reliving my dreams

Hi 2013!! 

Please treat me well this year. :)

Before I start, I would like to show what I have achieved in Photography throughout 2012.

Like I have mention million times before, Photography has been part of me since I was a kid. I was made the photography girl for weddings, events, gatherings etc~

I remembered it like it was just yesterday when I got my 1st camera when I was 11. And hey, cameras run through rolls of film, if any of you actually know what are those. haha~

I really liked taking pictures back then because I can capture all the moments or memories that are forgotten. 

Having see the pictures really made me go down the memory lane. 

Time flew and lookie now, we have digital camera which no longer need any films, just your memory card. :)

I really love technology, don't you? Technology has really made our lives easier. 

I started testing my skills after photography class ended, which was around May; and then so on.

I then got the hang of it and actually did a mini shoot every day in the evening to sharpen my skills.

For oct, I decided to play around more and try a night shot; not just a normal night shot, but the lights on the road at night. :D

I really love it when I see others managed to capture the perfect road scene at night with the speed of light. 

Not only that, I did a few sunset shot seeing as the clouds was miraculously awesome the last few months.

However, during the month of Nov and Dec, I was lack of shots as I returned the DSLR to my friend hence I relied on my digital camera. 

I still did some shoots but lesser, and more of clouds. :)

I hoped you enjoyed this boring post of my pix.

I hope to do better and capture more amazing shots this year. 2013 ganbatte, fighting! 

xoxo~

Dream Dream Dream.

Was overjoyed when I got the chance to visit this bakery/pastry house ever since I heard about it. 

Yes, it is Dreamz Bakery. OMG~

This bakery is well-known for its home-ly feel, vintage and cute decos and of course, their specialty, the mille crepe cake.

I must thank my bro Jin again for taking me there. -hugs-

I was greatly welcomed by this cute signboard at the staircase. Cute right? -winks-

When I entered the bakery, all I could say was "OMG", "cute", and "so vintage".

Yeap, that's me. Take me anywhere vintage and cute, and that's it! You'll get hell loads of squeals from me. teehee~

There was array choices of mille crepes. I wanted to go for the original as it's the famous one but since I had it before, I thought I try something different.

So what did I chose in the end?

The strawberry & raspberry mille crepe cake... and a glass of iced cappuccino.

The verdict?

Its deliciously yummy. I mean, im not a fan of strawberry, really but I guess the mixture of strawberry and raspberry made it nice.

However, I did wish that every layer had strawberry instead of the top only.

Jin ordered the carbonara. He said its really good, and yea, it is! Yum...

Hello, December!

The start of the month has gotten me all excited, as my birthday is around the corner and so is Christmas! 

I love love love Christmas, although I don't celebrate this wonderful day but I love the colours, the vibe and ambience of the festivity.

Well, so far I have been catching up with HongKong dramas, animes and sleep of course.

Thanks to college, I have really been lacking in sleep. It is the only time for me to catch up on my beauty sleep.

I was in Kinokuniya the other day and I always couldn't resist Japanese stationeries. 

I have a serious obsession with Japanese stationeries, especially... Sentimental Circus!

So, Sentimental Circus has just launched their new series (i think), The King and Joker? haha... Im not really sure what it's called.

But anyhoo, just to show you what I bought. (boo, all my savings... T^T)

Cute lil notepad

Cannot-resist Stickers! :)

A4 sized folders...

Thus, total Shappo stuffs bought

Cute right? Its so cute till I do not even have the heart to use it.

Its nicely kept in my cupboard... collecting dust. orz

Hope you have a wonderful Thursday ahead. 

Fly Away

I wish I was a bird, then I can fly away from this thing called gravity which is holding me to the ground.

What if... Life wasn't hard.

What if... Life was fair.

What if...

The question of 'what if' usually comes to mind to a person who is always lost in their thoughts, or another word, 'daydream'.

Dream is not a bad thing, it never is and never will.

A person dreams to escape from reality and enters their own imaginary world, to dream on why life is still worth living.

A person's imagination would be limited by its dream-less thoughts.

So dream dream dream... 
Like how I always dream that I could fly away from all this and do the things I love most. Art, Music & Photography.

"Hold fast to dreams; for if dreams die, life is but a broken-winged bird that cannot fly." - Edgar Allan Poe

p/s: was trying out light leaks on this pic. And i'm... kinda loving the effect. Hope to do more in the future. :)

Love for All Things Vintage

Heys my lovelies,

So, im just dropping a quick update on my shopping spree I did the day before.

Apparently, my mum was being very generous that day and was letting me buy quite a number of stuffs.

I finally got a pair of new pumps/ballet flats. My old one was around 3 years and it was really tearing apart. orz

So here's a quickie on the flats from Sach. Yes, all thing's white is my fav. :) I love it so much. Thanks mum.
