Shutterbugs has been bugging (no pun intended) me alot as we are nearing to Chinese New Year and I dont have the time to go out for some shooting session. Cracking my head, I kinda struggled to find an interesting subject to shoot just to keep those shutterbugs at bay. Lucky me when I realized I got this beautiful electronic guitar with me and it has been a while since I shoot some photo of it. So there it is… my beautiful electronic guitar.

If you have been wondering whether I do play a guitar or not, the answer is yes.

But before I end this post, I must confess that the above guitar is not a real electronic guitar. It is just a model electronic guitar that I got for myself back in the old days.

Sorry for the late updates. Busy with works and of course, preparation for the upcoming Chinese New Year.

Well, above is one of the photo taken last year during a wedding dinner. The rose was so inviting that I spent quite some times capturing the very essence of the rose itself. It gives me a sense of romance and beauty and that is what I want to share this weekend.

This photo was taken at the end of last year when I was in a Buddhist Youth Camp. This is a photo taken during one of the activities where participants are required to be blindfold and walk through a room full of candles. While awaiting for participants to come, I took the opportunity to snap photos of these candles. This is one of my favourite photo from the whole set that I took. Hope you would like this.

After the success of Tiger Woohoo last year, Astro has come up with another local production, Great Day.

I wont says much about the storyline but I must comment that the movie touch more on more serious topics.

Topics such as putting the parents at old folks home, single parent family and parent giving excuses to work instead of spending time with the children are some of the important message it is trying to send to the viewer…. For someone who passed thru some of those “scenes”, I had alot of mix feelings while watching the movie. Nevertheless, it is a good movie to watch.

One interesting quote in the movie is as below:

父母只能陪我们上半生，而我们只能看到父母的下半生。。

Parent can only accompany the first half of the child’s life, while the child can only accompany the parent’s latter half of life”

Now I am looking forward for the other local production for this year’s Chinese New Year.

It has been a while since I last post a Photo of the Week. Here is one that I took from my business trip to Turkey. The place above is Konya, a place somewhere in central Turkey. The place above is  Mevlana Museum. It is a mausoleum of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi, a Sufi mystic also known as Mevlâna or Rumi. The photo is taken on the top of a hotel that is just across the street from the place.
