<span style="font-size: x-small;">Hey readers! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I apologise I haven't blogged in a horribly long time. Um but I haven't returned with any photoshoots either (not that it matters all that crucially). I get kind of rant-y whenever I blog, like it's just my babble and stuff so just take it as if I'm ranting to you. Well, how has life been to you lately? I've had a pretty conflicting week so far, but it's been interesting and thought-provoking. But my conclusions are as thus far: <i>I need to decide who I am. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">No one's perfect, but still, I consider it relatively astonishing that after 18 years of my life I've yet to resolve my identity. Sure, I can always go back to the root of it all: child of God, loved and cherished by Him, yet something has yet to click in between to bridge my identity gap. Sometimes, I don't even think I know myself very well at all, and I'd like to just take someone who might somehow know me from the inside out to tell me what I'm like or who I am. You know, something to define me. I've got a deficit - a lack of a dream, passion and drive; I witness these values in the least expected places/people, where so unsuspectingly, the unobserved success stories slip past.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I've been thinking. I've been <b>relative</b>, not <b>abs</b><b>olute</b>. Well, not in my moral system (it must stay intact), but in terms of my passion and drive. Be it in dance, music or fashion, I can't cleanly say that none of them have been tinted and tainted with the desire to be recognised by others. Well, recognition is not exclusive to our affection for our sport, but the question I've been bouncing off the walls of mind is this: without the applause, without the acknowledgment, would you still do it? Would you still continue with this thing you call your passion and your love? </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">That, for me, is where someone's drive lies: it's intrinsic. It's absolute instead of relative to let's say, other's persuasion or dissuasion. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">But what if my very passion is aggrandised by the salute received? Perhaps none of those three things are my root passion; rather, they are mere manifestations symptomatic of my root passion - the sprouts of my buried genesis. Even as I pen this (or rather jab at the keyboard), I think I've just been reminded that my root passion could actually be the love of performing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">And that comes with its horde of concerns and considerations.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">How do I even begin to dissect that???</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">For now, <i>I think</i> I think too much; raising way too many questions with too few answers. [Disclaimer: I love to play with my words, it does not always mean that I'm convoluting my thinking.]</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Hey readers!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">So whether or not you're living in my area of the world, I'm sure you'd have heard it's the Lunar New Year. Just saying, I'm perfectly happy to be chinese, although I do admit sometimes I forget that I'm chinese (I mean, speaking English pretty much 24/7 and having lost touch with the language since a year ago). Chinese New Year, or as I will affectionately term it, CNY, is one of the most awesome occasions/holidays ever, especially because of the <i>food</i>. Pineapple tarts, bak kwa, roasted cashews, salted egg butter cookies, tapioca chips etc. Oh drools. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Anyway, this year I've done something different for my CNY; it's what I'd like to claim as vintage reclamation. So last year end I went for a short trip to Japan and had a haul of vintage stuff from the thrift store there, one of the pieces being a midi (or maxi for the uh petite ones) dress with a bishop raglan sleeve. I tried it on and it felt so old, both literally and in terms of the age at which someone might be seen wearing it, so when I brought it back I knew I wanted to edit it somehow cause after all I really liked the print and the colour. And not to mention, I have a terrible habit of not wanting to take a photo of the original piece whenever I do DIY-ing, so here are pictures to show the piece now at least :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Yes, photoshoot time.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I particularly loved the styling for this outfit as it seemed to all just fall into place nicely, although it's probably ironic that for a CNY outfit I'm taking on a vintage style since people usually anticipate and love buying their new clothes just for the Lunar New Year. Doesn't matter to me really, DIY-ing makes my clothes re-newed + perfectly unique => fabulous, as summed up by my first picture.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Honestly, the most time consuming part of this DIY session was probably the beading. Now I know why embellished stuff are so expensive; it takes time (and bruised fingers).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">To describe my styling for this outfit, it's definitely be along the lines of my own take on vintage. The trendy halter neck style dress meets the bold prints that function both on the vintage side and the modern. The complementary blue-green and cool silver beads against the red of the dress add a different dynamic without clashing. Shoes were self-explanatory: cut-out brogues take a fresh spin on the vintage look too. Tortoise-shell sunglasses? Check. Ladies' bag? Check. And not to mention, the simple studs kept the look young, so no over dramatised accessorising to take the attention away from the beading. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Decided that hair-wise I was always slacking off by just letting it down, so I tried to be vaguely more hardworking this time round. Nah, just kidding, a messy dutch braid was all it took to neaten the look. In terms of make up, I did my usual eyebrows and brown cat-eye, but this time round, I tried a darkish lip so as to balance out my face with the strong print of my dress. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Haven't blogged in a mega long time; should be doing my work now, but decided I could afford to take some time out to blog today. Plus I recently got these gorgeous brogues from Shoecult by Nastygal; well, I needed new shoes cause my two old pairs of creepers are dying out like dinosaurs. Plus another few buys from Feistheist (love their minimalism btw)~</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Makeup: Did my brows, dabs of concealer, a subtle cat eye with brown eyeliner, and staining my lips with sephora matte red lipstick</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I personally really like the idea of staining one's lips cause it adds a subtle pop of colour without going overboard for daily wear, though someday I do want to wear my (full-blown) dark purple lipstick out. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Hey readers!