28 Dec - Accompany Wenwei and shun bian accompany Victor & Kok Ngee to shopping for their IA formal wear. The crowds at Orchard are really a pain in the ass. Everywhere is SALES and everywhere are people squeezing people.

Busy and tired...

Had been busy touring around Singapore ever since Wenwei has his bro's car for a few days. My legs are getting paralyzed from the convenience of his bro's car.

Sat - T3 & Marina Barrage

Sun - Outing with his parents (I forgot where we went)

Mon - Heartland road trip (to the farms)

Tue - KTV

Today - Movie and dinner

The road trip was not bad. The frog farm did gave us a shock as most of the ponds were empty, left only a few frogs. Quite deserted.

T3

Wow, tiring day for both Wenwei and me. I need to navigate and Wenwei needs to drive. I wanna be princess sia, don't want to be navigator. We drove to Farmway, then to T3, then to Marina Barrage. T3 is so damn beautiful lo. Taxpayers money well-spent. Ate at Earle Swensens, the service is very good unlike the one at Vivo.

flower1

Some weird structure. They even have an story for the robotic flower.

DSCF2119

Nice transit lounge. Wish I'm inside... I can't find Cher in the transit lounge.

DSCF2128

Very ang-moh style cafe. We can only drool from above.

DSCF2161 

DSCF2132

Excellent customer service. How do I judge? By filling our glasses with ice water constantly. It's simple but yet not many restaurants are able to do it. I ever experienced in Brewerkz (Riverside Point) that we needed to request umpteen times for a glass of ice water. That bad la!

angmoh1

This angmoh warned me not to take pictures of him. See his fingers. Who cares?! So he told the waitress to ask me to stop taking pictures.

I made up this story. He was friendly and even smiled at me.

Wenwei said this picture could be better if taken with Incandescent lighting, not Fluorescent lighting. Though all books mentioned that food photography should be taken with either natural light or incandescent, I feel it should also bring out the atmosphere where the food was being savoured.

DSCF2158

Taken with Fluorescent lighting

DSCF2159

Taken with Incandescent lighting. Which one is better? Personally, I like the picture taken with Fluorescent lighting.

DSCF2162

I like this picture.

Here comes my food photography frenzy...

I still prefer Fluorescent lighting (top picture).

DSCF2199

Wah lau... I wonder how much they spend to polish the floor until so glossy lo!

marina

Marina Barrage. I think it will look nicer in daytime. Can't see much at night. Or maybe I did not bring my tripod which nearly made me jumped down the bridge. Cos tripod is like so important for night shots la and I forgot to bring it with me. Stupid me.

Anyway...

Looking forward to the road trip on Monday!!! Yeah!
