Ahfook’s Story

I am glad that invited by Ah Tat to join the Dong Tai Du photography session last Sunday, I have a great chance to snap with SengKit, Ricky and Sui Gor. There were around 30 musicians took part in the session, to demonstrate the action and spirit of Dong Tai Du (动态度). Each of them were requested to jump or do some tricky actions to be captured at a compound of a flat. SengKit and Ricky were the main photographers, while I responsible in recording the whole process, together with Sui Gor. The photos taken will be stitched up and form a panorama photo. Then we moved to Sungai Wang plan to have a street pogo and distribute the gig flyers, but due to lack of crowd at that time, we decided to postpone the second plan to another evening.

Thanks everyone who worked hard to make this session a success and a fun one.

More photos coming soon Photos ready!

Rachel and I were invited by Stella and Wilson as their wedding photographers, at Wilson’s hometown, which is Malacca. Last weekend, after casting our votes in General Election, we drove down to Malacca, and FM988 was the source we received the General Election results.

Wilson has reserved 1 room for us at Malacca, staying in King Apartment with Stella’s family. Stella’s family members are warm and kind, we had a great time there. The next day, Sunday, was the wedding day for the couple. We woke up early in the morning the shot for the wedding ceremony, as well as the wedding dinner at the night.

That was a very precious experience for Rachel and I, thanks Stella and Wilson given us a good chance to experience a wonderful wedding, and meeting wonderful people especially their friendly family members.

Makkal Sakti probably is one of the famous phrases for this 12th General Election besides ‘time to change’, ‘korek korek korek’, ‘再转变’, ‘enough is enough’, ‘BN = Barang Naik’ and etc. This phrase is used by HINDRAF with the meaning of ‘people power‘. This is so true especially Malaysians have denied Barisan Nasional’s 2/3 majority with their votes, which I never thought would happen before.

Congratulations, Malaysians, and thanks for those who dare to make change, and gave a chance to Barisan Rakyat. Remember in democratic country, WE ARE THE BOSS!

Barisan Nasional - You guys better manage Malaysia well, if Malaysia still runs in bad condition, people will pull you down entirely in coming General Elections.

Barisan Rakyat - Congrates! The people has given you guys a chance, take this opportunity to learn how to run your governments and do what you have promised before. But remember, we can vote you in, we can vote you out too!

I’ve exercised my right as a Malaysian this morning

Early in the morning, aroun 7am, I woke up and took LRT to Kelana Jaya picked up my mum, using my aunt’s car. Then drove to Seri Petaling, to cast our votes. Mum had her leg operation last year so her leg is weak, need to sit on the wheel chair. So I pushed her into polling station, which is SK Seri Petaling.

However, our polling rooms were located at second floor, how could she climb up to second floor while she is having problem of walking? Luckly there were 2 SPR staffs helped me to carry my mum up to the second floor to cast her vote, then carried my mum down to ground floor again. SPR should consider about handicap people and open up a special polling streams for those handicap peoples in next General Elections.

After I cast my vote, I sent my mum home and then take LRT back home. So let’s see how’s things turn out tonight.