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I've been wanting to update my blog for so so so long, but haven't gotten down to it cause photoshoots just take so long, especially since I don't have a photographer as of yet (I rely on self-timers); it' super time consuming. But that aside, today, inspiration hit and I wrote a song :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Watch the vid below to check it out!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/jDbQkr0zjIM?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I know I'm still quite raw at this, so do pardon any mistakes/nonsensical lyrics and stuff (especially the last part :( )! Meanwhile here're the lyrics for you to follow while watching the vid~ </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="font-size: x-small;">Here's What I'm Not</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Verse 1:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm not just here for your entertainment, your clown of five years</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm not just here; your thrill ride seeker, dream spurrer</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm not just here to take your burdens </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Here's what I'm not, not for your mere expectations</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Chorus:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Here are my thoughts of little consequence which may not mean a thing to you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Here are my overridden voices taking centerstage, take the mike from you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm drawing the veil, breaking the heart ache,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">You left in your wreckage</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Verse 2:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm not just here; your wine glass partner, turn the corner</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">and I'll be there no matter how or why</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm not just here to take your burdens </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Here's what I'm not, not for your mere expectations</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">[Chorus]</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Bridge:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I wasn't kidding when I said promises are meant for keeping</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I wasn't kidding when I said forever is forever</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I wasn't kidding when I said promises are meant for keeping</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I wasn't kidding when I said promises are meant for keeping</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Hi readers! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Haven't blogged in a long long time/</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This whole "holiday" has been crazy packed and I've already fallen sick twice within a single month. Feeling somewhat terrible even as I blog right now. Anyway, just did this shoot yesterday, and right after which I got a fever and slept so much I got tired of sleeping. Sadly, the shoot turned out not as great as I hoped for it to be, and I had to salvage what I could this morning. Then again, I'm somewhat enjoying the vintage grainy feel of the shots after editing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I just felt like this song echoed this shoot. A Great Big World and Aguilera's voices complement each other really well; they're beautifully haunting and <i>vulnerable </i>in song. That was exactly it: the vulnerability which reflected the sentiments of my shoot. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/iC8tP9Oo52Y" style="text-align: start;" width="459"></iframe><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">There's that certain sense of solitude and guarded vulnerability. I wonder, maybe, if you know the feeling when you're so made-up and trim on the outside, so gelled together without a single thing out of place, yet you're crumbling down inside. Well, it's been happening to me. Ironically, whilst others may get confidence out of their looks, sometimes I feel downright terrible when I dress up and I lose my self-assurance. Even more ironic that I call myself a fashion-art blogger on my Instagram profile. It hasn't always been like that though; might also be the result of a myriad of things happening so far and a few of my own heart issues like my oxymoronic tendency to push people away the more I favour them (only some people, not all my close friends of course). Perhaps it was good for me to have fallen sick yesterday, gave me quite a bit of time to chew up the big pieces of heart issues and think 'em through. Therefore, letting some things go and I'll be on the road to physical and emotional recovery. Haha but don't get me wrong, I'm not depressed or anything, just overworked in my physical/emotional capacity for the moment. Here I am, with my little slice of<i> vulnerability</i>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">This was where it all started: exactly one year ago. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">In the beginning, it all started from a single photoshoot which honestly was meant for filling up space on my AEP blog last year. Now, it's an avid hobby.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">From being armed with an Olympus digital camera, cheesy overlay phone apps and Instagram, to now (to my relief), equipped with a DSLR and proper blog, doing photoshoots purposefully.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'd say I've grown in my style, and from utter randomness to more randomness, from raw and unskilled to a little more skilled, from utter noob to less noob :) Still learning, still trying to grasp what I haven't/ </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Below are the stuff and photos I myself haven't seen in a long long long time, and a short visual diary of where it all began.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Oh, nostalgia.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Hey readers! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Can't decide how much I like Hong Kong. Haven't been back there in at least a decade, so let's just count this as my first time since I don't recall a single thing abut the HK from years back.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Anyway, just returned from HK and here is my visual diary; do enjoy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We'll begin with some random shots:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">After all, it was a Geography orientated trip, so above's a picture of one of the fault lines at a geosite (which we had to hike to btw). HK has such abundant and beautiful natural landforms. It was a little sickening, I admit, to keep hiking and looking a green, green more green, and tun rocks, stones and more rocks whilst hearing Sam (the old guy in the picture below) our tour guide explaining the geography behind all the landforms in semi-broken English punctuated with 'ah's and 'uh's. But then again, it was worthwhile and I'm really grateful to have had Sam for our tour guide. He was real friendly and you can tell he does know his stuff. So yayers~ :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Fool's gold</i>. It's called fool's gold for a reason.

