Mr. Kent said “I've loved you from the beginning…”

One late afternoon, I decided to entertain my strange mind and BB my muse (namely Maya) and asked, “Hey, would you choose Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne?” I was sure she must have had that WTH face but like a good friend that she is; she replied, “Of course Bruce Wayne! He is rich and Clark Kent is an alien!”

“Yeah but Clark Kent is kind and he can fly.”

I believe every girl grows up dreaming about her fairy tale wedding. Some dream about the white dress, some of the beautiful centerpieces and floral arrangements, some of the breathtaking views of where they will be pronounced forever husbands and wives, some of the exciting honeymoon. I believe every girl perfects the dream of that magical day through the seasons that passes in their lives.
A few years ago, mine came true. And that day was even more magical than I had ever imagined it to be.

As we walk our path of life, we meet people everyday. Most are simply met by chance. But, some are gifts from above, and become special friends. the ones who will stay with us forever to share our life. You are definitely one, Ros :) Thank you for being you, your unique laughter never fail to makes me laugh.

I believe everyone has had that experience where the heart instantly turns into mush at the sight of a cute puppy dog, his adorable
waggling tail and big round puppy eyes. It’s at the sight of this sheer cuteness where all logic evaporates and is replaced by a big
urge to instantly take the little ball of fur home. When we bring home a pup on impulse, it is usually an act out of sudden emotional
instability, when ration is replaced by the melting of the heart, caused by a pretty little face. And it’s during this time, when the

So you've finally met him. The one who makes your heart pound as he walks towards you. The one whose sweet musky scent you look forward to at the end of a hard day. His soft touches lingers on your skin for days and the way your name rolls off his tongue can leave you weak at the knees.

You've heard it all before. You've read the books and seen the movies. Food is no longer a life necessity and sleep is a thing of the past. There is no mistaking it now - you must be in love.

But wait a minute. In love ... Or infatuated?

Hi All :) Let me introduce myself, I am Fen, a hopeless romantic, the sentimental dreamer who believes in fairytales. I believe that every women's dream of a wedding, has to come true to the very detail of it. We started dreaming of our wedding day from the moment we used our pillow case as our pretend to be veil. Well Disney's princess characters surely influence our image of a prince charming and a life of happily ever after. I am a baby & pregnancy photographer, and I love shooting dogs too and recently addicted to shoot baby birth photography.

While making my usual weekly store visit at the mall earlier this week, I had a sudden craving for some crepes. I ordered a choco banana cheese crepe (without thinking of the calories involved) and watched the lady as she prepped all that’s necessary to whip up my order.

I'm sure you are familiar with how it's done, crepes are made on a hot plate of black steel. First she dropped just a ladle-full of liquid-y dough, and slowly moved a little broom-like stick on top of it in circular movements, making it cover the surface of the entire round steel plate. She was supposed to wait a few moments before she could put the toppings on it. But the crepe cracked. She tried to mend it, but instead the crack grew bigger and it suddenly ripped. Finally, she had to tear the crepe away from the steel plate and started the same process again. But before she put the dough on it, she wiped the remaining dough – all crispy and burnt – with a wet cloth, leaving the steel plate in the right temperature to start again.

Seeing this had me begin to think about new relationships and broken hearts.

When in a relationship, we feel as though our whole lives revolve around that one person who we deeply adore. We show our love by clinging on, holding on tightly and never letting go. We cover ourselves with that one person. Time passes and the relationship gets hotter. But when it cracks, and there was no way to salvage the remains of the relationship, we end up with nothing but a crispy, burnt, and broken heart.

I wish that getting over a failed relationship is as easy as removing the dough remains with a wet cloth. Wiping the slate clean is easier said than done. The memories that we have of the pain, and the foolishness that we’ve had to deal with in the past have kept us from moving on. Even when we do, sometimes we may find ourselves lost in fear and confusion. We may find ourselves swirling around in a never-ending whirlpool of negative thoughts. It takes more than a wet cloth to remove all the memories of the person who used to make you feel safe and loved. It takes a little more “oomph” to tear the pieces of those who used to cover your life, away from you.

But don’t allow yourself to be stuck in the past. It’s time to wipe the slate clean. Prep your heart for a new relationship. Let it start on a smooth clean surface. Reach out for what you believe in. Be fair. Trust in the person you love and have faith in them enough to know that they wouldn’t do anything to hurt you. Maybe time will heal, and maybe love will prevail. Or maybe it won’t. But muster up enough courage simply to take that risk.

And as alike as it maybe in theory, wiping away pain from your hearts is not as easy as removing crepe dough remains. After all, our hearts are not made of steel.

I was in London a few weeks ago for a prewed shoot and was fortunate enough to have a few spare days to look around town. It is such a photogenic city with its colonial architecture and rich history. I set out to look for colors and shapes and came back with these images. Cheers!

It was fantastic, awesome, perfect holiday. I've been waiting for this, considering  my schedule has been rather crazy the last few weeks. Imagine shooting pre-wedding & weddings Singapore, Sydney, Jakarta, Edinburgh , Provence, Paris, Bali, Manado, then another stretch in Vienna & Paris. All within 6 weeks...non-stop! I'm also amazed where did I get all that energy and creativity. Must have been God...all along. After the last shoot in Paris, I almost shout my heart out in the middle of Louvre at 1 am. But I resisted. Instead I rejoiced in my heart. Got back to the hotel, found everyone sound asleep. Ha ha I had my Korean noodle for dinner/supper after a hot bath. It was such a relieve. Had the best sleep in days..then woke up to the smell of summer.

Let the holiday begin. Day 1, Disneyland. Axel has been with us for the last 10 days, but I wasn't really around playing, spending time with him. So I thought it's only fitting for us to head for Disneyland and make him happy. After a long day trip to the candy color land of make believe, I found that he wasn't interested in the rides at all. He just wanted more toys...ha ha we could have satisfy him by going to a Disney store or any toy shop for that matter. But we had fun anyway :) Nothing feels like a day without a heavy camera...iPhone will just do fine, esp with Instagram...by the way, you can follow us on instagram: @awie + @fenaxioo.
