I am Malaysia Wedding Photographer with current professional photographer associations joined: AGWPJA, WPJA, WPPI & PPA. From the very beginning when I bought my first DSLR Canon 400D in May 2007, my intention was to record the moments for my family and the growth of my lovely pair of kiddo. I was in photography classes during my study in The One Academy back in 1990’s when I was teenager. During film time. I still remember the time spend on developing film, and photo outing at dataran merdeka to capture the magic hour moments. Everything was so exciting and I fall in love with photography since then even it was just a semester with less than 13 classes. However, due to financial problem, I have to quit The One Academy and join a gas industry. As developing films are very expensive at that point of time, I have to hold back my interest on photography After all these years, when i am back into photography, I started shooting portrait and some still life and same time was thinking may be marco photography will be my choice..However, in July 2007, after I join the workshop organized by one of the master of wedding photographers in Malaysia, the slideshow that he showed to us really touched me and it turn out to be my passion and my part time job. I love wedding photography so much and it is the most satisfied moment for me when I see how the couple appreciate and happy about the images and moments that I capture for them no matter how tired I am at the end of the shooting session.

A journal of a Malaysia Wedding Photographer to his Amanda and Benjamin
Thanks to Patrick who ask me to join this event
few times for the last 2 weeks and of course all my sifu, masters who guide me thru since the day I am in wedding photography and all the judges of the day….This means a lot to me….truly appreciation from the bottom of my heart
This afternoon, after back Kuching Trip with Jospeh and Wan Yee’s Prewedding shoots during weekend, I brought both Amanda & Benjamin to our swimming pool which I have arrange earlier with the swimming teacher, Elise for their 1st ever swimming class. According to my neighbour Sarah who initial the swimming classes for her son Daniel, Elise is our national swimmer. Lets hope they can learn from her. I told them, one day if your daddy is drown, make sure you know how to save me. One Fortune Teller told me before that when I was old, I might died because of water..hahah,but of course that is not the reason I send them for swimming classes. Most important, this is a good exercise for them especially they are weak and easy to get flu and cough, this will help them o build up a stronger body and healthy life style.
It has been more almost eight years since my last trip to Genting, told myself, too many unhappy thing happen to me on every single visits and the last visit, we even stay in a haunted apartment which freak me out till now. Few days back, my Amanda keep asking me to bring her to visit Genting as all her friends and schoolmate been there before. My parents decide to make a trip during 1st day of Raya and ask if I want to follow them. After months of spending my time on editing photos and personal problem, I decide to put aside all my outstanding albums (sorry brides,just for one day… I need it badly) and spend some time with my family..
Morning itself, as usual, pack my camera and prepare my kids, lets DO IT…. Genting, here I come…
The trip was fun and relaxing…of course, excluding those games which need to queue for hours before our turns……
At the end of the trip, after the last game, Flying Dragon, I have found my PDA phone not working and giving me error message of missing sim card… ooh Genting.. why must you leave one bad memory to me before I call it a day……
my mum ask me why took photo of her hand.. but these are the hand who raise me up, how could i not document them in my memories
okok, lets continue to edit wedding photos… tomorrow need to get my mobile for repair…. sigh
Few weeks ago, when I discuss with Joshua on our website profile, I notice that I have not been taken any photos of myself. I always have excuses that I don’t like to be photographed and that is why I am a photographer, who hide behind the camera so that others will not captured my face.. (well, I am not photogenic and handsome, that is why I am camera shy person hahahah) In order to work on our portrait, last weekend, Joshua and I decided to rent a studio for shooting portrait of ourselves for our website profile page.
Below are some of the photos taken by Joshua at DailyLifestyle Studio. Thanks bro…. I will edit your photos later and post it in my blog ya… hahahhaa
Today we celebrate Amanda’s 8th years old birthday as her actual date is on this coming Wednesday 31st July 2008. We bought her a Jelly’s cake from The Ikano Power Center Shopping Mall. I didnt really get her a birthday present and spend time with both Amanda & Benjamin today as I was again out for shooting wedding dinner. I will make sure I get her a birthday gift by this Wednesday itself.
