The Cherry On My Ice-Cream.

"EE EE!!!!"

I have lost count of the many times where strangers have mistaken these boys as my sons. I won't deny the fact that there are moments where I do feel like their mom. I also won't deny the fact that these boys have made an impact in my life, they have such a special place in my heart. When I come back home feeling so tired, they call my name aloud and give me the warmest hug. I've watched them grow before my eyes and all I can say that is that I thank God for these boys. For showing me that the simplest things in life can bring joy & fun, for showing me the true meaning of transparency and for showing me that we can still smile even when things get rough. My prayer is that these boys will experience more of Jesus in their life & to be more like Him each day.



 Ee Ee loves you so much, Nate & Evan :)

Time.

So, my final semester has just started and the very first assignment I had was from General Studies which is a compulsory subject for private college students (Yay assignments!)
Basically, this assignment was about time & stress management. We were asked to draw out a time-table to show how we manage our time. Funny isn't it? I mean, college students and time tables in the 21st century, really?
But anyways, I still did it.



As I finished my work, I paused for a moment and stared at the time table.

24 hours in a day,
1440 minutes in a day,
7 days a week,
10080 minutes in a week.
That's a lot of time, guys. A lot of time.




Juggling work life with studies hasn't exactly been the easiest thing but I know that it's worth it. I will not deny the fact that getting out of bed hasn't been very easy, even with the help from my beloved alarm clock ringing every 5-10 minutes. As I look at my time table, I think to myself "Am I making every second of the day count?"



When I'm going through Facebook, could I have been doing something more beneficial?

Maybe I could have been spending time with my nephews and invest life into these boys.

Maybe I could have been reading books or articles which can help me to pursue my passion in life.

When I want to spend time alone & relax, could I have been a better friend to someone else?

Maybe I could have spent more time just to be there and support someone at his/her lowest point in life.

When I'm enjoying my favourite meals, could I have used this money for something better?

Could I have done something better than this?

You may ask, "How does 2 hours of Facebook even kill someone?"
Well, 2 hour a day doesn't. But what about 56 hours a month? 672 hours a year?
There's nothing wrong in rewarding yourself and doing things that you love, but what does life even mean if our time is revolved only around ourselves?



It's really easy to fall back into our zone where it's all about our needs, our wants, our desires, our hopes, and our demands.
But I think that sometimes, just investing a little time for others will help you to understand life better.
It helps you to appreciate the every second in life that you have on Earth.
I want to make sure that I make every second of the day count, even if it means making some mistakes along the way.





I will try.
I want to make it count.

The Hng Family.

Yes, it's already 2015. I hope all of you are doing well so far :) So, here's the FIRST photoshoot I had in 2015 with a lovely group of people. They're a unit with so much joy and love for one another. I couldn't help but to feel comfortable in the warmth of this family's love. The previous photoshoot (which you can click HERE) consists of 4 people, well this photoshoot consists of 7 :)  I must say that every time there's an adorable baby (just like one which you will see soon) in a photoshoot, my heart jumps just a tiny wee bit with joy, I mean like, who doesn't love cute babies?!

Say hello to the parents of the oh-so adorable.........

Jayden!

As I have mentioned before that my favourite kind of shots are those which are candid, unplanned & beautiful in it's own way, well these guys definitely did just that :) They were not only co-operative with the ideas I gave, they were also just having fun behind & in front of the camera & I love that. Thank you for allowing me to capture these precious moments with all of you. I hope that the pictures taken will be a reminder of God's goodness & faithfulness over your family. Do continue to strengthen & love one another. Am looking forward to more sessions with you guys in the future as baby Jayden has many more adorable siblings! ;)





P.S// A big shoutout to Mr Tan Le Roy as he was not only the driver & photoshoot assistant, but he also helped by using his Photoshop knowledge in making sure that certain subjects of pictures were clear, without distractions. This wouldn't have happened without your help & support. Thank you :)

The Ch'ngs

Hello, people!

Before I start... Blessed 2015, everybody! It's good to be back again and to be able to share with all of you on something I recently worked on. There's just something about anniversaries, where two souls joined as one celebrate their love story and as the years go by, the love is strengthened. Be it 5 years or 50 years of marriage, I believe that anniversaries need to be cherished and celebrated every year. Well, just about a week ago, I had the privilege to capture two very special people's 6th anniversary.

These two lovelies are none other than Gabriel & Eunice Ch'ng.  For some of you who have been following my work, they are the parents of the good looking boys also known as the Ch'ng Brothers. As you go through these pictures, you will understand where the Ch'ng Brothers' good looking genes come from!

So, rain poured early in the morning. Hence, the photoshoot had to be done indoor which is different from what I had planned earlier but it was still a good session with them :) Definitely look forward to more anniversary photoshoot sessions with lovely couples!

Congratulations again, you two! Continue to dance in the different seasons of life and here's to many more sweeter years ahead for the both of you and the boys :)
