Was talking to a child at my ministry about her nail polish and the conversation somehow got to some nail paintings friends asked me to do some years back. I wasn't exactly interested in painting nails, but one thing I can still manage is to paint & draw.I last shared the photos with Christine, and I posted them on FB to share with this child. Interestingly even though I have set the album to be

Michelle and Raven were there at Singapore Writer's Festival 2009 to catch a glimpse of Neil Gaiman (Author of graphics novel, The Sandman). Then I went with them to this sort of fringe event maybe by his girlfriend, Amanda Palmer, who recently published "Who Killed Amanda Palmer".I managed to take some bad quality of them during Amanda's performance at Stereolab.

The last time I was there was with Nicole and Casey, but this time round, just a few months later, the constructions there seem almost done now.Was there for the Barclays Singapore Open 2009 ... and yes, this is the 2nd time I won the tickets, ha ha! But this year, I only had my mobile phone 2 mega pixel camera with me, so photos are limited.Here's Phil Mickelson doing his warm-ups.And another of

With this I will be able to experiment and run my own experimental web applications on the web.In fact, ngweekiat.com is available ... but after discussing with michelle, it is just not that "cool" a domain name to have, ha ha!

I read this on Rachel's blog. Truly classic, especially No. 10!Christian pick up lines!1. "Is it a sin that you stole my heart?"2. (Serious tone) "I hear there's going to be a love offering tonight."3. "Do you need help carrying your Bible? It looks heavy."4. "I would like to pray with you."5.

Yes, it is really one scary site!When I went to Dion's house, I suddenly saw this huge patch on the hand rail. Somehow it looked sort of strange so I went nearer to check it out ... it was one huge colony of red ants!!! I couldn't be certain if that was their nest, but seeing them clinging onto each other sure look menacing!!I began to trace the trail of ants and it turned out to be a monstrous

I have always been thrilled by extreme sports. Yes, I know ... I took part in Triathlon but the max. I went was Desaru Long Distance (Near to a half ironman) but hmm ... I guess that's not considered as "extreme".Was so excited when I found out that Red Bull X-Fighters (Freestyle motorcross) was going to be held right here in Singapore! So of course I was there.

Sigh ... the good old days in Siemens SIPLACE. Have gotten to know some wonderful engineers and learned some important skills there. Siemens SIPLACE was my first job after graduation. I was going for a few interviews during that time, and all the companies happened to be interested considering me further for the position. However what really made me decided on SIPLACE was because I realized

Just like the past few years, I will be doing 3 things during Chinese New Year. (1) Visit relatives, (2) Visit relatives, (3) Visit more relatives. I used to think of it as chore, but I am beginning to understand and appreciate the bonds.

Thomas wanted to check out Chinatown and experiment with his new Sony DSLR for night shoots. So I tagged along.Ok, other than being at Sentosa Underwater World the first time last month, this was also my first time visiting Chinatown around CNY period!! Although it was still a week to the first day of CNY, there were already a lot of locals and tourists there. Some stalls were totally jammed with

Hey, I have done some body-art before when I was still in Uni, but seeing so many professional and well-known tattoo artists and their works would be the first time for me!

Here's an evidence - photo of a Dugong taken with my mobile phone camera (An animal which michelle and I always talk about, hee)By the way, this is my first time seeing this beautiful creature.All thanks to Nicole and Casey who went with me!

I am getting that "feeling" again. The same feeling I had during the first Christmas after I received Jesus into my life. I am feeling kind of solemn now ... or maybe even a bit of sadness because of the thoughts of God, leaving His throne of majesty, came to us as Jesus and suffered on the cross for us ... how wonderful and amazing is His love!Anyway, here's my favorite Christmas song, a song

In recent years, my dad and mom have been touring China. They seem to be really enjoying it and have been going back almost every year.Their most recent trip was to Guilin (+ Hanoi).I was most awed by the photos they took of Jiu Zhai Gou.

Read an interesting verse tonight:Proverbs 14:4 "Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty; but from the strength of an ox comes an abundant harvest."I was wondering and praying what this verse could mean. After a while, I thought this was what it was conveying to me - the profitability of a business comes from the strength of its product!

There will probably be new tweaks here on there whenever I visit his blog.Had lunch with him today, and it seems like Tamarind Photos will be a site where he showcases his event photos. I am looking forward to see how the site will evolve, and for now, I am just glad he is enjoying Phlook's photo platform ...

Justine was invited by Rachel L to this extremely exclusive+posh F1 Party, "Singapore Stylo Fashion Grand Prix 2008 " at Mercedes-Benz.She had enjoyed the celebrities and socialites studded event, but some people ... ermmm ... whose car keys were mixed up by the valet felt otherwise.
