@Intro
\nIt has been a month since I last wrote my blog entry as it was the busiest months of the year for wedding industry.\u00a0 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!\u00a0 I wonder how do you all feel for year 2009 as mine was superb.\u00a0 The following is a summary of my 2009!<\/p>\n

@Making a living
\nSince 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!\u00a0 I took more photos in a month than the whole year combined previously (pity my camera shutter\u2019s life though).\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Once again thank you for all the supports and I will keep on sharing what I like the most!<\/p>\n

\"Camo<\/a><\/p>\n

@Lovely days
\nThis year, I met my darling \u2013 Angelina, and thus officially self-declared that I am not another otaku<\/a> anymore (yes, I do watch anime quite often previously)!\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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>\n

\"Albert<\/a><\/p>\n

@Having fun and plays
\nThis year, I also made a lot of purchases including a 32\u201d Panasonic LCD HDTV, WDTV Media player, some hard-disk-drives, a brand new Nikon D700 and also a soon-to-come Lenovo laptop.\u00a0 There\u2019s still quite a big list of items in my wish-list too and I am looking forward to get them slowly!\u00a0 For the time being, its just not feasible.<\/p>\n

@Family
\nParent 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.\u00a0 It\u2019s good to have a family and I wish it last as long as possible!<\/p>\n

\"Yap's<\/a><\/p>\n

@Finale
\nIt\u2019s a good-good year that I met a lot of new friends this year!\u00a0 You are all welcomed to share your stories to me as well!\u00a0 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Music<\/a><\/p>\n
