It has been months since I stepped into a professional studio. It was a hard decision but we made sure that SOP was tight to reduce any risks. I must say it feels great not having to set up my own lighting, press the record button and wait for the timer count down! 😆 What was this shoot for? Stay tuned. Something big is on the way! 😍
I get asked this question a lot, but I didn’t go to school for art or photography. Although photography’s always been something I loved, it started as a passion project. I would post all my work on Tumblr and Flickr (anyone else?) and spend hours and hours browsing others' work as well.
I was in my high school photography team (where I met my partner, Tim, who was then the director of the team), covering school events and all. Back then, DSLRs were expensive, a real investment just for a hobby. As my interest grew, my dad bought me my first camera and I will forever be grateful for his support. This “hobby” continued throughout my university years. I would photograph for modelling agencies, fashion brands, friends, events and celebrations, and sometimes just for the fun of it.
One day, I had a sudden thought that I wanted to be a photographer, for real. And from then on I never looked back. I poured everything and all my time into growing my business- constantly learning, refining my craft, practising how to shoot in any and every type of situation and lighting, etc. It’s been full of ups and downs, but gosh I still can’t imagine doing anything else other than this.
It’s been close to a decade now since I ventured into photography. I owe it all to my dad and Tim for their endless support throughout my journey. Now I’ll give myself some credit too—I’ve learned to constantly grow and adapt in this ever-changing industry. Running a photography business is hard work. I’ve learned what it means to have conviction, to be unrelenting, and have the determination to reach my goals despite all else. I’m only just getting started! ✨
After I posted on my leave plans on Sunday, a few of you asked what was on my reading list, so I am sharing some books I have read / am reading / or hope to read. Three of the books are available from the National Library Singapore. Do check out the NLB app (iOS: https://go.gov.sg/moiqhc | Android: https://go.gov.sg/hu17bc). It is a marvellous resource, and you will definitely be able to discover many books to suit your interests.
[ Nuclear Folly, a History of the Cuban Missile Crisis
by Serhii Plokhy ]
The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. I had read "13 Days", the short memoir by Robert Kennedy about it as a teenager, and later Graham Allison's "Essence of Decision", a seminal study using the Crisis to analyse decision making from different perspectives. Both were mainly based on US records. Plokhy's book draws on Soviet archives, to present events from both the US and Soviet points of view. Many mistakes were made on both sides. The saving grace was that both President John Kennedy and General Secretary Nikita Khrushchev desperately wanted to avoid a nuclear war. But even then the two sides avoided a nuclear exchange only by a hair’s breadth, and only by chance, because events once set in motion were no longer entirely within the two leaders' control. A gripping read.
[ The Bilingual Brain, and what it tells us about the science of language
by Albert Costa ]
Having learnt several languages myself, and grappled with our bilingualism policy in schools, this book was a natural choice. I am still reading it. Did you know that a newborn infant already recognises and prefers the language (or languages) which their mother spoke while they were in her womb, and within hours of birth can also distinguish between two different languages that they have never heard before? Infants pick up a language (or two) naturally in their first years, but learning a second or third language later in life is much harder. This book explains why.
[ Capturing Light, the Heart of Photography
by Michael Freeman ]
A book about the different sorts of light, how they influence the photo you take, and how to use them to create the effect and mood that you want. Photographers know about the golden hour and blue hour, hard light and soft light, direct and indirect lighting, front and back lighting, haze, mist and fog, and so many more variations. The book includes lots of the author’s photos illustrating his points, taken over many years. Hope to pick up something from reading it. But the key in photography (as in so many other skills) is to practise and practise, if you want to improve.
[ Bettering Humanomics, A New, and Old, Approach to Economic Science
by Deidre Nansen McCloskey ]
The author, a distinguished economist, argues that economics is not just about incentives and institutions, mathematical models and observed behaviour. It should take a broader, more humanistic approach, paying attention to ethics and values, “what people believe, and the stories they tell one another”, as one reviewer put it. Certainly in government we must think about these broader factors all the time, while making sure we get the economics right. Not just in trade and industry or finance, but also in national development, education, health, manpower, sustainability and the environment, social and family development, and so much of public policy. I haven't read this book yet, but saw an enthusiastic book review, and look forward to reading the book itself.
Happy reading! – LHL

Finally! We done 95% of our #shengyixtziahome Reno, there’s still corners that are work-in-progress. However, we thought, we should do the house tour video now, and slowly work on the remaining 5%, where we might or might not do another YouTube video, but would definitely share it on our Instagram. So stay tune.
This house was the effect of MCO I would say, if it wasn’t because of us being forced to stay home for such a long period of time last year, we might not thought of moving because we were so used to working outside, and home was just a place for us to sleep in after a long day. We never really put it thoughts about moving in to a bigger space, and possibly the next stage of life.
Back to what has already done for #shengyixtziahome thus far... I just want to say, I’m so proud of us! Hard work paid off, when we finally got this house that is comfortable enough for us to stay in the entire day, and a place we can finally host our family & friends for drinks & dinner. Yay!
We are just really HAPPY in this space, that is just so #shengyixtzia. Hahah.

【Lyrics】
この先の人生を考えるだけで
終わる日々にさえ
憂鬱を感じて 内側を苦しめ
他人の幸せと比べ勝手に焦ってる
踏み出し逃げてはまた後悔
誰かにパス 諦めた将来
冷めずに居て、君の想いよ
理想の君を夢見たあの日を
気を配れる君は謙虚で美しいんだ
傷だらけの君は誰より強いんだ
ねぇ、本当は知っているんだよ
増す鼓動と君の熱さを
死にたくなる日も
希望が一瞬で飛んだ日も
消えるまでは糧になる
自分を誇ればいいよ
誰が君を馬鹿にしても
僕は君を認めてるよ
やり足らない事
だらけでしょう？頬を撫で
信じきれないあの日さえ
受け止めなければならない
あの人はあの空に
君の心と共に
貴方は貴方だ
比べなくたっていい
もっと自分に酔って
楽しんでいけばいい
さあ、愛を繋ぎ回すよ
何処かで独りの君へと
自分の色で塗り潰そう。
【Lyrics】
ずっと自分が嫌いで
イラついて痛み付ける
ここぞという時
意見 言えないで
自信を失っていく
Day by day
あの日憧れたあの人のように
輝けやしない もういい！
「どうせ結ばれないし」
「本当は目立ちたい」
夢も大きかった子供の頃も
もう嘘のような時間だ
いつも口だけ達者なまま終了
辛さも隠していたんだ
でももう必要ない恐怖心
この音の雲に乗り
今は適当に笑おう
生ける所まで。
そうこの世に僕らは
泣きながら生まれた
だからこそ最期は
笑って終わるのさ
目指してた目標が
消えても色んな
貴方に成れるから
もっとラフに
走ればいいから
そうこの世に僕らは
一人しか居ないから
頑張る君自身を
愛してあげるのさ
絶つ程の勇気を
幸せな人生へ
ねぇ、側に居るから
自由に生きてもいいから
