My absolute beauty of an engagement ring ♥

I've decided to post a photo of my beautiful engagement ring that I took on my own using my SLR. I took this to show a friend and used my D3000 purely for the quality, as the camera on my BlackBerry is awful and doesn't portray my baby in the way that it should be!

I still can't believe that at the age of 21, I am an engaged lady :) I'm so so happy! I don't think I'm quite used to wearing my engagement ring on my 'ring finger' yet either lol.
Although I can't wait to become Mrs Ho, that won't be happening for another couple of years at least! The fiancé needs time to save up for my dress etc ;)

Here's my ring! I still can't stop staring at it every day... ♥

Hi all!
Just a quick blog update on my two recent purchases.

First one is a new addition to my hoodies :] - I LOVE this. It's so comfortable too.
Purple Adidas track top.

Today I was browsing in HMV, and checked the headphones out...

I hadn't came across these before but as soon as I saw them, I couldn't tear myself away - PURPLE JUSTIN BIEBER JUSTBEATS headphones by Dr. Dre!!! :o

One: they're purple - my favourite colour and Justin Bieber's favourite colour ;) , and Two: they're Justin Bieber headphones!!!! Perfect combo :D

The purple iPod I've had for a few years now, but the JustBeats just make it so much more awesome!

The sound quality from these are amazing, and the bass is so intense!!

Yes, they're pricey and I'm not going to reveal the price on here (check teh Internet if you would like to know!), but you most definitely pay for quality!! :D ... even the younger bro wants a pair of red ones now haha! :]

'Original'

My latest addition to hoodies, Adidas Originals .

I much prefer mens hoodies to womens, as mens have nicer designs etc, and I opt for bagginess and comfort :]

I adore this hoodie! Its so comfortable and looks great too. The colours on this is what caught my eye! It just works and is sexeh ;)

Air Royalty ♥ ♥

I'm so in love with my new sneaks, I have to post about them!!
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love my trainers. These are my fourth pair of Nike's :] 
I have a pair of Dunk's, Prestige's, Mid Blazer's, and now Air Royalty's.

These were from Schuh. I wear a size 3, and of course they didn't have any stock in store so I ordered them in and had them delivered to my home. They came 3 days later :]
So here they are!

I just love the shape and design of these and of course the colours. I love white trainers, and silver is one of my favourite colours also. As soon as I saw them, I had to have them!

 I wore them the same day I got them, and they are so comfortable! I combined these with a pair of denim skinny jeans, a t-shirt, and my new Adidas hoody :] 

I'd wear these with anything though...leggings and shorts, joggers, skinny jeans, straight jeans, and cuffed jeans, etc.

Nike's make an outfit look cool either way!

I'm currently deciding whether to purchase my own NIKE I.D's... I have already designed a pair, all it needs is for me to take them to the checkout... Watch this space! ;)

CLF lion dance - 21st February 2011

This post is just on the CLF guys doing a short lion demo at Palace Garden for a private party.

Kev got roped into going along on his day off and I was also invited along to get some snaps. (I have now been named the official photographer for CLF) :] woop!

So here's a few pics. The lighting in the restaurant is very poor, so I apologise for that in advance.



Mo :].

'roaaaarrr'

I always enjoy going along to these lion dance demo's that they have and having the opportunity to expand my collection of photos. All of the guys treat me like part of their family which makes my job easier :]

Thanks for checking these out guys!
Much appreciated.

Chinese New Year of the Rabbit / 06 Feb 2011

Firstly, "Kung Hei Fat Choi!" :D ..I hope y'all have had a great one!

Okay, so today wasn't the best of days in terms of weather!! I shot last years CNY celebrations, and had been planning to shoot this years. Usually I wouldn't step out in -degree temperatures and heavy rain combined but I enjoy photographing for the CLF kung fu team, so didn't hesistate! :)

I set my alarm for 08:15 but woke up myself before 08:00, so woke up and had a nice hot cuppa! By this time it was already raining...boo.
Started getting myself ready at 09:00, looked outside and the rain was coming down fast! I left the house by 10:00 and was out in Newcastle at 10:20. At this point, it was reeeeally chucking it down!
Chinatown was empty at that time, but usually its jam packed on a nicer day.

I'd like to just take this chance to say "thanks!" to Nick Shek for bailing out on me too...NAHT! :P

Anyway I wandered around myself whilst CLF were getting ready.  Their first thing was a lion dance outside its home, Fujiyama. Next they brought the Dragon to the Arch (beginning of Chinatown). Then the lion paraded all through Chinatown, a lion dance on stage by Lil Mo and Richard, and then back to Fuji for the finish :)

My lil bro, Mo, in the lion head :D



One last one...



Again, my bro in one of the new lions! :D proud sis!



That's all I'm gonna post!

I'm tired, cold, still a little damp from being out in the rain all day lol...

Hope you've liked these pics! :) thank you guys for taking the time out to read.
