First post after 8 months!!!

I know… I know… I’ve been gone for a very long time. And for those who have been chasing me for updates, I’m really sorry about that.

I stopped blogging 8 months ago because there were some changes in my life.

But due to some personal reasons, I can’t write about them. If I can’t write about them, my blog is not “up-to-date”. If my blog is not up-to-date, I better off not writing anything.

Execuses I know.

But time flies, I didn’t realise that stopping for a while would be 8 months long.

Many things have happened and many things have changed.

First and foremost, I quitted my full-time job!!!

Ok maybe this is not a breaking news anymore for those who know me in person since it happened months ago.

In a nutshell, I resigned from my position as a Senior Web Designer from a globalised local university and started freelancing web design and development jobs.

It was a big step for me and it was life changing.

It’s not easy at first especially when money is running low and clients refuse to pay. But that’s the price I need to pay for freedom and lifestyle. I’ll leave the details for another post (if there is another post :p).

Okay, so what else happened? Actually I can’t really remember after so many months. I have bad memories.

For now, I will leave you with a picture from the trip to Vietnam early this month. Full story coming soon (I hope).

Survive — continue to live or exist, in spite of danger or hardship.

Things won’t go smoothly. Things will be broken.

There will be no sign nor sound.

Once broken, it’s hard to be fixed.

But there’s no point of fixing something that can’t be fixed.

So it’s time to wake up from the long nap.

Move on to a whole new level.

There’s no room for regret, no place for sympathy.

Life must go on.

To a place that no one has ever been.

To a place we call a newlife.

Few months ago, my friend Kent asked me to help him to photograph the interior of a bungalow of his client.

He told me that it will be published in a magazine, but what he didn’t tell me was that, the pictures going to appear on 11 pages!

You can find them in the latest iN DESIGN Magazine issue 28 both English/Malay version and English/Chinese version.

Happy to see my own pictures printed on a magazine. But compare my pictures with the others in the magazine, there’s definitely a big big room for me to improve.

Here are some of my favourite shots, just a small portion.

All in all, learned a lot about interior photography and the conclusion is, interior photography, not easy.
