Nikon D90 | AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G | ISO500 | f/2 | 1/15 | Despite the intention, our tree is still not up yet. I’m still busy prepping, selecting ornaments, thinking, or making new ornaments, as I always do every year. I probably enjoy this part more than the actual tree decorating. This drives my kids crazy, of course, because all they want to do is to decorate our Christmas tree, especially after looking at all these colourful and sparkly things […]

Say good-bye to today’s sun. This was the last capture of the day. The beautiful golden light that shone through the front window just too pretty to miss. Nikon D90 | AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G | ISO125 | f/2.5 | 1/800 |

These shoes were new. Only a week old. Someone has been playing way, way too hard while wearing these shoes, as shown by the huge gaping hole. Ms 4 was at a super hero party wearing spiderman costume when she wrecked them. Either fighting crime was too hard work, or we, her parents, need to buy better quality (pricier?) shoes next time.

Day 282 #Project365

Saying goodbye is always hard. This time I had to say goodbye to an ‘old friend’. This old jeans of mine and I have gone way back. We were perfect for each other, we were together almost every day. It was like a match made in heaven. (We all know how hard it is to find the perfect pair of jeans.) Then I started noticed a rip, but I didn’t care. The rip was ‘expected’, you see, it was a […]

When you are as tall as my dog, you find out that not many things are within your eye level. Yes, there are the likes of toddlers, other Labradors, people crotches, or bums, and people’s knees when they are sitting down to look at, but the rest is either on the floor or way above your head. It is a human world after all. Understanding the above aspects, I totally get why our coffee table is one of dog’s favourite […]

This is a vision of a promise. A promise of something sweet to come. Literally, of course, and figuratively speaking. Cupcakes brings out the meaning of fun. It might be sugar-powered fun, but fun nonetheless. My daughter got so excited just from distributing these colourful paper cups on the tray. What flavour will it be? How about the topping, what’s the colour? Can I help decorate? Oh, the anticipation… We have to wait a bit longer to see the end […]

The natural light at A Bite to Eat cafe this morning, as I was sitting facing the window, was so delicious it made this dish looked even yummier. The sun that came from the front window was soft and so perfectly diffused it touched everything in the room beautifully. Eclectically called Tweed, this dish of smoked mackerel, potato cake, leek spinach and poached egg, was not only photogenic, it was super delish. I 100% believed my foodie friend who happily […]

Day 219 #Project365

A hectic Monday this turned out to be. Million things I needed/and wanted to do but I had such limited time (and energy) that by the time the kids were in bed I felt totally exhausted and couldn’t do half of the things I still wanted to do. Groceries was one the things I did today, and what I found inside my shopping bag was the source of my inspiration for today’s post. It’s the color YELLOW. It’s the dominating colour in my […]
