Windows have done it again:) Alright, I’m reinstalling the OS on my 2nd PC today. It’s been really frustrating as it’s now working at 10% the speed it used to be. Good thing my main PC for editing still looks good and healthy.
Apologies for the delay in email response.
In about 5mins time, I’ll be leaving home, heading to Manado on a dive trip. It’s been a while since I gave myself a break (from 25th June to 2nd July 2008). But it won’t be a complete switch off from work. During my time there, I’ll be looking into ways to streamline the business among other things. I’ll be back, refreshed and ready for the 2nd half of the year.
During this period, I will not have access to internet and limited mobile access. Please leave an email should you have any enquiries.
Good luck, feldberyl.
Yes! I just booked my air tickets to Manado (see how last minute I can get?). Woohoo! It’s a short trip… I think it’s really short. But I hope I get to relax a little before the busy months ahead. What better way to relax than diving. Everything is slow underwater… you can almost hear the turtles telling you “chill dude…”. *brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr* (I like it lame:P)
Anyway, I’ll be out of town from 25th Jun to 2nd Jul 2008. If you have any enquiries, please drop me an email. I’m sure they don’t have reception underwater, so email is best. I’ll get back to you as soon as I’m back.
Time to blow bubbles nitrogen addict! *blurb blurb… blurb blurb…*
I did some tweaking after getting some feedback from viewers.
1) Now the website/blog will open together while you have the option to close the website while still reading the blog.
2) Removed some links at the title block that were confusing
3) Added a “wedding updates” gallery (you can access it by clicking the dropdown box on the top right). This gallery will have the latest images in reverse chronological order.
4) Added an intro gallery so that it doesn’t start from any of the main galleries.
What can I say? Finally, it’s up and running!:D
Now, it’s all combined – the blog and the website. Content managed too for easier updating. So, expect to see more images up on the slideshow whenever they are available. No more going to two different sites to gain information. I’ll be adding more content and images soon. Stay tuned!:D
Be sure to “pull” the screen click on the website link!:)
After all the hard work, I must say, I’m a little relieved now. Back to work on my images. But first, I need a well deserved sleep. *pats back*
… I stepped out of my comfort zone and followed my passion, to become a full time wedding photographer after moonlighting for 3 years. I have been planning for that day for some time. But everytime, something will stop me, telling me… it’s a dead end there, don’t go. It’s the voice of uncertainty. It keeps repeating over and over again. I spoke to people around me and the result was, 50-50.
Dad asked, “why?”.
Mum said “if you are happier that way…”.
Ron said, “come join us!”
Ead said, “Fasten your seatbelts” <=== i can't be sure of the exact words, but you get the impression. Heng gave me a book during my birthday the year before, titled, Whatever you think, think the opposite by Paul Arden. On page 62, I found this,
A young man worked as a runner in an advertising firm.
One day he said to his manager, ‘i’m leaving. I’m going to be a drummer.’
The manager said, ‘I didn’t know you played the drums.’
He replied, ‘I don’t, but I’m going to.’
A few years later that young man played in a band with Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce, and it was called Cream, and the young man’s name was Ginger Baker.
He became what he wanted to become before he knew he could do it.
He had a goal
The events that led to me resigning was pretty funny. After my holiday in Taipei, I came back to office, still in holiday mood. Then I made a casual remark, “don’t feel like working…”. My colleague heard that and for the next 5 days, he will come to me everyday and ask, “when are you quitting? Must tell me ok?”. Coupled with my intention to leave, I thought, damn it… let’s just do it! So I told him I’ll resign the next day. That night, I typed my resignation letter and the next day, I was on my gardening leave:)
I remembered how my manager asked me, “what are you going to do?”. I said I want to be a photographer. He went “you know, you have a good degree and a stable job, why do this (you know the typical stuff)?” I quoted some examples and about pursuing a passion. But inside me, I wasn’t sure. One year on, today, I have an answer for him.
The whole episode only hit me a day later, I went, “what have you done?”
From then on, I knew, I was on my own. Today, I look back… no regrets.
To the ones that helped me and believe in me over this period of uncertainty, thank you, thank you very much.
From now on, meetings will only be on Tue/Thu or Weekends (if I’m not shooting). Please call/email for appointment.
Where have I been lately? Been doing a ‘little’ bit of shopping. A new camera, a new computer and a hell lot of work (especially moving files between the old and new systems). Checking the systems, making benchmarks, cleaning the little dinosaurs from my lenses, sending the cameras for servicing… etc.
Now, we’re ready to rock n roll! Images to come… soon…:D
On the side note, I heard news that ‘someone’ have been claiming my work as theirs. I’ll be paying them a visit later and I need a good explanation. *draw tattoos on arms* I’ll talk more on this issue soon.
