Kerala, Trivandrum

Coconut trees were seen almost everywhere, coconut was served as welcome drinks almost every time too! So yes, by then I knew I was in India alright, of coconuts, buttermilk & papadom. This getaway was a lovely one, with college mates.

The sunrise and sunset were all amazazinggggg. I lovelovelove it! Too bad I was sick midway through the trip, so I was too sick and energy level was at zero to even take the camera out, sigh. And yes, I was in the jinx of going to India and having some kinda stomach upset and such. Eyuck, it was horrible and disgusting I tell you :P

The one night stay at the boathouse was nice too, except for being sick started right after we left the boathouse, haha. The food was so so good, yummy and fresh! We even got to watch the WC via satellite and woke up so so early in the morning to take pictures and was greeted by the awesome misty sunrise, kids going to school with the school boat instead of bus, housewives rolling out their chores and etc. And oh! Bathing with freezing icy cold water reminded me of NS, good thing I had a good three month practice :)

See, I kid you not about the coconut trees :P

And of course, a HUGE thank you goes to Govind and his family. We had a great holiday, thank you all the planning, good food and warm company :)

note: there are more pics, but it's taking forever to upload. shall find a slideshow thingy soon and post more. loves xxx

Digital Photography's Final Assignment

It was crazily hard thinking of a theme to do, Daffee was pushing me to the maximum possible, finally we agreed on something.

The theme was The Strength Of Women In Life and the doughnut that was in every picture was as a comfort food through life and it slowly gets less and less as a little girl grows up to an elderly lady. It was fun buying doughnuts every week and getting them "models" to pose for me. What made it extra special was everybody that was featured were people very close and dear to me :) We have Olivia & Isabel to My Lovelies to Chechi to Mommy and Grandmother. And thankfully, the judges were pleased with all the pictures and the comments by them made my day indeed. I was worried they wouldn't understand the theme, but I was wrong, they loved it and completely understood everything including the float to resemble a doughnut! :P A first mini exhibition was definitely a huge success! And here's a huge thank you to everyone who helped from giving ideas to being models and reminding me not to give up. Hugs.

ps; and now the frame featuring Ollie & Issie has signatures and kind words from everyone at the exhibition sitting in my room. it reminds my why I love photography and to keep pursuing it even further :)

This CNY season

It was our first CNY without Along around. Yes, work is keeping her back, tsk tsk. But nevertheless, was a good break from school and spending time with the family.

And this little boy here kept us all busy and happy :)




...and the week before that, one of our assignments for digital photography's was studio photography. So we had a simple introduction on how to use the lightings etc. And of course, knowing me, I'll say have some fun aside from just snapping for the sake of the assignment.


So I asked AD & wifey to hv some shots taken first, then all of us :)











am still busy finishing assignments. check out my flickr for more updates! :D
hugs to all!

Friday the 31st.

it was a day with good friends from high school,

from a satisfying good meal to snapping pictures like silly jakuns,

from settling our long craving of seven sins at delectable finally,

to sneaking it in while watching the proposal,

from drooling over ryan reynolds to enduring the crazy kl traffic on a friday evening,

from trying every possible short cut to get home to snapping photos at every traffic light stop.

nothing beats high school friends, xoxo.
