How good are you at differentiating colors?

I came across this test in other blogger's entry. This is quite a good test, or game if you would call it~

What we need to do is to sort the color blocks in between according to the first and last color block. Eyes are a bit tired after finishing the first two rows but I think it worths a try! :D:D
Click here to do the test!

I have done the test twice with score 36 the first time and 26 the second trial (the lower the better). This are what I've got :D:D

I don't think I do very well compare to my age group's average, maybe I need to practice my eyes a bit more or try the test again on a different computer hehe~

A Bonus Walk in The Park

It is a luxury to have a walk in the park since school has started. Either being too tired after school or just being too lazy to take a walk, especially after my doggie Lele has gone. I am so thankful that we have a Reading week in the middle of every semester, to take some time out to do something relaxing!

The humidity in the air announce the arrival of Spring, fresh and green grass and beautiful flowers can be seen everywhere. I like the fresh air in the park, so comfortable walking there.

It is a surprise for me to see TVB is filimg a new series in the Chinese style area in the park. Although this is not the first time I see them there, this time with my camera with me, it will definitely be an extra hour in the park! LoL I am not a TV-worm myself but according to the other visitors in the park, they are filming "公主嫁到". These two are my favourite ones, they looked at the camera!! :D:D

Their costoms are really beautiful! However in such a hot and humid weather yesterday, I don't think it's fun to wear those clothes for half a day :P:P

It's fun to see how they film the series, em...I am curious to see how it actually looks like on TV. :):)P.S. I am trying my very best to wake up early in the morning to have a morning walk...hopefully I can achieve this tomorrow maybe?

Be Well!

The Other Side of Chauses by Cherry & Kelvin

As promise :D:D here are two of the ones I really like from yesterday's photo shoot by Cherry and Kelvin, I might upload other bigger head ones on my fb later when I have more time to look at them all :D:D

Why would I suddently want to have this sort of pictures of my own? Maybe I watched and read too much twilight LoL just kidding. I always think that there are many other sides of me deep inside, but either I just don't know what those sides are, or that I don't know how to express them.

This series of picture is about mask. Makeup is a kind of mask to me. Friends, if you have noticed, I almost never wear any makeups in my everyday life, even if I have to go for formal dinners or other formal occasions, I just put on lip sticks at most usually. The fact that I don't like to wear makeups is because I just don't look like me anymore afterwards, and I don't like that. I like the original me, the face I was given when when I was born. Well, another reason is that I am not good at makeup LoL and it's quite time consuming to put them on and off. Why put on so much chemicals on the face? After I have put on the makeup, I don't know the person in the mirror.

In this set of photos, I was trying to put on a cold face, dark eyes and red lips, black clothing, red assessories, red nails. That was indeed inspired by twilight sega and a little bit of gothic style. Red and black are elegant partners. The red symbolizes the warm side and passion inside me, while the black clothing somehow symbolizes the cold apearance I was trying to give in front of people sometimes. Not much smiling symbolizes my don't-like-to-show-my-emotion-publicly often. Indeed I love to smile, and I am so attracted to people who smile always. I feel light and happy around them. The old building kind of represents some old-fashion thinkings of mine. I do admit I am quite rigid and stubborn sometimes. :P:P

I quite like this look of me. What do you think? :D:D

Be Well!

P.S. just a thought, do you think the left one is kind of giving the feeling of"Welcome to the house" ? LoL

Passion for Indian Food

Thanks to Cherry who brought me to O cafe and introduced me to this delicious tea set there :D:DI always loved indian dishes, curry puff, masala tea, naan, and more curry!

This tea set includes green salad, curry puff and masala tea!
They are all so delicious and I just have to emphasize once more that I love masala tea! :D:D

When the mid-semester approaced, we hardly have time to relax. Assignments, presentations, projects are queuing up. I am glad that I work with awesome people in all subjects from the very first semester I entered the school, and quite a number of these groupmates becomes very close friends of mine afterwards, which is very rewarding to me. I am not a socializing expert, and it takes me a while to warm up before starting a friendship, that's why I like people who tells me lots of stories of their own, or keep asking me questions :P:P If you know me better maybe you will find me not as quiet and cold as I appear :P:P

That is it for now, I guess I should sleep. (thanks to the evening nap today I really don't feel like sleeping now =_= sigh, I shouldn't have slept in the evening =_=)

I am feeling so excited about tomorrow because I will be taking picture on campus! I promise to share some good ones later on(if there's any LoL)!

