			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@Intro   <br />It has been a month since I last wrote my blog entry as it was the busiest months of the year for wedding industry.&#160; With Christmas &amp; New Year coming soon, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and not forgetting all the best to complete your pending/in-progress wishes during this last 2 weeks of 2009!&#160; I wonder how do you all feel for year 2009 as mine was superb.&#160; The following is a summary of my 2009!</p>
<p>@Making a living   <br />Since I made the biggest change to my career from an IT slave to a full time photographer last year; I attended, covered and witness endless weddings and its going strong!&#160; I took more photos in a month than the whole year combined previously (pity my camera shutter’s life though).&#160; I also made my debut for speaking publicly for Han Chiang High school photography classes, Freezed.asia photo club and also some photography workshop for Nikon Malaysia.&#160; Once again thank you for all the supports and I will keep on sharing what I like the most!</p>

<p>@Lovely days   <br />This year, I met my darling – Angelina, and thus officially self-declared that I am not another <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otaku" target="_blank">otaku</a> anymore (yes, I do watch anime quite often previously)!&#160; And to all of the friends out there who kept asking me about my darling, the following picture is a shot of me with my darling.&#160; And yes, we know when to get married and when to have some Mini-Bert, and appreciate all your efforts for reminding us in Facebook (You know who you are, my dear-friends!).</p>

<p>@Having fun and plays   <br />This year, I also made a lot of purchases including a 32” Panasonic LCD HDTV, WDTV Media player, some hard-disk-drives, a brand new Nikon D700 and also a soon-to-come Lenovo laptop.&#160; There’s still quite a big list of items in my wish-list too and I am looking forward to get them slowly!&#160; For the time being, its just not feasible.</p>
<p>@Family   <br />Parent is getting old day by day and ages has started to take the toll on my mom. She was admitted to hospital 3 times this year with the last one having a bypass surgery, thanks god she went thru all of the darkness.&#160; It’s good to have a family and I wish it last as long as possible!&#160; </p>

<p>@Finale   <br />It’s a good-good year that I met a lot of new friends this year!&#160; You are all welcomed to share your stories to me as well!&#160; I will end this post here with a few shots from my recent photo coverage of <a href="http://ncsmpg.blogspot.com/2009/10/music-for-life-2009.html" target="_blank">Music for Life, a concert in aid of Hospice at Home Programme</a>.</p>
