impeccably white lamborghini 

i would consciously avoid anything pink, but this pink lady i had when out drinking with simin and anusha last night was amazing!

a gif of my favourite biscuit.

reminiscing

the last two months of year 2011;

   

i graduated

i witnessed (and caught on camera -- thanks to dad's bulky 300mm lens) a lunar eclipse

i saw the eye of singapore and the marina bay sands AND a convertible vw beetle all at once.

i was mesmerized by a real life moving painting from the song dynasty. surreal.

i tasted the best satay yet.

swooned over cute painted united buddy bears at pavilion kl and agreed whole-heartedly with this quote.

and, i shot this picture of a no-eared xiaoxiao. she is getting fat isnt she?

and uh, i got hospitalized for viral fever, kthxbye :)

backlog

currently part-timing full day(?) at my great aunt's photo studio. saw some pretty interesting photos -- good and bad -- from many interesting personalities, including a self-proclaimed photographer who photoshopped his clients fatter. hmmm.... anyway, a few pictures that i have yet to post, 

1.2. a school of clownfish and a lone "eyebag"(?) fish at hongkong's ocean park, from december last year

3. xiaoxiao being bored, lying around on the ledge

4. temple roof
5. black ferrari at genting highlands 

6. me acting crazy

7. carved bronze door plaque of a chinese temple

shapes and patterns

deposited a few copies of my resume at the career fair in the morning, shopping and late lunch at midvalley/gardens with kaireen, anusha, wenli and simin the remainder of the day. the first picture i took of the rainbow-coloured cardboard paper inspired me to look for regularities in shapes and patterns, so i dug out some of the photos that i had taken of similar kind.

rainbow colour coordinated art paper; navy stripes; butterfly prints; the onehundredcatsandamouse painting exhibited at the sarawak cat museum; the rims of the volkswagen golf gti; vw touareg; and passat cc, respectively, taken at the volkswagen das auto show i went with him last week at the bukit jalil stadium. it was freaking impressive! maybe i shall dedicate a full post to the presentation.
