Shobana love story {Pre wedding}
Putrajaya – Looking at my watch, my client won’t be arriving shortly so I thought give my car tyre some air at the petrol station and marks the beginning of chaos throughout that day, almost. One of my car back tyre went flat during the process of adding air , weird isn’t it? The four knots tighten on that flat tyre are so tight from the last car mechanic at car service. I’ve tried to loosen the knots using the came-with-the-car purchase-useless cross tool with my full strength but still failed. Scrapped off a small chunk of skin on one of my finger during the process. Luckily its the finger on the left hand, not my shooting right hand. My clothes are soaked up with sweats when my client arrived. Left my car at the petrol station and hopped in my client’s car for the shoot of the day. My shoe bottom came off and I had to borrow my client’s extra pair of sport shoe in his car. Fortunately the shoe sizes matches my feet. The shooting went on smoothly which is something I’m most grateful for that day. It only starts raining towards the end of the shooting. The rain turned heavier by the time I got back to the petrol station feeling all alone waiting the car mechanic called earlier to arrive. Waited almost an hour and get being yelled at when I make a reminder call to the the car mechanic if he’s arriving any time soon. I didn’t want to fight back with him cause I need his man to fixed my car’s tyre. An hour later they showed up, he left one of his man with me and they have better tools as it takes them less than 10 minutes finishing changing the tyre. I really need to get one of their tools at ACE hardware shop one of these days. Last and final, I couldn’t have the burger whicht was advertised in the TV commercial that makes you shines like a celebrity at the KFC outlet because the middle aged woman in front of me not only took her entire 15 -20 minutes ordering her food but also snatched the last Double Zinger burger from me. Talk about tough love on a day, this is certainly one of them. However, I’m glad I kept my head cool not to be bothered by this chain reactions of unfortunate mini-series one leading to another and finished what I came out for that day which is capturing the love story of my clients. Besides, I’m just grateful that The All Mighty above was mercy enough and gave me the daylight needed for the shoot before it turned into a wet cacophony. Thank you : )

Confidence back with Epson Malaysia
Choose your soldiers carefully, especially those you want them charge for their commander at the front line of the battlefield. You want someone that is courageous, but also smart in the battle field. You don’t need some soldier charges at a obviously outnumbered enemy site like a wild boar and get killed before he could pull his trigger to open fire. Like a virgin, his gun and bullets that hasn’t been fired lying on the ground awaits its new owner (most likely his enemy) to revive her again. You want the soldier that reports to their commander the status at enemy site and how to win the battle with smart tactics. I was surprised when Epson Malaysia contacted me and didn’t knew about my unhappy experience of their dealer (Macstream) services to me a month ago. Apparently their dealer did not report to them about the WIFI issue on my newly bought Epson printer not working properly. As mentioned in previous blog post, I was not happy with the dealer quick to collect their “miscounted” balance but missing in actions to my printer being incomplete without the WIFI / Print CD functioning accordingly. Apparently the installation CD is struggling on its compatibility to the new Lion OS System which was release at 1 July 2011. “Perhaps you should downgrade your OS system to Leopard” is the worst comment I’ve ever heard to a Mac user. That is the very word from the dealer to me on the phone. The marketing manager of Epson Malaysia apologized to me on the phone after reading my blog post on this issue and immediately set up an appointment the next morning and have the problem solved. I’m glad they took the immediate initiative and effort to claim back their customer’s confidence by fixing the problem. As simple as that, that’s how you win your customer’s brand confidence back, fixing their problem. My Epson R2000 printer is now very satisfying and running smoothly. To be fair, I’ve deleted the previous blog post to show my sincere acceptance of their apologies. This is a perfect example of how some “bad apples” in the market that is representing a corporate’s product brand can spoilt the market confidence due to their lazy after sales services, worst of all, running away from it.
Thanks, Epson Malaysia. I am looking forward (if possible) to deal directly from you guys in future when I need upgrade of printer system to my business.
Stanley Tan + Joyce Soh love story {AWD}
Fast and Furious, Lady Gaga, Angry Bird, Performer in Chinese Opera mask disguise, Queens of karaoke, all the elements during Stanley & Joyce wedding day! What a wedding. It’s my good friend’s brother’s wedding and I’m glad being offered to shoot his brother’s wedding at Jenjarom. Before this, I only knew the famous chinese temple in Jenjarom which is always crowded every year during Chinese New Year without fail. Now I learned a lot of Chinese lives there and their food are really cheap and delicious, only RM3 for a Pan Mee, you can’t get that in KL. In a Chinese wedding, the “game” before the groom gets to fetch his lady away always fascinates me. It shows you how far the “brothers” would go for their friend-groom successfully meeting his bride in the final stage. I still couldn’t forget the image of one of groom’s “brother” has to eat the fruit hanging around …you know where..with eyes covered, I can’t imagine myself doing it. No, I can’t.
At the end of the wedding, everyone has a lot of fun during the dinner session. Especially the part where Lady Gaga entertaining the crowds. She or he is really good in entertaining the crowds. I remember seeing some of the male guest kissed / dance / hugged her despite She’s actually “He”. It was a fun wedding.
Li Pei + Teck Chee love story {AWD}
Talk about early morning, this has to be one of the earliest morning I woke up to the walking dead zombie look of myself in the mirror and I’m glad it’s much a different side of story when I arrived at my client – bride’s house. I must say Li Pei looked really stunning in her wedding gown/dresses. The timing was rather rushed during the actual wedding day of Li pei & Tech Chee due to a long 2 hour traffic jam when bride was picked up to groom’s house. Despite this little surprises in the morning, we’re all glad that everything went accordingly and smoothly.
Vincent + Cierra love story {AWD}
Summary: It’s a small world, my client turns out to be junior of my high school as I’m his senior, how bizzare fate push us to people we meet. It was a beautiful day and it was a blast experience shooting their wedding as they were a great couple to work with Congratulations to both of them!
My winning photo entry – Color Imaging Exhibition Epson 2010
One of my photo won a consolation prize from Color Imaging Photo Competition co-hosted by Epson Malaysia and Digital Camera magazine last year. The theme for the photo competition is “Celebration”, and my shot is a boy looking up the Red Lantern formations at a Chinese Temple which was shot during the Chinese New Year celebration. I remembered at the rules and regulations that the photo will be display at their exhibition sometime in year 2011. I’ve asked the Epson representative during KLPF recently about where have my winning image went just for curiosity, unfortunately none of them knew or found my answer. Finally i’ve found it by luck on the Internet, here it is (the link) http://global.epson.com/SR/community/citizenship/citizenship_malaysia.html
