It’s a shame that I didn’t frame it well (or so I think). The building on the right should have been cropped away or left out of the photo. Should have played with the white balance for a better sky color. LOL.

Let me know how I can improve :)

Shot with a Canon EOS 500D.

16 Feb 2010 Tiger Year
 |  Category: my life  | Tags: ,  | Comments off

The year of the tiger was ushered in with a roar, and I guess that’s about it. Apart from the annual reunion dinner and the customary visits to the elder, nothing much has changed. Perhaps the people.

My family headed down early to Grandma’s place to help her prepare the reunion dinner. The bulk of the cooking fell to my dad and mum, as my Grandma has difficulty preparing dinner this year.

The same can be said for the 1st day of new year as well. Not that I am complaining. I get to pig out on good food and loads of goodies.

Uploaded my photos to the computer, but I am still sorting it out the pictures.

Oh yes, I am leaving on a jet plane real soon. Excited.

Wishing you a prosperous NewYear. Huat ah!

and to everyone, a belated happy valentine’s day as well.

Yours truly is just celebrating CNY, and left Vdae out simply because the bf is not around in Singapore to be with me. But he made it up by calling me, and greeting my parents. :)

Shall keep this post short and sweet, for I need to write more posts :)
