Pink

Pink, Pinku, Priyanka, Dumpling, Granny ... so many names for a singularly special young lady. I look forward to seeing you grow from strength to strength!

The Earl of Bukit Timah

I still remember that road trip when we had C driving her beat up car - we were heading to The Retreat, on that beach. Our man was waiting for us thanks to R's fax - a house, a beach and old friends and Earl.

Meeting Earl was v interesting, seeing as how I was the outsider and the rest all old buddies from the bad old days. The 1995 or 1996 road trip and now it is 15 years down the road and Earl is still Earl. But definitely memorable moments along the way - in many ways the closest of moments!

Now when dear wife came into my life, Earl gave the best advice and to this day has a special place in dear wife's heart. And mine of course - because on that memorable road trip, as we sat on the beach with the sand and water shifting through time, I still remember what you said.

Special Day

A special moment - one of those watershed moments - when you know your life changed for the better, and you are surrounded by friends.

Wedding pictures

i just downloaded all our wedding pictures finally from the different locations all over.  I am very sure there are hundreds of other shots that just did not get collected from different people who took photos during the wedding.  I'm sure one day they will send them over *nudge* *nudge*


We are thinking of putting together a few compilations and printing photobooks!  Any ideas anyone?

Christmas

I really think cats are smarter than humans. When they are at play, they are so amusing, and they are absolutely adorable when they want to be.

Christmas is a very beautiful cat and keeps Mr. Sparks happy.

Percy

Percy the Mercy. When i was in Indonesia, some people called a Mercedes Benz a Mercy and the C200 was called a baby Mercy. That has stuck with me over the years. So when i was given the chance to own this lovely car, i jumped at it. Thanks to my bro, i got to take care of Percy for 2 glorious years.As things happen, and usually these things happen in unexpected ways, i will have to part with Percy. It had always been my dream to rebuild this car to make it the best Mercy SLC in Singapore. It helps that dear wife is equally in love with him(she named him after all) and it was one of those things we did together on weekends, to workshops, trolling through the internet for parts and all the fun stuff associated with the upkeep of a classic car.Little did we expect that all our plans to restore, run and eventually hand this car to our kids would be thwarted by an email.

HDB contest

Here are my possible submissions for the next HDB contest or life in singapore contest or something like that. Each of these shots had a different set of difficulties that i had to deal with. I learnt a lot about exposure, shutter speed and even something as simple as breathing and taking a steady shot.

Check out the cool sculpture - can you guess who did that?

My next idea is to get a proper set-up for crazed female driver or dangerous driving ... featuring some friends.
