Sunny Sunday

>> Sunday, 28 June 2009

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.

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

>> Saturday, 6 June 2009

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.



Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol

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).

Clifton Park in Bristol

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

Dineli & Sharon in Clifton Park, Bristol

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

Chee Wei & Sharon in Clifton Park, Bristol

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 :)

>> Monday, 21 July 2008

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

Christening in Pontprennau Communitity Church

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

>> Thursday, 17 July 2008

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.

Beth and Megan

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

Megan

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.

Megan and Chee Wei

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

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?"

Megan

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

Megan

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

The Capital of Santorini - Fira

>> Friday, 20 June 2008

After checking into our villa we decided to explore this awesome island. There is a bus stop about 5 mins from our villa, but the buses come like every 30mins or maybe more and they operate till 9pm only. That would be very inconvenient if you are planning to come back later. So...we decided to rent a quadbike.

We then drove all the way from Perivolos to Fira. It took us about half an hour at first but it gets faster when you get used to the bike.

Me on a quadbike

Along the way to Fira, we stop at a nice place and safe place to take some photos with this machine. Who wouldn't do that?

Don't be fooled by its look. It is powered by only a 50cc engine. Fifty!! I really wish this thing could go faster! However, the roads are mostly curvy and some goes through hilly places so I wouldn't recommend anyone speeding with this thing.

The good thing about this is you are able to park anywhere in the town as long as you are not obstructing traffic.

Cable car

So here we are in Fira, the capital of Santorini. There is a port in Fira which is known as the Old Port (notice the boat far down the cliff?). There are two ways to get to the port, either by cable car or by foot.

Cable car to the port

If you decide to take the walkway down you have to beware of the donkey poos :P Yes another alternative would be riding a donkey down which will cost you about 4-5euros. On the other hand, the cable car will cost you 4 euros. The cost is about the same so its really up to you. Just try not to think about donkey, going crazy, and the cliff. hehe.

Fira town

This is a church at the top of Fira. That is actually the real colour of the sky.

Clock Tower

If you notice the stairway going downwards? Yes lots of walking needed!

Surprisingly, towards the evening you are able to see the moon. Notice the white crescent in between the tower and the dome? That is the moon.

Church and a clock tower

This is the interior of the church. I had to crank up the ISO as its pretty dark in there.

The Greece flag consists of white and blue so are the houses in Santorini.

The colours are simply amazing! You have to see it for yourself to believe it :)

Vase

Some hotel in Fira. I just like how they match the colours and the way they paint their stairs.
