Brought the boys out for a photography trip at chinatown today. The idea is to get nice shots to participate in a photography competition. So we worked out a black & white collection, and thanks to James parents, had beautiful prints in 8R as well.

Some of the pictures today,

This photo looks real good in print.

The old guy did his part real well.

My turn to act poser


I like the wandering feeling

Chinatown MRT Station

My boys, future young talents


Well, which reminds me of own black and white collection which I took at home a couple of days ago. Couldn’t resist.. Had to pose for my camera.. after 2000 shots.. So eh.. don’t flame me at being a vainpot alright ? But just noticed.. tough to take photos by timer against a blank background.. thats why the focus wasn’t there.. Really need to practice..

Alright. I know I only can pose in that particular angle.

Which also brings me to a day out with Lydia in Orchard.. she went to the dentist.. to catch a couple of photographs..

Guess where this is ?

Had a rather peaceful weekend .. only headache was my assignment.. and the new chores I have to do which include disposing dog dung.

I couldn’t resist adding this to my blog. Really for all guys that go thru NS and like Final Fantasy Series Games.

Take a look at this nice piece of work

SAF FANTASY

Thanks to Lancer Tan and Chen Jiang Ming for the introduction.
Kudos to LCP NCH for his magnificent work.

Today is the last day in school. Guess its also the last day I’m gonna see the kids. The kids are really active and sweet. Wish them all the best. The sec 4s as wells.. hope that they do well in their Os.

Anyway.. had our closure dinner yesterday.

My clique at work. No sean, no jiangming.

Had been some time since I stepped into Jurong Point with Lydia, spend saturday noon having a small walk there, the biggest neighbourhood shopping center. Was pretty fun cause we spend time taking photographs in Toys’R'Us and Kiddy Palace.

Oyako Rice Burger. I’m a fan of rice burgers. MOS Rice Burgers. Not Mac.

Mouth Oily !

I don’t wanna grow up.. I’m a Toys ‘R’ Us kid !

This pair is cute. Cyber piggy and Hip Hop Doggie


This is a song.. LA LA LA LA Elmo Song !

You can hug me all you want.. But the cookie’s mine !

Long Lost Brothers.. Spongebob Squarepants & OddRon Triangleshorts

Barney just wants a piece of Lydia.

If only cars were so cheap in real life.


Don’t squeeze him too hard.. Dumbo looks suffocated!

Lydia made me pose for this.

The haze is killing me. Just walking along the corridor is enough to kill me… Felt suffocated and had migraine. PSI was at 130 yesterday. Horrible ! Can somebody do something about it ?! Anyway, weekend was rather fruitful, played around with a couple of eggs in 3D max. Soon, all the rest of my classmates were displaying their eggs on msn. But moreofless.. I pretty like my egg too ! Anyway, I’m also glad that my RT was postponed.. at least that leaves me with more time for work and school…I really still can’t imagine running every week.. will probably kill me ! I’m still looking for alternatives on downgrading.

Now how do you crack em ?

Just like every post, this is the round up for the weekend…

Friday 13th Oct 2006, 11pm (Shucks.. It was Friday the 13th ! I didn’t even know!)
Location : Liang Seah Street and Bugis Area
Guest : Mr Huang Weizhong & Ms Esta Ho

Despite the fact that I had a project deadline to submit this monday, I decided to go and enjoy a night with Lydia, her younger sister and boyfriend. So we proceeded down to Liang Seah Street famous for after midnight Steamboat !

Our Special Guests

So we decided to stop by Chong Qing Zheng Zong Shan Cheng Huo Guo ( Please don’t test my Hanyu pinyin) which is priced at $12 per head. Well.. not my number 1 choice, but what to do.. Lydia’s wearing the pants =p … Okok.. the reason why she chose the place, as she claims.. is the nice dumplings there which the others don’t really have, and its the cheapest.

Chong Qing Zheng Zong… ah whatever…..

