week 8

Celebrated my wife's belated birthday (5th March) and my early birthday (9th March) at Todamgol, a Korean traditional Restaurant. It was a surprise for my wife, as she thought it was just to celebrate mine. I picked the place not just because of the great reviews, but one of the dishes they have in their menu, it's called Jjimdak. It was my wife's favourite food during our last visit to Seoul. I've tried to find a place that offers this dish, but to no avail... until I dug into the street of Tanjong Pagar.

"Andong jjimdak is a variety of jjim (a Korean steamed or boiled dish), which originated in the city of Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province and is made with chicken, various vegetables marinated in a ganjang (Korean soy sauce) based sauce. The name literally means "steamed chicken of Andong." -Wikipedia

The ambient of the place is very good, decoration is just amazing, and we both had one of the best night of our live.

week 9

Finally a proper portrait for my beloved Fujifilm X-T1! Lately a fellow member shared a simple tutorial from petapixel, so I gave it a shot and this's the outcome! I know it's not perfect, but damn it looks way better than my previous shots!

Dance with feeling... by ah.b|ack's s6nse, on Flickr


Fujifilm X-T1 + Mitakon Lens Turbo + Helios 44-2


After went through weeks and look back, I feel like something isn't right with this AWAP. It seems like I've been doing it with "quantity" instead of "quality"... So I've decided starting from this week onward, this will be a truly A PHOTO A WEEK, instead of AT LEAST A PHOTO A WEEK... Only 1 photo will be selected from all the shots taken through out the week and be posted here!

Thank you all who've been visiting and supporting this thread. I shall work harder to make this a better thread!​
