A birthday to remember

Every couple of years, I somehow always reach a cross road in my life when I reach a birthday. Seems like deja vu again this year, 2011 of the last year. I suppose some decisions need to be made in the next couple of months but as the future’s still a bit unclear, it’s one day at the time for me. In the meantime, I just got the most wonderful birthday gift ever. Maybe that’s what trigger my life’s cross-road feeling but then again, this birthday has forever changed my life.

Presenting the newest addition to our EKML Visuals family… although more as a model (mandatory) than a photographer!


A CNY Burger party

After multiple rounds of Chinese New Year dishes and over-loading on carbs, we decided on a burger night with home-made burgers, salad and coleslaw. Nothing beats having good food and family over to spend some time with each other. They are what I’m always thankful for. As the festivities come to a close, another amazing year with the most amazing person in the world. When I wake up and see her by my side, that’s what makes heart sing and what I’ll always be so blessed — no matter what comes my way!

My nephew can’t wait to light up some fireworks so our home was a pretty good place to do it. We are blessed with a pretty sizable front lawn so… “fire in the hole!” Before the fireworks photos get posted, here comes our delicious dinner first. If you’d like the burger recipe, head over here.

Happy New Year 2011

Nothing much to see or write 🙂 but hope everyone has had a fantastic 2010. I know I did and I’m looking forward to 2011. It may be a great year or it may be a challenging year, but with my darling with me, it’ll turn out fine.

2010 – The Year on Don’t Panik in Pictures

2010 – the year that was, through whatever lens or camera I happen to have at that time.

A year filled with blessings that overflow, with experiences that push me forward and upwards, with family and friends that remind me how rich and blessed I am with them around me.

Merry Christmas everybody!

Wow. 2010 is ending. That was quick. Whatever happened to the three hundred odd days that just went by?

Anyways, it’s Christmas time again and due to some minor issues, we had to postpone the moving in of our Christmas tree. Before we knew it, it’s Christmas eve!!! Since moving a 10-foot tree that weighs over forty kilos is not going to be easy, we decided against having the tree in the house this year… So here’s a re-run of last year’s Christmas tree time-lapse.

In the meantime, there’s plenty to be thankful for and I must say that 2010 is an unbelievably blessed year thanks to so many of you friends and family. Well, time to get the cameras ready and to pick-up the turkey.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

(video trivia : Shot on a Canon EOS 5D Mark II with a 24mm f/2.8 lens. The little bit of video at the end was with my makeshift glidetrack, EOS-5D Mark II and 50mm f/1.8 lens. The assembled video was Graded with MagicBullet Looks and Colorista.)

Faithfulness and assurance

“I have been young and now I am old,
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Or his descendants begging bread.”
~ Psalms 37:25

Give this soul what it needs
I want life from you in me
Jesus your love lifts me up
You’re all that I’ve been searching for
Everything I have is yours
Jesus your love lifts me up
