Ending the great 2009 and looking forward to 2010!

@Intro
It has been a month since I last wrote my blog entry as it was the busiest months of the year for wedding industry.  With Christmas & 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!  I wonder how do you all feel for year 2009 as mine was superb.  The following is a summary of my 2009!

@Making a living
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!  I took more photos in a month than the whole year combined previously (pity my camera shutter’s life though).  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.  Once again thank you for all the supports and I will keep on sharing what I like the most!

@Lovely days
This year, I met my darling – Angelina, and thus officially self-declared that I am not another otaku anymore (yes, I do watch anime quite often previously)!  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.  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!).

@Having fun and plays
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.  There’s still quite a big list of items in my wish-list too and I am looking forward to get them slowly!  For the time being, its just not feasible.

@Family
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.  It’s good to have a family and I wish it last as long as possible!

@Finale
It’s a good-good year that I met a lot of new friends this year!  You are all welcomed to share your stories to me as well!  I will end this post here with a few shots from my recent photo coverage of Music for Life, a concert in aid of Hospice at Home Programme.
