If you are a regular reader, you should have always seen the same girl appearing in many of my photos.

JCH Street Pan 400 (2017)
Her name is Emilia Yoyo and she’s my bestest friend. It’s her birthday today and I would like to delicate a blog post to her.
Emilia is from Hong Kong and we met in our alma mater Newcastle University in UK. We are both biomedical scientists and she’s currently pursuing her PhD in Singapore.
Although she looks very young, you might be surprised she’s turning 23! Haha!!! Old hack
Yes, what’s good friend without teasing.
Emilia has a heart made of gold. She always put others before herself and tries to help in any way possible.
If you haven’t already know, Emilia is my model who let me practise Portraits Photography. In this way, I learn how to ask a model to pose and she gets lots of photos 🙂

平溪,Kodak Portra 400 (2017)
As she’s here alone in Singapore, I am her only relative. My parents always see her as their own daughter and took good care of her. In the same way, her parents are also very nice to me. So, I can afford to visit Hong Kong frequently, teehee.

Anyway, I hope Emilia will always be like a sunshine to others, even though other might not see your good yet. You know, be like a Lotus, even though you are budding from muddy soil, in the end, you will bloom and shine.
Let no other’s mindless words harm you. They are as good as a sandpaper, every time they hurt you, you get polished, but they end up being a trash.
Be carefree.
Be hopeful.
Be yourself.
