School Photographer

I had become one of my school’s official camera men while studying in my secondary school. I still remember the good and bad experiences during that period. The good experiences was I always allow to go the restrict area to do my shooting as an ‘official photographer’; lot people also treat my differently like more friendly to me.

The bad experiences or tedious thing was always need to manually sort the photographs, take orders and send the photos to the related classes, it was really time consuming and tedious.

My Photography Hobby

I just tidy up my cupboard today and rearranged my photo albums. I had thrown away many old photos and old films; it took up too much space of my cupboard.

I love photography and ever thinking about became a photographer, so I had borrow camera to do lot shooting until I afforded to buy a camera. My first camera was SLR camera Nikon401x, and then second one was Nikon601.

Before the digital camera launch to the market, the world was using film to shoot the photos; hence it was a quiet expensive hobby. I had spent lots moneys to do the shootings, sometimes wasted lots film to shoot for experimental purposes. I had tried various ASA standard films from ASA100 to ASA800; that ASA 800 – ASA 6400 was used by professional photographers for special purposes as I know.Due to digital camera launched to the world, the world having a big changes. Those film based camera was seldom using be the public except certain specialist; my Nikon 601 had given to one of my friend and I just bought a Olympus 3.2 mega pixels compact camera 4 years ago.I was planning to buy a new Nikon SLR camera when I have time to do more serious photo shooting in future. I still keep my Nikon SB-22 Flash! Heehee!

Caricature session at Singapore Flyer

Did a caricature session at Singapore Flyer. That was great to meet the happy and friendly guests there although the weather was real hot, the group of the guests I drawn was mostly having strong and obvious face types that was very easy to draw; because sometimes it could be came across certain type of faces which was too common or too perfect like those portrait drawing books references model or sculpture, it add more difficulties to highlight their features.They also having 'Kich and Win' game for the guest, interesting games.

Another day in the market

The Ang Mo Kio Market busy and crowded as usual, but some food had been increased their priced to 20 cents to 50cents due to inflation.
Past by the ‘salted-pointed-biscuit’ stall, bought this ‘you tiao’ (not ‘youtube’, haahaa!), 70 cents! No wonder no longer having long queue customers anymore.
One hawker told me that 7 July onwards will be some renovation on the floor on the hawker center, it takes 3 weeks to complete, so I need to think about where to have ne breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Just Some Photos

There were always crowded with peoples at the Cheng Shan Market and Cooked Food Center in Saturday and Sunday and public holidays. Usually at the morning and lunch time period periods, it was hard to get seat in such particular days.

Friend’s New Shop

More and more people wanted to do their own business and became boss now, one more friend had opened a shop that selling Myanmar souvenirs and dry foods. I wish him having a good business and all the best to him.

I AM Free on This Friday

Hmm…today got no Friday’s booking for event, so I just stay at home a do some housekeeping. Can’t remember how long I didn’t clean and tidy my house but finally I did it today!
Bought some sushi from NTUC market at Ang Mo Kio HUB, and treat as my dinner with my favorite ASAHI Draft beer!

I realized that Asahi draft was perfect drink the match with that Sushi or Japanese food. If you just purely dring Asahi beer, you will just felt it just a beer, but if you eat few pieces of sushi (must go with Japanese Kikoman Soy sauce) and drink this beer, you will immediately found the big different of this beer!

No wonder some food magazine was advice different food should go with different beverage. Life was very interesting! Heehee!
