Wedding | Yee Kar & Choon Kong in Kuching

Yee Kar & Choon Kong | Month before their wedding day in Kuching, Yee Kar & I communicated through sms/whatsapp & email and meet up few time to discuss on her wedding day details.

Yee Kar was concerned that due to the simplicity of her wedding plan, there might not be things to photograph. I assure her that "There will be plenty of things & moments to photograph on the day" as I treat every wedding differently. 

Ah Yong | The Seasonal Durian Vendor in Kuching



Durian.... Some said its the King of all fruits, some love them and some not. If you love them, you will be hooked by it smell. Like me, I was tempted by the smell and its lead to me Ah Yong's Durian store at first corner shop of Main Bazaar near waterfront when I drove by his store to get to Black Bean Coffee.

Ah Yong sell ABC & Kantong when Durian are not in season. He jokingly said that ABC & Kantong will not be available for few month probably after Chinese New Year. I bought some Durian from Ah Yong which then we chatted and he told me the durian are from a village after Serian Town. Then I asked him something which I've been wanting to document since a year ago. So I asked "Can I follow you tomorrow to photograph while you collecting Durian from the vilagers?" He look at his wife then answer me "Yes you can but we are departing to destination at 4.50am). What a wildcard moment for me!!! we exchange number so I can call to arrange where to meet up the next morning.

Short Break to Sematan Town from July & August.

July & August 2013, we went to Sematan Town a number of time. Well, its our favorite weekend getaway destination and also my favorite place to go fishing together with my captain who live at sematan town.

This blog post are the collection of photo from my trip to Sematan back in July & August 2013. We check out Dynawood beach stay back in July and decided we must stay there for its farm style beach stay. Then in August, I went out fishing on Asym's Boat together with friends before Hari Raya. On Hari Raya, I make a trip up again to visit Asym house and photograph hisfamily portraits as well. Too bad its raining cats & dogs that day. Else can have outdoor family portraits rather than in the house.

Bali | Tegalalang Rice Terrace & Tirta Empul Temple | Day 2


Day 2 |  After breakfast, our guide (Bang Igo Bali/Kadet) came pick us up and we went
straight to Tegalalang Rice Terrace in Ubud. On the way, he told us that the paddy might be already harvested which turn out true. The sight and scene of it are still awesome... if come at dawn would be really nice as well. Will make a come back trip next round as this trip purely just to sight seeing and relax.

Next we went to Tirta Empul Temple at Tampaksiring. Heard of this place lots of time and viewed on TV in a show by Samantha Brown, and so i make this place a must go to see. Being there to see it really tell you lots more than what you hear and saw on TV. The histories and the culture of the people just an attraction itself.

Travel | Pandan Beach, Lundu.


Pandan Beach, Lundu! yeap... its been a while since the last visit. But this beautiful beach which I can said its one of the best in Kuching has its own unique attraction. This trip just mainly to chill and relax while enjoying the breeze and also checking out a new possible birding spot which found fruitful. The only problem is the tree bit too high and finding the birds with the same color as the leaves seriously not easy.

Beauty & The Feast | Editorial Shoots for KINO


Beauty & The Feast | As the title said it! This editorial assignment for Kuching In & Out (KINO) was a real adventure. We departed from Kuching early around 6.30am toward Kampung Sadir where Saloma's place were and managed to found it after stopping by to ask the villager along the way. That really was an experience and view view just breathtaking which I wish I stopped to snap it. You can read KINO's second issue HERE which this shoots was featured.

Arriving Saloma's place, I went scouting around her house/villagestay to a spot to photographed her in. The stairways leading to her house just caught my eyes as the light just awesome with the welcoming greenery sort of wrapping around it. I must remind myself to snap behind the scene photo for next assignment. Portraits of Saloma's were done pretty quick which only requires 1 flash gun be used to fill the shadow side of her face. This photo was chosen as its just show her personality.

Paddy haversting! Was it in the season? Have been always wanted to shots a documentary on paddy haversting which until recently I saw a friend posted a photo he took of paddy harvesting at some village near kuching but not Kampung Skuduk.

Decided to go to Kampung Skuduk the next weekend which is on 9th March. Excited as always and we wake up early then breakfast and arrived kampung skuduk at sunrise... But somehow we are bit too late as most of the paddy were already haversted. Only left a few patches here and there on the field. Not giving up, we waited as still pretty early then slowly