A thing about all this Ma La Huo Guo thingy in Singapore, is that they follow a certain China style of Steamboat concept. Not really something I fancy.. (I mean the soup) especially after having tested the Ma La Huo Guo in taiwan.. Totally two different worlds ! But still.. ok lar.. I prefer the not spicy side for Singapore steamboats though…

Looks real spicy eh ? The other half is sour cabbage soup by the way.

Anyway, went on to whack all the beef I could find, and still it proved to be a hearty meal ! Well at least it was filling !

Soup tasting. Favourite pastime in the Lum Family.

Lydia’s snapshot of me. Dunno why always take bad angle one leh..

After our late late dinner… proceeded on to walkabout Liang Seah Street one of the busier streets at night in the bugis area.

Liang Seah Street, One of my favourite hangouts since Poly Days!

Like this row of lanterns, found outside a Hong Kong Concept Coffeehouse.

My Current Desktop Wallpaper at work

Taken outside.. well… Liang Seah Place ?

Proceeded for a short walk in Hotel Intercontinental (actually wanted to borrow their toilet) and found it a great place for.. Camera whorinG !

Real sisters.. Got resemblance meh ? Guess who’s the older one.


My turn to bai pose !

Best impersonation Of Wong Fei Hong !

While exiting Hotel intercontinental, had a glimpse of the Designer Dollhouse Showcase. Odd, I seem more fascinated in the dolls more than the ladies !

The picture says it all


I’m a barbie girl, in a barbie world.. ( yes that irritating tune again)

After our short walk.. about 1/2 hour along the rest of bugis area.. decided to turn back towards Lydia’s house.. where myself and Weizhong played Winning Eleven 10, Fifa World Cup 2006 and Fifa Street2 till morning 6 am. Lydia was complaining about the noise though.

Saturday 14th Oct 06- Sunday 15th Oct 06

Was rushing my TMA on the egg, but found myself tempted to go Bird Park Hill to take photos, and follow the guys at 4 am to Labrador Park to fishing.. Damn shag. Shall not go into details.. And will keep the identity of my kakis. Promised them.

Another hectic and busy week passes… And I’m still hectic and busy… Injured my ligaments on the ankle during a basketball expedition in Choa Chu Kang.. And therefore was on MC monday and tuesday… Was on Off-in-lieu, wednesday .. so went to purchase my new baby, Canon EOS 400D.. As a new hobbyist, and a poor one… Sigh * really couldn’t afford to buy additional lenses. Anyway, sister is back this week from shanghai.. so her beautiful purchases became my models for photography.. I’m excused from RT due to the sprain.. so I think maybe would postpone to a later date…. Anyway.. Here is the breakdown…

Friday 6 OCT 06, Mid-Autumn Festival at Sentosa 12 MN

Sentosa on a hazy foggy night.

Went down to Sentosa with my neighbourhood buddies, like every other year, we usually would light up the whole place and play with candles.. had a terrible time cause I sprained my ankle earlier on and walking in the sand was a hassle.

Declaring their love for us

So we carried on with playing sparklers and the girls decided to show us how much they care.. heehee.. okay lar.. we gave them this item coz its so easy to do…..

Jurong West St 52 528 Boys

We prefered to show our loyalty to our neighbourhood. I burned Vincent’s hand in the process.. heehee..

Burn Baby Burn!

Ryan’s choice of putting all the sparklers on the ceiling and them lighting them up together.. Beautiful I have to say.. Okay lar! I did a bad job with the photo.. Dunno how to operate Vincent’s Camera mah !

The Gang

Almost every year I celebrate this event with my buddies.. let’s hope we’ll carry this on next year !

Saturday 7th October NAN HUA HIGH SCHOOL, Mid Autumn Festival

The gang ! (Credit to http:/www.ykwphotos.blogspot.com)


Mr Lum, We want your $$!

Anyway, spend $30 on small souvenirs from the sec 2s. Seriously speaking.. I also don’t know what I bought. No choice, I’m a vegetable head.

I really no $$ lar !

$30 worth of dunnowhat…

This produces a nice scent though

This is unique!

8th- 10th October 2006, Home

Doing Assignment whole day. Boring. Got MC for 3 days.

