Uploaded several more shots on Project 365 - link is here.

Took a really nice shot with my new Sony H5. At least, I like to think it’s a nice shot - perhaps I had drunk abit too much by then? *lol*

Headed to Delhi at the end of next week - anyone with suggestions on good restaurants to have dinner at?

365 is the number of pictures I hope to take in a year that captures the tone and mood of each passing day.

Some days there might be no photos, other days more; but at the end of a year, the photos will serve as a reminder of times past and a map of how I view visual content.

I will load up my photos in a set located through my Flickr account here.

365 is also the number of days in a year, except when it’s a Leap Year. But that comes about every 4 years, so I figure that if this continues successfully for 4 years, it will be okay to take one more photo. OR I might just have to think of another project come next July.

Other current projects include “Sunlight Reflections” and “Walking around Singapore“. Links are also in the column to the right under “Pictures free your mind” category.

…a Sony H5. It’s a 1.5 year old model from Sony but seems to fit my expectations of a semi-DSLR. Will post up some shots soon, need to find a funky pouch to carry the H5 in.

Attended the Team Singapore Flag handing-over ceremony earlier this evening.

Penning their well-wishes

…with green grass, all of uniform length and spread out evenly across the little plot of ground I have. Naturally, not having a green thumb, things didn’t turn out the way I imagined it.

The weeds disagree with me though. Through absolutely none of my effort, the weeds are flourishing in the little plot of land, winding it’s way along the lattice-structured fencing. If I were judged on the different varieties of weeds growing in my garden, I would win an award.

I guess that’s something to be proud of. Anyway, once I save enough, I will probably tile up the little plot, invest in planters boxes and grow bamboo. Or sunflowers. That might be nice.

…and that’s not good. BUT it’s kinda tough when you stay late at work and the first reaction upon reaching home is to just crash out with a game. Or watch TV - Tuesday nights have got good programs - never thought I would admit that. Or just MSN and not log onto email. Cripes, you think it might be a slight bit not-so-good if you don’t even want to check your own personal emails when you get home.

Am sure that this does not apply to all those people who have the slacker-time to check email when they are at work. But it’s fine. Even though I have had to wean myself off MSN, and Skype and Twitter and FB and all those other (wonderful) connective technologies. I comfort myself with the idea and the impression that I am more productive at work and get more done…even though I am working 12 hour days.

I blame that part of the world that is 3 hours behind me. *lol*

Anyways - as I always do, my life for the past month…in pictures and captions.

This is Scamps. She’s my rabbit. Ain’t she cute? That’s her chair. She has laid claim to it and will give me the “beady” eye if I try to rush her for the chair.

We had a BBQ at my place about two weekends ago. Meat from The Butcher, tasted damn good. I want to try the Aussie set next!

Okay and we were definitely contented after the makan.

Right, and then on Mal & Kenneth’ wedding the week after at Shangri-la. Man, that is still a really nice ballroom even after all the many times I have been there for functions.

Congrats Mal and Kenneth! *grin* Wish you both lotsa joy and happiness!

The other wedding pictures are on Flickr so lemme know if you need to be added on.

Oh, and I watched several movies during the weeks. “Lord of the Rings - Return of the King” is a definite no-brainer. Watch that 20 times! “Kung-Fu Panda” was comedic but not a movie I would catch at the cinema; more of a in-flight entertainment movie. “Hancock” was not too bad. Will Smith was good as usual but the storyline was corny and anti-climatic. Wait for Chinese New Year repeats. “Get Smart” gets thumbs-up from me! I would watch it again to laugh through another weekend night. *lol*

Well, better late than letting it languish in the bottomless pit of my 2GB SD card, never to see the light until another Friday night that I am similarly free and not out drowning the week away with an Asahi at some pub of choice in town.

SO happy birthday again Riley and the photos from your party the other night are on my flickr. They are post on FB as well.

I have joined the LG Viewty contest and stand a chance to win the LG Viewty phone! Oh yes, and maybe the lucky chance of having National Geographic purchase the rights to one of the photos for USD10k! *grin*

Please vote for my photos at http://www.viewtyfulworld.com/uk/select.php saved under the username “inspirethereal’!

The photos are referenced here:

Both were taken during my trip to the Maldives earlier last year. The first one was taken while standing at a sandbar watching the waves cross over the narrow space until it eventually covered the sand bar. The second one is a view of the sunset, either from my villa or standing on the boat as we headed out to see the dolphins!

Not quite sure why really but after traveling for a few days and having nearly all expenses paid for to boot, it still feels good to come home.

Think it has something to do with having a home.

*grin*

Will post some pictures up in the near future.

Caught Iron Man yesterday at GV Plaza. Good movie but didn’t need the Marvel franchise to help sell it. It could have been called “Man of Steel”, “Seventh X”, “Crash, boom, bang” etc and it would still be an action movie. Thing is, there seems to be this trend that Marvel comic movie adaptations do not seem to follow the Marvel universe storyline at all. The movies twist the facts and change the characters. Seriously, Nick Fury a black man (only for those who stayed behind after the movie credits)? S.H.I.E.L.D forming the Avengers? *Sigh*

I would love to watch them do a Adam Warlock and the Infinity Gauntlet movie one day. Think it will have to be a cartoon though. Not enough budget to hire all the big names to fit the movie.

Dark Knight is out this June. That should be a movie to catch. So will the Steve Carell movie. He’s really becoming the funny man.

Uploaded my Singapore Flyer photos here.

Stayed at the Shangri-la in Jakarta for a biz trip - check it out if you are staying at the same hotel. Photos of the view are here. It wasn’t too bad a hotel and I was very impressed by their garden landscaping. Check it out.

Was in Bangkok for some biz and play over a weekend. Uploaded the photos here but check out some of these as well. Bangkok is becoming a harder place to bargain at. Although to be fair, April - July is their off peak period for shopping and prices are already as cheap as they can get…for tourists. Go try the food out at the “red chair” restaurant at Chinatown or the Tawadung Brewery out of the city centre. Both journeys will be about 30mins by taxi if you stay at the Silom or Pratunam areas.

We celebrated the March babies birthday at Foo’s House in March. Those who want the photos can ask me or go to my Flickr site and grab it from there.

Had dinner at the new Oasis restaurant located at Toa Payoh Park. This is the same Taiwanese porridge restaurant that was housed at the old Kallang hub. This is now making way for the new Singapore Sports Hub. Food menu is similar but the quality of the food has dropped. Prices are more expensive as well. 6 people, 8 dishes, $100. Photos are here.

Looking forward to a trip to KL this week (finally get to stay at Traders again) and BKK (Conrad this time) again the week after. Will post more photos when I am able to.

Btw, love the new WordPress Flash photo uploader and process. Quite well done! Keep it up WordPress team!
