dreams.

What did you want to be when you were a tiny tod?
I used to say Astronaut or a doctor around about primary school throughout, then around 12 until 16 i thought of the possibility of being a highway motorway police with super cool motorbike... or... a pilot? but then that dream was ruined a bit when found out i had to wear glasses! dang it!

I did do university... double major in architecture and art history... TOTALLY LOVED it! but somehow down the line, had to change major cos of finance and ended up with an interior design and technology diploma. ha! but NEVER ever dreamed to be a photographer.... interesting that.

I do know one thing though... whatever dreams i had, i knew i want to be someone who is significant. One to give love, hope, courage, dreams to others... and I thank God every single day for everything I am... in Him.

ps. meanwhile, here is the cutest little pilot you've ever seen! sigh... adorable!

fly fly away

ok. just a wee bit more from this session! i can't help it!!!!

there's a story behind these balloons... i did have a little tear in the back of my eyes... thanks Barb and Erin! xoxo

things i did in canberra

hello hello! many of you wondered what i did in Canberra and how come there's no photos posted on my blog about it. keep your pants on... here are some of the cute picsies i did... i got to shot this super cute little family (well, not so little when you have 3 gorgeous kiddies)!

yes, i went to the JinkyArt Workshop and totally went head over heels with the whole 3 days i was there. I fell in love with Barb and Erin from JinkyArt, also to the 11 other lovely photographer friends from across the globe! 9 of them are from all over Australia, 1 from the Philippines and 1... believe it or not, lives 3 minutes away from me! hahaha, yes Jamie, i'm talking about you!
Easily one of the best weekend I had in my life (beside marrying Jeremy weekend and the weekend I gave birth to Tave of course.) so thank you everyone for making it so memorable and lovely! xo

HELLOOOOOOO WORLD!

Happy birthday to me... happy birthday to me! I am one very loved girl... i do feel the love! thank you everyone who's messaged me today and commented me on my facebook! I'm so humbled and privileged to do life with you all... in any way shape or form!

One of my newest friend that I met last weekend took this pic of me on my half way mark! yes!!!! SURPRISE!!!! I am pregnant!!! Once again... hahaha.
Baby (technically #4) Stuart will arrive on this earth on early March next year!
yes yes... some of you already started to wonder whether or not i am having a baby or just simply getting abit too lazy to go to the gym. haha. well, no more secrets now! plus i think i do need to come clean since i can't hide my bump anymore.

Again... thank you for all your love, prayers and support! i do love u all. xo

things you do when you're tight.

Tight in the meaning of tight with your bestie... sorta thing.
again... one fine day (a week before a super rainny wedding) off we go scoping for a wedding location. And as usual, we do silly things... here are some things i'd share with you the silly things we do when we say to our hubby and bf... "we're working!" pfffftttt... you're right.....

*so we found a massive pad of clovers and thought Oh my goodness!!!! we so have to stop the car and take photos.... lol... such tourists / asian / weirdos...
* we even compared our shoes on it.
* told each other to look pretty and laughed at ourselves... even i looked hilarious on her blog (i told her that i looked like i crapped my camera out.) ok.... i am weird.
* play dead and have fun with the brand new fish eye lens she got from her oh la la boyfriend.
* she even catches light for me! bless her cotton socks off.

I'm leaving... on the Jetplane

I am leaving my family this weekend... ALONE in Canberra doing an oh la la photographer's retreat!!!!

Be back on Monday and hopefully will post all the yummy photos and hopefully all the mad skillz i'm gonna be learning throughout the weekend through my photos! aaaarggghhhh so exciting!
but now... I have to be patient and just wait in the blessed Canberra airport for the transfer man to come and pick me up and take me to my accommodation.

While you're reading this, you might want to check out the new Baby Bones new Summer clothing line. yes... i did experience and play with some studio lights... there's always a first for everything isn't it?! Be a "liking" fan while you're at it! My wonderful friend Jess is one awesome creative artsy fartsy mommy!

love you all!!!!!!!! peace out.

my little ballerina girl

As I'm writing this, I had a little chuckle and thought of the conversation between my dear friend Gemma and I tonight during bowling game. She came to the Gold Coast for a visit and some shopping with her 5 years hubby Tim (yay congratulations guys!) and she was complaining how slack I've gotten lately with my blog... especially with posting Tavé's photos etc. it's so true.........

Well well well... this is especially for you aunty Gemma. Hope you love your little cute ballerina girl doing her special plié for you! xo
