Singapore
A free-range baby orangutan sucking its thumb in Singapore Zoo, Singapore. This critically endangered species demonstrates significant intelligence, with an ability to reason and think. The orangutan is closest relatives, sharing 97% of the same DNA as humans. I’ve been to Borneo (Dec 2007) and was shocked at the amount of jungle cleared to make way for palm oil plantations. Close your eyes, and imagine flying into Sandakan on the east coast – as far as you can see there are rows upon rows of palm trees. Rows upon rows. Then more rows upon rows. Then more rows upon rows. “Orangutans are one of the most critically endangered of the great apes, due to poaching and habitat loss. Based on the World Bank’s estimation that mechanized logging in the Kalimantan forest, (Indonesian Borneo), will result in its total loss by 2010, and other statistics stating that wild orangutans are disappearing at a rate of 5,000 orangutans per year, optimistic predictions give the orangutan ten more years before extinction in the wild.” (Source: Borneo Orangutan Survival UK http://www.savetheorangutan.co.uk/index.php) Taken with Canon 5D, ISO 1250, f5.6, 1/50th sec, 100-400mm L Series Canon Lens @ 400mm, handheld, no flash, Auto white balance. No post production. Featured in Canon DSLR Group, Image Writing Group, Animal Portraits Group & All animals Great and small Group (May 2009).

I Love Me as a greeting card design!! =D / In the background is the kanji “ai”, 爱 meaning love.. n_n” There are some of us, who took it upon ourselves to do things for others. to help others.. to make others happy.. but we forgot about ourselves! we forgot that we need to make ourselves happy too. we need to love ourselves too. if we don’t love ourselves, who’ll love us? i dedicate this to every one of you kind souls out there!! remember to always love yourself as well!! =D i especially thank Karin who kept reminding me that i am love-able as well. bad history and with the kind of people i’m surrounded by, i was made to believe that nobody will love me for everything that i am. am made to realise all my faults and bad points and weaknesses. made to believe am ugly and useless. having depression doesn’t help as i view myself as nothing more than a mental girl. i totally believe that it’s impossible for anyone to really love me. But Karin showed me otherwise. she made me answer and admit my pretty gd points.. and i realised.. hey!! i can be love-able?! am still trying to accept that now.. lolz.. it’s still kinda hard to accept, having been instilled those “i sux!” mindset for years… ahahahah..

View from my balcony… I connected with this cityscape so much and photographed many times in various shades of light… Now, luckily I didn’t have to get up as early as Mel Brackstone does for her superb landscapes, this was shot early morning, and hopefully conveys some of the attitude that is Singapore…
Taken on a recent work trip to Singapore. It was a beautiful morning indeed! Its a 3 exp HDR with parts of the main exposure blended back in. Thanks for looking.

The reason Frazzle has a lightbulb in the form of a fish skeleton on top of his head, is because Frazzle belongs to Frozenfa, and fa is the one with all the great ideas!!!!!!!!! Becoz of teamwork, Frazzle and Basil were able to stash away a heap of yummy fish for dinner, and you can tell by the looks of them, that they are both very well fed!!! ahhhh, teamwork!!!

Did this pencil drawing about.. umm.. 8yrs ago? bought the doll about.. umm.. more than 12yrs ago i think.. hehe.. n_n” i just saw this 1 doll.. alone on the shelf.. there’s no one like him.. just him alone.. sitting at the top shelf.. seemingly unwanted.. he wore a cute red overall with a blue shirt and red bow tie.. his hair is so soft.. and what captures me most is the tear drop on his face.. he was unique to me back then, cos never have i seen dolls looking so sad. it’s always the preppy cute girly doll doll.. so i fell in love with him.. and tried on draw him a few times.. i think this piece was my 3rd try.. =) ps: i didn’t mean to make his face seem flat.. but his eyes and nose is really just printed on instead of the usual eyeball in doll thingy..? n_n” Vector and Raster Prints: /
