The Magdalene Gown

As a number of you would know, the gown is quite often used in Cambridge, especially when you're a fan of formal halls. This picture was taken before i headed off to the Scholars' dinner this year, held last Wednesday.

It dawned upon me that this would be the last time I attend such a dinner, being in my final year already. Then suddenly the piece of black cloth seemed so much more significant now. heh. The pair of cuff links were a gift from meisheng and was aptly at convenience for a prop. =)

The Scholars' dinner this year was slightly different to previous years. Other than the fact that I was served pork this time round (compared to vegetarian substitute), I had a very good chat with a biological dos, a MIT exchange coursemate and my dos. It was very good fun, especially now that my research is on biofuel.

I think magd people would appreciate that the picture captures the 'unique' design of the Magdalene gown. To read more, http://www.societies.cam.ac.uk/cuhags/gowns/m.htm

Mercenary

Designed the poster for the upcoming talk organised by the buddhist soc. Thought i'd share it here too.

Mid-Autumn Festival

As a result of jetlag, i was up at 5am. At about 6am, as I drew the curtains to check if the sun has risen, this sight caught me. So I fumbled over the dark to find my camera and took a few snaps.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

*Long is in Cambridge. and I had mooncake with Long and Ryan last night. =)

Singapore, Sept 2009

Took the chance to snap some pictures of the younger cousins during the 100th day ceremony of ahma. I think most of them turned out pretty good. people were generally happier than previous occasions and less serious.

Yo-yo seems to be the in thing with the younger boys.
Jinliang (?) jumped into the mud puddle next to larry and got him wet and messy.

Not sure what was so interesting with that. I think they were pretty amused.
Some mixture of grains that we were meant to throw on the elders command. Thought it was an interesting mix of colours.

Nostalgia seems to be the in thing lately. Just realised it's still Timberland. heh.

Good things don't come easy

Sunset @ Oia, Satorini

A certain someone said, good things don't come easy.

The reason why I like this picture isn't only because it was a pretty dramatic sunset at the tip fo the island, but more so due to the fact that i needed to run all over the hilly roads of Oia to find this scene. But having gotten there, i found two photographers camping there already. Hence to frame the shot, i had to bend over the fence and stretched my body (quite risky now that i think of it haha) with the sun setting fast. hahah! i thought that was quite hilarious, but hey I was a tourist. =D

If anyone who has gotten the collage has not noticed, this picture was use in the background separating the two layers of pictures. ;-)

Sunset at Muara Beach

I've always been a fan of sunset pictures. Family decided to make a trip down to Muara beach during the late afternoon - so i brought along the camera. Turned out to be quite a dramatic sunset. I think the sunset in South East Asia is very different to that in Greece. It's probably because the presence of clouds make it more interesting. Well, I'll let you decide when I put up the Santorini sunset pictures - which are long overdue.

Two of my favourite shots.
