两只老虎

notice the differences between these 2 tigger? oh well, one is smaller, the other is kinda big...

IMG_0343 IMG_0344

very big indeed... megan's 叔叔, my little bro, bought a tigger for megan... over the phone, i tot he said big... but we never expected it to be huge! and its bigger than megan wor... thanks bro, on behalf on megan...

IMG_0336

now megan got so many tiggers... why so many tigger wor? oh well, when she was smaller, megan seems to be attracted to the tigger on her musical mobile... and then, she got so many tiggers... :P

IMG_0340

haiz... she kept having this 'playful' look nowadays...

IMG_0338

ok, lets sit them all together... now you see, how big it really is...

IMG_0350

funny... it almost seems like 3 monkeys picking fleas off one another's back...

IMG_0352

then whats joelle doing? she is cooking dinner!

IMG_0345

my fav carrot soup and chawanmushi, except that it isn't steam in a tea cup...

IMG_0358 IMG_0359

had a very very full dinner... and after i eat the last grain of rice in my bowl, drank the last drop of soup, joelle said "b, 你很像肥了"

'prison break'

we realised, little one can no longer be contained within the 'barrier' of pillows we created around her on our bed... she is able to climb over the pillows liao... last thursday, we found her climbed over the pillow and dangling by the side of the bed, almost falling... like a ripe durain...

 

we had to put her on the cot whenever we had to leave her sleeping on her own... and so, out comes the cot... megan's little prision...

Presentation1

this little cot looks so little now... she hasn't slept on it for quite a few months liao... ever since she moved to sleep with us, the cot was like our temporary laundry storage area... keke...

IMG_0258

little one, like michael scofield, tried means and methods to... prison break...

IMG_0261

and of course, she failed... LL stayed inside the cot...

IMG_0262

IMG_0259

but of course, prison is not the end of the world... there is parent visiting day! see, megan's so happy to know parent visiting day is coming soon...

IMG_0269

once out of the prison, little one is all smiles...

IMG_0281 IMG_0293

IMG_0286 IMG_0306

IMG_0305

prison lifestyle isn't that bad afterall... cod fish for lunch...

IMG_0315

and plenty of naps...

IMG_0318

prison breaking no longer on megan's mind... keke... but seriously, we got to take precautions... especially when little one is so 'un-containable' nowadays...there will be times, when there is only one of us (me or joelle) at home and need to shower/sh*t with ease... the cot is the solution to leave megan by herself safely...

in the end, i'm getting a...

P1030746

canon eos 450d... :P

its a close fight between sony alpha a350 and canon eos 450d... both are of the same pricing... there are 2 groups of people who are affecting my choice, the sales group, and the pro-user group... it seems professional users don't like sony and the sales promoters loves to promote the sony model... funny trend i noticed...

however, its always best to listen to the pros... got one last advice from my wedding photographer, alvin who uses a nikon camera... and the advice is "i uses the nikon camera, but if to choose between canon and sony, i rather go for canon..."

okie, then where to buy neh? after some 'researches', i presented the proposal to joelle (who became the major share holder of the camera after forking out $500 for me)...

1. imm: best denki shop @ $1299, freebies:

  • 2 x 4GB SD card
  • 1 x spare battery
  • 1 x bag

2. chinatown: max photo @ $1180, freebies:

  • 2 x 8GB SD card
  • 1 x spare battery
  • 1 x bag

3. funan: south asia @ $1299, freebies:

  • 3 x 8GB SD card
  • 1 x spare battery
  • 1 x bag
  • 1 x cleaning kit
  • 1 x tripod

it seems option 3 is the best one to go for, until the last minute, i source another bidder...

4. liang court: audiohouse @ $1299, freebies:

  • 2 x 8GB SD card
  • 1 x spare battery
  • 1 x bag
  • 1 x cleaning kit
  • 1 x tripod
  • 1 x 30L electronic dry cabinet

 

so... i dun need to say where i got my camera from already... :)

i'm... dreaming of a white...

christmas! and a cold cold one today... weather's so cold, that we didn't give megan her morning shower... and instead, she is wrapped up in long sleeves and pants... and a blanket too... then i realised, she is so white wor...

P1030723

P1030724

lets do a head wrap... hmmm...

P1030725

P1030726

little one is so happy today... make my cold cold christmas day filled with warmth and happiness...

P1030733

and she even played nba live with me wor! ok, we're 'playing' the one player mode... i play the game with controller A, she play THE controller B... haha...

P1030739

 

went IMM to look at the cameras... in the end, it could be a sony alpha 350... haha, i'm so flicker minded...

40d/450d/d80?

on a silent nite like this... when everyone left our place after the party ends... when megan and joelle are fast asleep... i began to look at the photos i took with a dslr camera when we were visiting felicia last week (thanks to miranda, who painstakingly emailed me all the photos till 2:30am...)... the camera i tested on, is a canon eos 450d... i'm going to get my first dslr camera soon (and joelle promised to sponsor $500 as an early b'day gift)...

problem is... is it going to be:

- canon eos 40d @ ~$1599

- canon eos 450d @ $1099

- nikon d80 @ $1588

its going to be my first dslr camera, and so, an entry level should be sufficient... afterall, first time driver dun usually get a mecede as their first car right?

so, my eyes were kinda fixed at the eos 450d... afterall, these are the pictures i took with an eos 450d...

like i said before, you can't do this with lumix... there are lotsa bloggers who got pretty nice shots on their bloggie... say, jason who uses an eos 40d, leonny who uses her hubby's nikon d200 and i simply adore this and this shots she took, ed who uses nikon d40 mentioned to me once to go 4 it!

problem is, there are so many 'it's that i'm not sure which 'it' to go for...

1 2 3

even thou i'm kinda 'hooked on' the eos 450d model... keke...
