I Heart Faces | Black

I can't live without music
And if anybody is asking me why
Music makes me feel like flyin', gives me hope when I'm a-cryin'
I believe without it I would die.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

1. Landscape

Bangkok Landscape. That tallest building on the right is where I lived.

2. Complementary or Triadic Color

All aboard the sushi boat.

3. Black and White

Old dogs, like old shoes, are comfortable. They might be a bit out of shape and a little worn around the edges, but they fit well.

4. Food

I like to make this shrimp wontons with thin egg noodles at home for a simple dinner.

5. Blank Space

That's the sunset in the background...from my bedroom window.

A light breeze was blowing...

It's getting so hot these days. Great time for a dip ...

Scenic B&W

Not your usual scenic spot... This "Market on the Railway" is located in Samut Songkhram, not far from Bangkok. The main market lies next to the tracks, but for those who could not afford the rent, they decided to lay their wares and produce just off the tracks. The train passes through several times a day; in between, shoppers walk along the tracks and take their time to choose and haggle as usual. Just minutes before each train arrival, the stall owners make well-rehearsed adjustments to get their goods out of harm's way and restore everything as soon as the choo-choo passes.

Return to Innocence

Only those who look with the eyes of children

Can lose themselves in the object of their wonder. ~ Eberhard Arnold

I have noticed...

I've noticed that being with you,
I smile more often,
I anger a little less quickly,
the sun shines a little brighter,
and life is so much sweeter.
For being with you takes me to a different place: a place called love.

The Weekend in Black and White

Forward, forward let us range, Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing grooves of change. ~ Alfred, Lord Tennyson

My Korean Auntie Look

안녕하세요

Ahn-young ha-seyo

Don't I look like an ajumma getting ready for sauna? Actually, I was the guinea pig of Janelle's attempt to re-create a scene in her favourite Korean sit-com... 안녕!

Fly Away

Reflections

From the window seat

On the road again...

We are leaving tomorrow for a week's vacation in Phuket where I was born. Mommy doesn't want to travel too far as I am still little. So after returning from Phuket, we head back to Singapore for two weeks to visit family and friends. Janelle is bubbling over with anticipation, as she misses her Singapore friends very much.

The Fabric of Life

Both my grandmothers worked as seamstresses. Mommy knows how to sew; it was a part of her training as a fashion designer. Although she has given up her career to raise her children, she still has a passion for art and design. Whenever I take a nap, she will multi-task and edit photos, do drawings, sew/mend clothes while keeping an eye on my cradle...

Negative Effect

Where did I learn to understand sculpture? In the woods by looking at the trees, along roads by observing the formation of clouds, in the studio by studying the model, everywhere except in the schools. ~ Auguste Rodin

"The Weekend in Black and White."

Cat or Mao

I like to get some fresh air every day, once in the morning with our part-time maid and once in the evening with Mommy and sometimes Daddy. I like to play with the cats, but everyone forbids me from touching them, or even getting too near to them. What's this scary thing called "Asthma" anyway, that they are so afraid I might catch from the cat? Paranoid adults! Only Mommy gets to touch and feed them with my leftover food. I don't call them cat but Mao (猫)...

Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions,
it is governed by our mental attitude.
~ Dale Carnegie

It is by chance that we met, by choice that we became friends.
~ Millie

Truly great friends are hard to find,
difficult to leave,
and impossible to forget.
~ G Randolf

Happiness consists not in having much,
but in being content with little.
~ Marguerite Gardiner

Simplicity

Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. ~ Lao Tzu

Laughter is the best medicine

The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache. ~ Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Hands

“To enjoy life, we must touch much of it lightly” ~ Francois Voltaire

 

You Capture

The Weekend in Black and White

Pouty Lip

I like to imitate my sister when she asks me to make funny faces at everyone else...

The Weekend in Black and White

Mommy woke up early this morning at 6.30am to prepare breakfast for the family. It's an easy and healthy meal to start the day. Thanks, Mommy!

“A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.” ~ Tenneva Jordan
