• Check out some of these amazing photojournalist images, really worth the click!
• Who says the iPhone isn’t a fantastic phone? This guy definitely begs to differ!
• The crazy folks at Colorware has done it again, charges you USD$75 to change the colour of your Magic Trackpad. Or should I just spend USD$550 to get my Macbook Pro coloured as well!
• Always getting bullied as a photographer especially during street shoots? Well, worry no more! Check out these cards, they tell you your rights!
• Of little lies and small promises, this link definitely is a good read on personal integrity. How often do we constantly say, “I am on the way”, while we are still happily lounging at home? This article hit me at my very nerve.
• Jessica Claire wonders if she might just want to switch over to Nikon??? Woah that is huge news!

That’s all for this week. Have a great week ahead everyone!

Every year on the 31st of August, Malaysians come together as one to celebrate our nation’s independence day but this year seems a little more of a solemn affair for me. Maybe its the tiring weekend I had and with all of the frustrations I went through, perhaps the joy of the day has become another passing holiday. Maybe its due to the extremely sorry state of our nation that we constantly read in the papers, read online and watch on television.

Youtube has been a great source of information but everytime I watch our politicians in the Dewan Rakyat, I have nothing more but more concern. As leaders of our nation, instead of focusing on the key points, getting us out from a bad economy and continue to build this nation into a developed one, we have those who tend to like to take every opportunity to gain some limelight and make an arse of him/herself.

Oh well, that is what happens when you just simply elect a representative without knowing their true capabilities.

So instead of out celebrating, I am a little more inclined to read these bit of news instead.

Happy Independence Day everyone.

After mentioning about the Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk VI in my older post here and the new upcoming Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI here, I managed to find some interesting videos on YouTube about the Volkswagen Golf 1.4.

Thought the advert above was very interesting.

Some reviews of the Golf VI on Fifth Gear

This video shows the acceleration speed of the Golf 1.4 TSI with a 160hp. Only difference is that it is fitted with 19″ rims instead of it’s stock 16″ rims.

The Golf VI 1.4 in action, tornado red. I like that colour a lot.

And a video reviewing the Golf but in a different language! Anyone can translate this for me?

Yes, I have finally gotten around to sorting through some of the images from my photo archives and yes, I have uploaded them to my Portfolio page. Here are some of the images which I have uploaded.

Capture the shot above while shooting Siva & Sumitha’s wedding together with the Stories team.

This shot was taken during Eric & Debbie’s wedding, also together with the Stories‘ team.

Took the shot of Mun Tzin quite recently

Head over to my portfolio page to view more!

I have known Nick for quite some time now ever since the Lowyat photography days and when he asked me to shoot his pre-wedding, I couldn’t say “no” to him. Here are some of the photos from the session. Boy, did I really have so much fun shooting the couple. Both Nick and Sharon were very sporting and they were a really funny couple to photograph. A huge thanks to Mun Tzin as well for helping me out.

I really love capturing the bouquet especially when they are so nicely decorated such as the one above.

The head piece was from Pretty in White! I really love birdcage veils.

We started the shoot from inside the room which was themed after a middle eastern design.

After shooting for a while, we decided to try and capture the sunset. I really love sunset shots and I really love the warm colour tone!

All the best Nick and Sharon. Can’t wait to shoot your wedding next month! Gosh, time really flies!
