Union of a Kiwi and Singaporean: My Family
Well well well,
A game of Zombie fragging while waiting for the ladies to finish up Bee's makeup
After about 2 months of arranging, rearranging, changing of dates, Liam, Phoebe and family has finally come to a finalised date to have their Singaporean ROM ceremony down here.
Their main (and major) wedding will be held in New Zealand somewhere in September but down here they will be Husband and Wife in Singapore law. The one held in Singapore will be a simple and casual yet solemn ceremony, inviting only close friends and family to witness this wonderful moment.

Liam going through the tea ceremony with Bee explaining the process at the same time...bet Liam's multitasking during that time LOL
After all these, the entire group have a lunch at the same venue where we chit-chat away, making fun of the couple and of course, good chance for Liam to know Bee's friends better.
All in all, the ceremony was simple, and everything went smoothly without a hitch. "All good in the hood", I quoted my new Brother In Law ;)
Congratulations, Liam and Bee!
My First Attempt at Exposure Blending
Recently I managed to capture a very very nice sunset shot which I love very much. Armed with my Tokina 11-16mm wide angle lens, I noticed that having just the sunset skyline as the photo isn't going to make a statement. So took bracketing shots at different exposures and decided to try out exposure blending to bring out the foreground as well as the background. Some of the results isn't quite what I have expected but it gave a very different feel to the photo.
Using photoshop to do exposure blending is tedious, but fun nevertheless. Guess will try more of these in future.
Meantime, enjoy my first attempts. Not outstanding but still viewable, heh.

Nokia Rangers Gathering Oct 2010
Ok,
Just received the event photos from the organisers, so here's some photos of the event:
The venue and the Event
Hanseah, Dimitri_can & me
The presentation starts
Marketing manager explained how we were selected and what we should do as Rangers
Everyone listens to what was presented, and that's where I was told each of us will be given a N8
Product Manager comes in to introduce the N8. Market manager made a comment that the Rangers had probably known more about the product than him LOL
Product manager showing the N8 UI on the big screen thru HDMI
Queries with the Marketing Manager
Unboxing the received N8
The happy Rangers showing off their new toy
Checking out the phone
Conversations with the Product Manager
Sharing with fellow rangers

New Zealand Trip 2009/2010 Part 5
.
Salmon sashimi lunch bought from Salmon shop in Mackenzie district. Like I said earlier, awesome beyond words
Finally saw my fav muscle car in the flesh @ town of Twizel: the Ford Mustang. Simply classic.
YHA at Mount Cook
Hooker's Valley @ Mount Cook. It's a pretty long walk with strong wind blowing at ~100km/h. We turned back halfway due to uneven path and worry about parents' safety. (Well, got my trail walk kick at Kea Point later on :p)
What does this rock look like? (No prize for guessing right :p)
Alpine Monument, where some tablet bearing the names of climbers who had attempted to scale Mount Cook and perished. They have my respect. Trying to take steady shots of this site while 100km/h-wind trying to blow me off my balance is nothing compared to the feats these climbers had performed.
Closest view of Mount Cook a tourist can get. You have to take a 1-hour walk from YHA hostel to Kea Point and another hour back to hostel. Suffered a sore knee for a week when returned to Singapore.
Just love the traveler quotes in YHA
The locals who camps out uses this as toilet paper. Only available in higher grounds of NZ and trust me, it's soft like a tissue paper.
My sis just revealed how chilly Mount Cook area is (and it's Summer). The area is known for its unpredictable weather (can be sunny in one moment and rainy the next)
A Kea residing at the visitor centre. It's not shy at people at all.
Church of the Good Shepherd at Lake Tekapo (One beautiful lake with greenish blue water)
Lake Tekapo view from inside the church
On our way back to Christchurch. Rumba likes to stick his head out of the car to enjoy the breeze.
Back to Kaikoara again, this time to try fantastic seafood feast from this stall. No, tourists don't come this far here, so we feel privileged to taste real authentic NZ seafood feast, thanks to Liam & Bee :D
So that's all folk, 2 weeks plus of awesome drive round the South Island, seeing much more than I ever did 6 years back. For more photos, you can always view them at my Flickr site by clicking this link:
