2012 is a good year for me. Good year at home and at work. Good year in terms of photography as well. There was plenty of opportunity to make families and kids portraits which have taught me a bunch about portrait lighting. Of course I'm still far from the level of photography I want to achieve but as long as I'm improving, I'm happy.
2013 will be here soon, hopefully it's going to be a good year for everybody!

It was the right place, the right time, with some good guidance, a beautiful scene such as this one was captured. Thanks to a good friend and mentor,

I was in Singapore roughly a month ago, a short trip, way too short.

Car,
Houston
There were plenty of cars on display at the 2012 Houston Auto Show. Cars from 37 manufacturers, states the program guide. Some beautiful, some ugly, some exciting, some boring, some affordable, and some insanely unaffordable.
Ferrari F2004. Michael Schumacher's 2004 Championship winning F1 car.
If only I can sit in the cockpit and rev the engine a little, just a little.
The body just scream speed.
Lexus LFA - MSRP start at US$375,000. Yup, keep dreaming.
Took 10 years to design & develop, it has a V10 engine and a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer body. Definitely a state of the art machine.
Lamborghini Aventador - A V-12 700hp beast.
Looks like a spaceship.
Looks fast too, doesn't it? And it is, 0-60mph in 2.9sec.
The tail of a Gallardo LP 570-4 Spyder Performante.
Scion FR-S a.k.a. Toyota FT-86 in Asia.
A 200hp rear wheel drive "fun" car.
On sale in 2013 with an estimated MSRP at around US$25,000, a steal!

Dessert,
Food
Chinese New Year is almost here.
Being away from our family, one way to create Chinese New Year atmosphere here beside gathering with friends is to bake some Chinese New Year delicacy, pineapple tart (or roll) that is. It is one of the many wonderful Chinese New Year food in Malaysia.
Required main ingredient, plenty of them.
A wonderful wife is also required.
Enlist some girls power.
Plenty of girls power are needed.
Many hours in the making. The results are simply delicious.
Though we don't have many pieces to go around, hanging out with a bunch of good friends on a Saturday afternoon are definitely worth it.
Happy Chinese New Year to all!
