Street Photography Using Lenovo Vibe Shot @ Little India Brickfields KL Early in September, Lenovo Malaysia organized a special hangout session with National Geographic Photographer Hannah Reyes . In collaboration between Lenovo and National Geographic, Hannah is the current brand ambassador for Lenovo Vibe Shot and you may check out her beautiful shots taken during her travel to 5 Southeast Asian countries and India . Being able to shoot photos for National Geographic Creative is definitely something that I am looking forward to. Therefore I went for the hangout thinking that it was just a casual session chit-chat with Hannah Reyes and to learn a few photography tips from the awesome photographer herself. Little did I know that Lenovo Malaysia loan each of us a Lenovo Vibe Shot to take photos on the street of Little India Brickfields Kuala Lumpur. As what I understand about Indian's culture, they are always colorful in terms of food, sarees and so many other

Le Pont Boulangerie et Café @ Old Klang Road Bedford Business Park

Le Pont Boulangerie et Café @ Old Klang Road Bedford Business Park On 20 September 2015, Le Pont Boulangerie et Café has officially opened its stately doors in Old Klang Road with a three-storey French European boulangerie-patisserie-café offering wholesome cafe cuisine, traditionally artisanal yet innovative breads and pastry, custom-roasted house blend coffee and specially-crafted drinks. The inspiration behind the name Le Pont (French for ‘The Bridge’) comes from the desire to capture the vision of a unique space where people can come together and forge new friendships and the aspiration to create a food and beverage concept where food and drink connect seamlessly. Thus was born a French European boulangerie-patisserie-cafe that strives to connect cultures, link great food with memorable moments and showcase culinary expertise and gastronomic innovations. After reading the post from EatDrinkKL ,  I was really interested to check out their interior, especially th

An Experience Helping People In Need #ProjectNourish

An Experience Helping People In Need Today I would like to share something I did in mid of July. It was a meaningful evening with friends from Maxis team.Working with two local NGOs –  Pertiwi Soup Kitchen  and  Kechara Food Bank  – over 150 Maxis volunteers took to homes and the streets during Ramadan to distribute food and essential supplies to the urban poor and homeless in and around the Klang Valley. #ProjectNourish was more than just about helping the needy. It gave us the opportunity to go down to the ground to see for ourselves the reality of urban poverty, have a sense of gratitude and do something meaningful. It was certainly an eye opening experience to be able to directly interact with and help those in need. Below are some photos taken when we visited two of the family:

Japanese Film Festival 2015 x GSC Malaysia @ Pavilion KL It was an honour that GSC Malaysia decided to hire me for my photography service again after their grand winning in Putra Brand Awards 2015 . They like the photos so I was there to shoot for their Japanese Film Festival 2015 at GSC Pavilion KL the other day. It was my first Japanese Film Festival and I gotta say I really love the movie Kakekomi directed by Masato Harada. Always good to meet talented people who can create creative motion images =) It was good to see Ms Koh Mei Lee and Linora Low in Kimono too. I heard it took them at least 30-45 minutes to wear it well and the color/design represent different age group. I really can't wait to visit Japan this coming November!! Below are some event photos that I thought would like to share with you guys. If you love my style of event photography, call me up!  Sky Arts Production - "Capture Precious Moments"

This dining experience is definitely unique but come with a price. I was thinking of sharing my dinner in the sky experience right after I tried it but last minute works do come in last minute!! So I've just finished processing a few wedding/event photos and told myself I must share about this adventurous dinner tonight!! I will answer the questions that I've been asked by friends at the post below. More photos including the fine-dine 5 courses and the surrounding when you are hanging mid-air. The scenery wasn't that astonishing because of haze but I still able to see KL Tower and Petronas Twin Towers in a distance. Now read my detailed experience below!

Clean Water with Cleansui Water Purifier CB Series from Japan

Image
Clean Water with Cleansui Water Filter System Water filter has already become a must in every household to ensure that we are drinking filtered water and feel safe. However, different quality of water filter does come in different price too. It can range from hundreds to thousands depends on which feature you required. Not every household can afford that expensive  water filter system at home, and some are bulky to install in the kitchen/house.  I've been using this simple-to-install CLEANSUI Water Filter at the kitchen for almost two months now and I will share my verdicts about it below.

What To Do When Your Image Is Stolen or Misused ??

Image
My photo being misused on phone case. What should I do? What happen if you found out someone misused your photo? Do you take an action or you just leave it?? I guess this is the question that many people would have asked especially in Malaysia. Most people choose to ignore as they not sure what they can do with it. If it is on Facebook when someone impersonate you, you can report the profile. But what if your picture has been printed on a product instead?? Sometimes you can see your photos suddenly appear on the website without any credit and sometimes they are making money using it. Above photo is not the only case...

He Inspired Me To Be A Better Person - A Story About Uncle San

Image
I saw this video the other day and feels like I must really share more kindness through the internet instead of looking at all the ranting news on Facebook hah. This is a true story that Maxis has decided to recreate the scene and illustrate this lovely 1 Malaysia story through motion pictures.  "That's why, when I see others suffer, I want to help" - Uncle Sam "This is an inspiring true stories of an 80-year-old Uncle San, Ranau earthquake mountain guides and hundreds of other Malaysians who looked past our differences, and showed unexpected kindness to neighbours and strangers in need. Just a small reminder of what we are capable of when more we as Malaysians ask ourselves: what if we all started treating each other more like family?"

Samsung GALAXY Note 5 Launch in Malaysia (Sunway Pyramid) Samsung KOL taking selfies at the Note 5 media launch It was an adventurous two days experience for me as Samsung's Social Photographer of the day during their Samsung GALAXY Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus launch nationwide. I was sort of the photographer that take photo for Samsung live update on their Twitter and Instagram (didn't saw my photos on FB). Luckily I got all the things I have (DSLR with correct lenses, WiFi Card for instant transfer, enough spare battery) to make sure that I did my job the best I can.   I went to Sunway Pyramid again for their Note 5 50% off on 2nd gadget promotion and the crowd was really huge!! A bit regret as I only reach there around 9am and first 100 spots already taken. Due to good response on the crowd, Samsung Malaysia decided to give extra Golden Tickets to the people on queue. Not only you get to buy Note 5 at half price on second unit, you get to receive free gifts (P
