Life in SG - Someone in Love

Thoughts floating in my mind... Feelings of another kind... Inexplicable to me Are the visions that I see. The impossibility of such, This dwelling on you so much Has caused me to be free, and yet So captured by my reverie. This dream, uncalled for, yet so real That sets my heart up for the steal, And promises of nothing, or A chance to see you just once more.

Daydream

Model: Cheryl

She is searching for something... ... someone special.
Will she find him first or... ...

Model: Bernice

She is waiting... ... waiting for that someone special.

Will he ever come ... ...

Storm approaching suddenly,
Run to the window, look and see.

Alluring glance from me to you,
Without a word…you think it too.

Clothes in a trail across the floor,
from window pane, to outside door.

Secluded place, a grassy field…
In open view, (yet still concealed)

A blanket lay upon the ground,
Where you and I
And Rain
Fall
Down

Warm wet descends from summer skies,
As birds and bees, cover their eyes.

Alas, the rain comes to an end,
Return inside…
to wait again.

Waiting for Rain

Model: Lynnette

Whose dream will come true...
the one who keep dreaming;
the one who keep searching or
the one who keep waiting...

Life in Brunei - Friend + Golden sunset

On 26 May evening, my dad, Tom and myself went to a deserted area of Seria beach. I quickly setup my gear and started playing with light. It was fun and challenging as you can see from the photos, background light was changing from time to time. Lucky, I got myself a good model, Tom and excellent assistant, my dad; eventhough they were 1st timer... hahaha... most importantly, we all had fun.










'Ok, last shot for the day, lets pack up' '... waiiiit... '



Thats VAX-the-Man behind the camera... hahaha

Life in Brunei - Friend's gathering

Friendship

Make new friends

But keep the old

One is sliver and the other gold !

It has been a long time whent I last met this group of friends, though there were a lot more friends that I missed to meet up during this trip, as most of them have their own families and works to take care :)

We had a small gathering at SH coffee shop, chit chat-gossip-lot of things to catch up, hahahah. At around 6.15pm we set off to OGDC to see if we can catch sunset at the beach. Yeah, we got a beautiful sunset.

Life in Brunei - Relax + some excitement

Brunei is a country located on the north coast of the island of Borneo, in Southeast Asia. The total population of Brunei Darussalam is about 400,000 of which around 130,000(satistic taken from wikipedia) live in the capital Bandar Seri Begawan. Other major towns are the port town of Muara, the oil producing town of Seria and its neighboring town, Kuala Belait.

I was staying in Seria, during my 2 weeks stay. Seria is the heart of the oil industry in Brunei, and also the site of the first commercial onshore oilfield discovered in Brunei. The town sits atop the Seria Field, which was discovered in 1929. There are numerous 'nodding donkeys' in and around the town and this has become the unofficial symbol of the town.



Zheng, a friend came with me from Singapore for a 2 days stays. Taken on the day we arrived.

On 14 May afternoon, we went for a walk at Sungai Liang Forest Reserve. Following easy nature trek in the forest reserve to see the various plants of the tropical rain forest. During the trek, we saw the sky was getting darker and we decided to end the forest adventure earlier as not to be caught in the rain.

On the way back to Seria, I suggested to visit Lumut Beach. What a Surprise!!! We saw 2 water tornado while we reached the beach. The 'tornado' only appeared for less than 10 minutes. I was able to grab a few shots of the rare scene...

Elson + Pei Sing + Eden

Did Elson and Pei Sing's wedding shoot last year and now they got an addition 1 month old member in their family - Eden. Baby grow up fast during this period, therefore I decided to do this shoot before my 2 weeks trip to Brunei. By the time, while we look back at these photos Eden will look different already.



Where's my milk!





That's what Elson wore before!



Not so comfortable though!
