The elusive moon

Last week’s photo theme was moon.

I seldom get to see the moon… so this week, I decided to keep an eye out for it (going as far as to actually step out of the house at night to take a look at the sky :P ) And as I was driving home at night one day, I suddenly saw a crescent moon!

However, I did not snap a photo right away (I highly regret that), and instead decided to park the car first. The moon was gone by the time I had parked, taken my things into the house, and come back out… :’(

So now I only have this blue moon… 

I tried to get the moon on the “destar” into the photo as well…making use of the transparent part of the paper bill. Please appreciate my effort. :P (I had to look up “destar” to make sure I got the right word…it took me a while to think of it; it has been so long since I’ve heard the word! I’m glad I got it right :D )

Free food

The photo theme for last Friday was food.

I didn't really eat anything special this whole week, but we had an event at the office, with pizza provided, so I made a point of taking a photo of that. :P

Vietnamese boeuf bourguignon

Some time ago, we went to Pho Vietz for some Vietnamese food.

Vietnamese beef stew with baguette, RM22.90

dried beef noodles, also RM22.90

The beef stew was extremely tender, and the baguette was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. (though not as crispy as the usual ones in France) I don't think they used red wine in the stew, but the dish definitely reminded me of boeuf bourguignon.

The dried beef noodles, on the other hand, was only so-so. Some pieces of beef that came with it was tender, some not so much.

The prices are inclusive of taxes.

 

The naughty Cyndaquil

As mentioned in the previous post, my brother bought a Bulbasaur...and he also bought a Cyndaquil!

So I made a little sketch.

Cyndaquil used peck! It’s not very effective…

Cyndaquil used ember! It’s super effective!

Bulbasaur "tau" to mama, mama comes to the rescue

Cyndaquil used flamethrower! It’s super effective!

Consultation in progress…

Squirtle used water gun! Cyndaquil runs away!

So the moral of the story is...don't bully others even if you have a lot of firepower. :P

Pokemon blindness

Do these two Pokemon look alike?

My brother bought a Bulbasaur recently. I brought my Venusaur out and showed both of them to my father side by side, telling him that Venusaur was the mother. He said, they don’t look alike! Specifically, their eyes don’t look the same!

Okay, fine… but then another day, he picked up my Venusaur and asked whether that was the one my brother just bought. We told him no, and my brother started telling him about the bulb on Bulbasaur’s back turning into a flower, and then into a tree, turning into Venusaur as it grows up. (For the first time, my father was interested in a Pokemon story; he even asked whether there was only one Pikachu (or in general, any type of Pokemon) or a lot of Pikachu in the world of Pokemon! Hahaha…)

The next day, my mother suddenly asked me, didn’t you show your father your cup? So I did…and he asked, is this the older one? *facepalm*

The main thing is, at the beginning he said that they did not look alike!

Plastic gold

The theme was last week was plastic.

So here's some plastic gold!

 It's from Jenga Gold...the box says, "product does not contain real gold". Haha!

Different bottles, different curves

The photo theme for last week was curves.

Lighting up the golden hour

Last week's photo theme was The Golden Hour.

They even included a hint in case we didn't know what that meant: "The period of time just after sunrise or just before sunset when the light is infused with red and gold tones."

Unfortunately, all week the golden hour was not very golden...there were also days when the sun hid behind the clouds!

In the end, I decided on this photo, taken during the golden hour, but when something else was golden. :P

Rocks

Because the photo theme was rocks...

Human-made waves

Last week's photo theme was waves.

Even though my office is beside the sea, it is hard to take a photo where we can see the waves!

So I decided that these metal waves would be clearer :P
