My photos featured

Well, as mentioned in my previous post, here are the pictures which got me my latest camera

The one below from Penang Thaipusam 2010 got me the 50% for the Canon EOS 550D. Wish it was free but this is one heck of a camera. I will probably write about it in my coming post.

This photo was taken during the Penang Georgetown World Heritage Day and this photo was one of the featured photo in Digital SLR Photograhy Malaysia magazine for the month of September 2010. Though I didn't win, it really is great to see ones image being featured in a magazine. It just makes you want to go out and take even more beautiful pictures (of course I hope to win the big prize too). Do leave comments.

So long no post

Wow, it has been one heck of a year, full of ups and downs but I think its finally on the positive uptrend now, so I'm back to being more active here again now.

This year in photography have been quite lucky for me

A photo won me a 50% voucher to get a Canon 550D - my first highlight in any contests

Then this month, finally a photo I submitted to Digital SLR Photography Magazine Malaysia got selected to be in print (though not a winner but I guess having something printed in a magazine is always nice).

Will share those 2 photos in my upcoming posts.

Also recently been really busy adapting to a new job.....

Actual Day ~ 3 January 2010

3 January 2010 ~ CS & Sin Yee

I have to apologize for this very belated post to CS and Sin Yee. Its been a crazy January and February with work and family matter. But finally, I have gotten this long belated blog for CS and Sin Yee up and running.
I got to know CS from one of my previous clients Queenie, and got to met both of them last year. They are truly a very sweet couple, and they are also very lucky :) Won lots of wedding contests!
I reached Sin Yee's place about 6am and the makeup artist beat me to her home .... hahah. Missed it by minutes. Anyway, got of to a great start early in the morning and the weather turned out to be great! I really had a wonderful time and thanks to everyone for treating me so well. You both are really superb, and I wish you both a forever love! Stay in touch always and of course, some previews here. More at the gallery. Enjoy.

Taipei, Taiwan November 2009

Well, couldn't believe my luck when I managed to get some really cheap tickets to Taiwan this year. The trip last year was really rush and this time we spent 9 days in Taipei :) Yes, a really long time. Would like to thank my good friend Sam & his wife Rudy, and his lovely kids Peter and Rita for having us stay over at their home all this holiday.
We just traveled mainly to places accessible by bus mostly. On weekends, Sam did bring us to further places such as Jiu Fen and Yingge. So I will elaborate more in the pictures that follow. I have uploaded these to my gallery and each picture is accompanied by comments.
I would like to say that its really easy getting around Taipei via their public transport. Bus is cheapest, at TWD15 per sector to a maximum of TWD30 per trip. Draw back is that its slower. MRT is fast but goes to limited places and cost minimum TWD20.
As for food, this place is a food haven. The amount and variety is just so great. Over our 9 days, we were eating like crazy. The favourite we think would be the buffet steamboat which has Haagen Daz as dessert. Yes, free flow quality food and dessert at a very affordable TWD 480 per pax. Absolutely a bargain.
Because of these experiences, I would like to propose to couples, if any would like to have their pre-wedding taken in Taipei and its surrounding counties. Its really a beautiful place. Just pay for flights, accommodation and food for 2 person and photography is free from me. For enquiries, do email me.
Cheers and enjoy the pictures.
