Shot these photos about 2 weeks ago when i fetched my parent to my sister’s house. As usual, i brought my gears and hunted for the flowers and bee at the backyard. I enjoyed my time shooting around the backyard there because i hardly found any friendly bee at my backyard. May be i need to do more gardening just to fill up my backyard with more plant and flowers to attract this tiny insect.

These few shots were captured using the RAW file format and i subsequently converted them into black and white. For me, black & white is always the best way to produce pleasing image that i like.

At the age of 3 months, Jerome starts to make lots of funny expression and sound whenever we play with him. He loves to stare at his cousins see them playing around. May be this little boy is just can’t wait to join them for the fun time.

I love this naughty face

I hardly have the chance to cook for my parent simply because my mum’s cooking is my dad’s only choice  for all these years. For the last few years, i believe the only chance for me to cook for my dad was during the last Chinese New Year Eve dinner as mum was in Brunei. That was an unforgettable experience for me as it took me about 2 days just to prepare dad’s favorite dishes. Frankly speaking, i believe dad still prefer to have mum to prepare for the dinner if it is possible.

Few weeks ago when my sister was back in Kuching, she suggested to have a simple dinner at my home as we hardly have the chance to dine together. Well, i don’t have 2 days to prepare for it just like the previous dinner. Every thing has to be very simply so i just dropped by the supermarket to get some vegetables for the salad, a spring chicken and some lamb shoulder for oven roast. It seen like very simple and easy that all dishes can be prepared earlier but i still end up  spent the whole afternoon in my kitchen just to get the food ready by the evening.

Once again, i have to admit that my cooking was not my dad’s taste. May be it is a bit disappointing that i can’t prepare an appetising dinner for my dad but i treasure the chance to cook for my parent. Even though it was really a tiring and mind exhausiting process but it is worth for me.

It was an early sunday morning with the diffused warm sunlight gently penetrating into the bedroom through the sliding door. Little Jerome woke up early to get his cloth changed then laying in his baby cot starring at the clear blue sky outside.

I saw calmness in his eye with the peaceful sight looking forward. For me that is something which is diminishing from most of us as we grow up. Take a breath and recall when was the last time that you found calmness and peacefulness in you eyes as you wake up.

Wish you have a nice weekend.
