Reading under the sun

When I'm at the pool on weekend, I'm always too lazy to swim. Most of the time, I'll read something.

I'm reading a book about Audrey Hepburn. Cheri loan it to me. The book is about Audrey's perspective of life. Great for light reading.

Tanning

One of my favourite past time is to laze by the pool and enjoy the sun. I've not done it for a while. It is really a dilemma. I love to wear a bronze colour tan but spending too much time in the sun is giving me pigmentation.

So, after a lapse of many months, I put on sun screen and headed for the pool. Yup, I still enjoy the carefree feeling.

2010 Birthday gift #4

Another birthday cake for me. And I'm really touched by Mei Feng who specially deliver the cake to my work place in the hot Friday afternoon. She was like so dehydrated when I saw her, and she was soaked in her prespiration.

Thanks Mei Feng from the bottom of my heart.

Thursday Bento

It was Thursday and I had received yet another Bento on my work desk.

I opened the Bento and a fresh fragrant of fried rice and sardine fish met my sense of smell. When I took the first mouthful of rice and sardine fish, I was surprised that it was still hot. I was impressed by the fried rice, it was fried to  the right texture and very tasty but yet not overbearingly salty. The sardine was fresh without the unpleasant fishy smell. I wondered what Siew Bon did to achieved this perfect dish.

I finished the whole Bento for breakfast.

So Cute

Sunny looks so cute here, big head and tiny body.

He looks like when he was a baby.

This shot is a little blur, he just couldn't stop moving.

Shots from Lumix GF1

Lumix produces photos that are really sharp, the strands of fur could be seen clearly

Maybe I've not discover how to set its exposure, I find that the photos are a little under-exposed. I've to photoshop it to make the photos brighter.

Love this shot, I love the depth the 20mm len produced.

2010 Birthday gift #3

This $1500 birthday gift is from myself. Decided going to reward myself. I've bought a few SLR but yet to find one that I'm satisfied with.

I've done my research and this Lumix GF1 is highly spoken of. I personly like its size, about half of the conventional SLR. Lumix GF1 is a micro four thirds system and thus drastically shed off the bulk and weight.

I was deliberating to either get the white or black but finally settled with red. They ran out of white at the expo sale and the black looks so standard. The red colour comes in mat finish which is an advantage over the white which is glossy. Further more I don't want to take the risk of geting the white which could turn yellow over time.

The red, like the white is one of the limited edition, so the sale men said.

2010 Birthday gift #2

Last week I received my second birthday gift  which was from Adeline. It was a facial session at Glow. The facial included diamond peal, crystal mask to hydrate my face and also some ampill to moisturize my skin.

The two hour session was rather relaxing. I especially like the massage on my neck. Don't think all these come cheap. Thanks Adeline for the wonderful treat.

2010 Birthday gift #1

This is my first birthday gift. It was handed to me last month when Lee Shan came back from Hong Kong. I roughly know what it is as it was mentioned in her birthday card.

It is a T shirt from GOD.
I'm saving it to be opened on my birthday.

The bamboo murderer

Have you ever re-potted bamboo before?

Ha ha, we tried and believe me, it was so laborious.
The roots of the bamboos are interwind so tightly that it was impossible to pull the bamboos apart. We have to remove some of the roots and now I'm just wondering whether the bamboos wil survive the trauma.

After two hours, the bamboos are still intact, and we threw down our towel. So now the bambos are sitting there stark naked without their pants, I mean pot.

Sofa nap

Sunny enjoying his nap on the sofa. Someone has to teach him how to sleep elegantly. Hmm ... But seriously, do we look elegant when we sleep?
