Sony Aino~

My long awaiting phone finally came this evening after a long shopping with sis n mum at Jurong Point.

Initially was contemplating a Sony SATIO, simply because they came in "BRIGHT RED" and i usually make silly decision, blinded by the "redness" in my eyes. However, this time, i kinda made a more sensible decision....

The SATIO is a overly sized "behemoth" out to kill!
With super huge sized screen and super duper 12 megapixels camera, there is none other phone that can match its strength at this moment. (Please dun compare it with the Pixon12, its little brother is pretty much a dud and i assume this is too. No punt intended!)

This time i let my head think a bit and end up getting this little mean machine that looks super duper cool.... (Esp with its stand!)
I think the package is much more worth it.
For $858, we got a 8.1Megapixel camera that is pretty awesome, a GPS enabled phone and a beautiful bluetooth headset with its very own stand! I told myself, i already dumped much $$$ into my camera hobby and more to be spent soon. lol and i wanted to use the cam to take most of my food shots that i use for blogging. (New lens contemplating.... lol) I jus need a decent phone that allows me to connect to facebook when required. (My current iPod can only access when there is WIFI) Preferably a good GPS for navigating, though i dun need them most of the time. (My head is already a great navigator. lol)

So here comes Aino~



Getting tired, maybe i will post more, when i got to use it more...

Hort Park 21 Sept

Was at Hort Park with CC n Adeline last month to try out our new purchase. I also brought out my Tammy 55-200 to try and caught some amazing shots! (Amazing to my eyes la, though there are lotsa room for improvements!) I shall leave the talking to the photos~

Josh trying out his New Canon 450D. Shot at 200mm length. Guess he didnt like his shot. lol

CC trying to find his butterfly

Some flowers to start the day. :)

More flowers~

My first insect shot!

 Oh man... Now i so wish i got a Marco lens...

Surprisingly, they still look reasonably good. :)

Insect....

White butterfly, totally blend into the background.

More butterflies.

These are a filter of more the 200 pictures. Some are jus shit...

Nice flowers...

I felt the performance of the cheap Tammy lens worthwhile with this shots showing the fine details.

The Lizard...

My fav photo! But i guess of there was a marco lens, the detail would be more!!!

I felt its pretty sharp here.

Good contrast i think.

Love the colours~

Carrot anyone?!?

Mini dragon fruit plant!

I didn't know African Violet look like this. I remembered they are popular for something... Mmm....

To round the day up, a group photo!

Beary Ramen!~

Was home for dinner tonight even though mum is not at home cooking. But i suddenly had the urge of making one nice instant noodles and this was jus there!

It was one of the "many type of food" that my mum n sis bought from Hokkaido. Apparantly they bought so much that the seller gave them a huge box to bring back. lol

The package looks impressive and interesting for a Japanese instant ramen. Sis came back before i finish cooking and was telling me that the noodles is not that nice as the soup was soy sauce base, just like wat the package says. But i have already set my mind cooking and already have an idea how to cook it. She did mention to me to use spring onions to bring out the soy sauce flavour and looks more authentic. (Jus like wat was ate in Tyoko before.)

So in the noodle went and out............



Tata!

I cooked some mini saugages with the soup. I realised the trick is not to cook the noodles with the soup base! Normally we will cook the noodles and soup in one serving of water. (Maybe its jus me. *lazy* lol) But this time, i realised when cooking the noodles, the "Kee" came out and the soup become yellowish. I tot the soup would be bad with the "kee" in it, so i changed the water after cooking the noodles, and Voila!~

Turns out the noodles is springy, (jus like that type i like, but not so much on the "nua nua" side) and soup is slightly salty, heavy flavour of soysauce. The eggs was beaten and poured over the boiling soup to create something like sharkfins soup egg. :)

The end product is one delicious home made Japanese instant ramen. Oishi!!!

"Ambushed" at Jurong Point!

One of my fav european restuarant has branched out to JP!!!

I always remembered the cook clams in white wine sauce i had the other time and was repeated here!




October Platter for the coming Octorber Feastival@

Clams in white wime sauce! My fav!

Been in a clammy mood these days after eating the "heng hua" restaruant.
This one is soooo nice! I actually finish the whole bowl of soup! :P

Josh wasn't that keen to buy a paella then, but i tot its is quite interesting, hence we ordered. lol

Sleepy le... gota sleep....

Astons Express at 6th Ave

After a long day at Kitty's place, we settled at astons for dinner.
Was intending to grab the $59.90 Roast Beef for all one, but sadly... that one have to order one. T_T



Big bear always ready for me to "shoot" him. :)

Joshie's Beef Tenderlion cooked to medium rare. Can even see the bloody bloody meat from the side.

My Lamb Chop was supposed to be cooked to medium, but guess i had medium well that day. C

Mareen's Chicken and Sausages. Look like quite a good deal huh!

This was the place. :)

 Of course not to forget my elder sister! Must wait till she cooks again!

Ahhhh.... I am so lucky :)

Sunrise @ Changi

CC suggested this crazy idea to shoot a sunrise that day.
So the three of us crazily woke up at approx 5am to rush down to Changi to supposely find the best spot for the photoshoot.
Turns out we are not able to find the site, and missed the sunrise... So we end up with some pretty F**k up shots... (Or rather i think its more of my shots were lousy la. lol)


Nothing particular about this shot, jus tot that it is a rather peaceful picture. With better lighting, like sunrise for example..., the shot would look nicer.


Exploring the B&W setting and took this random shot. I find it pretty rustic but yet not subject. lol

Gosh... Josh almost fill up the whole picture!

The sun "risen" and some quick shot of a airplane landing.

CC looks smaller behind this walls...
