LITTLE VIGNETTES

Such a uniquely film thing, what I take when I need to finish up a roll.

From top:

Do they still use these in HK, or has everything changed? (I miss my HK friends)

The little Pea loves to paint.

Dressing up a plain wall with two cheeky monkeys.

A SNIPPET IN TIME

Because kids and cats and even our homes change so much, sometimes even as I snap I feel that all I'm trying to hold on to is an irrevocably tiny moment in time.

2021 is almost halfway gone.

MY OTHER TWO KIDS

These two.

The reason why I often feel like a mama of four.

TETE-A-TETE

I'm not so sure how well these two can understand each other's coos and meows, but somehow they can do this all day.

STAY HOME

More from the expired roll (argh to too much grain).

My everyday scene, cat included.

The peanut and the pea.

What I see usually, while stir-frying veggies.

Though with this one smiling at me the whole time, I'm really not complaining.

GAGA MAMA

Loaded a C-200 into my FM2, I think the lab did their best but with an expired roll (yes, films are expensive), you can't do much with the colours a bit off and the grain.

Though I would say, none of this really matters that much to a gaga mama 😍

A LITTLE PEANUT

So the small pea became a big sister.

Welcome to this strange and wonderful world, little peanut.

SLEEPYHEADS AT 4.30PM

One just got up from her nap.

The other two just went on sleeping.

Can I be a kid... ...or a cat?

AUGUST & A BIT OF SEPTEMBER

Things seen through the new natura classica recently (thank you H.E).

LIFE WITH A TODDLER #006

The things that she says nowadays makes me laugh.

***

Hands me a plastic ice cream cone.

'Mama you want ice cream?'

'Ok thank you.'

After pretending to eat I put it aside and continued typing.

She ran back after a while.

'Mama, where's the ice cream?'

'In my tummy yum yum'

'You ate the TOY?'

***

She was carrying a small goodie bag.

'Was it your friend's birthday in school today?'

'Yes got birthday cake and candles!'

'Did you sing happy birthday to your friend?'

'Yes, teacher told me not to sing so loudly.'

***

Conversation on the bus.

'Look that's popo (grandma)'s old school.'

'Popo went to school?'

'Yes when she was a little girl.'

'Did you bring popo to school?'

***

Walks out of school looking very solemn.

'Mama, there's a thinking chair in school.'

'Oh what's a thinking chair?'

'If you do something naughty you have to sit on the thinking chair.'

'And what do you have to do on the thinking chair?'

'Hmm... ...you have to cry.'

LOL

GETTING ACQUAINTED (AGAIN)

I checked back on my blog posts and realized that this is the first roll from my Nikon after four years (how did that happen?). Testing out this roll indoors at home on the ISO100, I've forgotten how powerful the nifty-fifty is.

Minus the challenge of a squirmy toddler (and cats for that matter) with manual focusing, I think I might have fallen in love with this camera all over again.
