Still Life Matters

February 29, 2008 at 2:37 pm · Filed under Writing and tagged: golf, life, quotes

If there were no boundaries marked out by Man, will we still get a sense of space?

Everything falls into its own place even if Man doesn’t move them.

We all fit somewhere.

Sometimes, you need imperfections to work more effectively.

When two things come together, something will always be left out.

When you focus only on one thing, you lose detail on others.

Having the best tool but no knowledge of use is just as futile.

There is a bigger and brighter world beyond one’s solitary existence.

Everything has its purpose.

Photographs taken at Marina Bay Driving Range.

hi Joanne, i noticed that you still have the book P.S I Love You under the books you hope to read. I really recommend the book. Keeping in mind that the author was only 21 (i think) when she wrote the book, I think she has brilliantly executed her writing skills – just like you when you write! The book is very touching. Especially a must read if you like romantic novels. (: enjoy!

Hi Joanne,
I think what u ‘ve written is very meaningful. It sets me thinking too. Keep it up. Cheers

impressive quotes. i dont suppose they’re random thoughts, but they usually just flow when you immerse yourself in the realm of pure, untainted sort of a thinking mode. it’s that way for me, is it the same for you?

Got to see that you’ve added some pics of your trip in flickr. Nice!
Hope to see more

joannepeh wrote @ March 12, 2008 at 10:52 am

Hi Sugar,

Yes, they’re my own quotes. Feel free to contribute yours if you like!

Love,
Joanne

Hi Kimberleyy,

I haven’t received your letter Will let u know when I do ok?

joannepeh wrote @ March 12, 2008 at 10:55 am

Hi Fairy,

You sound very zen, that’s wonderful! Actually, mine were quite random. I didn’t plan to have an entry like that, I uploaded the pictures and I composed the quotes as they first come to mind.

joannepeh wrote @ March 12, 2008 at 10:58 am

Hi Shoe,

I bought a Ricoh GX100. It’s a lot more economical to buy digital equipment and accessories from Singapore unless u’re absolutely certain the models in Japan don’t exist here, because chances are, prices and bundle deals are a lot better here. I learn this expensive lesson after finding an $899 bundle deal for the same camera at the IT show. Boohoo…

Hi Qing Hui,

I’m still very raw as a photographer. If you see some of my school mates and their work, it takes your breath away! http://www.dave-yang.com He’s my friend’s brother and a photo editor of Reuters. I love all his work, especially those he took in India. Look at just how rich the colours are, the way he plays with light, movement, his pictures are full of emotions!

hi joanne
i love playing golf..i find it’s a nice sport..

Qing Hui wrote @ March 22, 2008 at 10:39 pm

Thanks for the link. The photos are really nice!
But I guess it takes time to be a really good photographer.
Your photography skills are much better than mine!

idealist? ignorance is a bliss, but sadly, we aren’t ignorant to begin with.

Hi Joanne… I have switched my blog to wordpress now but i don’t know how to create my own page something like yours… My bookshelf,Books I hope to read etc. How do you do that?

Nat

joannepeh wrote @ April 3, 2008 at 12:50 am

Hi Nat,

That is a little bit complicated, i try to explain. I find the pix i want from the net, using photoshop, create a banner that is consistent in size, then I have to upload this picture at an external location such as photobucket, resize them, copy the html code, and then edit the url link within the code when I paste it into my “text” widget. You can add “text” widgets to ur columns and label them accordingly for e.g. my favourite books, my wish list etc. Widgets can be found under “presentation”. take ur time to slowly explore.hope tis helps.

nat.. wrote @ April 3, 2008 at 4:36 pm

okay… thanks… I think i’ll be able to figure up something… thanks again!

Qing Hui wrote @ April 12, 2008 at 9:44 pm

Hello, I just created a WordPress account, and was just wondering your wish list, bookshelf and current status is under which widget. ;D

nat.. wrote @ April 14, 2008 at 4:26 pm

when you say copy the html code what exaclty do you mean? everytime i past the code only the code appears, no picture. yes, i haven’t done it yet after so long. tests coming up. must study ma.

Kelly wrote @ May 25, 2008 at 12:45 am

Hi Joanne,

I just wondered how you managed to write so well? Does reading often helps??

And I love your posting on the golf. The pictures was great and the quotes fit real well!!
How did you managed to do that?

Cheers!
Kelly

joannepeh wrote @ May 25, 2008 at 11:24 pm

Hi Kelly,

I’m still learning, I do read as much as I can, but I don’t force it. Sometimes I don’t feel like reading so I don’t. I think a lot though, whenever i read something, I sort of chew on it and then ponder over it.

I guess God is fair, I suck at numbers and science, so I just might have a gift for writing?
Thanks so much for your encouragement, I am so happy u like it!

Love,
Joanne

sarahtoh wrote @ May 28, 2008 at 9:52 pm

Nice….Your quotes are just so true. You are great in putting your minds into words ^^
My english is not really good. Your writings make me feels motivated to read more english novels. Thanks a lot. ^^

Hi Joanne,

i’m very much into travel photography as well. Came across your blog link from one of the mag.

I thought this series is great! did you conceptualise the whole series b4 taking the pix? or were you inspired after taking the photo and wrote the quotes with your post process?
