Steven and I travelled to Malaysia for landscape photography just around midnight last Friday. We didn’t get the Milky Way shot we were hoping for but we had fun at the beach shooting sunrise. On our way back to Singapore, we made a stop at the famous Kiang Kee Bak Kut Tea (Teh) 强记肉骨茶 for … Continue reading →

Birding seemed to be in fashion for the past few weeks even among the noob birders because we had several charming visitors! The spotted wood owls, the sunbirds and… Pin-tailed Whydahs are not endemic to Singapore and thus a big hooha arose when they were discovered in Pulau Punggol Barat. What’s even better is that … Continue reading →

The Sunbirds are in town and there’s a baby involved! This was my 3rd session of birding within a week and I had a great time progressing from the spotted wood owls to the laced woodpeckers and now sunbirds! It was not easy shooting these extremely lively little birds but lucky me, I made new … Continue reading →

The most recent photography craze I got into was birding. It is a very challenging genre in photography. As Evp David, a macro kaki, puts it: “Birding is another skill set in photography Semi Han, endurance and patience are Key…” Both which I lack! But for me, it was the company that counted in outings … Continue reading →

Almost all our lunch were consumed in the bus in between journeys to the different locations for our photography sessions. This was the second trip (first experience was *Bromo) I had food served this way. The experience was similar to eating on flight sans the tray table on the back of seats, our bags or … Continue reading →

Our whole trip from 6th – 9th March 2015 in Yogyakarta was a damper! I meant literally. It rained everyday and there goes our sunrise sunset photography outings. Our first sunset stop was turned around when the sky cleared and we didn’t want to give up on Prambanan Temple. “The Prambanan temple is the largest … Continue reading →

When I was in school, Borobudur Temple was considered one of the 7 wonders of the world. Some say this ancient site is no longer in the new 7 wonders of the world’s list. As a child learning history of Southeast Asia back then, I was awed but never thought that one day, I would … Continue reading →

I was on full steam last week with a few Malaysian friends heading back to their hometown for reunion dinners so we had ours earlier. No doubt Lo Hei was served earlier this year, too!

Can you believe another Lunar New Year is fast approaching? Time really flies especially when one is older. Oh how I wish I could prolong the days, better yet freeze them, hahaha… There’s so much to do and so little time.
