Weird shot I think... watched a Taiwanese talk show the other day on how these "blog beauties" took their own pictures for their blogs. They were even providing tips on how to take good "self portraits" and I must say, some photos were not half bad! So, inspired by them, I too decided to take a family portrait this morning at East Coast. Terence wanted to take the picture of Gideon and I but I promptly said "No", much to his amusement...
These pictures actually are not too bad ... close up shots are nice ! Except the close up shots will be good if they are taken by someone else and not yourself ya ;-)
By the way, Philo's close up shot on the left picture reminds me of a cartoon character. *hee hee* .....
My new-found hobby - that's what this is all about. In dedication to my son, husband, great friends and family; a journal sharing wonderful memories with those who chance upon this blog as well as those whom I have forced to visit... ENJOY!
"Perfect Strangers" by Robyn Sisman - 2 strangers who've never met fall in love tbrough an unusual twist of fate. Working for the same ad agency, an exchange programme of sorts saw them swap homes. Suze, a typical Londoner found herself in New York while Lloyd, a suave New York Creative Director took over Suze's apartment in London. A great read on the train on your way to the office. Gives a pretty accurate picture of office politics and how is it some people get where they are even though you're convinced they have "nothing up there".
"The Hotel On The Roof Of The World" by Alec Le Sueur - a book all hoteliers can easily identify with. Alec spent five years at the Holiday Inn in Tibet after an impulsive decision during an interview. The story is likened to Fawlty Towers; hilarious yet very real. Perpetual disagreements between F&B and Kitchen; strange GMs and odd staff culture all rolled into one at this Lhasa hotel. If you're searching for this book, look under "Travel".
"Who Moved My Blackberry" by Martin Lukes - a hilarious look at office politics told entirely through Martin's (a Director of Marketing) blackberry messages, emails and SMS(es).
"Everyone Worth Knowing" by Lauren Weisenberger (author of The Devil Wears Prada) - a delightful read especially for the PR person. About a gal who moved from banking and enters New York's chic, party-planning circle.
"From Altoids to Zima" by Evan Morris - Surprising stories behind Famous brand names like Motorola, Lego and Yahoo.
"How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere" by Larry King - great advice if you find yourself tongue tied during any occasion.
"The Bad Mother's Handbook" by Kate Long - for the working mother who thinks her world is turning upside down; take heart.