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> I didn't manage to get a good snapshot within the UWC campus grounds, but the principal of the school, after allowing us a great time of interacting with students from the school kindly brought us down to a beach near the school. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Before moving on, allow me to just introduce you to <a href="http://arzucanaskin.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: purple;">Arzu</span></a>, one of the students from the class who literally just turned 18 the day we went to visit the school! She and a few other students were bringing my classmates and I to tour the school and they're all really amiable and open people; they are after all the make up of the school, and they really did create a contrasting environment from that of my own school. As we came to learn, all of them had to earn their spot in the school in the first place, going through numerous rounds of tests through written test, interactive camps as well as interviews. I guess that's also what made the environment they created so different. They genuinely wanted to attend UWC and make a difference even as they were in their school. Furthermore, one of the things that came up very strongly was that of 'family'. Being homesick may not be a choice, but the way that fellow schoolmates chose to react to those who were homesick was an active choice: Arzu was relaying to us about how she had been homesick, but her roommates, upon finding out, decided to make some hot chocolate throw a slumber party for her. Surely those were such simple acts, but they carried the spirit of something deeper than just an act of kindness. They not only felt 'family' in their school, they created it for themselves despite the diverse backgrounds (come on, over a 100 nationalities in a small cohort of a few hundred). I can only say that I was impressed. It was all so subtle, but their attitudes definitely made a difference; perhaps it is a chasm that I myself may never be able to observe in full extent being immersed in the environment I'm in, but there is something worth learning from them. </span></div>

Aside from just observing their clothes, I was observing their feet as well. I was really intrigued when I started to capture shots in which two pairs of legs were synchronised. From there I was starting to explore the idea of feet telling a story instead of the idea of using the face to do so (my usual comfort zone in photography).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The concept was basically: What if feet could tell your relationships for you?</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Hey readers!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I guess I caught on to the Kimono craze, and I <b>DIY</b>ed my own <b>Kimono Outerwear</b>. Materials weren't that cheap at Arab Street with the printed cloth going at $10/m and the inner lining material at $5/m, but I guess still better than heading to spotlight. I took around 5 hours just to piece the entire kimono together from scratch, with inner lining and all; need to practice to work faster. If you guys are curious on how I did the kimono, do refer to <a href="http://www.elleapparelblog.com/2013/09/kimono-cool-tutorial.html"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Elle Apparel</span></a>'s tutorial as a reference model --- really useful!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">By the way, I was looking through the photos and I just couldn't help but laugh. I just looked like such a tree hugger in some of the photos.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'd say this DIY project was definitely a success because it was the first time I bothered with inner lining and stuff, thus it was presentable before a camera. Yayers!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Other than that, I've also made a skirt out of the same material, which I may post later if I do a shoot with it or feel like it. Meanwhile, let me just flood this following part with some happiness and randomness.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Hey readers! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Hope y'all had a great week (it's coming to the end of a Sunday here). It's raining, it's in the evening and I'm cosied up in a lounge secretly watching a movie off the reflection of my computer screen. (Come on, it's James Bond, who can resist a little classic movie action?) Lovin' this.</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Sorry, just not-so-secretly snuck in that picture :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Anyway, main point of blogging today is to introduce to y'all Nat; a really great friend to hang with and amazing photographer. We did the shoot '<i>EXPOSED'</i> pretty recently (just last Sunday), heading to a few different places on the Purple Line which I'll tell you guys along the way! Enjoy~~</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">YES I KNOW. That floral crown again :) I guess it really did become one of my best friends since that day that we shot. I'm just showing a few of the selection/ my biases; so go ahead and check out the rest of Nat's photography work on his <span style="color: #0b5394;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/nlp.sg?ref=ts&fref=ts"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Facebook page</span></a></span>!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">This particular photo (above) reached the popular page on 500px; congratulations Nat! How awesome is that~</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I also really appreciate the compositions of each and every one of the shots. And to me, composition really is one of the most key aspects in a photograph! </span></div>

