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.
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!

Another Year Another Set of Photos (7)
Friday, December 30, 2011 by Colin Woon , under Photography, Portrait
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).
