wondering …wanderlust …

i am still thinking what the photo theme should be for my trip in February. i might just bring all my gear and decide along the way …..

it has been a year since i ‘seriously’ think about photography … no more as a hobbyist but as an active pursuit. it has been good but i do realise i need to get out of Singapore more to be inspired. i wonder how other active photographers feel but often i couldn’t bring myself to take alot of shots around the homeland. something about our surroundings… something about the vibes that kill my zest the moment i take my camera out. it’s hard to describe… i just don’t feel the urge. i depend alot on feelings and contextual vibes when it comes to shooting. i get bored and restless easily… so i suppose that makes things so much harder if i am in a constant environment. i love singapore, but i can’t seem to be inspired by the environment. it works fine for me living here, but somedays i find no motivation at all.

just visit a local photographer, Mandy Tay .. got me inspired once more.

i need to TRAVEL.. and to find my bearing.

… just go..

in my little ways and few trips…i wholeheartedly agree with this article..

travel with abandon… travel with care, love and self respect…

on another note…

met chek right after my trip back today and i was happy to catch up with him! we shared our updates and next travel destinations … all so fun…he always inspires me to travel and learn new stuff! yay!

sun, beach and waters…

sunrise

some things in life can never be captured with a camera. sunsets and sunrises… you can never ever capture the magnificence of both except with your eyes and heart. waking up at 540am was nothing compared to a full silent 15 minutes of watching sunrise. i was deeply moved.

this year, i manage to capture and bask both sunrise and sunset in its full grandeur during my holidays… and i think both scenes will stay forever etched in my memory. never have i felt such an immense need to thank Nature for such wonders. …

so calming to my spirit. so calming…..

beach holiday

forever please! heh

set!

my next beach vacation soon.

WOOHOO.

sun waves and the books!

some fun in life

the boys cracked me up with their lame jokes… completely. poor victor. keke!

i re-arranged my entire room with my brother’s and sister in law’s help. i cleaned up my bookshelf and packed my room the way i wanted. it was an awesome feeling when i finally sat back, relaxed, played my music, burnt some oils.

i figured some parts of my life out over the weekend, thanks to a cassette tape and a senior mentor.

i chatted with my folks over our hong kong trip and they got excited over the places i am bringing them with my brother/sister in law. keke. friends and myself are planning for another trip end of this year. another gang of friends is looking for a weekend trip two months from now… two girlfriends want to go for a short retreat in another two weeks’ time and the offer is too good to pass… looks like a lot of pre-planning work but oh so nice and fun! and ….my dive trip!

now i am on my way to dream about Bali next weekend.

MY ROOM’S AUDIO ROCKS NOW. heehee. LOVE.
