Photohunting: Glass

 see the picnic basket with the red plate?

Katie's wedding was held at Sanctuary Cove, on the Gold Coast. There were a lot of glass, and my brother Joseph joked they were diamonds.

After the wedding service, the bridal party went down to the garden for their photo shoot. We were upstairs having drinks and snacks. I took these photos through the glass windows. I also wanted to record them enjoying the picnic Elizabeth and I made for them, and the drinks Henry, Kalang and Kee Yong bought.

If you can't see the picnic basket, it is glass window's fault.

ABC : Letter R for ribbon candy, report, remark, research, reply, read

Went to Harbour town on Surfers paradise, these ribbons are a child's paradise.  For my save the world theme, it would be a nightmare for parents to drag a kid away without buying these.

Incidentally yesterday, a certain Mr. Roper made a comment on one of my blogs and remarked that I didn't research it and made a sweeping report. Unfortunately I could not reply his comment because he was not a blogger like you and me. He did however have a hyperlink and I wrote to the corporation. They denied he was an employee.

http://annkitsuet-chinchan.blogspot.co.nz/2013/04/save-world-sugar-cane.html Dear Group STI, A Mr. Buss Roper posted this comment below on my blog with a hyperlink to you, I presume he is an employee of yours. I am bemused by his comment. No where in my post did I say, " that sugar leads to any disease, even obesity." On the contrary, my family is into growing sugar canes for part of the income." If Mr. Roper had read carefully, he would have read that in Malaysia and Singapore, people consume a lot of fresh sugar cane juice. Once it was suspected that the canes were left standing on the market stall floor. The fibrous/porous cane sucked up the water and detergent when the cleaners cleaned the stalls in the evening. This practice is still done in Malaysia. In Singapore, this practice is stopped, and canes are cut into manageable lengths and left on the counter. Mr Roper doesn't not allow me to direct my reply, so I am sending this to you.

Weekend Reflection: Houses of the rich.

When my younger brother Joseph was born,
It was the day the Kitchen God went up to Heaven.
The Kitchen God was rich and had plenty to eat.
Everyone has to be good to him,
For he reports to the Heavenly King,
All that the family had done for the year.

Joseph was our Little Kitchen God.
Joseph was born in a brick house.
Grandfather Chan said, "Joseph is going to be a rich man."
His prediction came true.

My first week in Australia,
I stayed with Joseph and Audrey.
The Little Kitchern had done good.
I took this photo standing on his private jetty.
The private lake and the private island were perfect for my theme.

The Lashop:Photography and lighting

Family Portraits Never Looked Better
The gang and I, and by that I mean the wife and my two kids, were out and about on a beautiful Saturday morning not too long ago. We were out shopping. It’s sort of our favorite pastime because I can stroll around and look at my phone and follow my fantasy baseball teams while my wife takes the kids into the box stores to find cheap clothing – we get cheap clothing because they just dirty it up and rip it all up anyway, so don’t judge. Well, we were in the mall, and I was minding my own business, when my wife decides that today would be a perfect day for a family portrait. Now I hadn’t had a hair cut in some time, and I certainly didn’t shower that morning, but when the wife gets a notion in her head there’s no steering away from it. So we went to the photo area of the department store, I couldn’t believe that still existed, and we got set up. There were using an interesting looking lighting kit, and they got the photo backgrounds set up so we could have our choice. I was more interested in the gear they were using than in the photo, which is just fine because my opinion about the photos themselves would surely go unheeded. After the shot, where I tried to look as happy as I could, I asked the employees what kind of equipment they were using. They told me they’d gotten most of their equipment at thelashop.com for relatively inexpensive. Well, the photos came out pretty good, so now it’s my job to find someone who will frame them for us so we can hang them on the walls leading up from the front door up to the second floor of the house. Everyone knows that’s where you’re supposed to hang such photos, so that everyone can see your family.
