Good day, As normal begining part of the introduction, my name is Edwin Tan…..
Back in May 2007, when I bought my first DSLR Canon 400D, my intention was to record the precious moments for my family. 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 I 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 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 one of the master of wedding photographers in Malaysia, Zung, ThePhotoz’s workshop, the slideshow that Zung show us really touched me and it turn out to be my passion and my part time job now. 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.

Today, one of my senior staff in my shipping company resigned. She reported to me for the past 3.5 years as quality audit executive. However, due to her husband’s job transfer, she have to move back to Lumut. During the farewell, she cried and hug everyone in my Japan Team and even my assistance manager was crying and when my staff turn over to me, they don’t understand why I never cry and not even any tear in my eyes..well, I did, for 3 seconds..being shipping manager for more than 10 years, I seen staff come and go, my close workmate resign and join other companies. To be frank, I never cry, not even during my own resignation on a company which I work for more than 6 years. okok, may be a tear drop or two. So, now my question to myself, am i dead inside? am I iron-man as what my HR manager told me just now?
I am not, I am just a guy who never good in expressing my feeling and let it out. I always keep things inside me…that is just me…a Pisces man.
For Gee, the staff who resign today, I wish you all the best for your future and a happy family life, I am glad you are with us for the past few years, helping us go thru the hard time and good time in Japan Team. Eventhough I never say it in front of all the staff, I truly think you are an excellent staff. All the Best!
