Sunny Sunday

Here are more portrait photos...

It is normally quite rare to have such sunny day during the weekend in UK, but we were quite lucky that day.

Photos were taken near Greenland Dock.

You should be able to notice the Canary Wharf skyscrapers in the background.

Do you know that London is freaking hot these few weeks? The temperature hit 32C this afternoon! It's really madness, especially those who take the tube. Just imagine an underground train with no air conditioning. However, if you fancy some free sauna session, just get yourself onto any tube during rush hour. You'll get what I mean :D

Anyway, I'll be heading off to the pearl of the atlantic (Madeira, Portugal) for a week. See you guys soon!

The Suicide Bridge

Bristol, famous for its suicide bridge, also known as the Clifton Suspension Bridge. If you google the history of this bridge, you'll come across the many suicide cases, hence this signboard advertising the samaritans care number.

About 10 years ago, barriers were installed on the bridge to prevent people from jumping.

As you can see, the cars below the bridge are just like toy cars.

If you would like to have a live tour of the bridge click here (google street view).

This is the park located next to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. For those with a keen eye, there's some interesting sights to behold.

This is the reason why we were in Bristol. Our friend, Dineli is going back to her home country and she is getting married soon too! Hence, we paid her a visit before she leaves the UK for good.

FYI, I have taken tonnes of photos just for this position itself. Girls.... I tell you.... haha

Dineli decided that she had enough and its my turn to be in the photo with Sharon.

Probably no one could resist not to have any portrait photos under such lovely weather.

We'll all miss you Dineli. Keep in touch yeah :)

Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park

It feels as though I just updated my blog like few days ago and when I check my previous post, it was like more than a week! Geez. Anyway, here are some photos of the Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park, London.

I been to the park for about 3 times and finally I got the right sunset lighting I wanted. The sun sets about 4pm ish at that time. Also, just so you know, it was freezing cold about subzero, I was with my leather gloves (if you still want your fingers functioning properly after the shoot) and armed with 3 layers of top and scarf.



I love the blueish sun set lighting. I find it very soothing.



Leafless tree is what you gonna see everywhere during winter.



Garlic house, just right under a tree. I think the lighting looks awesome.



This is another stall selling bratwurst (German Hotdog). These stalls just look cool.



A windmill with a snowman on the roof which I believe is from Holland. I think the couple were about to kiss. Sorry didn't mean to disturb :P



You definitely should expect to see a carousel in a fun fair! Anyway, more Hyde Park photos soon.

Need to get going now, as I am heading back to Malaysia this week. See you guys!

Megan's Christening 2

Here are more baby photos taken during Megan's christening at the Pontprennau Community Church in Cardiff.



I don't think you can see it from here but she has got very long eyelashes.



Come on... please be seated while you have your meal.



Unsatisfied with what he has...



So he tried on someone else's heels. Managed to walk quite a distance without falling.



Enjoying herself on the slide.



She actually came up to me and posed for the camera.



I think this is one of the best shot I have taken during the event. The daughter was showing her mother what she was doing while Megan looked on (behind).

Megan's Christening and Birthday

I was in Cardiff the capital of Wales about 2 weeks ago. I was invited to the christening of my friend's daughter. Been pretty busy lately, just got back from Oslo, Norway couple of days ago.

Anyway here are some photos of the event.



The two sisters, Megan and Beth. Beth is the elder sister.



She just turn one this month, trying to walk while holding tightly to her mom.



Then, she got pretty curious wondering what is this big black box that flashes light every now and then.



Trying to persuade her that this is a better toy than the other so I could get my hands on the them! Hehe! *Misspent childhood, what to do*



Megan couldn't find her mom so she decided to ring up her mom. However, ..."Can someone teach me how to use a phone, please?"



Starring straight into her grandmother's eyes, trying to tell her that she loves her grandmother. So lovely.



Megan is just so cute and adorable. Don't you agree?

England vs Barbarians

Last sunday (1st June) was the kick off between England team and the Barbarians at the Twickenham Stadium.

You might be wondering is there even a team called Barbarians? Well there is in rugby but not football.



The England team are obviously in white and the black & white straps are the Barbarians.



Don't you think they look bigger than footballers?

Absolute Vodka

I think it was early last year. After work, had my dinner, showered, and discovered that there isn't much to do. So I guess its time to play with my camera before either one of us rot. haha.



And the outcome was this.

Spanish Cuisine

This tapas buffet is different from the usual buffet. You have to order what you want and they'll make it for you instead of having an array of food stalls.

This is the menu.



We are allowed to order a maximum of 8 dishes each time.



So here we have Calamares a la Andaluza (deep-fried rings of squid served with roasted garlic mayonnaise and lemon - on the left front), Berenjenas Gratinadas (Fresh aubergine, topped with cheese and tomato - centre front), Pescado Bianco Frito (White fish, deep fried in beer batter- right front), Chorizo Frito al Vino (Spicy Spanish sausage, sauteed in red wine) and the further three were toasted bread topped with garlic & fresh tomato, some fried potatos and Spanish omelette.

I love the fried squid, fish in beer batter and the Spanish sausage.



The restaurant decor is quite nice too.



To all Spanish Cuisine lovers, you should give it a try if you haven't tried it yet.

Anyway, if you are in the same situation as me here is the temporary cure. Screammmm all you can like the photo below :)



Hope that helps ;)

It was to stop

Its late spring now which means its gonna be summer next month. We are getting more daylight and sun doesn't set until like 9 in the evening. It'll get later as we are getting nearer to June and the longest day of the year will be in that month itself.

So I was out late one night, waited for a bus outside Waterloo Underground Station so I can get to Canada Water Station.



After a long wait, a bus No.188 was coming towards my direction. The next moment...



It didn't stop at all. Just imagine from "waving for the bus to stop" to "waving goodbye".
