SEEING DOUBLE
Twins are mysterious and thus fascinating. I fare badly at guessing who's who in regard to the few twins I know in life. This level of difficulty intensifies when parents give them similar names. It doesn't help when twins have similar tastes in clothing and especially hair styles. Nonetheless, each is distinctly an individual and bears the ability to achieve each's destiny in life. Here's to seeing double.

PRO MONO
It has been over a year since I dropped colour for monochrome. Can't say I regret it but I do find myself looking over my shoulders several times. Peers expressed surprise every time I explained that my camera doesn't take colour photos. It's intentional and I take pride in that. The joy of monochrome is in the light. No hues, just brightness and contrast. This simplifies my visual perception, and helps me focus better on people, my emphasis. The journey has been great so far. Many more lessons to learn. Don't think I'll be going back to colour anytime soon.

PACKER
Getting ready for his day. Don't you agree that humans are such great packers? We invented luggages and wheelers such as this one to help us carry more. Still, the number one rule is: the more you pack, the more will you unpack. I'm always reminded that life is a journey, pack light.

CARPE DIEM 
My mom's passing brought me back to the neighbourhood she used to roam. I'm very thankful to the company in this community that kept her active all these years until the point she fell sick. My still saddened mood was cheered up by this little bundle of joy. I noted the significance that while a life has expired, new ones, like this little gorgeous, have just begun. I asked her dad if it was alright to take a photo. After permission was granted, princess responded to my camera with her idea of a smile. It was the cutest thing! The cycle of life embodies everyone. I'm reminded to seize the moments that'll make up mine. Carpe diem.

Singapore began her quest to be a Garden City as early as 1963. Since then, we have been very intentional to include greenery as part of our landscape. Look how far we've come! This is a scene of a typical heartland's street, in Hougang, where trees and plants are common features. It's no wonder we've progressed from the status of a Garden City to a City in a Garden. Proud to be here.

PERCEPTION
To get this shot, I angled my camera low, attempting to capture this boy at his eye level. At his height, the world seems like a bigger place. I remembered driving pass my primary school the other day. The assembly square which was enormously spacious in my memory looked really small now. The fact is, the physical world doesn't change but our perception does. If we can manage our perception, we can manage change.

I'LL WAIT
Who's keeping princess waiting? To wait is life and I've learned it requires humility. Our modern lifestyle is punctuated with lingo such as instant, urgent and ASAP. Patience, which is synonymous with waiting, is a much overlooked virtue. Still, it's not good to keep a princess waiting.

BACK IN TIME
I imagined that a middle-age woman entered a time warp from the back end of this set and gradually became younger as she proceeded to the point in the foreground where I took this photo. Seriously, what'll you change if you've the chance to go back in time? In the movie "13 Going On 30", the main character Jenna Rink asked her mom the same question. "I wouldn't change a thing" was the answer. Wow, what a life she must have lived! Then again, it's all Hollywood. But if I'm really given that chance, I would've taken better care of my teeth.
