Diptych Fun

So here are 3 sets of photos utilizing the diptych method. Once again, these photos were taken sometime back – probably in December 2010.

Unlike our usual photoshoots, these use natural lighting – which I think is awesome.

Interesting fact: For the first 2 sets below, which were actually from the same photoshoot, I was running a very high fever (almost 40 degrees celcius!). But like a boss, I pushed myself through it.

Don’t you just love my hoodie? It’s the Red Sea! So when I unzip my hoodie, it’s like I’m parting the Red Sea. Get it?

Diptych 3

This photo was taken at a post Christmas lunch at Fish & Co. No connection whatsoever between the two photos unless you want to consider my hunger to be the tying factor.

That’s all for this short post!

Had a random photoshoot today, despite me not being in the mood for smiles the entire day.

Personally I think this photo does not look like me at all, I have no idea why. Maybe it’s just me. It’s like my face looks a little too long and that I look almost Japanese.

If you think it’s the glasses that makes me look different, well that’s because those glasses aren’t mine. They belong to FP. I was wearing his too-big-for-me glasses while wearing my contact lenses (with similar degrees to his glasses) so it’s as if I was wearing 2 pairs of glasses.

Needless to say, I had a bit of a headache after the photoshoot was over.

And because the glasses were too big for me, I had to hold it up that way so it stays there, lol.

But I kinda like this photo because it’s quirky instead of another pretty photo. Pretty photos are normally taken on my own with my camera and/or blackberry – in the form of camwhoring.

A simple moment in time

I love this photo. It was taken during an impromptu photoshoot that was set up in the back seat of a car.

It was a long drive so while I found myself in a relaxed pose equipped with a book, FP decided to set up his equipment right at the backseat and he just kept snapping photos. I didn’t even pose for a single shot, I just minded my own business reading my book.

Perhaps that is precisely the reason why I love this photo. How natural and relaxing it looks. I was curled up in the corner of the backseat, reading trashy chick lit (seriously). I was at my natural relaxed state.

I was at my natural best :D

It is indeed a very serene photo, that speaks volume about personal time and space. And about just being relaxed and unguarded.

Or maybe, just like many other things, I’m just reading too much into the picture. But, a picture is worth a thousand words, no?

Princess Goes Prawning

This photo was so well taken (just at the right moment), that I have to post it up here. Thanks Kawan E! :)

In case the rest of you are wondering what exactly is going on in the photo, we went prawn fishing on one of the weekends a couple of months back. And what you saw in the photo above is basically the first prawn that FP and I caught together! of course I got all excited. Little things like this get me all revved up for no reason at all, lol.

And just as I was about to hold our little baby prawn, it PINCHED me.

While it wasn’t that painful, it was certainly a shocker that caused me to shriek. And that was the very moment this photo was snapped.

There’s always a story behind every photo, don’t you think? :)

While prawning is a novel activity for me, it actually bored me (a reaction that was already anticipated by FP long before we all decided to go prawn fishing). I got bored because we had to wait and wait for the little prawns to bite the bait. And I hate waiting as a norm :P

But we managed to catch 3-4 prawns that day, which was quite an achievement because it started raining so heavily all of a sudden. The rain was so heavy that we were forced to stop prawning (thank god!). We got so drenched and was all wet!

At first our hero here tried to well – be a hero and continued to prawn. But we soon discovered it is even harder in the rain (albeit more challenging) because the waters become very choppy and it became difficult to tell if the prawns are biting the bait or not. Oh well.

LOL, that’s a photo of us braving the rain. As if my hoodie will prevent me from getting all wet hahaha! Due to the sudden thunderstorm and heavy rain, we were forced to stop. But we still have another hour on the tab. So till next time.

When is next time, Kawan E, Kawan C and FP?

:D

Meeting my Fans

My recent trip to Jakarta was slightly different than previous ones. No, I am not talking about random earthquakes and fasting in another country. It’s something else.

This time round I have fans waiting ardently for me, no kidding.

Never before in my life have I been greeted by starstruck eyes while shaking hands.

Or have people so eager to take photos with me. (I do love taking photos by default, camwhore even. But having people asking to take photos with me just made me feel like a star hahahahaha!)

Before my trip, I haven’t met any of my “fans” before, mainly because they are new members to my team. So they read this humble blog of mine. Surprisingly, after reading my blog, they became inspired to update their own blogs!

I must be doing something right with this blog to inspire young budding bloggers to blog. And I’m happy that my simple effort of jotting down my thoughts has inspired others.

It’s these small things that makes everything worthwhile when you think about it.

It is really nice to feel looked up to, welcomed and adored. Not that I do not adore them, I do! <3!

So here they are, my cute and lovely fans (hehehe):

fan girls

It was really nice to have met you girls, not because of the attention or gifts – but because all of you are really nice girls :)

Thanks for the love and laughter. More photos next time, alright? :D
