I Got 1st Runner Up in The Cyberjaya Digital Photography Competition 2011

Guess what? Finally my photography has taken me somewhere :D I submitted my entry back in July after many many cold and mosquito bitten nights in Cyberpark trying to capture the perfect star trail.

Received an E-mail from Cyberview last Tuesday telling me that there was going to be a prize giving ceremony on Thursday, I merely thought i would have won the consolation prize.

Arrived there 30 minutes earlier with Phei Yee and Alif, so we just loitered there we loads of school children as it turns out that the prize giving ceremony was also for a multimedia animation competition organized by Cyberview for primary and secondary school children.

My heart was having palpitations and I was on the verge of an anxiety attack when they started to announce the winners of the competition, and it turned out I managed to bagged second place. I was looking around the audience before that and i noticed most of the contestants were working adults and I thought to myself no way in heaven would I manage to grab a top prize. But well looks like God works in many mysterious ways :D

The girl who always worried about my safety when i told her i was going out at 2 in the morning for the shoot.

One of my pals who accompanied me to shoot in the crazy hours of the morning together with Azim (Not in picture).

Me bounty!! What am i gonna do with the money you may ask, well I paid Alif and Azim their share, took the girl out for dinner and some shopping, took her parents out for Korean BBQ, bought a phone for my dad, took my parents out for a Dim Sum buffet and i'm planning to donate a portion of it to World Vision and use the remaining to invest in something worthwhile, which I have not thought about yet.

The winning shot. Last but not least, thank you to those who believed in me and helped me so much along the way. I dedicate this to you. You guys are the greatest! You know who you are :D

Umar And Safiah Tanjung Bidara Shoto

Was in Terendak 2 weeks ago for my posting in Internal Medicine. It was a really beautiful place as it was untouched by urbanization. The beach area was filled with little "kampung" houses which gave it a quaint, scenic environment.

Decided to do a little shoot for this married couple as they were looking for some pictures to fit in a photo book.

 The bride.

 The groom.

And lastly a cheesy picture. Well till than got to get back to digesting my books.

Soon and Wan Teng Shoot @ FRIM

 Hey there, I am not dead or have I ran away with David Archuletta.Currently in 3rd year of my course. Ultraly busy as I have class on Saturdays now and I only leave the hospital at 7pm usually. But nevertheless I still managed to find the time to shoot.

This shoot was done about 2 weeks back. Here's the scenario, girlfriend studies in the U.K and boyfriend is here, wants to get some photos to make a photobook.

Headed to FRIM on a Sunday morning, was lucky to have adequate sunshine as I did not have an assistant to hold the reflector or flash gun for me, so natural lighting managed to do the job.

 Couple was very obliging and we managed to cover almost everything in a short amount of time.

The greenery there also provided a nice soothing background for the shoot.

My only complain was the vast amount of mosquitoes that were encircling us.

Overall a very productive shoot. I did a few shoots since than. Will update more in the future :D

David Archuleta Live In Malaysia 2011

This is Wee Phei Yee's ultimate idol. He has the hugest crush on him so it was only natural that we attended both his concert and his autograph session.

We braved the horrific KL traffic and really expensive Pavilion parking only to be held back for another 30 mins as Mr Archie was running late. And worst of all to being surrounded by 100 young girls and old aunties. Aunties old enough to be his grandmother. Well who am I to criticize, Mr Archie posses powers to attract women that baffles many out there.

To be honest he was a real down to earth person, you could tell when he was so shocked to see a big crowd waiting for him that he even forgot to take the mic. LOL.

He belted a few verses from his song with pure emotion during the signing.

Wee Phei Yee trying to conceal her glee and fan girl excitment

Managed to take some Polaroids with him, but pity her, he blinked when I pressed the shutter.

 Ya, and like it or not, another autographed CD to be added to my collection.

Concert day, 24hrs later. Same story, full of young girls to old aunties. Stadium was almost full could, say 3/4. But I felt Sony could have done better with publicity as his bigest fan base is in Malaysia and is quite sad to see his ticks were not sold out, despite selling out shows in Vietnam and the Philippines.

My overall thoughts, well I got to say that he is really talented, sounds better live than the CD. But his set was too short in my opinion, 1 hour show. But nevertheless his vocals is really good.

He did a cover which i really enjoyed from the 80s.

Oh ya one thing that really irritated me during the concert were these RELA people who kept shooting the audience with laser who were trying to take pictures. I mean WTF? this is a concert sure there will be people taking pictures. And they even had the cheek to threaten me, hello la, my concert ticket is more expensive than what you make in a day la.

Yeap overall a good show but a lil short. Oh ya some videos too :D
