Ad Photographers Show Why They Are Good 2007-11-17 18:53:14 Whenever I’m at weddings or gatherings, I try to bring my beloved S5 IS along to capture the beautiful and awkward moments. There times I wished to have a better camera that is able to capture that right moment, as in no blurry objects, no red-eye effects, clearer macro objects and many more.
Taking a look at those advertising posters, I feel envious because they are able to capture that moment that may not come again. They even managed to capture the right mood for the poster that meant something.
Animal photography is of another matter. It’s never easy but when I see blogs that contain animal photos with a certain pose, I feel so inadequate. Now, with the advice of those in Still Print, I won’t have to worry about taking another not perfect photo for that moment I want to capture in time.
Looking at those various photos that show you the numerous shots they have taken and attempting to read the meaning behind the photos, one can’t help but wonder, do I have wh Read more:Photographers
Adventures from Travel Stories Blog 2007-11-17 18:30:17 I love to travel. However, choosing a destination can be a headache because of the worries about an unknown place. In addition, you have think about the type of package you would be looking at, hotels to stay in, social security of the place, itinerary, number of days to stay in order to make full use of the visit and type of clothes to wear.
With just the package type, you have 2 choices, free and easy or take the planned package from the travel agency. For some countries, taking the free and easy package is not a major issue as you can explore the country with ease.
For others, you would read up stories about the destination of your choice before making the decision of going or not. It’s not too difficult to get people’s stories about their trips. Here, Travel
Story Blog collects anecdotes from travelers. You can read about Las Vegas, the famous casino strip, New York and much more.
With real people’s experience and their adventures while holidaying, you just have t Read more:Adventures

Wet Church ROM 2007-11-17 03:42:46 While this wasn’t the 1st time I’ve attended a church wedding, this was the 1st time I’ve managed to view it from the start to the end. I was very late the other time. I got off at the wrong stop. That’s another story to tell. I doubt I’ll talk about it much. There were singing and the speech from the Father about marriage being life-long commitment. Yes, marriage is a life-long commitment. You don’t just say “I do” and expect miracles.
Both have to work together and sort things out. I saw a lot of young teens attending the event and they were lost about what went on. I don’t know the bride personally but she is their teacher and when they came, she kept waving to them. Shows how much care she has for them and their love for her too. There was the bouquet being throw at the end, even the guys got the chance to catch it. DD was too tired to catch it. All the guys never slept the previous night and had to reach the groom’s place Read more:Church
I Don’t Want to Talk to You. Just Shut Up. 2007-11-22 18:51:37 It was the usual routine getting into the train and nap during my 45 minutes ride. When the train pulled away from Sembawang, I overhead this argument (aye, our never ending woes trying to board the train and squeezing into the crowded train).
Brown shoes (BS): Can you move in? (stern tone)
Black bag (BB): Why should I move in?
BS: There’s space over there!
BB: You don’t push, ok?
BS: Then you move in!
BB: Why should I move in? (and a whole lot things that I can’t recall).
BS: I don’t want to talk to you.
BB: You think I want to talk to you? You are so rude, ok.
BS: Ok, ok, I don’t want to talk to you. Just shut up.
BB: So rude.
All this while, I was thinking, can the two of you just shut up? Just look at the size of BB and the space that is available. BB can’t fit into that small space. BS, you got parallax error. After that, BS tried to read Today but failed to enjoy it. I think BS was the one needing more space due to his favourite way to pass the
I Call Stomp Then You Know 2007-11-22 09:26:03 I’m overdoing it. I bought a new dress, French manicure, pedicure and changed my hairstyle. And it’s not my wedding. Or I seriously lack such pampering and doing all of them in one go. My pockets are screaming “NO! STOP!”
And this boy tried to destroy my pedicure while attempting to snatch that seat in the crowded MRT. For God’s sake, YOU DON’T STEP ON MY NEW PEDICURE! I would be asking for compensation. And I don’t care how ugly I looked at that moment. Even better, I call Stomp. Unfortunately or fortunately, he didn’t destroy my pedicure, merely missed it by millimetres. And Miss Loi, where you got your nail art done? Mine was at Nail @ The Lacquer Room (VivoCity, level 2). Quite nice.
I have to stop myself from buying new shoes. I will be going for lelong at this rate if the shoe buying spree is not curbed. Note to self: It’s not my wedding.
One advice for the mother, can at least control your kid or not? How can he squeeze all o
More Surcharge for Taxis, Great, Ain’t It? 2007-11-19 02:53:50 Thanks for the raise. The surcharge for taxis based on locations that MP Seng Tan Thong is proposing now. He’s proposing that the surcharges be deployed to locations such as Raffles Place, shopping malls, pubs, etc. Wow. MP Seng is very thoughtful.
Thanks hor. Now I know that I have to pay for midnight charges, morning peak hour charges, weekend peak hour charges, booking charges, CBD charges, and other various charges of different names that I can’t possibly remember.
So, all these charges are supposed to do something? Like make those taxis appear out of thin air? Wow. The surcharges and other what-nots sure can do magic, ya? Did I mention that I spent $18 in the morning during peak hours just to get to work? Oh, I did.
Why not get rid of the charges and save us some headache instead. Just charge us for a boarding fare of $5 and the route charges. That’ll save a lot of calculating what time to take a taxi and where too.
Let’s make the formula less complicated, Read more:Great
Wedding Outfit Woes 2007-11-18 20:38:07 I spent 2 hours at the hair salon for my scalp treatment. Actually, I was late by 20 minutes. I think I caught the “late” bug from someone. Anyway, since I had to get a nice outfit for the coming wedding, 24th Nov isn’t too far away, I went down to Vivocity as it seemed to have more variety of clothes.
