As we go into the weekend, I’d like to offer something light to consider.<\/p>\n
as saturday and sunday approach, inevitably the thoughts of what it’d be like to go on a holiday would naturally come to me.<\/p>\n
to me photographs have always spoken more than a thousand words.
\nmaybe even a million.<\/p>\n
and photography has been more than just a hobby for.
\nit’s a way of capturing memories and maybe even a time machine, allowing me to go back months, years and even decades back to a time when i was experiencing a certain emotion, whether it was happiness, contemplation, or even sadness.<\/p>\n
here are 4 photographs from my collection.<\/p>\n
Bali Literally it was just the five of us, David Lim, Pam, her friend, my wife and myself. Our friends Ber Luen and Gwen had come separately and we met up for a beautiful seafood dinner at Jimbaran, next to the beach.<\/p>\n This photo was shot at sunset at Jimbaran.<\/p>\n I’m not sure which was the most enjoyable: the food, the beautiful skyscape or the pleasure of well-loved friends and family.<\/p>\n perhaps the mixture of all three fills me with a rush of joy, contentment and serenity when I look at this photograph.<\/p>\n Greece, being a collection of several hundred islands, is an idyllic country with landscapes having a picturebook quality.<\/p>\n i’ve always wondered how it’d be like to live in a village like this.<\/p>\n sure it looks tranquil and calm, i’m sure i’ll get bored out of my brains within a few weeks though!<\/p>\n

\nThis was when we went to Bali about 2 years ago (about 2003). This was right after the Bali bombings, and it was a surreal experience to be on one of the world’s most beautiful beaches and have the beach to yourself.<\/p>\n

\nGreece, ocean waterfront
\nThe photograph was shot during our honeymoon to Greece and Turkey about 2 years ago.<\/p>\n
