Other than the fact that the tree was out more than a month in advance… I also got presents from Daddy…not Christmas presents to be exact, but two gifts he bought on his trip to San Diego were really sweet and made Christmas feel a little closer to heart :) The story was like [...]

All’s so peaceful when you love.

Pardon the disjuncture between the image and what I’m about to write. But there is sort of a relation, even if vague, between how that simple snow appeared so beautiful and me being in love. So yes, I’m in a new phase of my life which is called being in love. Doesn’t happen too often [...]
Bucca di Beppo and Turkey Roasting on Sunday

I have no idea why I wanted this photo taken. Mmm…hands in the turkey looks a bit obscene but, oh well, that’s cooking for you. 40th Street near Market St. A beautiful sight.

Mr Joe the Birthday Boy was sleeping…well, pretending to sleep. The magical walk on Ben Franklin Parkway. Couldn’t resist a warm pretzel in the cold winter afternoon. =)

Covent Garden and Soho.
Posted in Celebrate, Food, Mosey Around on December 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This was at Covent Garden, where there was this guy singing and performing at the basement courtyard, improvising with real people sitting there and pulling them into the performance. This was in front of Covent Garden where there were plenty of shops. The ubiquitous but still charming phone boxes. Another ubiquity – Pubs. I wouldn’t [...]
Christmas Day in London

This is the cool ‘wishing well’ where you call a number and say your wish and see it appear in this little enclosure after a few minutes. They couldn’t spell Gerard but well…aside from that minor glitch this was possibly the best gift I could think of, on Christmas Day when he is miles and [...]
Merry Xmas! – from London, Christmas Eve
Posted in Celebrate on December 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This was St. Paul’s Cathedral…we queued up but didn’t manage to get in unfortunately.. I was so enthralled by this authentic looking parisian-braserrie thing until hongking said ‘oh it’s a chain…’ Should have suspected something fishy with the brightly lit sign =( This is how good their chains are..they are look deceptively authentic. Well, it [...]

This was how Gerard got my address wrong when trying to send me my belated birthday card…cos he wanted to ‘surprise’ me. Well…the card almost never got to me but…fate has it that it did. I got this from the ACI Pollyanna (gift exchange)…Anna got me exactly what I wanted! How sweet…a Josh Groban Christmas [...]
Happy Birthday continues!

Blissfully happy on the eve of my birthday…thinking all there was, was just a harmless cozy dinner with my housemates and extended ‘family’. “Oh no you don’t, Buddy!” – says the evil Saurabh… While Fiona and MingEn are KTV-ing singing Jay Chou songs…(I can see this story is well on its way to becoming an [...]

There were many more pretty photos but I kinda gave up uploading…zzz.. Boston, MA — pretty city with a spectacular harbor, perfect skyscape and quaint old city charm.. Portsmouth, New [...]

Went to NYC again…as the NO trip turned out to be a no-go… Travelled around with Terence and Saurabh, which was a lot of fun… Grand Central Station The guys… This was Saurabh’s superb attempt at getting a shot of me… Their ‘emulation’ of the eesangrollseyes look Which I think Terence did a better job [...]
Split Rock
Posted in Epiphany, Rambling on August 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Totally disappointed with myself man… went all the way to Split Rock and only came back with 23 photos in my camera. Champion… And out of the 23 I think about 15 were Peirong’s flower photos. Which leaves me with these… and what the hell, some of them are damn ‘off’ lah! Like this one…obviously [...]
