Baptism Round Two

The second batch of pictures from Caitlins Baptism! This time all pics , well most fo them have been taken by the Doo aka Grandpa.
A little trivia, Caitlins baptism gown is almost 30yrs old and was used byt both Mischa and Tuffy!

Caitlin Rose Simon-baptized.

Lets hope i dont get sued for pinching these pics from the MOO's photosite! this is the only post in almost a year that will will have pics and i mean all the pics taken by someone else!!! lol for the rest of the pics please go to the below link. Caitlin would like to thank the many family and friends who took time out of their weekend to spend with us on this special day, i know the church was miles from anywhere and the rain was pouring...but it was a nice day i have to say and it was great having so many people in our little house.Many thanks especially to the Padre, Fr.Iggy, and godparents Tuffy and Philip who made a mad dash from indonesia just for the baptism and has gone back to indon today!!!
Also to the people who helped behind the scenes with cake boxes and cake(doo)
We had many photographers and i reckon there will be more pics to follow.

It was especially nice having the remainding members of my family who live here over, today would have been my father's 72 birthday and i think he would have enjoyed himself yesterday.
My throat is a little dry and my head is a lttle heavy but i think thats from the rum........

Rest In Peace Steve.

Crikey no more.

i am too upset to say anymore.

"He dunno..."

It's the Doo's birthday this week BUT lo and behold we had a suprise birthday party for him on the 2nd of sept! Boy was he suprised. The planning gang (moo,tloml and tuff tuff) did a great job along with the assitance of the sub com members (you know who you are) i didnt really spend much time taking photographs as i my skills dont lay in the area of people+night shots as can be seen from the rather poor pics i have posted.
IT was a great night with great food and plenty to drink. In no particular order the pics you see here represent different bits of the night from Doo with his birthday cake to the guest standing and waiting for a good 10mins cause we were told the guest of hon was around the corner!
The bread pudding/cake with its thick vanilla sauce was out of this world , served just after a 7min movie montage done by the film making duo of Tuff and Mischa, they spent an agonizing time selecting pictures and laying out the format .A great evening. I am sure that tuff and mischa will post more so keep your eyes open

Back.

Its been a long time since my last post on the 7th of august, its been a busy time for me at work and at home and in all honesty i havent really had much time to take pictures. Hopefully all the changes at work are over and done with and i can get things back on track....
Finally had time to meet a couple of the guys and we went to watch "SNAKES ON A PLANE" before you say anything remember i am the guy who went to watch "EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS" and "MIMIC". I tell ya it was a laugh, we were screaming and laughing so hard all of us needed to pee real badly by the time the movie ended! I wouldnt get the dvd but watching it in all its gory glory on the big screen on a weekday afternoon was a joy to say the least. Go see it if you need to laugh.NC16 is its rating and i was more then a little suprised at the amount of "topless" footage they actually allowed! 10yrs ago that would have landed someone in jail i am sure.
Right about now your wondering what the hell does a packet of "ken ken cuttlefish" have to do with my little post, i picked this up at the snack bar before we went in the cinema and for the first time i noticed what they had printed on the top left hand corner "CHEWING GUM OF THE ORIENTALS" NOW IF THAT DIDNT MAKE YA LAUGH THERE IS NO HOPE! my personal caption would be "SMELLS LIKE DEAD FISH, TEXTURE LIKE A LEATHER BELT"( AND I AM A FAN!!)
The rest of the pictures are just random shots i felt like posting..nothing that i would want hanging on my wall but i think they each tell a little tail of their own.

A shout out to TLOML who has been picking me up from work and sending me to the office when she has time! its great getting into the car and seeing my wife, doggy and baby all waiting for me :) life is grand eh.
sidebar-its been so long since i posted i wonder if anyone actually visits anymore..
and to the genius who found all my typos, i hope you enjoyed them.

Bravo Italy! Viva Singapore!! PART II

If you saw my post yesterday you will know that i went for the first of the fireworks festival events over the weekend, and i posted some pics late saturday night, i decided to post more this morning. I have seen some great firework pics on the net and mine dont even come close but still i think they are an improvement on the pics i took last year. The framing was off and there was lots of camera shake which i hope to eradicate soon."practice practice practice"

Bravo ITALIA Viva Singapore!!

Thats right its that time of the year again, national day and the fireworks festival kicked off with an italian bang today! One of the best if not the best i have experienced, i say experienced because we were so close to the launch site that it felt as if the fireworks were going to rain down on us. Great night! Moo, Doo picked me up and we met Mark there our cameras were firing like we knew what we were doing but i reckon the photography was just an excuse to get there and enjoy a great italian display! It only gets better from here with Singapore next in line to fire on tuesday, cant wait. The pics that came out are pretty poor, framing was all over the place and i do regret that the city buildings were not alight with the glow of a thousand office lamps like last year, but my settings? i am happy with those.
Pics have all been shrunk, dramatically.

Welcome to my world. Run while you have the chance.

As national day approaches i thought it would be nice to pay homage to the minority of singaporeans who live to a code best best explained by the term "selfish" They are the people that belive if you are at a buffet you must take everything first even if you are going to eat it all or not, the same people who use up four seats at a food court table when there are only two of them . The same people who will join a Q for something like a Hello Kitty Doll and come to blows if they dont get it. The first pic is dedicated to these people.

The second pic is dedicated to people who think that because they drive flashy cars and live i nthe right district they own other singaporeans, also to those people who think because i am the customer i have the right to shout and be abusive for every silly little thing. Mainly because they belive that they must eat the little fish so that they can show how powerfull they really are. the pic heading should have been "Can eat then eat"
