The 3.2 Shooter
It’s annoying to be caught in the rain while photographing outdoors. But as I review my shots taken after that terrible downpour on that faithful day, I can’t help but admire the glittery raindrops that roll off the petals of the orchids. The raindrops just make the flowers come alive, probably serving as a lifesaver […]
Merry Christmas, have a cupcake! I do wonder at times when will the cupcake craze fade away from Singapore. I’m sure we’re definitely on the plateau… More specifically, on the edge of impending decline. Nonetheless I’m grabbing my half-dozen worth of Christmas-themed cupcakes before they fade into oblivion. Pictured here is a chocolate mint cupcake […]
I recently revisited Windowsills Pies with my favorite food buddy HL and naturally ordered a slice each. I think these are white chocolate truffle pies, if memory serves me right. I like indoor cafes, you get shelter from bad weather and air-conditioning for the dastardly heat. We had lunch earlier at a semi-alfresco cafe earlier […]
Chunky cuts of french toast garnished with mixed berry compote fresh off the stove, sprinkled with some powdered sugar and mint leaves. If it wasn’t enough, it came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This brunch-dessert is one of the limited items of the brunch menu at Open Door Policy. Not sure how it […]
Tulipmania at Gardens by the Bay was a freaking disappointment. There wasn’t anything much about them that inspired me. I was more excited when I saw fields of tulips in the Netherlands many years back. In fact this brings me back to the point that Gardens by the Bay has been a consistent disappointment to […]
These flowers are known as blushing brides (serruria floribunda). The stems look rather thorny while the flowers remind me of dandelions. I do wonder if this plant is a desert native.
This photo depicts an orchid I had found on a bench in the National Orchid Garden. I went there thinking I was going to shoot some entries for an orchid photography competition. In the end I didn’t submit photos for the competition because I was pretty ill the entire week. Well, I was actually sick […]
You asked me to look at you. I looked at you, but you looked through me. What point is left between us?
I’m really really really sorry. Won’t you please forgive me?
They look like the last thing you’ll think of that’s an orchid.
The orchids totally reminded me of pasta.
I thought the gray background reminded me of x-ray… Nothing to do with the gray matter in my brain, or of the orchid. 😉
The orchid is a really complex-looking flower. The elongated lip of the flower is a prominent feature that differentiates it from other flowers.
The flower looks more like an art sculpture than a living being.
Anyone out there that knows what breed this flower belongs to? It’s quite common in Australia. I’ll be glad if you can enlighten me on it. Updated: 24th Jan 2009 I finally found out the name of the flower. It’s called African Blue Lily (Agapanthus).
 Tennis balls are so interesting. They’re bouncy, grassy and firm to the grip. OK… I’m being lame here. This photo was a favorite with my friend during my Cosplay observation assignment in June 2008.
