Divine Contract.
After a so called ‘holiday’, today, i’m back to work :)
The world has to be fair to everyone else. When i get to enjoy my charamel machiato on weekdays in jeans and tshirt, the rest is facing desktop in a concrete bulding in formal wear. However, today is my turn to pull up my sleeve and work while everyone is still sle...eping in their pj on their comfy bed enjoying the public holiday. Its Wesak Day today. I didn’t realize until I saw a very clear traffic (which is a very very rare scene to see) on my way to my client’s place. How I wished everyday is like today.
It feels good to be back to shooting. Edana Melissa is my cousin’s friend. Thanks Aida for recommending me to her. This again proves that the world is not that big anyway. For the nth time, I get to meet someone I knew or somehow connected direct or indirectly to me. It was a pleasure working with you and reza. It is always fun to shoot jovial couples like them. Reza is a funny guy. I heard his friend uttered, no one will ever befriended reza if he is not funny due to his serious look. Well, I did not feel a stranger even though this is the first time we’ve met. Too bad I am not able to cover Edana’s reception tonight at Felda Villa. I’m sure it’s a gonna be a beautiful garden wedding. You’ll be in good hands. See you guys next week!

The musings
Hello world! It feels ages since i wrote anything lengthy here. I have always loved blogging. I used to blog everyday, sometimes 2 to 3 posts per day 
That was then when i was working in the office. Not to say i was bone idle, sit and do nothing better than blogging but the urge of writing was spirited by the fact that you will still get your paycheck the next month if you feel a bit lazy that day to work. On a contrary, being my own boss gives me no time to cheat. No more updating ‘what movie i watch today’ or ‘who i bumped into today’ kinda posts.
Its been 3 years since i last worn the 3 piece suit and high heels and sit in an air-conditioned concrete building for 8 hours or more and worry about my blistered feet. Yes, I detached myself from the organization about 3 year plus ago to do photography fulltime. Being able to wear flip flops, jeans and tshirt is the best thing i’ve ever done in my life besides being able to work your passion as a career. Photography used to be my love affair until I decided to get married to it and pursue as my professional career. I never regret the decision I’ve made, instead I feel so blessed with the hidden talent I never knew I had. Thank god. Years go by so quickly. I have had 3 wonderful years of flexi hours, being able to workout in the morning till noon, shopping when there is not much people in a shopping mall, watching movies without having to stand in a long queue for tickets and do my editings on a comfy couch with a caramel machiato on my side accompanied by jazzy music all day long. But the grass is always greener on the other side no matter on which side of the earth you are standing. Why am I saying this? Have I lost passion in photography now? Definitely No. No way. Never. Am I joining the workforce again? Perhaps. Even though how much I hate to be in the rat race.
So what is the issue now? There is always 2 sides to every story. One day, I realized how tired I am. At some point I told myself, maybe I just need a time off from this commitment or probably go for a holiday. Don’t take any photoshoot assignments for a mo and just relax. Let the camera hibernate for a month or two. But did it really rest? Haha. No. But yes, I paused myself from taking any jobs for few months, but I did some personal project so called shoot-anything-crappy-everyday. This sounds funny but surprisingly this is a good therapy and it really feeds my soul. This project reminds me how i fell in love with photography the first time. The project still continues and I made a vow to myself that this will go on for 365 days. Looks like I am jumping into a more serious commitment? Haha. But this is a fun commitment. No one will penalize me, its just me and my wild imaginary ideas.
I hope i did answer the question from those people who emailed me asking why i did not post new photos lately. The temporary absence allow me to take a deep breath, inhale with deep thinking and exhale with new ideas and decide what I want to do next. I’m glad I have found the solution

This bird got my eyes glued. He was busy eating his meal at the same time the gesture is showing a clear statement to the others not to come any nearer. This is MY territory. So buzz off!

18/365 | SELF CENTERED
I couldn't think of any better caption for this. The moment i see this him, he was looking arrogantly straight at me. Very strong in character, bold and egoistic.
17/365 | STREET CAT II
i'm back!! i got my camera back.. i know it has to kitty subject again. being cameraless for a week made my creative brain freeze without idea. There's too much in mind. There's too much time spent on putting bits and pieces together. Yes, I am about to make a big decision but GOD knows.. in a mean time, here's a my 17th.

16/365 | BAD DREAMS
Last night i had a very bad dream. They say superstitiously its not good to share bad dreams with people. But today, i want to share my crazy dreams with you. Maybe it was the late night movie i watched before bed. Or maybe i was disturbed by the shocking news that people commit murders with no mercy these days. Sad to say, there is no single day on the news without any murder cases.

15/365 | REST-LESS
It was a tiring day.. or lazy is a better word to describe my day. Had a nice 6km morning run. I'm not physically tired due the run, but my body demanded the rest. Tried to do some work today to kill my guilt but my brain stops functioning so i decided to lie down and read something fun. I guess i was just restless.. or rest-less??!! i let the hormones speak for today..

14/365 | ABANDONED
abandoned stack of carbonated drinks hiding behind a huge trunk. i love the classy colors of the coke bottles and how they were stacked on top of each other by those rustic rotten zinc.
