Can't believe how fast time goes by when we have 2 trouble makers at home. They are 10 months old now and they have brought plenty of joy to our home. It was an incredible year, incredibly busy, incredibly tired, most of all, incredibly happy.

Just 3 blog posts for the year, considering the circumstances, I think that's pretty incredible.

Happy New Year to all! I wish everybody has a wonderful year ahead of you.

They are more than 5 months old now. They definitely bring more joy than trouble to our home.

Yup, twins happened. Now you know why this blog has been neglected for months.

My amazing wife gave birth to our beautiful boy and girl twins a few months ago and we have been very busy taking care of them since. We are tired, we are sleep deprived, we are excited, we are blessed. They truly are our bundles of joy.

Finally, I can use the portraits photography skills I have learned through out the years on my own kids. It is extremely satisfying getting some great photographs of these 2 cuties.

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!

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

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!

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!

Remember those kiddos I took photos of last year? Well, I took another set of adorable photos of them again last month. They are definitely fun to photograph.

This is my final blog post for 2011. Hopefully I'm able to update my blog more frequently in 2012!

I figure I should update my much neglected blog with some of the photos taken this year before the new year roll around.

So here it is, some snap shots of Vancouver, as well as Whistler(home of 2010 Winter Olympic).