11th October 2006, New baby

Sister & Me

Bought a new camera, It’s a Canon EOS 400D. Kit lens only lar.. Come on.. I’m still a noob.

Have been using my notebook recently, and found a lot of old photos of mine in my notebook. Brought a couple of memories… Reminded me of some happy times…

EX Highnoon, Gao Hsiong, Taiwan

Really enjoyed the Taiwan Exercise, I was there for almost a month. I was really afraid of being alone initially because I was the only representative from my Unit. Luckily, made friends with all the others involved in this Exercise, the days were fun, it was a great experience overall !

This was where I used to sleep in at Heng Chun Camp. Looks like refuge camp hor. But yet its one of the best camps !! The other camps were worst !

My bunk buddies

My Ops vehicle outfield

This was in a pub at Kenting. There were great pole dancers.

The roadside stalls. Trust me the food is great !

22 Bottles of Taiwan Beer. Cheap ! $2.50 SGD each maybe ?

Me and SSG Chan. Damn funny Encik. Sneaked out in the middle of an exercise to a provision shop to buy beer.

This is what happens after drinking. Photo is mant to be small so nobody can see my face clearly when in steam mode !

Roads of Taiwan, This is Gao Hsiong. How ? I look like the locals ?

Liu He Ye Shi (6 Junction Night Market), bustling with atmosphere. Great food !

Taiwan-Japo Restaurant. Our first meal in Gao Hsiong.

The whole Gang out drinking on nights out. Really missed those days.

Well, guess since I was talking about my Unit days probably thought I might as well show a picture of my Brigade Active Staff.

My commander COL Kuek Joo Leng on my left. Nonono… I’m not the BDE 2 IC!

My Closed Ones

Dad. And I thought I was more of a poser than him!

Mom. Hot mama eh ?

The folks. Dad’s nickname was black vampire.

Lydia, 4 years ago. Ya.. This was my room 4 years ago too.

I think this is still my favourite photo of us both. But can you imagine, we took this with a webcam ! No $ buy camera mah.

Family in Year 2000

Than I found a couple of iconic things that I actually bothered to create.

Mini-Me

And the legend that I actually Symbolise…………….

One-Arm Condor Hero Yang Guo

Back to Work !

Haven’t been able to post for quite some time. And some friends have been complaining that my blog is somewhat too inconsistent… Well, that’s good.. cause at least somebody has been reading it !

It’s not that I have nothing to post, but more to being to busy to post. Just had to cramp for 2 consecutive assignments this semester and because this year is a non examination year, things are getting hectic in the assignment area…

Anyway, a rough breakdown of the week that just past( or rather 9 days)…

Saturday, 23rd September 2006
Went back to SIM to work on Mathematics for 3D Graphics. Was bad. Couldn’t catch anything. Left Lancer and Ken to do the thinking. Nothing else eventful I guess. Oh yah, watched the Red Devils match at Reading at the 501 kopitiam ( It’s 24 Hours now !) Concluded Darren Stretcher and Kieran Li-Ka-San equal horrible draws to weaker teams.

Even the ball gets scared of him.

Kieran (Li-Ka-San)Richardson is a disgrace. He can’t shoot, is selfish, tries hard to dribble, loses the ball and shows his ugly face.

One Of the hobbits decided to join the Reds.

Fletcher(Stretcher) just looks like a lost robot. Stiff and confused. Went on to see Man United fetch a draw after a penalty for reading thanks to a Neville Handball.

Sunday, 24th September 2006
Played Basketball with the guys at Hong Kah East CC in the morning. Nothing interesting really, just that we 5 all managed to make it, and Vincent had a bloodied nipple, after the opposition practiced his Wolverine Claw. I also sneaked into the Ladies very tactically, cause the hum-sup basketball just made its way inside(Heng, boh lang!). Went on for Dinner with Lydia at our new hangout.. yayaya.. the one with the BBQ crab. Sedap ! I’m addicted to it. Went on to rush my mathematics till 5 am in the morning. But made lots of progress! Finally understand !

