Being Chinese, I much prefer having the whole fish option instead of fish fillet; in my opinion, it's more beautiful to serve the whole fish too!! 🐟 πŸ˜‹πŸ΄ #foodies #sydneyfoodies #foodphoto #foodphotography #currentlyeating #seafood #fish #rainbowtrout #trout #fishforlunch #idrb #instalunch #bondibeach #comedinewithme #dishoftheweek #dishoftheday #yum #yummy #freshfood #whitecaviarlife

Although it's our 2nd month of autumn, we are having temperatures between 27C to 32C this week. It seems that summer has decided to stay a little (or perhaps a lot) longer!! β˜€πŸ™Œ Photography by @iamkentjohnson πŸ™πŸ™ #summerdontgo #nocomplaints #weekendaway #weekendvibes #weekend #fan #jungle #tropical #wanderluster #fblogger #headshot #strikeapose #currentlywearing #smokyeyes #strips #kentjohnsonphotography

The day we joined the crowds in a 4C spring chill... Kent and I bought a plate of the traditional street food - open hardwood fire, cook and smoked pork; cheered with our drinks. Cold local beer for Kent and a small cup of the super rich, hot chocolate for me. Just the thing while looking over the vibrant, vividly decorated Old Town Square Easter Markets and happily soaking up the festive atmosphere... πŸ‡πŸ‡πŸ‡πŸ‡πŸ‡ Photography by @iamkentjohnson #prague #visitprague #praguetourism #oldtownsquare #pragueeastermarkets #easter #easterholiday #iloveprague #traveller #travel #wanderlust #wanderluster #travelphoto #picoftheday #spring #praguespring #markets #tradition #oldtown #kentjohnsonphotography #whitecaviarlife

Vivienne Shui

Way back when I was 9 years old, I started location scouting after school. I'd organise anyone I knew; from family members to school friends to collaborate on self-styled self portraits with me. I became a published author in my early 20's in Taiwan, but that didn't mean I stopped making my self portraits. I guess I took it to the next level by getting photographers to shoot my self-styled portrait - at the locations I chose. I wrote for young adults, the main publishers I worked for were Morning Star Publishing Inc. and The Theater Publisher Inc. I was also a guest writer and travel journalist for Taiwan's Travel Trend Magazine. Moving back to Sydney in year 2000, I worked as a translator including translated British author Anna Maxted's 'How To Seduce Your Dream Man' ( by Harper Collins Publishers Ltd. )from English to Chinese. My Chinese translation was published by Morning Star Publishing Inc. in 2002. Before I discovered the blog, I could not imagine combining ALL my passions on one platform: self-styling; self portrait; location shoot and writing stories. I have finally found a stage for them all! No matter if I'm writing for one reader or one hundred readers; my dream is fulfilled. Right here, right now!