Aye, there was a wide variety alright. I tried a bustier that costs $249. I looked average in it. For a wedding dinner, I doubt it was really worth it to wear it. Although I could still wear it to another dinner next month, I felt that it was simply too expensive. I have to look for another outfit before the wedding.
I still have to make sure the shoes will go with the outfit and I don’t think I have any nice pair to go with. I haven’t found a wedding-ish bag either. I wonder why am I shopping for such things until the very week the dinner is to be held.
I wonder if I’d be able to get anything that is worthy of being the receptionist dress at the dinne Read more:Outfit
The More We Get Together 2007-11-28 21:31:19 You never know what you’ll get in life. Even when you have planned for it. Life can be so fragile. One minute, you are there and the next, you might not be there. While I was really excited to be one of sisters for my friend’s wedding, the whole event was tiring as we had to wake up early. It was after the event was over then I started to feel a sense of lost.
It was a lost of youth and time. It felt like yesterday when we were in school teasing each other and skipping classes. Just the Chinese lessons. We would often complain about how she would tell us proudly that some elite school would do so much better. We were in a neighbourhood school, what else did she expect?
Growing and moving on in our lives have impact, both major and minor. We start dating or flying to countries for business or start our own business. We meet up in a group during a major event such as funeral or wedding or babies one month celebration. Other than that, it’s via pitiable emails and they a
Wedding Dinner - 24 Nov 2007-11-26 03:15:59 By evening, I was starting to wind down. I stole a 30-minute nap at home which helped me to last till 1am. That was how late it was. I had to keep my hair styling appointment. The 8 course dinner was served quite timely. However, by the 5th dish, everyone was full and the food started to get wasted. The photo montage showed the bride’s and groom’s lives, a few photos of me were also included. Good friend with the bride, so I was rather honoured to be included too.
I was to be the receptionist with HF and we were, unfortunately, late to take up our places. Touching up sure took up a lot of time. The guests had arrived and we started taking down their attendance. I was starting to get tired. By 8.25pm, we left the reception table as 98% of the guests have arrived.
We took our seats at the designated table and the dinner commenced. The bride and groom started their walk in after the photo montage. Dinner
was served. Throughout the courses, I was thinking if the whole event cou
Before Entering the Bride’s Room 2007-11-25 20:02:02 The girls reached the bride’s place by 7.15am. HY, WL and me were the earliest. I did give an early morning call. We were there by 6.35am. The rest of the sisters told me, “Thanks but no thanks, you don’t have to give me morning call.” My heart broke into tiny little pieces.
When the rest of the sisters arrived, we started our strategy for getting more ang baos from the brothers. We closed wooden door after the grille gate was double-locked. Purpose was to get one ang bao before opening the wooden door.
The guys tried to haggle for the door to open saying it was easier. There was no way they could get it opened so easily. There was an ang bao alright. $10. How miserly, right? We managed to get more when we complained loudly that he didn’t want to get his bride.
Thus, the torture started. We had sour, sweet, bitter and spicy for them. The lime lemons were supposed to be sour but they ended up sweet. What a waste. Next was the sweet, some honey and sugar cub Read more:Bride
Providing Better Care 2007-12-05 19:14:18 As we grow older, we get more aches here and there. In addition, illnesses such as stroke, heart attacks or Alzheimer’s Disease strike, rendering us helpless. At this time, we need help. Many years ago, my paternal grandfather was down with Stage IV stomach cancer. He was brought home to be cared for by the family members who would take turns to take care of his basic needs such as bathing, eating and other business.
While a nursing home could have been better in providing the needs, but as an old and dying man, he preferred to be at home. It is often a great help if you can look at the options provided and Bettercaring is able to answer questions that we want answered such as the steps needed for caring a person at your own home as it’s your first time and financial portions that is often the major factor in caring.
You can even take part in the community in Bettercaring forum asking for advice from those who could be facing the same issues as you do or help others. When i
You Should Own a Dyson Vacuum Cleaner 2007-12-03 19:50:57 Cleaning a house takes time. You have to sweep, vacuum and mop the floors. Carpets have to be vacuumed, washed and hung in the sun to dry. How do you choose a good vacuum cleaner? What sort of vacuum cleaner are you looking at? With so many vacuum cleaners to choose from, how would determine which is the right one for you?
There’s the upright, cylinders and handhelds. To think I always thought that vacuum cleaners are just one type. They have strong suction power and store in the container or bag that will be cleaned later. Stuck at which type to choose? You can ask for help by selecting the category that you wished the vacuum cleaner to achieve and the selector will display the range that is suitable for you.
Before you purchase a Dyson
vacuum, you’ll need to see what accessories and parts you need. Select the vacuum type and model and you’ll be shown the various accessories for it. Ordering is easy, just click on “Buy” button and you’ll be shown yo Read more:Vacuum
Kids Have No Manners These Days! 2007-12-01 07:02:32 It must be my bad day. Or just my luck to bump into 2 idiots. No, wait. I can’t label them. I just had bad encounters, that’s all. Now, why did I encounter them? First, I was at NTUC with my mum and we were buying the food stuffs. While waiting, I got stuck in the tiny aisle and decided to look for my mum who said she was going to get a basket. I was looking after the trolley so, I wanted to push it.
However, there was this young boy who was in the middle of it and I said, “Excuse me,” politely, mind you. He stood to the side and shook his head at me as if I was the idiot who didn’t know how to phase through him. “Tsk tsk tsk” was all he said. Look, boy, I am not David Copperfield. I can’t do magic. Neither am I Criss Angel. So, you don’t “tsk” at me. Maybe I should have scolded him, “You were the ONE WHO BLOCKED THE PATH! HOW DARE YOU THINK I’M WRONG! 没家教!” Kids, these days, have no manners.
