It’s a beautiful feeling.
The rays of sunshine, the gust of cold wind in the morning,
the sound of leaves rustling.
Most of all, simply feeling alive. Life should be simple as that.

Slowly, a smile blossomed with a tint of shyness.
Deep in her haunting eyes, lies an innocence so pure.
“One day, I’ll see the world,” she says.

Going through transitions. In search of one’s self.

days of my life and titbits cc on 07 Jul 2008
Someone has developed an addiction lately. It’s not sweet, animated nor flashy. However, it does make you jump up and down and at times lasts till night; only to emerge with a look to die for the next morning.
Yes, we finally succumbed to the temptation and now have unlimited access to discover and gain historical knowledge or learn to be dramatic. Evil has one word, SKYtv. Now I’ve fallen down into the dark hole of addiction. Will be back as soon as I watch my favourite show on Discovery channel over and over and over again.
Took some photos again during the weekend. Check back soon!

Took the new camera for a test shoot last Sunday. The weather here has been very gloomy and stormy lately, strong winds along with showers and hails. The long-awaited sun finally came out in the afternoon, albeit for a short moment. We decided to try our luck at the Auckland Domain. It was a fun afternoon filled with laughters (mainly came from you-know-who).
Opened in 1840, Auckland Domain is the city’s oldest park. Situated in the city central, here you’d find the prominent Auckland Museum building and a heritage-protected winter gardens with temperate and tropical plants. There are also a few rugby fields and cricket grounds where you’ll find school boys training in warmer days.
I’ll just cut my rambling and let you feast your eyes on the lush wonderland.
Have a great weekend!
(as usual, you can click on the photos to enlarge them. )
Contrary to popular belief, this is not rambutan, it is a type of winter flower. It grows on the tree in the third photo.
See the rugby fields(with white poles) in the distance? This is a hardcore rugby crazed nation. Auckland Domain is also the location for the annual
Christmas in The Park.

A photo taken in 2003, in a car on the way back to Auckland. Using my crusty old Olympus 3.5 mega pixel digicam, my first point-and-shoot. Not bad quality eh?!
When thank you seems to fall short
What if you have someone in your life who will always be there for your?
What if they stick with you even at times you shut them out?
What if they will do anything for you at a drop of a hat?
What if you feel so appreciative that words fail to express the emotions?
What if thank you just seems to be such an empty word?
Ecstaticism came in a form of a cool black casing mechanism that is Nikon D80 this winter. An early birthday gift from my loved ones. Happy is not enough to describe the waves of emotions I’m feeling right now. Thank you so much! I am truly overwhelmed.
I’ve been using the good old Sony Cybershot T30 for quite a while. While it is a good little point-and-shoot camera, it is just not able to take those money shots. I’ll make sure to deliver some great photos and try to make full use of my new gadget from now on! The party is on! 
A charming old maritime village
Here are some photos taken at Devonport back in the summer. Devonport is a maritime village with lots of old time charms. A very relaxing town located in Auckland North Shore, it houses some unique shops, cafes and old character homes. The charming old town with rich heritage has a very nostalgic feeling to it. There are also three volcanoes situated here. This is one of the best places that offers a spectacular view of Auckland city in my opinion. Great place to hang out on a hot summer day. Devonport is just a 10 minutes ferry ride away from downtown Auckland, or alternately a half an hour drive from Auckland central.
The iconic Esplanade Hotel on the waterfront. It was built in 1903.
The breathtaking view of Auckland city and harbour bridge from Mt Victoria.
Clock tower on waterfront.
A fish boat docked at the pier.
View of Auckland city from the pier.
Many people would come here to fish on a summer day. I wonder what type of fishes they get here.
