New Lens

Was looking at reviews regarding a lens that i was eyeing.. the canon ef24-70mm f/2.8 for those who do not understand, it's ok .. it's just a better lens that the one that came with the camera with i bought it. last weekend, i went down to alan photo at sim lim and got it!! yeh!! Photos are really different from the kit lens that came with the camera. indoor photos looks so much better with f/2.8, loving the lens so much.. and there's no better way to test it out than to have a model to pose for the cam!! arranged to watch stardust with bangzhi at vivo, so i took the chance to take so photos with the new lens.

Walked around vivo to look for a place for early dinner at 5 plus, saw this thai restaurant called thai accent. the place is quite big, with lots of seats and it feels very spacious, but i wasn't impress with the food, the price is quite high for that kind of standard and ambience too, details here.

Here are some photos i took at the restaurant when we still had some time after dinner before the show starts. bangzhi got his hair cut... now he looks like an army boy


Stardust is a nice show, ok, i like to watch fantasy shows with magical happennings, like harry porter, so probably that's why i like this show. bangzhi felt that the lead actor and actress wasn't good looking enough for a beautiful romatic story like that, i felt that it was ok. michelle pfieffer acted really well as the witch!! if you haven't watched the show, remember to go catch it!

After the show, we proceeded to mingbao's place for 2 rounds of mahjong, together with bingwei and jiemin.It was jiemin's lucky night, laly luck was following her all the way!! someone threw her winning card, but she felt that it was too small, so she chose not to win it... a couple rounds later, she got a flower, 1 more tai.. and immediately got her winning card, another 1 more tai!! and 3 tai, suddenly become 5 tai, zi mo somemore!!

A happy girl at the end of the game..

Now for some updates of jerard, can see a substantial growth in size, but i realised that he still like to keep his eyes close, so difficult to get to see his eyes..
It's really not an easy task to take care of a new born, so much attention is needed but looking at the satisfied look on the baby's face after the feed, an looking at the baby as he looks around innocently is quite warm.. mingbao has been busy... or isit lazy. when it comes to updating jerard's blog! when can we see a new entry?

wah.... your 2.8 zoom must have cost a bomb.... i bought a 2.8 last time for weddings, but can only afford a non-zoom, 28mm one..... which took wonderful pics
