APAD 172: Cozy corner

My favourite part of the house — our veranda garden. And that’s my favourite spot, right there. That’s where I sit down and have my morning coffee while my husband sits opposite of me and my dogs playing nearby.

This is just a section of our (back) veranda. The vines serve as our “screen”.

If I remember it correctly, this photo was taken just after 4pm. The sun is still bright but not hot and blinding anymore. Professional photographers say that the best time to take photos are early in the morning before 10am and just after 4pm in the afternoon. This is called the golden hour. The light is warm and along with the shadows it creates make for an interesting picture.

I also love taking sunrise (and sunset) photos but it’s the getting up I don’t like so much, tee-hee-hee.

APAD 171: Irresistible

Last Saturday, my husband and I went to Sorya Mall to hunt for that elusive man jeans. We did find a pair, not in Sorya but in Central Market. But I digress.

Before heading home, we decided to drop by the shoes department at the 2nd (or 3rd floor). There the Zebra stora was beckoning to me. I realised we needed a new sauce pan and a food carrier (for me) so off we went. Surprisingly, most of the items there were on discounted rates!

I could not resist the yellow-tags and came home with these:

Who can resist the yellow tag? Not me.

A stainless steel sauce pan and a two-layer tiffin food carrier. I ditched my old plastic lunch boxes already and turn to this traditional Asian lunch box 🙂

APAD 170: Workplace

That day when I went to work very early…

apad 170 early morning at work

Just 30mins after this photo was taken, the place was suddenly abuzz. The half-empty lot was filled with vehicles and people poured in a matter of time. This is where I work.

This week’s my first week at work so obviously I’m trying to make a good impression. Since it’s been a long while that I was idle, I must say I was excited and a little nervous about going back and be part of the workforce again. You can say that the long years of staying at home has tremendously diminished my confidence. I was afraid I would feel alone (having no friends yet) and confused (don’t know the system yet). Surprisingly the first day wasn’t a hard one. My colleagues were welcoming (we clicked instantly) and helpful as I began settling in my work.

And so begins another chapter…
