but not mine...is LL's bro's. People say Wedding is a 1 day event and marriage is a lifetime thing. I think is true. it takes great effort to manage and maintain the marriage together. this includes alot of trust, communication and love put in it.

anyway, even a day event takes great effort and long time to prepare for it too. so everything is not easy. u need good project management skills lo. haha

the day start for me to reach LL's house to help out in the morning...all prepared for arrival for the bride and groom. gorgous couple. to protect innocent..so i only post picture of the two of us lol...the not so innocent ones lol..

tea ceremony + lunch + phototaking session end at 2pm and i head home for a short break before preparing for the dinner

as usual la..my hair doesnt curl despite perm or watever shit...it look like this before i head out to the hotel (below)...but it look wavy by the time i reach the hotel (above)..faint...

the night is full of fun and laughter. happy hanging out with his cousins and nephews n nieces. the night ended with a sweet desert. May u two hav a blissful marriage! Congrats

was using Nex for some test shots of buildings and Ronnie. personally i think this is a gd camera as the pictures turn out to be very sharp. but it is a little more complicated to use as compared to PEN. PEN is quite straight forward. Of cos, the features from NEX is definitely more than PEN.

both are good cameras that you can pu inside your handbag and carry them around.
below are some of the shots i took last weekend. Pictures of a church.

Ronnie Pictures

Well, i know i just came back from 1 week MC, spend 1 wk of solid time resting at hm and then bk to work for 1 wk and then on leave again for 3 days...

haha... well, my mum went for a holiday to Macau - Zhu Hai and i m suppose to help her to cover some of the duties at hm...so took 3 days to b "housewife" at hm

Housewife, not easy le. it actually covers the role of Chief Finance Officer, CEO and sometimes work of a secretary lo. now then i know my mum's job is not easy le. My dad say if i becomes housewife, the household money confirm not enough cos when i cook, i use alot of real ingredients...and it cost alot of $$ lo..lol

anyway. did 3 days of housewife and then i m sick already. down with flu and slight fever. damm.

cook meals for the family. tough job. u actually need to plan what to cook and what to buy each day..wonder how my mum does it for the family. when i am in Manila, i cook what i feel like eating but here..different le. i must also think of what my dad cannot eat too much , dont like to eat and ...etc.

chinese spinach porridge cooked with alot of dried scallops. hey. i did not add any seasoning..everything is solid from the ingredient one. and thats where my daddy say..wah..u become finance officer confirm go bankrupt one..lol

dinner for the night

 thai style omelette.

fried tong fen.

cabbage soup

pan fried fish fillet...
then for the next day lunch, fried bee hoon with pig throtters. pass some to my 2 uncles and they say is super yummy

hor fun for dinner the next day...

then i took 1 day off yesterday from the housewife job lol..cos down with flu and fever lol...

my dad can only shake his head when he see me sleeping on the sofa with block nose, sneezing and sniffing really hard...

my mum? came back yesterday night also did the same thing too..shaking head ...haha

thats all for my 3 days leave and will come bk with more on my alpha shots

there is a new building open near my home at Bouna Vista MRT. it is suppose to be a church with food + some shopping below it. the restaurants are opened ( not fully) but some. headed down for some yummy food on Sat. the place is quite huge with a couple of restaurants and a food court.

 this time we had our lunch at The Kitchen ~ their food court lol. the food actually is not bad and quite reasonable actually

us goofing around lol

had our deserts at Marble Slab. yummy..sinful lo

i always think sony has some intelligence mount together with the lens u use on the Alpha le. when i use the pancake lens, the food pictures turn out like shit. =( but it looks nice when u take pictures of ppl lor. strange. or is it my skills. WTF

had my roots touched up and added some highlight (red).

did my mani and pedi too..new colors..nice?

heard alot of raves about Ramen @ Marutama.i even thought of putting it as my last good meal before my wisdom tooth extraction..but then again, timing doesnt turn out well so..nevermind, LuffLuff brought me there for lunch.

