this photo is taken 6yrs back where we went to a elderly home to help out with the cleaning and keep time company. Photo was taken outside of the home. i wonder how many of us still stay in touch with each other as compare to last time where we dun have to think about working life.

This picture was taken during my vacation in my hometown. I was doing a bit of swimming and saw these kids tussling around and they try to throw this other kid to the pool.

While standing at the platform they grab the other kid's hands and feet. swaying the kid and finally throwing it to the pool. I love the reaction of his friends as he falls in. and lucy that i have my camera ready for the moment.

Photo was taken at Punggol beach while we were having mid-autumn celebration at the chalet quite some years ago.
Whenever looking at this photo, I will feel the peacefulness and the serene feel the beach brought to me, with its special rocks that made it significant.

This was shot on the summit of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. It was 5'oclock on the morning during sun set.

Here's a photograph I took on a recent trip I took to Myanmar.



This photo reminded me of how fortunate our children are to be born in Singapore. In Myanmar they worry about even surviving till the next day all the time! It always reminds me to count my blessings.

This photo was taken in 2005 during my first hiking trip in Phu Kradung mountain which located at Northeast of Thailand. It gave me strength to believe thing can be done even the situation is critical.

Memory is always captured in photos. This photo will always remind me of my tourism and resort management cruise trip to Malaysia, together with all my friends. Captured this when the sun was setting.

Children of Inle Lake, Myanmar. I often think about these children. I wonder what they were thinking about in the moments when this photos was taken. I wonder where they are now; I wonder what kind of future Myanmar holds for them.

[scotta]

I took this photo on a recent trip to Bhutan at a festival. It is my favorite memory as it encapsulates some of the best of Bhutan; colour, action and a very unique culture.

I remember your first cry; your first burp, the first time you call my name;
I remember your first step, your first run, your first fall;
Just like those memories, I would always remember the first time we walk on the beach, holding your hand.
Memory is Personal.

As time flies by too soon too fast, this train that runs here yesteryear never was.
We used to walk, we used to run, then came the MRT for convenience and fun.
It has helped us day in and out, thanks to the staffs, we had no doubt.
That till this day, it still runs well, Memories of yesteryears in our minds, they dwell...

Ezekiel Kok, 2011.

'Age of Innocence'

Candid shot taken at Mustafa while shopping. A cute innocent face of my niece, brings peace to my mind all the time.

For my mum, who is suffering from dementia, memory is not remembering; it's a personal struggle.

[Yohoro]

Memory can be personal, accessible only to those who want to see it.

Memory can also be secure, accessible only to those with a key.

Memory can also be forever, even if the lock holding it has rust all over it.

[tesign]

This image of Ha Long Bay, most memorable was taken on the way up a hill to a cave in one of my Vietnam short break trip. The scene was breath taking and with the cooling weather and gentle wind, one can feel the serenity..of all things else, peace and harmony of the inner soul.
