Wedding Photography: Rehana & Taiyub
Recently did a wedding day shoot for this lovely Pakistani couple from London for their actual day celebration and dinner. This is the first time I get to cover a traditional Pakistani Muslim wedding ceremony so the experience was great.
The wedding day starts off a day earlier where the bride and groom in their traditional garments would go through the traditional ceremony very similar to those done by muslims everywhere, the only difference is, the decorations and clothes are very much towards the traditional pakistani/indian.

Chinese New Year 2010 Celebration
The 2010′s Chinese New Year was slightly different compared to the previous few years. Different cause this would be the 1st year I am able to celebrate Chinese New Year with my kids and it’s also the year I have to rush between work, short holiday and work.
Even on the 1st day of the New Year, I had to spend a bit of time to do some work. It’s all good at the end anyway as we still manage to go through the customary visits to my Grandmother’s home in Gunung Rapat, lunch at my uncle’s place followed by more visitation to other relative’s place before completing the 1st day with a steamboat dinner with family and friends. Oh yeah, the mahjong and black jack session helps too. (more…)
The Indon, The Bangla & The Malaysian
An Indonesian, a Bangladeshi and a Malaysian Chinese are in a bar celebrating the 2010 New Year having a beer. The Indonesian finishes his beer and suddenly throws his glass in the air, pulls out a gun and shoots the glass to pieces.
He brags, “In Jakarta our glasses are so cheap that we don’t need to drink from the same one twice.”
The Bangladeshi is obviously impressed. When he finished his beer, he throws his glass into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the glass to pieces.
He says, “In Dhaka we have so much sand to make the glasses that we don’t need to drink out of the same glass twice either.”
The Malaysian, cool as a cucumber, finishes his drink, throws his glass into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the Indonesian and the Bangladeshi.
He says “Tiu Nia Ma! In KL we have so many Indons and Banglas that we don’t need to drink with the same ones twice.”
Birds Birds Birds!
A couple of Sundays back, jrhogan and I decide to go and shoot some birds. A very impromptu arrangement that was made not by sms or phone calls but over a chatroom filled with all sort of conversation. Amazing how we could still arrange to do something in a busy chatroom with a very constant and fast flow of messages by each users. Anyway, an arragement we did have and at noon on the sunday, we set off to the location to try and shoot some birds. These are what I caught… through my lens. I will try to name each bird species accordingly but do let me know if I got any one of them wrong.
