Hey all, to whoever that's still reading this blog...

I've relocated to Petaling Jaya in Selangor since Feb after securing a job here. It has been a roller-coaster ride for the past 8 months or so. Some of the toughest, trying and most exciting times for me. Health issues, relationship problems, coping with new work environment etc. But anyways, to cut the long story short, and to save you the boredom, things have all turned for the better and so I've gotta praise God (retro alert) for that.

Hope everyone's well and... I'll post again pretty soon.

It has been quite a while since the last shooting session with the guys. So before they strike me off from their list of invites and banish me from the group for eternity, I've decided to join them (Kong, TC, Joo) when they extended their invite to me last weekend.

It was an awfully sunny and clear day (oxymoron ftw) to begin with. Not a single cloud the entire morning. A perfect day for shooting.

In short, it was more of a blah-blah chit-chat session for me (prob not so for the others). Didn't end up taking much photos, or rather, the photos were not worth posting. But it was good fun. Looking forward to the next outing.

Damn, I've been neglecting this blog for ages YET AGAIN. Hahah, never again will I make any commitments in the future with regards to regular updates!

This blog needs more pics! Nice, happy pics! The last few posts were all about doom and gloom here in Bolehland (Malaysia). Not that things are any better now, but to lighten the mood a little, here's one of my girlfriend that was taken during my last trip down to KL.

Love the colour of the skin and the overall shot. Portrait shots are something that I've always wanted to learn and to improve on. Still not quite the standard of many other good portraits but I think this is a good start.

A nation in distress

3 arrested under the draconian ISA. A dying regime's desperate act to show that they're still in power. Hoping to incite racial riots just before September 16th? How pathetic.

We can see through all of that. Your acts can be read like an open book.

Operasi Lalang ver2.0? Hope it isn't so.

My prayers and thoughts are with the 3 detainees. God Bless you all.

As tense as the situation is, stay calm and don't let the BN idiots provoke you. This would be the best advise for the current situation.

We made it to the front pages again.

And for all the wrong reasons.

There you go, the stupidity of this nation's ruling coalition laid bare for all to see.
