After I attended the business talk last Sunday by Hart, I know where I have a clearer picture on what my focus in photography were...

Thanks to Hart, my mentor-to-be, for giving me a good wake-up-call in my passion for photography. Coming down this journey, there's a lot of knowledge and there's a lot of knock-into-the-wall. It was really a tough start for me to start a business without know what is actually needed as a basic, besides knowing how to shoot. I'm glad I've hear from people with experienced. I'm glad I've the opportunity that came through my way when I was struggling. I'm glad Hart stepped in even more, offering a role as my mentor. I'm glad opportunity comes in very smoothly for me, and thank GYM for guiding me. I know I'm not doing the wrong choice.

Hart, aka tomato photo, is a Newborn Photographer. His workpiece has been very well marketed in the photography trade. Do visit www.tomato.sg for more.

Count me lucky or what.. I'm gg to work harder and harder for my dreams!

I'm back from a 3D2N Kelong trip at Sibu island!! It's one of the most relaxing trip I've been so far. This trip was organized by hubby's company and I was invited to join. The purpose of the trip is to allow the fellow colleagues in 'Rex Division- DWG GTA' to have better bonding and team leadership. And I've definitely benefited after joining them.

Like stated in my title, life in kelong was really carefree. It was definitely a big challenge to all the property agent, not to pick up their calls for 3 days. And I'm glad to see how each and individual one of them work it out. Kelong in Sibu island is right smack in the middle of the sea. It's not the normal kelong that I've been to. We literally sleep together in open bunk bed, we sleep with fan, we sleep surrounding by sea, we eat sleep shit bathe play laugh together. A place with no wifi, no Internet access, no calls, no messages, and whatsapp.

There were beaches 20 mins from Sibu island where we engaged ourselves in many sports activities to play with, and a lot of teamwork spirit to be presented. I'm glad that I've knew a new group of friends.

A short trip to release my mind. A short trip for me to not think about anything. A short trip that empties out the worries I had in singapore. An enjoyable trip that I know in future, I'll want to go back to sibu island once again.

Time to blog again. Guess I've neglected this space lately. Have been trying to be lazy with life and decided to slow things down and looked back at what I've been. Sometimes our paces get too fast that we might not be able to catch up on our own.

Been slowing down with photography. Shot only one grand event for the past 2 weeks. Signed up for classes but ended up not attending due to laziness and trying to grab more time for myself. I'm glad how I've managed to make some time out for myself, my own space, doing what I want to do. Carefree. But this week, I'm back on track. Weekends are packed with event and programs. All packed down to end of the month.

Work life have been a little pressurizing. My supervisor was on long leave and I need to handle clinic all on my own till Ed of the month. One whole month of being in a role of an 'acting-sister'. Well, no fun at all. But in another hand, I get to trained up with different skills. Leadership skills, management skills, and people relationship skills. Hope I'll be able to survive through the month. Anyway, I'm having 2 difficult case to handle and I'm still on the way having many meetings with Directors to revamp the workflow in the clinic. Knowing that final year budgeting for the company is here, everyone is headache!

Been spending more time catching up with friends too. It's time to get back to life after fighting for my interest and spending lots of time there. Now that I've got results, it's time to balance things.

Shall end my post with a photo to share with everyone. I was given a chance to shoot for Singapore One Championship last week, and we have got special guest in the house!!! ABTM...

Social Networking can be extremely helpful sometimes yet extremely harmful as well. No one wants to get into the harmful side of the picture with all the legal issues. However, if you know how to make full use of social media, it can bring knowledge across the universe!

Previously I've received many friends' request in Facebook after being serious in photography. I'm glad to be able to see more photographs from other photographers and at the same time, sharing my hard work with them. Joined more and more photography pages as well, to learn from even higher level photographers, to mentors and real professionals.

And recently, I started receiving friend request from overseas. Before I know, some of them requested me to comment on the photographs they took. I'm glad people out there look upon me as a professional in giving my best opinion to improve their photo taking. But I always put it clear to them that I'm far from being named as 'Professional' just because my photos look good. In fact, I started photography for merely 6 months. There's many other factors to look into, besides able to take nice photos, before being professional.

Lately, I've managed to balance up my life better. Having appropriate time for my passion, for family, for fiancé, for work, and for my friends too. During the 'mugged hard' phase in catching my dreams, I've neglected people important to me. Now that things are little bit much more stable, it's time to get things back onto tracks. I'm glad I've understanding friends, who claimed that I've been spending a lot of time in photography and not meet up with them. But after explaining the reason for the 'missing in action' or 'being too busy', they could understand and accept. Sometimes you just need friends' support to boost you further, and I'm happy to have supportive friends around me. Of course not forgetting the best people in life, my family, my fiancé. :)

All the little bits and pieces of fulfillment that I'm experiencing are a MUST to type down. Hoping that dreamers out there will get motivated in catching with their dreams. Give in your all, and don't ever give up. If you believe you can do it, you will make it!!!
