project 365

I got myself an iPhone in Feb and downloaded the application for project 365. For those who are unfamiliar with the notion of project 365, it will be to take a picture a day for a year. Towards the end of 2009, I was tempted to take up this idea but was wondering if I had the time and determination to pull through the whole year, being able to take pictures,every single day. I gave up this idea and went for the "a picture a week' so that it wil be less time consuming.

Yet, after downloading the application, taking a picture a day does not seems to be that hard of a task and I do it everyday with ease. Then the thought of "what if I lose my iphone and I will really like to keep a copy of the pictures as well as my thoughts. So, I decided that I will be printing out my pictures and stick them in a book, together with my thoughts.

When I'm back from Japan, I will be filling this book with pictures of Feb. There is one rule I had set for myself, that will be, no pop - up nor buttons - everything needs to be flat.

Picture of the week 10 will need to wait for I want to take the picture in Japan. I am almost all ready to go.

picture of the week - 9

I almost forgotten about this week picture because my sister is back in home. I had been really busy spending family time with everyone, from my Grandma, aunties, Godmum and lots of shopping time with my sister. From the last time she is back, there had been three shopping malls which had opened, so we were shopping from mall to mall.

There is a saying that "the family who eats together stays together", this is a picture taken before dinner tme. When we were younger, my family goes to my Grandma's house almost 6 days a week for dinner, I had so many memeories of my sister and I eating these home cooked food and how my Grandma will be asking us to come eat at the dinner table. Being a Chinese family, the dinner table is always round. A round of greetings to ask our Elders to "eat" before dinner starts.

The reason for choosing this picture is I like the mood that my lens had captured. Seeing how happy the both of them look is enough to put a smile on my face. My sister is working in Sydney for the past 5 years , these family dinners only happens for 3 weeks in a year. These family dinner nowadays come rare, and I had been bringing my DSLR over to almost all the dinner gatherings.

3 more days and I will be off for my Japan trip.

the love month

to be blogging about Feb in the month of Mar really means that I really need to work harder at blogging. It was a busy month with first Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day falling on the same day, the preparation before Chinese New Year, the many different dinners which MT and I had to attend and the CNY shopping MT& I had to do.

This is what I had made for MT for this year Valentine's Day : another mini album. The first Valentine's Day we spent together, I made a mini album to entered an online scrapbook challenge. This year, I had decided for every Valentine's Day we spend together, I will make an album for MT. He said that he likes to look through the scrapbook stuff which I made hence this decision. This album starts with the venue that MT had asked me to be his ger and it captured all the sweet memories of 09.
