Firework - TWBA

Just finished the holiday in Tokyo for a week. It's really so exciting to see the firework show in Yokohama together with 500,000 people.

Hahaha, I scream too much? maybe!

Will try to upload the photos more but i just worry there aren't many great shots in this trip cos of the rainy days.

but the theme song of this ad "Eanie Meany" by JIM NOIR is going to spend every happy summer night with me. By the way, the song is VERY "BEACH BOY!!" http://www.myspace.com/jimnoir


"If You Don't Give My Football Back I'm Gonna Get My Dad On You I Only Kicked It Over Your Fence And Broke A Silly Gnome Or Two" taken from JIM NOIR'S ALBUM "TOWER OF LOVE" ( the best album for SUMMER )

one summer afternoon

It's a very typical summer afternoon. This year, there has been too many lazy sundays at home already ( and I feel more exhausted if I sleep more at home ), so I finally made up my mind to swim. (Inside the pool, nothing in my mind but only numbers) Everytime, I would fix a target distance to swim ( like 1,000 metres this time ) so that I could finish it and feel satisfaction. Well, I don't know why i have that habbit but it's the way I go swimming.

I found the sunset was so fascinating so I parked my car in the fishing village at Coloane Island on my way home and took some shots with the "mobile phone" (that's why I couldn't present the decent large pictures of the beautiful sunset I have enjoyed so much).

hmmm...of course, besides the refreshing mind, I got a completely sweaty body and wet T-shirt after the picture shooting walk.

Lotus and little green creature

originally uploaded by farawaysoclose.

Have a walk at LLI garden after work. I've read the newspaper that most of the lotus blossom were ruined after the heavy stormy weather in late June. Yeah, really couldn't see many "complete" blossom and you could understand how they had suffered in storm. Met many photographers with disappointed face there in garden cos they have no chance to take the glamorous "sea of lotus" kind of pictures. Well, to me, a little green creature bathing in the tiny drop of water under the lotus umbrella...it's amusing enough to win my smile. Cheers!
