3Q MRC Annual Concert 2011

Time flies, another year to see those same toddlers grow fast and graduate. A very tight and good timing schedule to go on smoothly during the session. Capturing kids always fun and interesting. Laugh is impossible to get rid of. Some are cooperative and some will show you sour face.

I particularly love to capture their faces, especially the lively moment. The arrangement, queue-up session and their sometimes-mess-up dancing session produce a lot of laughs, not only for their caring parents but as photographer, I can't resist to laugh out loud during capturing. The joy is radiating in all angles.

Some of my favourite capture of their lively moment.

Welcome to Haiwaii

Meets US Colleagues

Especially thanks to Bhawani for great half day trip plan with our US colleagues!

Our first destination - Jerejak island which is located within our view sight along our driving route to office. It was indeed hot sunny day like oven (arhhh... I didn't push the blame, mind your logical thinking please!). Well, the photos captured without any CPL filter. (CPL - circular polarizer. No idea? I'm busy, explain to you later)

Initially, Lay Hong and Bhawani blamed me for not giving them 1-2-3 to signal for smiling. Mitch became the one who was not ready. Haha!



Before departure, of course a group photo must be taken.



Penang Jerejak Island! The plane... the plane... the plane... (Do you remember what movie is that? :-P)



My first spyshot above shoulder without looking at viewfinder - new way of shooting silently. Handsome and natural, right? Look at the facial expression - unexpected hiking. I was attacked by mosquito.



Phobia? Excited? Or Happy?



Mitch's eyes are very sharp. I didn't even see the snake.





Spicy prawns with special brewed beer. Not me. I took Mango lassi - I swear I tell you the truth.



Too hungry, I whacked a full bowl of Briyani rice. Indeed delicious!



After very hot sunny day, the best to have is to go to Penang hill to enjoy cooler environment and have a chilling beer!



Not dawn, it's evening time.



Great team work!~ Psss... they didn't hike but using 4WD to reach the top :-P Sorry Eric, this was the best extreme low light shot I got. Please blame Chang Lee's fingers :-)

Where is Mitch? Oh... mama Bhawani went away to get Big Kid.

Chia Wei & Chiong Weng Wedding

First time entered Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, the architectural design indeed to make me drop my jaw. Very antique-feel and well-maintained. I was lucky indeed to involve in one of the photo-shooting assignment team. Including the raw setup and thanks a lot to my team who have shown understanding on my leaving half-way when I received my daughter was sick. Below are some shots from my eyes.

Gathering with "kaki"

Not easy to retain friendship and connection as time flew for 2 years. This also proves that time proves your friendship level with someone whom you knew previously.  I always feel grateful - I still able to find that kind of connection.

Had supper as usual - let's get fat little. The most interesting moment is talking on photography and gears, especially film. Beside that, of course adult topic continue to fuel on laugh, without this - this reduces the momentum to move on in various kind of topics :-)

All shots done using Samsung NV24 camera :-)

Till we have another session to meet up and talk "birdy" topics :-P

北马谢氏宗祠 (North Malaya) Cheah Si Chong Soo

Gathering with gangs

Friendship is something very unique. The connection within and the cohesiveness that is unexplainable in words. Let the time tells... it's always good to have gang to gather around, be it an hour or just a simple meal to chit chat around. Especially those already married with small kids or babies, you find yourself is having lots of limitation and consideration to pop out to meet up. Fully understand. Anyway, I personally wish to have this gathering monthly to sustain the connection with you all. Whether or not, we have a long chat or just a few minutes chat... I fully enjoy the environment. Yup - I know I'm a bit uncle-type that keeps on mumbo-jumbo. Take good care and see you around in next meet up :-)

The Gang


We really had a good time and good meals!

Spaghetti - forgot the exact name


Fish fingers & chips


Totally forgot what meal is that... fried tofu? :-P


The Killing - Clam Chowder soup - my favourite :-)

3Q MRC Annual Concert 2009

It was last October month for my daughter's annual concert. Every kid has the passion to present beautifully, especially you can sense this vividly. Parents were all around to watch their lovely children to show off at stage.

You can't find seriousness on stage performance. Why? What do you expect 3-year-old kid to present in pro way? :-) The whole performance was fun and full of laughs.

Below are some interesting captures.

Kids are normally imaginative and creative. Look! Flowers!


I checked with teacher why suddenly this young lady cried on stage. Due to they played the incorrect song in the beginning, this young lady unable to accept and stunned with crying respond. Teacher need to comfort her to calm down afterward.


Bumble Bee (Stop! I'm not from Transformer!)


Come on! Let's Swing!


Angels - reminds me David Tao's Angel song


Rest and ready


Give me FIVE!


Kids normally will have lots of facial expression! No fool, they are not camera shy~ If they do, they bluff only :-)


Proud Parents to capture their kids' moment

Family Day Event

In conjuction with 3Q Family Day Event during mid-June, I managed to cover partially and capture a few interesting shots during the event. It was crowded with toddlers ranged from 3-6 Years old. Parents were excited and full-care towards their precious children.

Toddlers were enjoying the games organized with the help of both teachers and organizer's committees.
