Silly things people do

K : Why are u angry with daddy sometimes?

Mom : Because sometimes people do silly things, including your daddy.

K : Like what silly things?

Mom : It is the same as when you do a silly thing, then mommy gets upset with you.

K : What silly thing did daddy do?

K : Like what?

Mom : Adults do silly things but it can be different from the silly things children do.

K : Like what? Like what?

K : Is it like when I dig my nose and eat my booger…Is it like that?

Instagram-tification

I have been hooked on taking photos daily with Instagram ever since I got the 4s 2 weeks ago.

Did some blog visiting this evening and realised that there are fellow mommy bloggers who are also having tremendous fun snapping photos with the app, namely, PC, Evelyn and Janie.

I am quite thrilled by the resolution of the photos that are taken from the phone and I have so much fun with this app. If you are on Instagram and want to join in the fun of participating in the photo a day meme, just add the hash tags of #photoaday right behind your photo description.

I didn’t participate in this meme, as I take too many photos a day with Instagram :)

Instagram is a fabulous way to train your eye for photo-taking and improve photo composition. For more tips on taking better photos with Instagram, Evelyn has featured a really useful post on it.

So what are the kind of photos that I take? Here’s my Instagram photos for the past 2 weeks.

It is usually the boy, his stuff, nature, food and occasionally things that I encounter daily which I think are visually interesting for me.

If you don’t post all your Instagram photos to Facebook, and wonder how you might be able to retrieve all your Instagram feed of photos, there is a site online that helps you to retrieve all the photos. Do check out Webstagram for all your photos.

Oh, and do add me as a friend on Instagram, my profile is @catchfortywinks. Would really love to see and LIKE or Comment on your photos too 😉

Wandering Wednesday

Decided this morning that I should get my butt off the couch to do something about my exercise regime, so I took on the challenge to walk up Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.

So I put on my sports shoes, carried a haversack with my camera and 50mm lens, together with the my smart phone and ‘tracked’ up the hill. Actually it was not such a good idea to bring the camera, I sure worked up a sweat tracking up the hill and got the heart rate beating a bit faster than usual, but was really distracted by what I discovered along the way.

It got progressively worse as I walked higher up the hill, I started to slow down, as my attention got a lot more distracted ‘micro-wise’ with the details that I noticed around me.

Wanted to kick myself for not bringing the other camera lens when I spotted this spider web. This was probably the best the 50mm lens could do :(

So then, what happened to the exercise? I made it only to the halfway mark, with aching knees (well I fractured my knees before!), while many other senior citizens brisk walk passed me really quickly…

So I sort of got my exercise started this week 😛

Do share when was the last time you exercised or took a nature walk in one of our local parks?
