So I got a disposable camera while I went to Hong Kong a few months back. My DSLR lens died on me. It was the best I could do,
because I was far too broke to salvage by getting a new camera lens. I was definitely hesitant about using a film camera,
but the shots turned out rather well. Photos below are scanned and entirely unedited.

1. Frequent visits to arab street or 'Fabric Runs' as we call it. Arab street is one at the top of my go-to list when it comes to fabric shopping for school projects and such. Far far far more interesting to shop at than Chinatown.
2. Temple hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the city in Bugis. Me and Tim stumbled upon this heartland heaven while being lost that one scorching hot afternoon.
3. Hong Kong ferry rides in the evening would result to catching the most pretty skies you could imagine. Too bad my photography skills were too crap to capture it anyhow. But really, the gentle rocks of the ocean gave each ride to the city a different experience every time.
4. Dim Sum in Hong Kong is nothing compared to dim sum anywhere else, here we see empty plates, half eaten siew mais and untouched liu sha buns that me and Grace gorged that one hungry afternoon. This photo is so bad that its good. Hah!
5. Random street shot of central Hong Kong. I still remembered someone telling me to not waste my films on these 'non photogenic' streets. But it turned out to be one of my favorite shots taken during the trip.
6. Neon lights shine during the wee hours of Hong Kong nights. This was taken near our hotel at about 3am. The grainy effects are from my dusty scanner, but I could care less.
7. Candid of Tim, when we were out running about. I really like it, captures his most natural facial expression. Photo is pasted right by my bed so I wake up to his face each day.
