Devonport is a harbourside suburb of Auckland, New Zealand. It is located at the North Shore, at the southern end of a peninsula that runs southeast from near Lake Pupuke in Takapuna, forming the northern side of the Waitemata Harbour. East of Devonport lies North Head, the northern promontory guarding the mouth of the harbour.
The population of Devonport and the joining suburb of Cheltenham was 5,337 in the 2006 Census, an increase of 126 since 2001. With the additional suburb of Stanley Bay, Vauxhall and Narrow Neck, the 2006 population was 11,142.
The suburb hosts the Devonport Naval Base of the Royal New Zealand Navy, the main facility for the country's naval vessels, but is best known for its harbourside dining and drinking establishments and its heritage charm. In its scenery and setting, Devonport has been compared to Sausalito, California.
This little town is very peaceful and of course, less crowded as compared to the capital, Auckland. The peoples and the entire surroundings are giving you a peace of mind, I was walking alone, accompanying by my IPod and feeling the place. I was totally rejuvenated and being charged with a lot of positive energies from the surroundings. I walked for hours without feeling any exhaustion. Travelling to me is the best way of throwing away whatever negativities in you, in exchange of positivities.
This is the 2nd time that I brought my Canon EOS 400D to outport, to know him better and to let him know me better. And so far, everything worked out quite well and he has helped me to deliver a lot of satisfactory pictures. Thank you "CAN" (his name)! I will be bringing him with me to explore the world.
I personally like this shot so much. By having CAN with me, my skills has reached another higher level, a level that a digital camera will never be able to bring me to. I am getting more into a real world of photography now. 
After taking thousands of pictures, I seriously realised that I can blend so well in the natural scenery of blue sky, white cloud, blue sea, green field and the sun, this combination just make a perfect picture.
I had my shirt off for an even tan.
View of Auckland city from Devonport, amazing!
After spending the whole day in Devonport, I went back to Auckland and had Korean dinner with my colleagues and went up to the Sky Tower. This was my 3rd time flying to Auckland, and it's only my first time going up to the Sky Tower for the fantastic view of the city. I took this shot at the Main Observatory Deck, there's another Upper Deck with binoculars and restaurants & cafe in the Lower Deck. It's totally free for CX crew to go up, one of our benefits.
Look at the transparent glass on the floor, they are as thick and as strong as the concrete, absolutely safe to stand on it, just the look-through glass giving you a fear of height to stand on it.

As usual, my grandma was the chef preparing everything from waking up early to go to the market to buy whatever is needed for the steamboat, accompanied by my grandpa, to cooking the soup and preparing the ingredients. She will be busying the whole day, infact started few days before without asking anyone to help nor complaining that no one's helping her. My grandma has been the one who's always giving without asking, I love her so much, everyone of us do. 
Her soup for steamboat is simply the BEST, I couldn't have tasted it anywhere else.
My little sister is getting more feminine
My beloved grandparents
I love you so much, grandma!
My beloved ones
Grandma took out the old albums, having looked through the old pictures when grandparents were still young, my grandpa were a handsome charming guy when he was young, we were telling grandma how lucky she was to be chosen.
One of my dad's teenage pictures, I looked exactly like him, even my brother couldn't tell it's dad, thinking it's me.