Be well!

Cute Cats

Taken in a Cat Cafe in Hong Kong, 2008.

"What kind of animal do you like?" is the question asked by people around me since I was small :). In fact I like so many of them that I don't really know where to start my answer :P To make the answer simplier...I like almost any animals that have 4 feets on the ground, fluffy, with a tail.

I like cats too, but not as much as dogs, maybe due to the fact that I lack the experience of keeping a cat in the past. To me, dogs are more passionate and being able to show more facial expression.

Taken in China, 2009.

I watched 'The Shot' yesterday when I couldn't really sleep, there's one phrase that I found very true about photography: "you have only one picture to tell the whole story." This is what I am trying to do lately, to think of a theme and a story when I am taking photos, not just random shots, cz without a theme, the picture seems meaninless. But how I can achieve this? I have no idea yet, I will keep trying :)

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Today is also Valentine's Day, may I wish you all a sweet valentine's day too^^

Love is all around
Love never fails

祝大家新年進步^^

Isn't she pretty?

新的一年又到了, 祝大家在虎年開開心心, 身體健康!
Wish everyone happiness and health in the year of tiger!

Such a pretty face!

Tiger, my favourite wildlife animal, process strong muscle and sharp teeth about our index finger's length, two to three fingers' width. In the zoo, however, they are just like cute big cats :):)

Isn't she cute?
I wish I could take photo of this beautiful animal whole day, everyday, I would never get tired I am sure...haha!
These beauties are from Dreamworld, Australia.

Pre-Flower Project Experiment

Finally have some more time to myself! :):) Just started my CNY holiday! In this holiday I will try my very best to backup the photography work in the past as well as shooting more photos. :):) I have been motivating myself to keep my photography work going on a regular basis...so from now on I will do a little monthly project for leisure purpose! I chose flowers, particularly Lily and Calla Lily as the subjects I will shoot for my first little project. However the flowers lately are quite expensive due to CNY, so I picked up some flowers fallen off the tree from the park nearby to do a little experiment before I really start working on Lilies~

I set up my little "studio corner" to shoot this flower yesterday, no professional tools to begin with...just my beloved camera and the very solid tripod. Got to be creative when we don't have much money to buy those equipments right? haha
What I've used is just a big piece of black cloth, and some clips LoL, I tried to use a crappy USB light and iPod touch to brighten it a little, but it turns out quite unnatural. Sun light is always the best friend of flowers.

There are quite a lot of improvements to be made next time such as relocation my little "studio", the clips and the supporting materials.

I don't really like to retouch photos unless it's really necessary, maybe I am just lazy :P:P

Thanks for reading and be well :):)

Love at first sight

Do you have the experience of love at first sight? Let me share a little secret with you: love at first sight happens to me every time I come across a cute doggie (well...every one of them are cute to me :p).

Yesterday I met Yummy, a 10-year-old female schnauzer. She is a very cheerful sweetheart when she goes for a walk, just like my dear LeLe when he was young :)

Why am I a crazy dog lover? They feel happy and satisfied easily, loyal and protective toward their keeper. 'If you give them your heart, they will give you theirs...' from 'Marley and me'. Isn't this kind of character appealing? Maybe we should learn from them in order to lead a happier life.

With the year of tiger coming, I wish everyone a happy and healthy year :):) Be well!

Water Lily By Chauses

Water Lily By Chauses，原由 Chauses 上載。

so I didn't update this blog for quite a while, and after reading an article from bubbi I realize I got to wake up too to realize my dreams. After these few days of busy work at school I am gonna to start all over again to plan and to set my goals for my dreams :) I am sure my passion for cooking, crochet, handcraft and photography will take me somewhere I enjoy in the future. I hope what I share here will attract some people who share the same values. Let's work hard to realize our goals together :)

From bubbi:
"You don't have to be rich to be successful. As long as you are happy, you will be mentally rich. You can be a bin man and be the best bin man there ever was. Where does your passion take you? I spent too many years listening to ppl telling me what to do and what not. I only intend to walk in Earth once so somebody tries to stop your tracks? Tell them no and don't listen. If your soul is really strong willed, you will find your own way to make things happen. If you believe in yourself, dont jus sit n wait. As my friend says, to make dreams come true; you gotta wake up. "

Thanks for inspiring me :)
