AND WHAT'S BETTER THAN TEA, SOME CAKE, AND A HORSE OR TWO

At the Riders Cafe. For just a few hours at least, I had fun pretending I was in some old English countryside.

We were lucky to have gotten the chance to car-sit for a friend for around a month, and me with the usual aversion to crowded places, got my dream of exploring some out-of-the-way places that you just can't go without a set of wheels. This was one of them :)

May has started off really well with a pleasant surprise at work, and I've got lots to look forward to. Next week, a good run at the Gardens by the Bay (I haven't been yet); next next week brings 2 special classica sisters B & N from HK, we're going to have so much fun shooting and eating (sukiyaki home party!); and a short trip out nearing the end of the month.

For these I feel so grateful.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend, though it's pouring here. I shall take this chance to stay home and get some housewife-like duties done. Oh and for a bit of the pre-monday blues, I'm loving these little NHK video clips by my favourite Japanese actress.

It's saying, 'Hang in there, weekday'.

PLAYING TOURIST

Took a walk with my camera after work. My office happens to be in a very touristy part of town.  

Went to the museum to see what it takes to be a Lego Artist. So who says you have to be an accountant or a lawyer?

And I went back again and again and again. Cheese souffle everytime. Yum.

GOING THROUGH A PHASE

 

Michael Bublé sounds so good when your photos are going badly. 

Two rolls of thirty-six and I can't pull out five shots I like. 

And while I'm pondering if my camera's due for some general servicing, I shall put on more jazz and go to sleep. 

Good night.

MID-WEEK

The Coastal Settlement at Changi + Supermama at 8Q.

Just dropping by to say hello, with a few from the new roll.

FORGOTTEN BITS

At and around the Kurino station in Kagoshima. I can't remember why I had forgotten to upload these before with the rest of the Kyushu photos, but here they are.

Waiting to drop off a roll at the lab tomorrow. Last week had been a fun one with friends dropping in from HK and Tokyo. HC and I played tour guide and I got the chance to pick up my Minolta again while doing a bit of exploring around the island.

Trying not to let the blog lay fallow for so long. I had a grand total of 1 post in March and this is already April! Will post something again soon, meanwhile hope everyone gets a good recharge before the new week begins.

Oh and just in case you might be interested, a great book that I've been eating up in chunks. It makes me feel less bad about wanting to potter around at home all the time ;)
