The best part is, there is no specific subject you have to shoot on, just make sure that the photo encapsulates a “Priceless Moment” of yours!
The following is one of my “Priceless Moments”.
In that moment, that very motion stops and is captured in a picture.
If a particular picture could make you think back about that moment, that IS a priceless moment.
I was in Korea, in the vicinity of the hotel, and wanted to try out some Korean food.
“At this very moment in this picture, I was savoring one of the rice cakes shaped like sausages. I remember that it tasted so spicy, I immediately asked for a bottle of water from the vendor.”
Another photo in Korea,
I was in Gyeongbokgung Palace, and I was with power bloggers from over the world. One of them from Engadget, Nick was taking a picture of the stone tablet, and this korean kid was walking by, glancing at him. I remember that at that point of time I was VERY cold and the temperature was at –5 degrees!
Yet another one in Korea.
“Deciphering the coded messages with my team mates. It was something like an ‘Amazing Race’. I was dressed like a dumpling!”
Have you got ideas yet?
As you can see from mine, you can snap virtually anything just that it has to be related to the theme.
Look through your pics and get searching for your most Priceless Moment!

NOISE SINGAPORE 2010.
Sponsored Advertorial
Hey people!
I’ve something to share with you guys.
Have you guys heard of Noise yet?
No?
So what’s this NOISE all about?
Many youths now are actually hidden gems that don’t have a place to express their creative talents. Now they have a chance to do so.
Noise Singapore is Singapore’s foremost youth festival, dedicated to create awareness of the talents of youths below the age of 35, in the areas Art & Design, Music, and Photography.
It is the foremost platform in Singapore to discover and nurture talented, creative Singaporean youths, give them the recognition they deserve, and get them spotted for their creative talents
Currently there’s a showcase going on at Raffles City!
MRT: City Hall
When: 26 Feb-10 Mar 2010, 11am to 9.30pm
Admission: Free
Went to the showcase recently, and it was great!
There were some concepts in the showcase, like the photography studio,
along with a makeup table,
Art studio for the artsy fartsies,
A music recording studio, where all the audiophiles gather,
Viewers get a chance to experience hands on, and design something and experience the creation process.
I think this is REALLY COOL! I didn’t have a chance to try this out though! Too busy taking photos!
Design something and get it posted on the wall! I expect all of you guys to try, because IT IS FREE and you get to showcase your very own talent too!
ANYONE can do this!
Within the showcase are some 400 pieces selected from over 9000 submissions!
There’s also this Apprenticeship programme,
whereby the apprentice gets a mentor, and gets professional guidance. Showcase are some of their final projects.
Here are some of my fav pieces!
This talented young man took pictures of things happening at different timings at the very same location.
Fantastic way to record time, because in every picture, that very moment lasts an eternity.
Grace, the person who showed us around, was talking to me about this piece, and I found the idea real creative. It was something about the world is filled with candy canes and everything nice, unexpected misfortune could happen so we should not take anything for granted.
Figure it out yourself at the showcase!
And then, for those crazy people that just can’t leave a place empty-handed,
Yes there’s a mini store within that showcase.
Pieces with the tags “FOR SALE” are ON SALE!
Check it out at the showcase.

LG Flatron W2486L Monitor
Hi everyone! This is Lionel, Shawn’s younger brother, writing about this LG monitor given to us for a review.
So here’s the LG Flatron W2486L monitor!
Here’s the specification for this monitor:
Widescreen (16:9)
2ms Well, a big monitor is not just for you to put it at home and show off to other people! Having such big screen really enables you to multitask and do things more comfortable!
If your monthly bills always goes KAAA-BOOOM! Fear not! Because this monitor has the energy saving technology which will help you save a lot of energy more than what you expect!
If you always have multi MSN conversation, I think this monitor will best fit you! It’s kind of annoying when there’s so many people talking to you all at the same time and you will have to entertain them all at one goal. It’s even more annoying when you have to alt + tab to select your conversation and sometimes you might end up with the wrong conversation.
So, this 24″ Monitor can be your lifesaver and save all those troubles.
With this wide screen, kiss goodbye to all those troubles!
All four conversation can be fit nicely to this screen AND not only that, the conversation windows is also not all cramp up together! You can chat with your friends easily and comfortably!
Next, if you’re like me, a crazy fan of those idol dramas, you can watch whole day while surfing your net or chatting with your friends!
Here’s a picture of me watching a Taiwanese drama called ‘autumn’s concerto’ while keeping myself update regularly through facebook! *Superb Convenient!*
That way, you will be able to watch your dramas while doing some other things!
Having this 24″ monitor is really a time saver too!
IF you’re also an anime freak like me, you can watch High definition episode with this ‘Full HD’ technology included in this monitor!
Pictures of watching an anime called ‘Naruto Shippuuden’ with HD quality!
Imagine that you’re watching an anime without HD monitor. All you’ll be seeing is boxes of blurry pixel which will only annoy you.
If you’re a movie freak like me too, this monitor is a must-buy monitor!
Pictures of a Blu-Ray movie called ‘Transformers 2′
Just look at the graphics! It’s just OMG!
With the HD technology and the recent LED backlit LCD technology, it provides a more superior technology that provides clearer, crisper and a more colour accurate image!
If you’re an obsessed gamer, who plays games that requires high graphics, I STRONGLY recommend this monitor!
Pictures of me playing ‘Bioshock2′.
Just look at the HD effects! It just made gaming so real!
With it’s combined technology of LED backlit, full HD 1080p, a 1920 x 1080 HD resolution, widescreen, less than 4.9ms respond time, 16.7 million colors and a contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1, it just made your gaming experience like
NEVER BEFORE!
If you’re still in dilemma about which monitor to buy, think no more! Whether you’re a gamer, movie freak or a crazy multi tasker, this is the right choice for you!
