Temple Run iPhone and iPad App

Temple run is the new game that we are so addicted to play now. I find myself playing this game even when I’m standing in the train on my way to work.

Temple Run is created by Imangi Studios. The whole concept of the game is to run a maze in a temples collecting coins and avoiding the cliffs and pot holes along the way. It’s a free iPhone and iPad App that’s worth trying! I can’t help but shout at times when I fall off or if I jumped wrongly.

I like this game!

Instant Kiddie Photo Shoot

If I was given the chance and talent, I’d like to be a “kid” photographer. I love kids! I’m not that sure if they love me, but I love them. Taking photos of kids is very natural They’ll do whatever pose you suggest and they’ll so it with no inhibitions and pretensions.They’re natural models because any kid will look good in any background.

So, when I had the chance, I took photos of the 2 kids that I’m always with here in Singapore, Yuan and Chloe.

I know I need a lot more of practice in taking photos of kids. And I will definitely focus on this when I get the time.

Thanks to Yuan and Chloe for being such cute models and to Doms for helping me edit their photos in Photoshop.

Showing Off My Canon 1100D

I can’t believe that I’ve been lagging on my blog posts. It’s been 2 months since Doms bought me my shiny new toy for my birthday and I still don’t have a blog post about it. Good thing I have nothing much to do today so here it is.

I’ve been telling Doms that I like my own DSLR. I want to have my own gear since we are planning a lot of travels and places to go. So for my 28th birthday, (and before our Sydney trip), Doms bought me a Canon 1100D DSLR camera. I love it because it’s red!

I really don’t have a wide range of knowledge about cameras so I wouldn’t know anything about it. I just learned that my Canon 1100 D camera is a 12 mega-pixel entry level camera when we were buying it. It’s specs include:

  • 12MP CMOS sensor
  • 9-point AF system (up from 7 on the 1000D)
  • 63-area iFCL color-sensitive metering (from EOS 7D)
  • 720p movie recording at 30 or 25fps (H.264 compression)
  • 2.7″ LCD, 230,000 dots
  • ISO 100-6400 (no expansion)
  • Basic+ creative point-and-shoot mode
  • Eye-Fi wireless SD card compatible menu options

We got a good deal when we bought my camera in Funan Digital Centre. The package costs 780 SGD which includes an 8 GB memory card, Canon Camera Bag and Canon strap. If you buy this same camera in Canon Stores in malls, it will cost 899 SGD.

I super love my camera! Thank you to my loving husband for getting me this camera! I was able to take pictures of the different place we’ve been to in Sydney.
