Rubber Tapping

Rubber tapping tools on display at the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall.
Mom excitedly asked if I've taken a picture of the rubber tapping tools & started to tell me interesting facts about rubber tapping which I never knew. Invaluable lesson which I believe many might not know too.
妈妈: (非常兴奋的问我) 有没有把这个拍下来?
我: 哦,还没。(喀嚓,拍了一张,就是所见上图)
妈妈: 以前我们去割橡胶的时候就是戴酱的灯在头上。
我: 哇,酱high tech 啊!为什么要戴盏灯割橡胶?
妈妈: 因为割橡胶要早上两,三点,天还没亮的时候就起来割,所以要戴盏灯才看得到。
我: 为什么要七早八早,天还没亮的时候去割橡胶? (本人非常反对任何干扰正常睡眠的非自然活动)
妈妈: 因为天亮了,橡胶树被太阳晒了,就不会流出来。只有到了晚上,橡胶才会流出来。
我: 哦,原来如此。(上了一堂课)
妈妈: (指着右下方的一堆种子) 这些就是橡胶的种子。
我: 这个我以前有看过。(因为曾经有人把在地上磨过的橡胶种子烫我,所以印象深刻)
妈妈: (指着橙色的物体) 这就是处理过的橡胶。
我: 很像石头叻!

完毕!

158 of Project 365: Broken Wrist

Sprained my wrist more than two months ago before I finally decided to go to Eu Yan Sang to get it checked. The doctor said there's a mild infection of the vein near the joints at the wrist hence I'll feel discomfort whenever I move my thumb. Besides being "bundled" up, I was also being prescribed with 7 days' worth of medicine (shudders). I was told that this is a common problem faced by mothers who have to carry/lift their kids. Of course, I don't have to carry any kid but I think my huge carry-all bag is no laughing matter. Well, I can still live life as per normal but I have to refrain from carrying heavy stuff. I wonder how is that possible?

I took this picture with my left hand holding the camera upside down. The final picture has been rotated twice to get it in the right position. Today, I took all the pictures using "Shutter Priority" mode instead of the usual "Manual" mode and I must say that the picture turned out pretty well. After adjusting the aperture & ISO the brightness of the picture came out exactly like I see it. Another milestone in my photography journey.

154 of Project 365: My Notes

Recently, I've started making notes in preparation for an upcoming exam. This brought back memories of my school days when day-in, day-out, we were frantically jotting everything flashed by the lecturers. I believe nowadays, laptops have long replaced paper & pens, instead of writing, students are typing their notes.

153 of Project 365: 自然的奥妙

又是一张花的照片。虽然花瓣不是很大或特别鲜艳,可是它的特别之处就在那一圈一圈,由黄到粉的小花瓣。我想这就是自然的奥妙,人工染色未必能做得到。

好喜欢拍摄花,因为花很漂亮。而且花的寿命通常都廷短暂,所以只有在它那短短的花期捕捉得到难得的一幕。

Hotel Michael. Should have been "Hotel Graves" but it would definitely not sit well with the locals & Asians,  particularly the gamblers.
