B&W Pulau Ubin

It’s easier to shoot in colour than in black & white. It is so difficult to visualise everything in black & white, taking care of the composition, exposure, contrast, etc.

Yet so many people are drawn to black & white photography. I hope you will like these photos as much as I have enjoyed taking it.

I wonder how long have the tyres been bumping up and down along the same route? Will they be ever replaced?

Simple lifestyle with simple food.

Scarecrow not found anywhere else. Did you dive?

There are a lot of work going on Ubin, but please don’t change too much!

You can be walking alone, but someone is watching over you.

The road is long …

Plantronics BackBeat GO 2

Teaser

Are you a on-the-go person? Do you love music? I ticked both boxes. So I was more than thrilled when the chance was presented for me to try out the latest Plantronics wireless earbuds, BackBeat GO 2.

It was even more appealing since the previous earphone I had was a normal wired one. I can only start to imagine the convenience in having a wireless earbuds that fits my rather active lifestyle.

In the coming one month, I will be putting the earbuds to the test. Will it enhance the quality of my life as it so promotes? Are the claims true? Is it really Sweat Proof? Tangle Free? Is the audio up to the mark? All these and many more queries will hopefully be answered along the way.

I hope you will join me in this journey to unbox the Plantronics BackBeat GO 2 wireless earbuds. Check out the official hashtag for this product review: #sgBackBeatGO2

Like It Forward by SingPost

This year to celebrate World Post Day, SingPost is working with Jamiyah Children’s Home by creating Cherished Moments for children.

SingPost created a ‘LIKE it Forward’ app as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative.

To encourage Singaporeans to bring smiles to children and rediscover the joys of gifting, SingPost has organised a campaign where users can ‘like’ and ‘share’ doodles drawn by 22 children from Jamiyah Home.

Here are the simple steps:

1. VISIT the ‘GALLERY’ (https://www.facebook.com/CherishedMomentsBySingPost/)

2. READ the story behind each child and the gift they wish for

3. ‘LIKE’ to make a child’s wish come true

4. SMILE because you’re one step closer to making a child really happy!

From now till 11 November 2013, SingPost’s ‘Like it Forward’ will allow Singaporeans to give a child a gift and make a world of difference in a child’s life – by Facebook ‘Likes’! Each drawing represents a child’s desired gift. SingPost will sponsor the desired gift to the child at the end of the campaign period.

I am not getting anything for this promotion, just doing my part as a parent to help the underprivileged children.

LIKE it now!

Family Outing @ The Gardens

Family means ‘Father And Mother I Love You’. And it’s such a joyous opportunity when I was able to bring my mother and both my in-laws out on a Sunday afternoon to Gardens by the Bay.

Special thanks to Gardens by the Bay for making it possible for our family. It’s pretty cool to be known as ‘Garden Angels’, first time I am addressed as an angel. Nice ring to it!

It was the first time some of the family members ever stepped foot on the gardens. So we were like tourists on our own soil.

First stop was lunch at the very nicely decorated Verandah Contemporary Bristo.

Try out the Curry Chicken and Tom Yum Seafood Pasta if you are there. I’m quite sure you would not regret.

 

Kids’ meals are so appetising too!

 

The girls with their favourite grandmothers.

From Oct 14 – Nov 10, the Flower Dome is celebrating Deepavali with new flower field display.

A nice family photo in the Flower Dome.

Another family photo in the Cloud Forest.

The Lee Family – Nigel, Father and Kless. In front of her dad, Kless will always be like a little girl. Sweet!

The girls’ favourite is definitely the man-made waterfall.

As for me, I prefer the flowers and plants.

 

 

By the way, if you have taken some nice photos at The Gardens, why not submit some of your photos for the GardenScapes Photography Exhibition. Submission details: http://bit.ly/GardenScapesforAngels

It was also the first time for all of us to go up the OCBC Skyway. For $5/adult or $3/child, I would highly recommend it, the view was spectacular!

 

Quoting a favourite phrase from Joey, "This is the best outing ever!"
