Love black and whites now days. Also love the dynamics of this frame!!

About six years ago, I met a bunch of amazing people, who kept telling me that I reminded them of this fun, loud, bubbly, outgoing, Asian chick who lived in Berala that they knew of. They kept throwing her name out once in a while... Audrey this... Audrey that...

Fast forward a few years; at the beginning of year I had the pleasure of helping out with an Infants (K-2) Summer School Program with CMS. I met a ton of fantastic individuals and was able to help teach approx 220 infants about Jesus. Prior to this, I was really anxious about helping out, as I never really knew how to interact and relate to kids (Yes, that comes as a big surprise to many). However, from day one, I had a bunch of gorgeous Eurasian, Asian and Caucasian kids hang out with me - I keep thinking that this is a glimpse to the future; that perhaps I will be the proud mother of gorgeous Eurasian kids one day. God willing *wink*. One of the kids that was constantly by my side was named Calvin. He told me all about his family. It was pretty sweet... He would stand beside me, with his hands clasped behind his back, looking up at me and giving me the whole spill on his family. He kept insisting that his mother and I knew each other. He kept saying her name... Audrey... Do you know Audrey? That name sounded strangely familiar...

A week later, after the program, I received a msg on facebook from this Audrey... She thanked us for our efforts in looking after the Infants and also mentioned that Calvin was rather taken by me. Awwh! We sent a ton of messages back and forth - and it was through these messages that I realised that this was THAT Audrey! My twin sister separated at birth (and a couple of years *wink*). Since then, I have found a close friend and a mentor in her. I love our coffee catch ups and sharing our lives together. Our lives are ridiculously uncanny.

For the past few months, I've been getting to know her beautful family. They invited me over for brunch the other day and I brought along my camera. I don't typically do this, but I really wanted to photograph her family. Audrey wanted natural, "every day" photographs of her family and we had a blast shooting these!!

I look forward to seeing them again... It's sweet that the kids now know me as Ling Ling.

I really enjoyed hanging out with the family. I would love to do more shoots like these in the future. I rock up with a camera, eat, drink and chill out with the family - while I snap up some photos. Please contact me if you are keen on me hanging out with your family! :D

This is my last week "off" before a crazy few months ahead. I am trying my best to organise a bunch of meetings, shoots and prep for all the weddings from now til March next year. At the same time, I can't wait to try out a couple of recipes that I've got waiting on my "must cook" list...

[shameless plug] For regular updates please "Like" my facebook page and please tell your friends about me, I'm needy for your attention. HA! [/shameless plug] I'm such a loser.
