More glassware photos. You wouldn’t think that this shot was at ISO3200 and 1/5000s (heh, left it at the uber high ISO during my friend’s wedding dinner due to the poor indoor lighting). Luckily I checked the settings after the shot and realised how wrong the shutter speed looked.

Brought cousin to Yering Station at the Yarra Valley for lunch before visiting a cherry farm to feast on and pick cherries.

It’s been hectic. Mom was here a couple of weeks ago. Cousin from New Zealand was here for a week and just left this morning. Have some other relatives here for my cousins’ graduations, and there’s Christmas parties lined up for the next two weeks.

Had a double shot piccolo latte with Jerome at Seven Seeds near my place. It was an interesting experience, with the coffee smelling like fermented fruit and leaving a fruity aftertaste. For a concentrated shot of coffee in a 90ml glass, it was not sour/bitter but tasted just nice. Jerome thinks it might be a double shot ristretto, where the espresso shot is cut short so you don’t get the full 60ml of liquid normally associated with a double shot.

Been swimming a little more these days and feel pretty comfortable in the water these days. When I first started, I’d reach one end of the pool and just idle for a minute to catch my breath. Now I can hold my breath longer and zip up and down the swimming lane with little effort. Going for a run is definitely more taxing on the body, but at least I exercise my entire body while swimming.

Heh, haven’t been sleeping enough of late. Guess I’m going to turn in early.
