I was going to upload these on Friday night but got all nice and sleepy making dinner and feeding the cat. Its the start of another week again tomorrow but Im looking forward to it because its bringi...
The home where HC grew up. I have been there many times but this was the first time Ive thought to bring my camera. I think my favourite thing there has to be the vegetable patch in the garden. ...
Some leftovers from New Zealand. These are some of the very few shots I took in Christchurch. The top 2 were from my favourite shop, Infinite Definite at this amazing shopping outfit called Re:S...
I went back again shortly after this :)If you are in Singapore and you really like cakes, do check them out.
I seldom do book reviews but sometime back I received a lovely package with a photo book of one of my favourite Japanese photographers (Thank you B!), and I found it irresistible to take some shots t...
The last morning in Akaroa, we slept in, checked out late, before hitting the road again.But first, breakfast at The Stables Bar & Cafe.The outdoor seats were scattered among a garden of lavender...
Ranked #01 thing to do in Akaroa by the Lonely Planet Guide, its website said: "Absolutely no bus groups or tours please." We loved it.
A few of my favourites from Akaroa. Im not totally done with NZ yet, so Ill upload them on and off. Its a long weekend here and Ive been catching up on some shuteye, reading about why the Danes are s...
Its always great when good friends visit from abroad because you get to do all the things that you keep putting off otherwise.Like visiting new museums.Im seriously tired of local cafes that only loo...
Looking out from our cabin in Kaikoura.We saw quaint little shops operating from the front of homes as we walked to the town centre.The big fonts, the smell of used books, and all that wood. I loved ...
Back to the South Island. This time we went by the ferry and the train, just for a bit of variety before we pick up the car again.
On our last day in Wellington, we had breakfast at a nice little place near our hotel - Cafe Breton.At first I thought the french decor thing was just a theme.Until I overheard all the staff chatting...
To the cutest cat at Miramar who came running when called. You made our day :)
First day in Wellington. A bit of blue at last.It was Waitangi Day.The prominent Te Papa museum, good place to visit but I was surprised there werent more of them in Wellington compared to a lot of o...
Wake-up call in the rather inhumane hours of the morning. We were off to swipe our car for the plane.We felt like we were still asleep. Even the cows looked dreamy. Luckily it cleared up by mid...
Because we forget that they happen. The pilot was only twenty-one. We didnt notice him until we came right up to the waters edge. He had the eagles on very softly, I think he wanted to be alone....
An early good-morning in Te Anau. The destination was Milford Sound that day, the only fiord in NZ accessible by road.Short stopover for some takeaway subway. Rule number one of a road trip (to us at...
At the waters off the main town of Te Anau. We were waiting for the ferry after the glowworms. I dont know how to explain it but theres something about this rather-bluish, rather-gloomy kind of light...
I have been fascinated by alpacas for a really long time. I remembered seeing a photo of one for the first time, it looked to me like a childs drawing gone wrong, a child who somehow got his sheep an...
Breakfast by the beach, before setting off to Te Anau. This leg of the drive felt considerably different from the day before as we turned inland from the coast.
One of the nicest things about the Southern Scenic Route is that therere signs peppered all around to let you know if theres anything interesting going on. We didnt have time for everything on the le...
The Southern Scenic Route is an impossibly beautiful drive stretching from Dunedin to Queenstown. Its the main reason why we chose to tour the south island instead of the north.First, windows down an...
Oh St Clair, with your beautiful surfs and cafes.Dinner that day was at the Esplanade Restaurant. We found it by the beach and decided on it because of the view. Food was pretty good and HC loved his...
Itinerary for the day (from top):A little coffee for the time-difference. NZ is five hours ahead of us. The Olveston House. Its the old voyeur instinct, I love looking at other peoples homes. ...
I must confess. I have topped my personal record from here, I shot 21 rolls this time. As I think it will be slightly insane to sift through 750 photos and rearrange them thematically, I have decided...
She is with good friends now while we are in New Zealand, probably having a whale of a time playing with our friends cat.p.s.The good thing about having an otaku (read: geek) husband is that you dont...
I woke up to a cold and foggy Tokyo the day I was to leave. Snow fell in thick clumps, and according to the weather report, 17 days late this year. I had no plans before my afternoon coach to Narita ...
Lunch and a view at the Royal Park Shiodome.Surprises awaiting during a random stroll at Kagurazaka.Mugimaru 2 Cafe, with the softest manju, the cutest cats and the friendliest owner. I had a long ch...
A day out with Kiri-chan is always a real treat because she always knows the best places for a camera outing. This time was a trip to the Yokosuka Museum of Art where we took a long leisurely stroll ...
Ordinary everyday scenes from the recent Tokyo trip, but somehow I like them.Some happy news to share, HC and I will be flying off to New Zealand (middle earth !!!) next week for around 2 weeks. ...
