went to photograph my best friend kai doing her bit for charity!

(pic of cute niece Nicky looking at her bald auntie in astonishment)

kudos to her for her courage (and insanity)!! wahahaha.. :) but really, i'm terribly proud of her.. WELL DONE MY FRIEND! :)

shanghai shopping



this is shanghai as most would see it. nice too.. especially when there's a chilly evening breeze..

btw, i've rediscovered the joy of writing on paper.. looks like i'm gonna be straddling blog (weblog) and "plog" (paperlog) quite a bit from now.. :)

pretty shanghai



not quite most people's idea of shanghai, with all its glitzy lights and crowded shopping streets.. but these are the parts of the city i really like. real people living in real places, carrying on with the way they've lived all these years.. wonderful... :)