<i>Part 2: Punggol // Bridge</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This bridge was pretty fun to shoot at, especially for the levitation shot, but one annoying thing was just the whole horde of people walking about on it and the awkward sun in the sky (Do you know those suns stuck in the mist that are bright but clouded? Yeah those awkward suns.) Okay, that makes it two annoying things huh; sorry rambling here.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">SPARTAAAAA. </span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">A blind shot, but it was one of my favourites. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><i>Part 3: Woodleigh // Twilight</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This place was seriously reminiscent of scenes in Twilight, and it was pretty much a strange and creepy adventure because it was bordering towards nighttime + we were walking through the tall grasses + surrounded by nature devoid of other human presences. Then again, we pretty much didn't care and went ahead because YOLO. Hahaha nah, it's called having the adventurous spirit of photog kids. (I realised I'm rambling so much here I'm sorry, bear with me.) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Moving on, it turned out to produce theatrical and atypical shots, especially with the natural spotlight created within the shadows of the surrounding trees. Loved that too.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We got to Clarke Quay and did a few shots from across the road. Got random weird stares. I mean, after all, who would be posing in the middle of town with a ginormous floral crown and staring into the dark (cause Nat was across the road which was unlit)? Actually, come to think of it, I might. I'll try it again next time and tell you guys what it's like.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Today was a mix of photo-shoots, fooling around and hipster eating (packed under a budget though).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Always glad and grateful to have a friend like <span style="color: #6aa84f;">Fern</span> to come down all the way to the East to agree to do a shoot with me ^_^ Basically we shot around the East area, and it was raining at the start, but thank God for stopping the rain and really great weather to shoot in after that! Anyway, we did individual as well as twin-ish shots for each of the components; I'll introduce our adventure part by part, so enjoy!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We headed to Telok Kurau Park as well as around my neighbourhood for this part to get some greenery and nature in our shots. Telok Kurau Park's pretty pretty except for all the random bright blue steel benches thrown about the place (thus the limited shots this time round). Nevertheless, we got some rather decent shots and had fun in muddy puddles albeit slightly unhygienic.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">So after hanging out with gardens/nature/greenery all morning, we decided it was apt to head down to the Garden Slug; it has really great food at a decent price; you can check out their menu on their website.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">For mains, <span style="color: #6aa84f;">Fern </span>took the <b>Salmon Confit</b> tossed in herb-infused olive oil and white wine sauce, which was great actually (flavourful and strong fragrance with the zest of the squeezed lemon), but may come off as overpowering for some. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">I took the <b>Juicy Shrimp & Roast Pumpkin Pasta </b>in a rich pink "shrimpkin" sauce. This one was thoroughly satisfying for me, and the natural sweetness (yes, a pretty sweet pasta) of the shrimp as well at the pumpkin in the sauce perfectly complemented one another. Enjoyable and filling (double the carbs but double the enjoyment)! Super yummy ~</span></div>

<i>Part 3: Grunge // Alley Kids</i></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">This part of the shoot went really well, and we shot in an alley around Carlton Ave, and thankfully, although we were shooting behind other's property, we did have a supportive audience of a kind resident who supported our photo shoot, explaining that her son too did photography. Although we didn't really require her help, her friendliness did put us at ease to shoot in the alley behind those houses. Truly blessed! Secondly, the location had a well-suited ambience for our shoot, and that was awesome to have.</span></div>

<i>Part 4: High Tea // Conclusion</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We had afternoon tea (which pretty much covered our dinner appetite as well) at <a href="http://www.cakeflor.com.sg/">Flor</a>, a Japanese cake patisserie just around the Siglap area. Expensive at around 7 bucks for a piece of cake, but still great to hang out at for its quietness and clean, neat space. It's worth a try, especially for this chestnut cake (below) which is pleasant to the tastebuds - it's subtly sweet with a light cake and equally light cream. The place is also usually full of wonderful cakes, but it happened that today they were almost all sold out, so we only managed to grab the chestnut as well as chocolate ones today!</span><br />
