Trying out these new presets, and oh my gosh I am
just loving them so much ???
Mama Chin made a simple
yet super delicious lunch for me :’)
I really gobbled everything up hehe.
Bacon + bread + salad !!
Mama Chin treated Chek
and I to dinner at the Bibigo branch in Raffles City. It was my first time
eating there and I really like the food! Of course it’s a little more expensive,
but it’s healthier and you don’t leave with the oily disgusting feeling, hehe.
After that I wanted to
head to Chijmes to take some pictures since Christmas decorations are up all
around the city area already.
HAHA okay so I actually wanted
to come to Chijmes for this. Photos
taken from my camera did not even turn out good :-( Oh well, walking is always
fun ^_^
While we were walking,
we stumbled upon Library@Orchard! It’s both our first time seeing the place and
I really really like it. We saw two available seats (though the library is
rather spacious with lots of seats) and sat down for a rest to soak in the atmosphere.
It just so happened that we were sitting next to the photography books section!
How lucky, hehe. So obviously I went to pick up a book to read :-)
I’ve noticed that
“Korea” photography has recently picked up! I think it’s becoming a trend, most
likely because the country is filled with a fusion of modernity and tradition.
I picked up “Korea –Korea” by Dieter Leistner.
At first I was just
flipping through the pages admiring the scenes of Korea, not realising what the
author’s project was about. Suddenly, there were two pictures of the inside of
a train – however it was starkly obvious that one picture showed a more
developed area while the other depicted a more derelict place. Chek and I
suddenly realised that the author was making a comparison between South and
North Korea!
(okay yes it sounds stupid – like why did I not just read the
summary first?)
I was very impressed by
his photography project and started scrutinizing the pictures further.
I’m glad
that I picked up that book because it was really interesting :-)
I can’t wait to go back
and read more!!
We walked into Muji,
because my OCD-ness pulled me towards the ever so neatly arranged shelves of
the store, ahh. When I get my own apartment or something, I want to model it
after Muji stores hahaha.
Chek really likes these
over-sized (at least to me) bags!! Yes, I agree that they look good with him
but I think the size is too ridiculous to be used on a daily basis. I think if
he’s using it for travelling then it’s cool, but still, hahaha!
