my tenth of october

i spent my tenth of october at home with my family, just spending a normal sunday at home, relaxing and pretending work doesn't exists. at 6.10pm singapore time (10.10am gmt), i went outside my house and snapped a couple of shots with my goldenhalf of the house i have lived in for the past 17 years. it seems like a really long time when you write it down but i can still remember the first day we moved in, running around the big empty living room, generally getting into everybody's ways. i built forts with my brother in the bedroom and the garden, played badminton with the gate as a 'net', explored the neighbourhood on my bicycles, studied like crazy in my bedroom, and danced around like a mad thing to music blaring out of the windows.

so when the time came to deciding on a subject for such a significant date, a picture of my house just made the perfect sense. another reason why it's the perfect subject for me?





my house number is 10.

the night, rag day #6

rag day went on into the night with the official arrival of olympic flame in singapore for the youth olympic games. i switched my holga into bulb mode for the fireworks and hoped for the best. and i think they turned out pretty great! this is why i love lomography so much, it's pictures that aren't necessarily perfect that tells the true story.

the elephant and friends, rag day #5

Isn't the elephant beautiful? I absolutely love her to bits! From this angle, you can also see the brilliant methods they used to construct her. Her 'skin' is made of flattened cardboard and her tusks were covered with yakult/vitagen bottles. I love the little bird endornments as well. I believe quite of few them took it home that day.