Monday, 25th September 2006
Bad bad bad bad day! She left me. And this time she left me for good. I guess its all my fault. I never really cherished her. She almost left me a month ago.. yet I didn’t learn my lesson. But than again.. maybe she deserved better…

Sigh *

Reminds me of a song from Jacky Cheung

歌曲：吻别

我的世界开始下雪
冷得让我无法多爱一天
冷得连隐藏的遗憾
都那么地明显
我和你吻别
在无人的街
让风痴笑我不能拒绝
我和你吻别
在狂乱的夜
我的心等著迎接伤悲

Sigh * You’ll always be in my heart… my dearest dopod our relationship may have lasted for only 6 months.. But our memories will last an eternity.

So sad.. Never even took a photo with it before.
Damn suay also.. OM was not around went I needed him.. Needed him to show me the CCTV.By the time he came back.. My mobile phone was taken by the next passenger in the taxi already.. =p
Decided, let everybody laugh all they like. I’m happy with my lock cock replacement Nokia 1st Generation Colour screen phone. Aiyah.. Can use can already what. But $800 plus leh my dearest dopod.. heart paiN !

Nothing else memorable, only kanna suan siao by a few people.. rush my TMA all the way… morale super duper low.

Tuesday and Wednesday, 26th & 27th September 2006
Was on MC for both days. Woke up feeling darn horrible and deaf in a ear. Went to see the doctor and he said I was heaty. Not enough hydration. Felt odd when I can’t hear things on my right ear. Was given a solution for the ear.. but didn’t help much leh.. somemore the solution so sticky and hot on the ear….

Watched my beloved Red Devils take on Benfica… Lucky for the win seriously.. Cristiano Ronaldo is playing well this season so far.. Well, or at least he fares better than the bumbling 2 of Utd ( see Sat, 23rd September) That’s 6 points for United !

Thursday, 28th September 2006
Back at work. Nothing significant that I can remember, was darn busy at work. Hmmm… Oh yah.. Played football with the guys in the evening at my basketball court in the evening… yah.. thats about it. Boring Thursday hor? Oh yah.. fasting month already right ?

Friday, 29th September 2006
It’s Weeheng’s Birthday ! Had a power packed busy day today ! First at work.. some student issues…. I shall not talk about it.. Than went on to chair a meeting for Project Management back in SIM.. followed up with Mahjong at home till 5 am in the morning.

我自摸发财！你吹吗？

Reached my $130 target per session.(actually won $150, but their big breakfasts cost a bomb !) No choice.. Now my sideline job.. lost handphone leh ! I also have eyes on Canon EOS KISS.. but no $$ leh… Any sponsors ??

Saturday, 30th September 2006
My Lydia Day ! Had dinner back at Ju Ju Hotpot with Lydia, and special guest Gz and Winnie. Slight change in presentation. Shall post the pics soon.. Don’t have my memory card here. Anyway.. I think I took almost 2 over hours to finish my dinner. Gz was complaining and complaing.. No choice mah.. My Set got crab..than I don’t eat meh !

Sunday, 1st October 2006
Carried on doing my assignment at Ken’s Place, followed by Lunch at the Market.. forgot the market name.. Watch the Bah Kut Teh Hawkers skirmish among themselves… what a culture.. Leslie was complaining that the intestines were too raw. I thought ok ? Went back feeling sluggish as usual…. after lunch syndrome.. Took a break.. saw some funny clips on YouTube.. Found an Mp3 sung by myself on my notebook.. (recorded on 2004) haha.. funny.. Anyway.. proceeded to finish the project for the day. Went back home took a short nap. Had basketball in the evening at Boon Lay CC with Ryan, Rick, Shikun.. Won 5 consecutive matches continously.. until all too shag out…than lost.. subsequently, The next game ended prematurely.. because of a couple of elbows and ah… mere bickering… Proceeded on home.. Took a break before catching the Red Devils beat the Magpies, 2-0 !

ole, ole, ole, ole…
Me and Ryan were desperately hoping Solskjaer would score his hat-trick.. but don’t have leh !

Yah lar.. that was my 9 days.
