Sunrise @ Buntal Fishing Village

To capture these images below, I had to wake up at 4am in the morning and travel to Buntal Fishing Village on an empty stomach. If you are lucky, the sky would start lighting up around 5.30am, or else one can just pack up and go home. Luck was with me for this is my first photo trip to the village. Not the end of the story, I encountered a sea snake when I was walking on the beach and the look of it caused me to freeze and have goose bumps. Secondly, when you plan to go there for this type of photo shoot, don't forget to carry with you a mosquito repellent (I learned the hard way, as I did not have any).

Majlis Bercukur

My first commercial photowork. Majlis Bercukur is similar to the Chinese custom of inviting relatives and guests to a dinner reception after a month of the birth of their baby (full moon) and also the cutting of the baby's hair. The Malays would be holding this event 7-days onwards from the birth of their baby. This baby is 4 months old.





The Quran recital team.


The Food.

One of the guests at the function - I took a photo of him cos of the big beautiful eyes.


This fellow here is their in-house photographer.
