I guess Asian parents are more superstitious. <br /><br />Thank you for your comment and also thanx for sharing with me your honest opinion on my blogging dilemma, Vanessa. I'm aware of my long photo-intensive posts and I hope the disclaimer at the top of such posts to pre-empt people to click the x-button helps. That said, I've been breaking up my posts into parts; hopefully it would be easier for my friends and readers to digest. I think I would break them up into further bite-sized pieces in future. As for privacy issues, no worries on that. My friends once commented that I've got "welfare for them for my blog" coz I would always make sure that I do not post anything my family and friends are not fine about. Speaking of which, I've got a cousin who made a disclaimer that nobody is to upload photos of her kids on any social media platform. She has the cutest kids ever so it is a waste but we all respect her decision. In a way, whatever I post on www are stuff which my family and friends and myself are ok to let "the world" know. It's great that you've voiced out this concern on privacy coz I've not heard about it from other people and so it is really refreshing and I appreciate your opinion a lot! xoxo<br />Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-44081277469831265702014-07-14T00:09:25.166+08:002014-07-14T00:09:25.166+08:00Thank you for your kind comment and also thanx for...Thank you for your kind comment and also thanx for sharing with me your opinion on my blogging dilemma, Sam. I appreciate it when people value my effort put into crafting my posts. Oh, definitely there are people who care about your life. You just didn't expect them to (as you said). I would still take a peek into your life full of high tea, droolicious food, cruises and random happenings in life. Filler posts are actually quite easy for me to do and it helps to keep my blog running. Hehehe... I don't like leaving the last post idle for more than 2 weeks. I appreciate you coming here to visit regularly despite cutting down on your time spent on blog-related stuff.

I look forward to your photography posts always and your hubster is so sweet to help you with your photoshoot. My hubz hates to help me with photos. Phew about the fact that I haven't asked you about your camera. Hehehe And you're so right that previous interactions definitely help a lot in easing any misconception. I hope your trip to Taiwan and Asia in general materializes! xoxo<br />Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-64808670105198821812014-07-14T00:06:07.011+08:002014-07-14T00:06:07.011+08:00Coining new words is one of my hobby.

Good one, Sonia! And yes, I have some of the sweetest friends. Friends who are true and do not stab one another in the backs are what I'm blessed with and I always thank my lucky stars for that. Oh well, I do have people as per mentioned above around me too but those would have to be outta my radar for I would not have the energy to deal with all these. <br /><br />Thank you so much for your sweet words and also for your inputs on my blogging dilemma.

Th...I haven't been to the flea market in years! Though I do prefer thrift shopping more, but somehow my parents are against me buying second-hand clothes. (I'M TRYING TO SAVE MONEY HERE, PEOPLE!!)<br />I've wanted to go to Nando's for the longest time...BUT KINDA LAUGHING AT YOUR MEAL PORTIONS. Your meal is definitely on a diet!! (I don't know the prices of Nandos, but if that plate was expensive....I'd be worried!) Also, kinda laughing at the men's somewhat matching outfits. Talk about a bromance! <br />And oh man, that really sucks about the cat shirt :( But it is definitely worthy of being stolen--that shirt is awesome, man D:<br /><br />While I do like reading about your lifestyle posts, I do wish that perhaps you could split them up more? I have no attention span and by the time I get to the end of the post, I can't remember the parts earlier in the post. >.<<br />And to an extent, I might be concerned about issues of privacy because your posts are photo intensive. On the other hand though, I am honoured that you choose to spend the time writing out these posts and sharing them with us. It's always nice to read/catch up with friends across the globe :3Vanessa Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16500757767135240306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-84682022711917452272014-07-08T08:33:01.390+08:002014-07-08T08:33:01.390+08:00I love the photo of the gifts you complied togethe...I love the photo of the gifts you complied together! oh oh and *applause furiously* I think it's a feat to accomplish any goal whether it's big or small! <br /><br />Hmm...I honestly think you should blog about whatever the heck you want. I know that's what I do now and I feel much less pressured to blog in a timely manner or reply comments quickly. (not that I don't appreciate them lol) But I also know that no one cares about my life as much as myself (or I wouldn't expect anyone to haha) and therefore I should really just do what makes me happy instead. I still take others opinions and what not into consideration. If you're not happy doing filler posts or feel guilty about them then I say just don't post at all and wait for something you really want to post about. If you're happy with filler posts then go for it! =)Manahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038977364952640480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-72640949269182450362014-07-03T04:30:50.896+08:002014-07-03T04:30:50.896+08:00great friends, family, food and gifts! i love thos...great friends, family, food and gifts! i love those cards and the little birthday cakes.<br />http://www.averysweetblog.com/A Very Sweet Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952918199561874968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-78111726614813434032014-07-02T22:58:24.938+08:002014-07-02T22:58:24.938+08:00belated happy bday :) looks like you had a great t...belated happy bday :) looks like you had a great time :) thanks for sharing the photos with us! the food looks great and that baby is too adorable<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pinkoolaid.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinkoolaid.com/</a>Pinkoolaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547459104105978438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-61881374457757011192014-07-01T23:25:16.311+08:002014-07-01T23:25:16.311+08:00Happy Belated Birthday.

Being able to celebrate with friends makes birthdays even more fun and it looks like you had some really fun times. Your little god daughter is such a cutie and what striking eyes. My mom said when I was born my eyes were bluish but they changed after about a year.<br /><br />You may definitely take the Sam Haskins quote image. It's not mine either. I credited the source in my post. I don't think you've asked me about my camera but even so I would think you did so out of curiosity more than the other thing just because of our previous interactions. Thank you for your very kind words. I'm glad you enjoy my shoots with Rena and Ian and it motivates me to want to do more with them. I have many ideas but it takes abit of time to actually execute them and sometimes I need hubster's help with them.<br /><br />It's nice that you were able to plan your Taiwan trip just 2 weeks ahead of going and it all worked out for you :) My husband was born in Taiwan and I lived there for several years as a child so it's special to us as he still has family there. MY MIL just returned from a trip there with all these treats for us. We're hoping to plan a trip to Asia maybe next year.<br /><br />Hope your week is off to an amazing start!<br /><br />Rowena @ <a href="http://rolalaloves.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">rolala loves</a>Rowena @ rolala loveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139269533873270419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-13229174262116396242014-07-01T06:51:27.332+08:002014-07-01T06:51:27.332+08:00"Flea-ed"--haha, I love that verb you ma..."Flea-ed"--haha, I love that verb you made up, Jo!
