Thanks to Robert, he helped me to piece the shots together to form a panoramic view of Sentosa.

Chinese Heritage Museum
My favourite display at the museum. Had a fun time trying to identify the variety of food.
Chinese Heritage Museum...did you know?
Interesting day at the Chinese Heritage Museum. I didn't know my family name originated from Pengcheng, which is present day Xuzhou city of Jiangsu Province. However, most of the teochew (which is my dialect group) descendants are from Guangdong province. They must have moved...
Bali Escapde 2010....sunsets
One of the sunset scenes at Canggu Beach, Bali. Although I did use picasa to touch up the picture, but nevertheless, the Canon S90 was superb to capture the 'basics' beauty for me to enhance with technology.
Dinner @ Pamplemousse
Lucky me, to know someone who has a friend who's a budding chef. Was treated to scrumptious dinner and this is the appetizer. Scallop carpaccio. Taken with my trusty Canon S90.
Thai fish cake in SF
Dinner in SF at a Thai restaurant. I couldn't resist taking the shot with Robert's Canon EOS 550D.
World's most crooked road
Yet again, another people shot. It's because Robert asked me to... Hope I did him justice! Or Lombard road for the same matter.
People
It's fun to snap away while your subjects are distracted or engrossed in something else other than yourself, the photographer. Portraits of people in the mirror shot is something I learnt from the pros like YF. Looks good, yeah?
Portraits
I'm not good with people... much less shots of people. I prefer shooting the non-living, like food or maybe even sceneries. But I thought this one turned out quite well:)
I love eggs benedict.
Doesn't this just make you drool?:) Credits to me for the delicious shot but with compliments from Robert's Canon EOS 550D.

Budding photographer
At the last GMS in SF, I helped myself to my colleague's Canon EOS 550D. Here are some of the shots I took. Needless to say, most of it related to food, would be my handy work:)
Bali Dreams
It was a good trip. A much anticipated one, albeit it started off badly for me. Left my passport in the office, bringing the wrong type of rupiah currency and having so much work left unfinished... but I guess if you have to go, you have to go.
What I liked most about the trip was probably the villa. It was a great idea to rent one for the 4 days we were there since we had a group of 7 people. The location of the villa was a tad 'far out' as it was about a 25-30mins drive to the more happening places like Kuta, Seminyak areas where pubs, shopping and crowds were a plenty. But the enjoyment was that the whole place was for ourselves and that we could eat, drink, swim and chill in the same place, any time, any way we want it, was really cool.
Oh, and not to forget the chauffeur who was available to bring us into the 'city'.
The outdoors activities were also not too bad, although I had serious 'butt' issues after the cycling exercise. Guess my ass needs extra padding the next time I ever try to do it again.
I definitely hope we get to do this again.... together.

What's your life mission statement?
Do you have one? Or more importantly, do you need one? According to Covey, you can and you should.
And so, here goes my first draft.
Always be proactive and take initiatives.
Like David, to be a fearless leader.
Like Fiona, to have tenacity.
Always show persistent determination.
Always be compassionate.
Always be trustworthy.
Always be genuine.
Collaborate, don't compete.
Create success through leadership.
Be real, Be brave.
Have great qualities to share.
Am I inspired? Hmmm.... I'd need to ponder on it some more.
