Today was actually the first time I managed to bring my camera along for lunch and it was well worth it. Of course, the decision was met with lots of raised eyebrows from my colleagues, but I reassured them that I was in no way affiliated to any terrorist organisation, nor had I any intention of doing recce for them — this was instead made in the name of love for photography, even more than how these extremists claim love for their religion.

Like this chrysanthemum, there were lots of fantastic opportunites that laid scattered all over the airport and just dying for the shot of love from your camera. This flower was found hidden behind a gallery, so it was not really that obvious to the passing eyes unless they were photographic.

What I liked about this photo, was the fact that a simple spotlight aimed from the bottom of the chrysanthemum could create such a fiery, magnificent faux-burning effect that I would never have thought I could achieve just by mere observing. That moment was magic hard to notice initially, but only made obvious once you compose through the viewfinder and hit the shutter release.

Seriously, it felt good to have captured a simple object that was actually a wonder by itself.

Oh, it was called love!

:)

(Always the fourth one missing. Guess who!)

And guess who turned a year older?

THE GIRL WHO TOTALLY HATES CATS!

I requested an AM shift for this day, only because she is part of the FEOPLE. So this meant that, it was just as important as my own birthday. But sadly, Yin San could not make it — cannot wrong her though, not everyone was free even if others wanted her to be there.

It was nice to have celebrated Joon’s birthday at Marina Barrage since not many went there before and it was night time, so the scenery there was indeed spectacular. But not without problems though..

(Joon, your Korean boyfriend. Take it! Haa.)

Evon and I really had problems lighting up the candles, initially because we had no lighter and the crazy winds made it near impossible later on. And the drizzle, Evon had to shelter the both of us, and the cake and also had to shield the wind. Hahaha. We persevered though, and that perseverance and never-say-die attitude overheated the borrowed lighter and rendered that poor thing unusable after that.

Of course, I had some answering to do later on to the owner! :(

(Said Joon: “Which of these three are the biggest? The bundle, the bag or my head?” LOL. YOUR HEAD!)

I saw a huge kite which Justin bought but they never played with! And Qi Rui was there, and Jacky and the fashion boy Zeng Siong too! Wan Ting, Evon and the birthday girl were looking so gorgeous that night, I thought they were their best yesterday! Ah, but I was from work and I had to be there in my work attire though fortunately I bore no Watsons logo on the shirt. Haa.

We got for Joon a Korean book, and the enthusiasm caught her as she profusely tried to thank us in Korean and some other new phrases found in the book. The way that gift was wrapped was classic though, thanks to Jacky. If you have no idea which one, it was actually the bundle of newspapers. LOL!

We went back soon after to catch the last shuttle but I really had to return that damaged lighter to its owner. Thankfully, she was not that abusive (Haaaa..) and declined my money for that lighter. Ahh, nice people!

And the best FEOPLE!

SAENGIL CHUKHA HAMNIDA JOON!

You are so old now wakakakaka!
