I’ve always been interested in taking photographs of flora. Each time we go to the park. I try to snap pictures of the flowers that I see. Unfortunately on most occasions I do not have my DSLR with me and I have to make do with my HTC phone camera.
A few weeks ago we brought the kids to have a spin on the Go Kart at West Coast Park. While riding around in the park I saw a few tropical blooms. Using the filter- depth of field on my hand phone I snapped the above shot. I was focusing on the center of the flower and the filter helped to blur out the surrounding only living what I was focusing on clear.
Sometimes I feel that one needs to temporary blur out the surroundings to be able to refocus. I find that this approach has been serving me well. Very often our vision can get clouded on the way and it can be difficult to keep our aim on our focus. To be able to trudge one one has to sometimes to take time out to refocus to ensure that what we are working for is still our aim.
There are so many things that are on my plate at the moment. Sometimes it can be overwhelming deciding on what to do first and setting the priorities on which item I should allocate my time to so that all can be completed within the week.
Reading
Raising Respectful Children in a Disrespectful World by Jill Rigsby, The Broken Circle by Cheryl Potter and Unbridled a memoir by Barbara McNally are the books that came in this month for me to read. So far I ‘ve only made it to chapter 1 of the first book while the other two books are collecting dust on my study table. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to finish at least the first book by the end of this week.
Listening to
I’m into listening to the compilation of KDrama Series theme songs. This is my current favourite from Prosecutor Princess.
Thinking about:
How to finish using the whipped cream in the fridge. I have been procrastinating since I bought the 1 liter tetra pack two months ago. It hasn’t been opened so it is still good for us. I’ve decided that we are going to make fruit tarts this week. If there is still a lot left over maybe another round of Hokkaido Chiffon cake also 🙂
Watching
The traffic lights turn from red to green signalling that it’s time to move on on the road. I have to be on the road a lot more this new school term as the kids have an increase in after/before school activities and need me to ferry them around more often on school days. I’m also following the Taiwainese drama series Fabulous boys(原來是美男 / Yuan Lai Shi Mei Nan) staring Jiro Wang.
Bummed out on
My weight lost regime not getting anywhere. It is extremely frustrating trying to lose the extra kilos. It just seems to be still stubbornly sitting there instead of falling off. There must be something else that I need to tweak. The dieting regime isn’t really helping me much and the running around is wearing me down making me exhausted even before I can start with the exercise routine.
Loving
Waking up to the four of them having smiles on their faces when they see me. Receiving hugs and kisses when they come back from work/school and them enjoying the dinner that I prepare for them.
