Hi followers...

well... in this around 9 months of time... a lot had happened... will try to follow up as much as possible within this post...
JAN 2010
Bought my first D-SLR, the Nikon D3000. The pics below are courtesy of this SLR i have... enjoy!
Arriving KL after the fucking MAS delays... the next morning before driving down to JB, we had breakfast with Allan...
Celebrated my birthday with Heather who came over to johor bharu... stayed at this J Hotel. very nice place. recommended!
Heather, shy off the lense... well i just got this SLR 2 weeks before she came over... had the most memorable birthday so far ever...
Thanks to her that made this year a very special one...
having lunch at McD. had the ring fries(i totally forgot what its called already... XD)
FEB 2010
CNY season...
well Heather wasnt with me during this period... but still this year, i had a long holiday and fortunately had a bunch of friends all coming back from overseas, made it such a fun ones...
Fireworks! cant miss this every CNY although its illegal here in Malaysia, but whats a CNY without one huh?
My MAS flight being prep before taking off from KLIA!
This is Rona, holding our boarding passes for flight KL-MYY
Allan posing with his modified van...
sweet ride!
The simple family Reunion dinner... steamboat with my dad's specialty sup tulang!
Another shot at fireworks... this one was captured from my best friend, chun hau's place... one of the biggest i have seen in my life...
another element that completes a CNY... Lion dance! there is another one, the Dragon dance, but unfortunately, i dun have my cam at those times...
Visiting my good friend, Kelvin's house... super huge, super comfy, super food! thanks for the hospitality!
Ah... Gear talks there... XD
Towards the end of CNY, my sis and I experienced a bad delay... 12 hours delay! and i have to say, screw MAS Malaysian's Hospitality... No system, impolite ground staff! No wonder everyone flies with Air Asia nowadays...
But anyway... as the flight got delayed for 12 hours, and within these hours, Heather got back to Miri from KK... i took this opportunity to drive down to Senadin from the airport to hook up with her...

Well... the journey havent been nice as well... our car went on a over-heating problem half-way on the PLUS High-way... and shortly after this, there was some motherfuckers who tried to rob us off our ride... but Praise the Lord, all is good. Nothing lost, no one hurt...
MARCH 2010
Well its pass my 2010 1st semester's exam and i went back to Miri...
The beaches is the play that heather likes the most... and well that trip, i promise her that i would spend 5 days with her on the beach just dating...
Waiting for the sunset after we did the shot below...

APRIL 2010
Start of the 2nd Semester 2010... Now at this time, I was kinda just started to get a hang of the life here in Skudai, Johor Bharu. A lot of stuff a different here and the funny/embarasing part is, I am forced to "re-learnt" my mandarin and upgrade my level on it... XD. and the people here likes to play as long as it involves water... :ϸ
Went to Melaka for a one day trip there...
Jonker Walk! the sculpture at the start of the walk...
Resting on the Red Building. The historical building in Melaka...
Our group expect me behind the lense having a group photo!
Bomb the motherfuckers! MWAhaHAhaHAhaHAha!
This is the playing with water thingy i mentioned earlier... this was the start of the orientation night gathering...
Greet the Station leader, first thing, get wet...
Lost in a round of game, getting more wet...
Third round, all wet, and not have to blow the ping pong ball out of the cup filled with water...
While doing the juggling... more water please!
And ends with everyone looking really wet... just before they go home... XD!
Love Life!
MAY 2010
Was covering my school's graduation dinner. A fun filled event and a big congrats to the organizers for the success of the event... below are some shots of the event... enjoy!
Enjoying his dance performance.
The food. Nice, nice and very nice! although there were a problem of poor estimation, but still return home with a full stomach.
Some key chain for memory at the registration counter!
Unfortunately these are the only shots that i am gonna share in this post...
Well... at this point, life was back to normal... WHY? you might be asking. Well, my faithful speed lite went haywired late in the month of May... hence at that point, going out taking pictures was really a disappointment, thought me a very good lesson though that brought me to the next event that is going to unfold shortly, the lesson is: Good lighting is the other half beside a good camera in a photographer's journey...
Fast Forward to August 2010!
Now the big upgrade! My very own home based portrait studio i open for business... Still a lot of arrangements and also setting up to do as I am writing this post, but all in all, its open for all sorts of portraits: personal portraits, fashion portraits, product shots, convocation portraits etc etc...
