Yes, this is a dream to me, I daydream a lot and let me share with you a few of my dreams here. I always dream of creating a website to record every moments of my life and share with my kiddo when their grow up one day and also dream about carrying my cameras and travel around the world, see the world thru my eye,yes, I love travel, it is my ultimate dream to travel around the world, learning thru travel is the best dream I ever have. Dream is an initial point to me. It help me to look at what I really want in my life. As Malaysia Wedding Photographer with international wedding photography membership (WPJA, AGWPJA, WPPI & PPA), I started my photography passion at the end of year 2007. Like most of the beginners, I was purely having fun with my DSLR capturing my family members portraits and events. After attend the talk by one of the master wedding photographer, it change my whole world. I was so touched by the slideshow shown on the projector for the showcase of prewedding and church wedding, the touching moments, the dramatic angles, all these impact was so strong that it hit direct into my heart and awake my passion towards wedding photography. From there onwards, I have focus all my passion on wedding photography and never feel more satisfied when I capture the moments for couple which last for a life time. Whenever I imagine the couple looking back those photos captured by me in ten, fifteen years from now and think, "yeah, that was the moments" "look, how silly you was!" "oh, I cried when I first saw you walks down the aisle i", "yes, I remember what your dad told me that day when he placed your hand in my right hand from his arm after walks down the aisle".. all these keep my heart warm and keep me going on & on for this long path without a single regret or tiredness ...

The following day after a church wedding assignment in Melaka, Andy Teh and I woke up early in the morning and prepare ourselves for an unforgettable prewedding in Melaka. In fact, it should be consider the 1st prewedding assignment for myself in Melaka and 1st trip visit for Andy too. Lucky, we have Eugene, local photographer who came back from Singapore during the weekend to bring us around. Of course, our lovely make up artist, Angie Ng and awesome couple Daryl and Simone with both their friends which just make a perfect day for shooting!
We have all the fun of shooting all along the streets and I just love the couple’s cooperation thru out the whole day despite a super hot day with a small rain in between.. hahahaa Melaka streets are full of surprises and glad we have some nice photos for the day..

Thanks again to Canon Camera Malaysia for featuring my work in the latest DSLR Photography Magazine Malaysia (August issue). The below are also posted in Canon Camera Malaysia Fan page in Facebook.
I have been searching for the magazine since this afternoon at few bookshop outlets. Seems it is not distributed yet. Will get a copy and post again. When Canon Camera Malaysia ask me for an image selection, I selected this photo. Yes, the one who won me a 2nd place in Emotion Category in 3Qtr 2008 AGWPJA. After 2 years, this photo is still one of my favourate shoots among 22 awards winning images that I obtain for the past 2 years.
Thanks Adeline, the bride too for this marvelous image.
