Went for a 10-km walk at the MacRitchie Reservoir Park yesterday. I didn’t take that many photos because the skies looked a little threatening at times and so we hurried a little. Even so, I really enjoyed the walk and the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 was a joy to work with.

My favourite Japanese restaurant is a little nondescript restaurant tucked away in Ginza Plaza, along West Coast Road Anchorpoint Shopping Centre along Alexandra Road. Sakuraya was recommended by a former colleague about 3 years ago, and I’ve been a loyal and regular patron ever since. The restaurant serves excellent sashimi and sushi at a very reasonable price. The sashimi is always fresh probably because the owners also run a fish mart. The fish mart, which also sells a variety of frozen and processed foods from Japan, used to be just next door and has since relocated to the Buona Vista area early this year.
I volunteer with a group of friends on a semi-regular basis at the Gift of Love Home run by the Missionaries of Charity.
On the second Saturday of every other month, we make lunch for the residents. It’s a mad mad rush usually, especially when we decide to also do breakfast. I don’t usually take a lot of photos when we make lunch because there’s always plenty else that needs to be done.
A couple of weeks ago, we decided to do a little Lantern Festival celebration for the Home. I had the opportunity to take some photos but it was a little tricky with the lack of light. 
I had fun anyway, and we hope the residents did too.
I was asked recently to help some friends with a mini-”product shoot” for some beautiful angel ornaments that they were making to raise funds for a Habitat for Humanity project. The first batch of photos were needed in a hurry so I had to come up with a DIY mini home studio real quick. I grabbed a roll of mahjong paper (basically big white sheets of paper) on the way home from work, thinking I could use them as a cheap backdrop. In the end, I just used an A4 sheet of paper propped up against a desk light, and the mahjong paper ended up being a pretty good reflector instead. I wish I had taken some pictures of the setup but it took no more than 10 minutes to setup and even less to tear down.
I think I didn’t do too badly for my “first time”. A little rough at the edges, but with a little work in Photoshop, the photos turned out okay. At least my friends seem pleased with it.
I dropped by the “angel-workshop” on Saturday and took some more photos. Response has been great for the angels so far and they are selling out fast. Great work guys!