The broth is cooked using chicken bones which is quite similar to the one in Manila except Marutama's ramen is much thinner ( like wanton noodles). the standard Marutama ramen comes with a piece of char siu and u can choose to add additional toppings like aijituke tamago (japanese soft boil egg) or additional char siu for a piece of 1.5 - 4 bucks depends on the type of toppings.

overall the noodles is very nice. something different from other ramenten.

us with our new colored hair. i added some red stripes lol and touch up the roots ..

the place is rather cosy hehe...

yaki char siu - $6. highly recommend. the char siu is very soft and not overcooked! u still taste the tenderness of the meat when u bite. not salty too except a bit fatty lol.

gyoza - 5 bucks. their gyoza is not pan fried. should b boiled and place in the vinegar. very nice too! some thing different from the normal ones

total damage 49.45 bucks for 2

all pictures are taken using Alpha 5 Nex. guess i still new to the camera..need more practice with it lo

LL has been very busy with work lately. very very busy. working until super late at night, over the weekends too.  despite his busy schedule, he always never fails to accompany me and spend time with me. Thanks LL. Love u so much. and now its my turn too ( i not that busy la..after my classes end 2 wks bk). so this is just me..while waiting for him to come down for dinner.

so i try to squeeze in some short me time with him...just want to spend some time with him, making sure he takes his meals and not skipping them due to work.

had the exact food we had during our valentines day. the food is still the same ( first time i had them since i came bk from manila), the company is still the same too ( just me and luffluff). boy, i miss him so much now. just want to hear his voice all the time.

our fav dishes

Spend some solid drink session time with the ex MBS folks @ Yu Crusine. there is a 1 for 1 promotion - Beer, Wine ...so there we are...enjoying ourselves , spending our time catching up with one another.

the beer...for the beer guys..

the wonderful guys i ever met..

Its been a week since i had a yummilious dinner lol. After my wisdom tooth extraction, food is either porridge or yogurt lol. no solid food. so here i m, dying for some gd food to fill my stomach!

LuffLuff bought us to Asian Market Cafe on Sun for a buffet dinner. The total cost for 3 pax is approx 170 after discount from POSB/DBS credit card.

the food variety is quite similiar to international buffet except that is more Asian food. Food taste is so so only. Frankly speaking, i m not a fan of buffets cos i dont really eat much. Quality and Quantity , i choose quality over quantity. haiz. so as usual la, i lugi when comes to buffet..but i try to make it all up by drowning myself with all the sashimi there..lol

the more expensive food that i take there...other than fresh oysters?  haiz. i dont take oysters too ....so..

Brought Alpha out for dinner on Sat. been a long time since i dine outside. lol. met up with LL for dinner (he has been working late for the past few days). caught the fierce wife and dinner @ Ajisens @ VIVO.

Ajisens come up with the new Tomyam ramen and our verdict - so so only lol. but is a new taste for a change.

the gyoza which i also find it so so only

another food which i cannot remember the name but it taste like tako balls except is flat with so tong and veges added

overall u can see our expressions haha..not so gd dinner after all

the camera so far i m quite happy with it. will test it out more on the night shots and will b bringing it for my korea trip together with my d90

Ditching my PEN...and i turn to Sony Alpha. the thing is like this. i wanted to get a new camera after handling a micro four. so i did some research and i set my eyes on a J2 - the newer version of Nikon J1.

you might be wondering y i want to do a downgrade from a PEN to J2? although my EPL1 is the first generation of Micro four, but it has served me well and the specs is slightly better than J2 except J2 comes with some intelligence built in the camera itself.

so i called a couple of camera shops and they told me that they have j2 in their shop. then i decided to pop by to take a look. i almost wanted to get it cos the camera with kit 10-33mm is about 600 plus and the pancake lens is 270 which total up to be about 900 plus. then the shop assistant show me nex 5N and show me all the good features of Nex5N. less than 15 mins, i drop the idea of getting a j2 already..

why? Sony uses a bigger sensor which has the cropped factor of 1.5 (same as my d90). the price of dual kit lens is 936 which is still cheaper than j2 with better specs. the only concern is that the lens for Sony is quite limited and expensive. after much consideration, i decided to go ahead with the purchase cos i dont intend to get alot of lens for my micro. the basic ones will do. so here i am, with alpha. my first sony camera.

the bundle includes a dual kit lens (18-55mm and 16mm), a herringbone bag, a detachable external flash, 1 8G SD memory card and a extra sony battery

i will be selling my EPL1 together with my olympus LENS soon to offset my purchase. hehe..any takes please PM me lol.

below are some of the test shots from Alpha. the quality is quite good.
