			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Short Talk</strong></em>: Firstly, internship has never been so tiring. Secondly, I am still amazed at my 400D in creating wonders. Thirdly, all the pictures below are directly from the CF card with no processing except for the portraiture shot.</p>
<p>A friend from the National Geographic merchandise store told us that a Thai restaurant in Vivocity that can beat the crap out of Thai Express. We then decided to spend our Sunday late afternoon at this Thai restaurant for our light dinner.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 349px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4739058436/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4119/4739058436_6579325943.jpg" alt="" width="339" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Smooth</p></div>
<p>Yes, we are that crazy when it comes to yummylicious meals. <a href="http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/thai_accent_vivocity/" target="_blank">Thai Accent</a> is its name and trust me, Thai food has never tasted that good ever since I stepped foot into Singapore.</p>
<p>The interior of the restaurant gives out a cosy feeling. It makes us feel comfortable to dine in. And above all, it provides us with a wonderful view of the newly erected Resort World Sentosa.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4738423847/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4138/4738423847_d581937281.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="334" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Entrace, Thai Accent</p></div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4738424865/"><img class=" " src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4095/4738424865_846c5b0020.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="334" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cosy Seats, Thai Accent</p></div>
<p>On top of that, the vibrant colours of the decorations soothes the eyes as we browse through the entire restaurant.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4738424327/"><img class=" " src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4079/4738424327_4a8bd4ea6b.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="334" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Decorations, Thai Accent</p></div>
<p>Enough of the interior design, let&#8217;s showcase some of the food that the restaurant offers.</p>
<p>When being asked on the spiciness of the Tom Yum gong (Tom Yum prawn soup), both of us nonchalantly replied:&#8221;extra spicy&#8221;. Despite the warning from the waitress, I insisted on our request.</p>
<p>The bowl of soup looked like any other Tom Yum soup served in Thai restaurants.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4739057838/"><img class=" " src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4134/4739057838_b9be27f937.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="334" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Prawn Tom Yum Soup, Thai Accent</p></div>
<p>Little did I know, the &#8220;fire power&#8221; that was packed in this small bowl of soup was sufficient enough to pack a punch to my stomach. Fortunately, we managed to finish the entire bowl of Tom Yum gong at the end.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a fan of Thai Green Curry, therefore, it is customary for me to order Green Curry Chicken whenever I visit a Thai restaurant.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 408px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4739057344/"><img class=" " src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4739057344_8d824ae74b.jpg" alt="" width="398" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Green Curry Chicken, Thai Accent</p></div>
<p>One word to describe this dish &#8211; awesome. Both of us liked it very much after taking the first bite of the chicken. The final bill came up to SGD 15 per person. The price is almost the same as Thai Express but the taste that Thai Accent delivers is definitely way better than its orange counterpart.</p>

What have you initiated?<br />
What do you really want to do?</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;m turning 22 soon, there&#8217;s gotta be something that I can start right now and be proud of it in future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Short Talk:</strong> <em>Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro tripod is really darn good. For more great deals, head on to </em><a href="http://www.cathayphoto.com.sg/offers/brand/manfrotto"><em>Cathay Photo Singapore</em></a><em>. I actually bought it RM130 cheaper than Shashinki!</em></p>
<p>Yesterday was a day full of walking and eating. Both of us went to celebrate our 8th month into our relationship. Therefore, we decided to do something special &#8211; to eat and enjoy the whole day with each other&#8217;s company like how we always do. <img src='http://patrickkua.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>First stop,<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong> Donna Carmela<br />
</strong> Pasir Panjang Road</p>
<div id="attachment_89" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://patrickkua.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_4750.jpg" rel="lightbox[88]"><img class="size-full wp-image-89" title="IMG_4750" src="http://patrickkua.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_4750.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Donna Carmela</p></div>
<p>I like the location of this restaurant as it gives out the authentic Italian ambience without the lil&#8217; guy holding his <del datetime="2010-03-26T17:18:14+00:00">schlong</del> schlort.</p>
<p>As usual, all Italian restaurants serve bread with vinegar and oil condiments as pre-starters.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4465296420/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4465296420_3a9790fccf.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="356" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bread and sticks</p></div>
