Wedding of Delong & Bee Kim

Congrats to both Delong & BeeKim for their wedding day on 28 Feb 2009. I had known Delong since my day1 voluntary work in Silra Home. Bee Kim joined Joygathering after a year or 2 later. That was how they got to know each other in the home. During the event, we covered tea ceremonies at both homes, and St Teresa Church, as well as their Church wedding.

Result Announced

My "Hello Singapore, Lets Chingay" picture has been standing strong for the past few days. Listed #1 all the way throughout until that evening before closing date, it slided to #2, letting "People with Confetti" standing #1 throughout.
Aiai & myself called all our family members, relatives & friends to vote and getting all our friends to mobilise their friends on line to cast a vote as well but miracle didnt happen. Mid night striked, and my picture stood still at #2.
A little bit of disappointment as I wanted so much to win the first prize. This is my first time taking part in the official national photo competition and I wanted this so much so that it will be a good recognition for my photography career.
Nevertheless, here are the people that I really want to thank from my bottom of my heart:

My beloved Aiai - she has been so supportive from the start till the end. If not because of Aiai, this award will never come near.
- She came up with the idea of going to Chingay since we have never been one.
- She was waving all the times to the performancers so that I will have the eye-to-eye contact for my photos.
- She also suggested to send a few pictures to Xin.sg for the photo competition when she first heard it over the Channel 8 news.
- She helped me to QC and selected 10 pics for submittion. Out of the 10 pics, 8 of them for selected by the sponsors for public voting.
- She had been sms/email/facebook/msn to all her families, relatives & friends to support my pictures and lastly,
- she grap her notebook down to our lobby and search for free wifi to do last minute voting.
Aiai, tho it was only a kiss and a thank you to you last night but all you have done, touches my heart and deep in my soul. Thank you & I love you.

I also want to thank my Ow Pa who also had helped me so much by mobilising his JB & KL clans. After his calls, my picture did went up to #1, but stayed for awhile and it slided to #2. Nevertheless, Ow Pa, thank you thank you thank you for the final boost.
Of coz, Ow Di & Ow Mei whom had been helping me by msn & calling their friends to keep clicking on the vote buttom on my picture. Thanks di & mei.

My dear Su-Yee from KL. Thanks sis. My sis & bro in laws! Thank you all.
And my dear Daddy, whom had clicked over 100 times on the picture. Wow...

Lastly, to all my friends out there, you know who you are.... regardings my buddies, VAGSG/VAGMY friends, SGR gals, Facebook/MSN friends, colleagues, etc... BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ALL !!!!!

Here are some funny statements which I wanna shared with you during this voting season:

Linus: voted! and revoted and revoted... total 10 votes from me... haha! all the best... need a convoy to sunway pyramid??
Meow Meow: Lelong mann!

Eddie: Next time tell me earlier. I will show you the "online voting strategy"
Eddie, again: bro, just go to a few Internet Cafe - get the dudes and dudettes to click for ya!
Jan: i bribe my little bro: "i loan u my pc, u just keep on clicking the vote button every minute" =P
Choon Hong: Ha .. have not look into the source code. Maybe can cheat .. do a endless HTTP Post ... ;)

This episode I learnt alot about kinship & friendship! How everyone has been out there supporting me. Its really priceless! Cant get #1, No worries! Try harder next time!

Chingay Photo Competition

As you all know I was at the Chingay night shooting some pictures and just out of fun, I submitted 10 pictures to the Xin.sg for the photo contest. 8 out of 10 pictures got selected by the sponsors for voting. I was so happy when I saw my pictures in the voting page.

On 18 Feb, my Chingay picture is already standing No1 against all other 180 pictures and many others of my pictures are also ranking top 10 right now.

Please continue to vote for me, cast some votes on my pictures. The closing date is coming Tues, 24 Feb. Hopefully, I can get into the top 3 and walk away a return ticket to KL! ;-)

与神共游

This is proberly the most happening festival I even attended - 游神 in Johor Bahru. It happens every 21st day of the Lunar New Year and Ow Di invited me to go with him, for the very first time. The event started 7pm and last till 2am. According to the morning papers, more than 300,000 Chinese took part in the event, either came to witness this grand event, if not, to participate in the festival.



Together with 古龙, Ow Di, Aiai & me, we walked from the 古庙 to City Square which was about 8km and with my 3.5kg of equipment and a pair of slippers, its really no joke. When we reached City Square, saw Ow Pa leading the City Square clan and keep shouting "世界第一 " to the performers! What a night!

Here are some pictures of the festival, Enjoy.

For the very first time, its my first time holding a M16... oppsss.. I meant, a shortgun and firing at objects! Yep, thanks to Eddie, who organized this Trap outing for us. About 10 of us (including some Eddie's frens whom we had not met). Shooting was fun but kinda expensive game. 1 round costed me $65. But its worth trying for the first time.

Ouch! Did I even mention I got 'blue-black' on my right shoulder muscle after the game? ;-)

Club July & My Aiai little bday party

I had this honour to shoot this lovely Bistro called Club July, located at the back of Bishan Sports Complex. The lady boss, Freda, needs some pictures for their upcoming website and these pictures will be used. Thanks to Aaron meow meow for recommending us to this cozy corner where its a nice place to chill out with some friends for cold beer, fresh cakes, a game of pool or even karaoke! They specialised in western and local food and hey, they do Zi Chai too and please insist on their beef stirred with young ginger & onions. Thats my favourite!
