smudge

Photos taken from my apartment room in Beijing. Currently living on the 27th floor! 

Already 1:30am and I still can't fall asleep! >_<

Petrin view

A photo taken on the Petrin Tower this Saturday, when I climbed up there with Andreas.

 Petrin Tower itself is 60 meters but since it is located on a hill, its altitude extends much further. It can be kinda exhausting climbing up there (especially if it's hot) but once you are up there, you can enjoy a really nice view of the city!

  

là, seule.

Photo taken in California 

Xue

Une photo spontanément prise de mon amie (Xue) après le dîner dans un restaurant tchèque! 

C'était aussi cette soirée-là qu'elle est partie pour Vienne. Sa visite en Prague était courte et on s'est vue seulement quelques fois pendant son séjour. Pourtant, je trouve qu'on a eu la chance de vraiment parler quand on a parlé et j'apprécie beaucoup cela. J'étais un peu triste quand on s'est dit au revoir à l'arrêt de tram... mais je sais qu'on se reverra!!

P.S. J'ai travaillé sur cette photo tout en écoutant la pluie tomber dehors =)

fade

I really like the faded colours of this picture, making it look like an old photograph. 

Goodbye Pacific Ocean for a while.

bench

I tooled around with Lighting Effects and Lens Flare on Photoshop. It's my first time trying these effects so I can't manipulate them too well yet. I tried it out on different pictures, but finally I am satisfied with only one.

This picture was taken back in October, while I walking to the grocery store one afternoon.

I am back in Vancouver now, starting a new semester at UBC!

mini pumpkins

Bought two cute little pumpkins at the grocery store today! I am keeping the smaller one and giving the other one to Simon. I took a picture of them with the puff toy because they are all ovally round and have similar colours lol. I got the toy last week from joining this Asian club on campus... actually, it was more like I joined the club so I can get the toy!

Added effects: Dry Brush + Sponge (Photoshop)

vintage effect

Yay! I just learned a new way to give my photos a "vintage look" thanks to an article I found online. If you are interested, you can click here to see the tutorial. 

(Note: the tutorial is only applicable to Photoshop)

Original photo

With vintage effect

I like it!
I will post more vintage photos using this method in the future.

I am so sleepless every night!
Have too many random ideas floating in my head.
Already 2:30am right now...

昨晚的晚饭：凉皮！

是我妈妈朋友作的调料。味道很辣。很好吃!