<p>I would prefer my bread being served warm instead of cold. But no biggies as I enjoyed the other condiments served with the bread.</p>
<p>We ordered Melon with Pama Ham as starters so that I could break my Pama Ham tasting virginity.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4465295814/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2689/4465295814_82b88da75f.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Melon with Pama Ham</p></div>
<p>The melon was sweet and the ham was salty. Together, both their sweetness and saltiness fused together to create an orgasmic sensation in the mouth. You just couldn&#8217;t help yourself but to want more.</p>
<p>Then, came my main dish &#8211; Penne Alla Carbonara.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4465296080/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/4465296080_0d7346731f.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Penne Alla Carbonara</p></div>
<p>It tasted weird as they used scrambled eggs as their cream base. I would prefer something creamy into my mouth so that the sauce could run through my taste buds for a full bodied taste of delicious carbonara. Perhaps I should start cooking carbonara for myself instead.</p>
<p>Her main dish was Spaghetti Alla Dona Carmela.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4465295538/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2687/4465295538_3a7c04f71e.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Spaghetti Alla Dona Carmela</p></div>
<p>The tomato paste tasted generic like it was cooked with Heinz tomato sauce.</p>
<p>Overall rating: 5+1/10</p>
<p>+1 for the orgasmic Pama Ham starters.</p>
<p>Second stop,<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong> Brotzeit<br />
</strong> Somerset 313</p>
<p>Brotzeit is definitely my favourite place for German beers. They have a wide range of German beer and they pull my all time favourite Paulaner from the draught machine.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4465297672/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2498/4465297672_09eca26177.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">0.3L Original Paulaner Lager</p></div>
<p>Their beer price is considered reasonable especially if you dine in before 5pm.</p>
<p>The 0.3L pint cost me SGD 6.10 excluding tax.</p>
<p>Overall rating: 8/10</p>
<p>Third stop,<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
<strong> The Muthu&#8217;s Flavors<br />
</strong> Somerset 313</p>
<div id="attachment_90" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://patrickkua.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_4775.jpg" rel="lightbox[88]"><img class="size-full wp-image-90" title="IMG_4775" src="http://patrickkua.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_4775.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Muthu&#39;s Flavors</p></div>
<p>Their main branch is located in Little India, but I prefer the service over here in Somerset 313. On top of that, they were having promotion for their signature fish curry.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4464518307/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4004/4464518307_c85b3e073f.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Muthu&#39;s Signature Fish Curry</p></div>
<p>To enjoy this dish fully, you have to eat it with Muthu&#8217;s very own white rice platter.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4464517805"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2749/4464517805_2a0028ac30.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Muthu&#39;s White Rice</p></div>
<p>*You can refill your rice upon request at no extra charges.</p>
<p>The rice texture is not too soft nor too hard. It&#8217;s fluffiness is just too perfect to mix with the hot fish curry gravy and once you put it into your mouth, it&#8217;s just pure bliss.</p>
<p>We ordered our all time favourite Mutton Curry as side dish,</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4464518553"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4031/4464518553_fdaeddd374.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="364" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Muthu&#39;s Mutton Curry</p></div>
<p>Honestly, I prefer their main branch&#8217;s mutton curry over this. The texture of the mutton from the main branch is much softer as compared to this.</p>
<p>We ordered Pepper Prawn as well to entitle ourselves to the 40% fish curry discount.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4464518095/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4055/4464518095_a3a18d4cf0.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Muthu&#39;s Pepper Prawn</p></div>
<p>We didn&#8217;t really enjoy this dish as the taste was quite plain. However, we did enjoy the dining experience at Muthu&#8217;s Flavors.</p>
<p>Give the fish curry a try and I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll love it!</p>
<p>Overall rating: 8/10</p>

<p>It can be a frustrating experience when you do not have a light stand and you have to juggle with lights and cameras. Somehow I feel that I should get something more powerful than just speedlites.</p>
<p>Perhaps a Ranger Quadra and a big nice Octabox. Hmmm&#8230;.</p>
<p>Early morning shoot tomorrow.. *yawns*</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Short talk:</strong> <em>Still couldn&#8217;t where my photography senses are heading. On the other hand, moderate loss big win! That was how I ended this year&#8217;s Lunar Chinese New Year. Two partners in crime &#8211; my mom and I, double dragon. XD</em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s funny to see how I blog, it&#8217;s March already and yet I&#8217;m posting something about the New Year&#8217;s Eve celebration. Guess I needed a longer holiday than the current one week break.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4398801660/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2781/4398801660_7dd9a7c9ea.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">New Year Eve&#39;s Survival Kit</p></div>
