It was one of those rare Singapore mornings that felt like something out of a daydream. We were at Bukit Timah Saddle Club, and Lakeesha had her horse riding session booked. Her partner for the day was a lovely white horse named Frosty—tall, elegant, pure white, with deep black eyes that made you pause for...Read More
After three packed days of back-to-back meetings in San Francisco, I found myself craving a little peace. So, I decided to treat myself to some photo therapy for the rest of my Thursday. I asked Chat GPT for advice on where to go, and Pier 39 was the top recommendation. With my trusty Fuji XS20 and...Read More
I didn’t plan much that day. Cupertino greeted me with a kind of quiet that wasn’t boring. Trees lined the roads like gentle guardians. The buildings stood with a quiet confidence, not shouting, just there, doing their thing. I captured what caught my eye. A shadow on a wall, a twist in a tree branch,...Read More

This year’s Indonesian Independence Day celebration, hosted by the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore, was a blast! They really pulled out all the stops by inviting Kahitna, the beloved Indonesian band, and many more to perform for the diaspora this weekend. I was lucky to get an invite and join in the fun. The vibe was...Read More
Indonesian weddings don’t hold back. They’re full of rich traditions, grand gestures, and moments that tug at your soul. Last month, I had the chance to document one for the very first time—a deeply personal one at that. It was the sacred union of my nephew, Ivan, and his beloved, Gesti, held in Jakarta.

Shoutout to FujiFilm Singapore for lending me the 27mm F2.8 pancake lens to pair with my XS20. Naturally, I took it for a spin through the heart of the city—roaming from Orchard Road to City Hall, chasing light from noon till sunset. It’s compact, sharp, and fast. But honestly? I’m still on the fence about...Read More
