Consider the 'Cheng Beng' day for Japanese. I decided to go hoping to capture photos of kids in Kimono, but i was afraid to point my camera at the kids.  SLR seen every where too, my mini kit lens doesnt have a place there also i forgot to charge my camera.

 

 

Delicate Japanese dancers.

 

I walked in the field and i spotted the Cheah Family stall. I must admit, i've been avoiding them this few years. Everyone greeted me, both grandpa and grandma very delighted to see me. Grandma even invite me to the house, now i am very ashamed of myself for avoiding them unsure

 

I joined my friends to play games and snap around. Not really in the mood as the place is very warm, i feel tired too. But we did wait till the showcase of fireworks which i was saving my batt and manage to snap 300 pics lol

 

 

 

An Inner Transformation

Why? I've been trying to be creative for quite some time. Initial plan was to paint it, lucky i did not pick up my paint brush. The wall decals are much easier.

 

The transformation process:

1. Buying the wall decals

Me and Yuetz spent bout an hour at the stall selecting the design which i ended up with the Dandelion coz my initial plan was to paint a design like this

 

I love the blue Dandelion and decided to paint a wall that matches the Dandelion

 

2. Prototype

Selecting the color was a headache, i tried pink, purple and yellow. All look nice but finalize with pink as i wanted the blue to stand out.

 

3. Painting

It wasnt easy as i need to cover up my checkered blue and grey color. It takes 3 or even more layer to get it covered. I dont think i did a good job for the painting but lesson learned.

 

 

 

 

4. Decals up

I cut out the pieces and tape it to the wall, i adjusted the design like gazillion times. Snap some photos and asked few friends for advice even took my colleague to my house to get their opinion.

 

 

5. Final result

Finally done

 

 

I do miss my first attempt of checkered design.