<p>We thought that Wala Wala wasn&#8217;t going to charge us cover charge. But we were wrong! Tracing back to our ancestors&#8217; footsteps, we both decided to act like one and did what we thought was economical &#8211; sharing a bottle of wine.</p>
<p>Oh by the way, my accompaniment for the night was <a href="http://idtent-dee.blogspot.com/">De Zien</a>, the masked Zorro.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 501px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4398035123"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2679/4398035123_0fb672a94e.jpg" alt="" width="491" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Masked Zorro</p></div>
<p>Why Wala Wala on New Year&#8217;s Eve and why De Zien?</p>
<p>First of all, the train was so packed with foreigners that I nearly suffocated on the way to Wala Wala. Secondly, I didn&#8217;t want to be the &#8220;ah kua&#8221; bikini girl being groped by a bunch of banglas at Siloso Beach, Sentosa knowing that I&#8217;m a Kua as well but definitely not an &#8220;ah kua&#8221;. This is because I don&#8217;t ahhhhhhhhhhh&#8230; when I speak, period. Try talking to an &#8220;ah kua&#8221; and you will know what I&#8217;m trying to say.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4398037921"><img alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4055/4398037921_2e549cecbf.jpg" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Crowd</p></div><br />
Wala wala was first introduced to me by my cousin and later on, it became one of our (De Zien and I) favourite hangout spots. They have nice bands performing on Saturday nights and their drinks aren&#8217;t overpriced except during special occasions.<br />
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4398807136"><img alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2702/4398807136_8d9387d3be.jpg" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Duet</p></div><br />
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 318px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4398806378"><img alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4037/4398806378_632860e4d7.jpg" width="308" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Nice rack flat bottom</p></div>
<p>During intermissions, we were too bored and decided to snap some photos to <del datetime="2010-03-01T16:29:13+00:00">fill up our blog quotas</del> beautify our blogs. Being singles(partially for me because she was away, ;P) for the night, we looked like a pair of gay couples with our gears hanging <del datetime="2010-03-01T16:29:13+00:00">low</del> on our necks. On top of that, we couldn&#8217;t resist ourselves from flashing consistently in such low light conditions.</p>
<p>Nowonder the girls refused to look at us. Le Sigh..<br />
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4398803558"><img alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2772/4398803558_7cff1b823a.jpg" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Do-Re-Mi</p></div></p>
<p>And so that was our New Year&#8217;s Eve celebration,<br />
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4398137271"><img alt="" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4002/4398137271_1f92da800d.jpg" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Auld Lang Syne</p></div></p>
<p>how was yours?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Firstly,</p>
<p>Happy Lunar Chinese New Year to all of you!!</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4363745249/"><img class=" " src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2781/4363745249_af4043b81e.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Flying Dragon</p></div>
<p>After months of slacking and some considerations, I&#8217;ve decided to reactivate my blog. The moment I stopped blogging, I lost the motivation in taking photographs. Hence, I really hope that this blog will constantly push me to post photos and take good ones too!</p>
<p>Right before coming back to M&#8217;sia for the festive celebration, the folks back in NTU organized a CNY Reunion Dinner for the Malaysian students.</p>
<p>Things started off quite healthily with our very first Salad &#8216;yee sang&#8217; of the year.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4363745997/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/4363745997_681f0ea32f.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Salad &quot;Yee Sang&quot;</p></div>
<p>Last year this time, I was hosting the dinner and this year, I&#8217;m the audience enjoying my very first CNY celebration with a bunch of seniors.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4363746705/"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4055/4363746705_8d16c98942.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">In their senior year.</p></div>
<p>I have completed almost half of my degree and I&#8217;ll be graduating soon. Time flies eh. xD</p>
<p>There were quite a few performances right after dinner and the one that fascinated me the most was the &#8216;Diabolo&#8217; act.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/4363744129"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4029/4363744129_5065e509fc.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Diabolo</p></div>
<p>I wished I could juggle my balls that well too! Then, I can start performing for the tiger show in Thailand.</p>
<p>On a lighter note, I have a doggie in my room back in NTU. Well, the doggie belongs to <a href="http://guiltcontradicts.blogspot.com/">her</a> but she decided to put it in my room because I love doggies. Man&#8217;s best friend, what can I say about that? *shrugs*</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 343px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45767986@N02/436448484"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2757/4364484846_281a0b9546.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pluto says Hi!</p></div>
<p>Imma gonna start to teach him how to catch ma balls. hehe..</p>
