Rottweiler Pups at Tanjong Beach

I was at Tanjong Beach today and I saw 2 cute rottweiler pups under one of the shelters there. The lady that is taking care of these 2 pups told me that she received a phone call from one of her friends that their mother died and it had 6 pups. These were only 2 out of 6 pups. She's hoping someone adopt them as she has a busy schedule herself and she having it difficult to taking care of them.

I told Dilyse about it and she told me her friend was interested in adopting them. But it was too late as the lady already left before I got the news from Dilyse. They are such a cutie. I hope they find an owner that will take good care of them :)

Things Have Changed

It’s been so long since I blogged! Hahaha! I suppose I always say this when I write a new entry.

I miss Sentosa Spooktacular! Went there for the staff preview, 2^nd last day and the last day. I should have gone for all 6 nights!

I think if I hadn’t gave away my staff ticket, I wouldn’t be writing this blog. I gave my staff ticket away as I planned not to come for the event as it fell on my off day. On that day itself, I came down in the morning to do some filming on Kai’s GoPro and ended up staying later than I expected. I decided to join Yamini and Wati for lunch at TOA as I decided to leave after having lunch with them. As we were paying our meals, Berg Ramli from Events was near the counter and asked me if I was going for Spooktacular? Told him I wasn’t as I gave my ticket away. He asked if I wanted to go. He continued to say that he could let me in for free if I took photos for him. I was contemplating at first. He gave me his number telling me if I decide to come, give him a call. I had my camera with me but I didn’t bring my flash. I asked Yamini if I could borrow her car and drive home to take my camera flash. She agreed.

I went there, took some photos went for just one trail because the other trails were having queues that were just too long!

When I got home, uploaded the pictures and I slept right after that.

On the same week on the weekend, The Singapore Open Water Lifesaving Competition was on. It was a history in the making.

I have a different approach on how I’ll be photographing them this year.

Beach Patrol 2012 Team

 

Randon Tan in his Ironman heats where he went to win silver in the finals on the same day.

The Beach Patrol brought back 2 gold, 2 silvers and 3 bronzes! Congrats boys!

I managed to browse the pictures I took at Spooktacular during my rest day. Saw the picture below to be rather interesting.

Then I changed it to black and white. BOOM! I got the picture.

Retouched a little and this was what I got.  This was my personal favorite.

I posted this photo on my Instagram with #sentosa #spooktacular #2012 and this guy found this picture and told me that the girl was his friend. I told the guy to thank her for me. Then she retweeted it and I was over the moon!

I went back on the 2^nd last day to see if I can find her but I disappointed that she wasn’t wearing the same costume. Someone else was. After some time, I manage to find her in another costume.  Which I think her previous one was much better.

This time I brought a friend of mine, Yao Rong, along. My photo setup was much different that night. I didn’t bring a flash but instead I brought an LED light which was a tip given by a photographer friend whom uses LED light to shoot street photography at low light environments. I thought I tried it out.

Since my friend came, I asked if I could use his help to light up the talents as I take a photo of them and he said ok. 

A shot I took of him holding the LED with the fog surrounding him. Loved this in black and white!

These are some of the photos that I was able to create with just one LED light.

I did manage to find her at the rest area! She’s one of the twins!

I am really proud of myself for being able to create some very nice pictures from The Singapore Open Water Lifesaving Competition and Sentosa Spooktacular 2012. A year ago I started my photography hobby and now I'm impressed at what I am able to create. I hope to create better pictures in the future. Cheers!

Max Brenner's Banana Split Waffle

This is what I had for my last day of my 30 days desserts project and I had Banana Split Waffle from Max Brenner.

 

I have finally come to the last dessert of my 30 days desserts project! It's such a great feeling to complete it but at the same time sad that it has ended. Looking back at all those photos brings me to the time where and when I had them. Good memories. 

 

 

Swiss Bake Chocolate Eclair

This is what I had for my twenty nineth day of my 30 days desserts project and I had chocolate eclair from Swiss Bake.

 

I don't remember having this kind of eclair's for a very long time. Had those mini eclairs a few times but I hadn't start this project yet.

 

This one is filled with chocolate cream, and some are filled with vanilla or even custard cream. Nice mix of chocolate and pastry with every bite. Probably not the best I've tasted but it's definitely a nice try for those starting a similar project :)

Beard Papa Cream Puff with chocolate filling

This is what I had for my twenty eighth day of my 30 days desserts project and I had cream puff with chocolate filling from Beard Papa.

 

I like this cream puffs a lot! The first time I had it many years ago, I got hooked by it. I've never found any better than this.

 

This was the last few pieces that the shop had as it were closing for the day. Thankfully, this was as close to the original one but with chocolate filling. The puff itself is soft and the cream is very nicely balanced. A bite from it makes you want to have more!

A very nice dessert indeed. Cheaper than most desserts and definitely delicious too.

Yigloo's Natural Froyo with Fruity Pebbles.

This is what I had for my twenty seventh day of my 30 days desserts project and I had natural froyo with fruity pebbles from Yigloo.

 

  This was the nearest froyo from my work and thank goodness a friend told me about it. I was beginning to hate traveling to get my desserts. 

 

I like the sour taste of the original flavor of this froyo and the texture. To finish it off, I added some color with fruity pebbles.

Eatzi Gourmet Restaurant Mango Sliced Cake

This is what I had for my twenty sixth day of my 30 days desserts project and I had Mango Sliced Cake from Eatzi Gourmet Restaurant.

 

  Bought this at Bedok soon after I got my Canon 5D Mark 2 from a fellow ClubSnap member. I was more interested to play with my new toy than to do find a dessert for my project.

 

 I love mangoes and any dessert with mangoes are usually very sweet and nice. This was no exception. The top layer was slices of mangoes held together by a jelly, layered with vanilla cream, mango cream, cake, mango cream and a thin crust.

 

It was sweet, soft and easily eaten. A reasonable portion for 1 person.
