2 days ago Rachel and I went to Seri Petaling to have our dinner. In the middle of the dinner, someone came to sell “The Rocket” newsletter from DAP. So i bought 1 of them. Then I realized the cover of the newspaper has a photo that looks very familiar to me.
The photo looks alike with a photo that taken by me during BERSIH gathering last year, for 4 young ladies took part in the gathering. “This is my photo! 
” so excited, I shouted to Rachel, then Rachel said, “are you sure? There were many people taken photos of these ladies”.
So when we back to home, I’ve checked my gallery, then I confirmed, it’s mine:
Feel amazing that my photo is being used as cover at DAP newsletter.
I went to Batu Caves to took photos for Thaipusam yesterday with Rachel. This was my first time attend this event, also the first time snapped with Rachel. Thanks to Hindraf, KL and Putrajaya were announced public holiday, so we had the chance to join this event.
We reach there at around 6:00am. Without tripod, we were not able to took good photos at that moment. So we spent our time wander around and had our not-so-tasty breakfast at there. After we completed our breakfast it’s already 7:00am. The sky is getting bright so we started to take more photos. Rachel took photos with her Canon EOS 400D with Sigma 18-200mm HCM OS lens, while I was using my Canon EOS 350D equipped by Canon EF50mm F1.8 lens.
It was an amazing experience for us, especially for an event that we didn’t familiar with. There were many groups of devotees from different temples, carrying the kavadis or burdens, or all kinds of piercings on body joint the pilgrimage.
With some kind of supernatural force, they could bear the pain and climb up to the cave the situated above 272 steps of stair.

Last Sunday went to a potrait photography session organized by Chinese Cari forum. Equipped with my Canon EOS 350D and Rachel’s Sigma 18-200mm OS HSM, I also grouped with 3 other Canon photographers. It was a fun session, group members are friendly and generous, and the model Jessie is very corporative. Here is one of the photos taken:

At the Christmas day of 2007, it was the wedding day of my college (APIIT) classmate Andrew Fong Kah Soon, with his lovely wife Mandy Yong. I was fortunated to be their wedding dinner photographer. The dinner was held at Noble Banquet located at Jalan Bukit Bintang.
The couples are friendly and able to pose naturally when I pointed the camera to them, very cooperative 
This make my job easier as a photographer.
The dinner also like APIIT little gathering as normally we hardly see each other except on some big events.
Congratulations and hope this lovely couple will have wonderful life and joyful journey ahead. All the best.
Will post the rest of the photos of the dinner in gallery when I finished touch-them-up.
