A face in the crowd
I was trying to capture the charm of a quiet alley in Spain and just snap the photo. Inevitably, my travel partner became my subject in the photo. It could probably interpret as a lone traveller walking down a quiet street in the middle of a big city. To me, it serves as a portrait of him having travel to this part of the world, wandering and lost in this city. The following are some of the faceless portraits I had shown in some of my blog posts. Check them out if you are interested. Ladies in kimono while walking in Kyoto. The kimonos were so vibrant in colours I…

Sweet
Valentine’s Day is a day where couples shower each other with sweetness, whether it is chocolates, desserts or a sweet gesture of giving a rose. Even towards family members, giving sweetness like cooking a meal, playing games together or simply spending time accompany each other to show their love to one another. This Valentine’s Day I decided to have brunch at The Coffee Academic at Scott Square Singapore. This was where I tried this dubbed as ‘the most Instagrammed coffee in the World’, Coffee In The Cone. The interior of the cone is coated with chocolate. Instead of ice cream, warm coffee is added into the cone. A stirrer is…

While this dearest of yours can make you feel strong and powerful, but it can make you vulnerable and bring you to your knees. To my beloved – Sunrise. Every Sunset reduces one day from life… But every Sunrise gives one…

Variations on a theme
Mosaics have always fascinated me. They are very colourful, have different patterns, made by a variety of elements and always give you a sense of being in a maze. Sometimes, at a certain angle, together with sunlight, the elaborate mosaics appear to turn into shining stars just like our night sky. Other times, the intricate mosaics become paintings of flowers, hang on the walls for people to stare at. With their kaleidoscopic colours, they can simply turn into a beautiful sculpture or a tough-to-solved jigsaw puzzle. Mosaics, they look the same, but yet they are so different. Our lives are unique stones in the mosaic of human existence- priceless and…

Silence
Living in a city-state, noise becomes inevitably part of my life. The hustling and bustling sound can sometimes be a nuisance or irritant especially when I seek peace and quiet. Of course, people would suggest going to the outskirts or mountains to get away from all the noise. But, not everytime I could do something like that, just pack my bags and leave my place. So this is where these soundproof windows come in. The windows in my apartment, not just serve as a protective layer from the rain and dust, but also insulate my rooms from the noise pollutions coming from the traffics and construction sites. When I close…
