<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many may have visited the F<strong>GS Dong Zen Temple located at Jenjarom, Selangor</strong>. While t</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">housands of photos of either the same angle or unique angles may have been taken, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've taken a lil photography twist to it by making a photo that emphasized lotus flower shaped candles against </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">bokeh effect Buddha Rupa background.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">With this new perspective, it is to convey the message that the Buddha Rupa is still the main subject, still a subject of respect by Buddhists, whilst for others, Lord Buddha is One of the many religous icon to be looked-up upon. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we mention about organic food, there are of course tonnes and tonnes of restaurants in the market that sell or serve organic food as part of their menu.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, when it comes to a resort that is wholly organic coupled with luxury spa facilities, it is believed that this is countable using our 10 fingers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">In Malaysia, I have never known that there is such a Spa & Organic Wellness Resort until and after I was offered an employment with Berjaya Hills Resort</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Under the umbrella of Berjaya Hills Resort, there lies <a href="http://www.thechateau.com.my/">The Chateau</a>. Located at Bukit Tinggi, Pahang, The Chateau is believed to be the World's First Spa & Organic Wellness Resort... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">For a person or couples who wish to experience a total pampering and to experience a life of "King" or "Queen", most of the guests who have already been to this wellness resort would highly recommend it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Below are some casual shots that I have taken for the resort prior to a VVIP visit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has always been the case that whenever people talk about beautiful island getaway, the name "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maldives"><span style="color: #f4cccc;">Maldives</span></a>" will surely pop up as one of the top destinations well known for its breathless beaches.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">However in my case, as an 'Anak Malaysia' myself, I have always made it a point to travel locally even before considering international travel destinations out of Malaysia.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In one of my random work adventure, I was asked to travel to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thetaaras#!/thetaaras"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">the Taaras</span></a>, located at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redang_Island"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Pulau Redang, off Terengganu coast in Malaysia</span></a>. Without any idea how the resort island would look like in the beginning, I started my journey to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thetaaras#!/thetaaras"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">the Taaras</span></a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Quipped with t<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">heoretical knowledge of the resort, I took my first step by flying off to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulau_Redang"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Pulau Redang</span></a> via <a href="https://www.berjaya-air.com/"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">BERJAYA Air</span></a>. When I landed at the island, within the next hour, I was already on my feet touring the resort. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The original intention of the tour was not to make any pictures. Instead, it was a site inspection for me to understand better of the place. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFgVJ5yKx59W8YUyOc7bDlYlJ54Y9p7UdT8C2p744Li1FOJlXyv9XIygm0RcuvZD9-JUSeEfUnMfzMwFirI9jEjhaJX82qAzLqwI78ubH0W96q4YoHGrACT2zmKSsOQelc4VgWyEOTg_88/s1600/20121023_131846.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFgVJ5yKx59W8YUyOc7bDlYlJ54Y9p7UdT8C2p744Li1FOJlXyv9XIygm0RcuvZD9-JUSeEfUnMfzMwFirI9jEjhaJX82qAzLqwI78ubH0W96q4YoHGrACT2zmKSsOQelc4VgWyEOTg_88/s640/20121023_131846.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Under the beautiful sunny yet breezy weather, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thetaaras#!/thetaaras"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">the Taaras</span></a> shined like a pearl in the big ocean.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Touring around the resort without making any pictures is totally a waste. Without any hessitation, I have agreed with my sub-conscious mind to whip out my <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphone/android-os/GT-I9100OIGXME"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">Samsung Galaxy SII</span></a> to make some photos of the place <span style="font-size: x-small;">(note: I normally will use my EOS Canon 1D MkIV to make photos professionally).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Within the next 1 hour, I have already recorded some beautiful photos of the place. Like the saying goes, "while a person listen and carry out a task on a topic, s/he will comprehend better". After the half-day tour around the resort, I am now richer in knowledge about <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thetaaras#!/thetaaras"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">the Taaras</span></a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Unlike the taboo of thinking that its unsafe to travel to East Coast islands in Malaysia due to the rainy season, I believe that these are merely taboo. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">With the pictures recorded only yesterday, 23/10/12, this would proof to people that they should actually explore around and broaden their perspective in life. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Let not the taboo tie us down like the anchors used by boats.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">If it has not been the travel to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thetaaras#!/thetaaras"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">the Taaras</span></a> this time around, I would not have known the beauty of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thetaaras#!/thetaaras"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">the Taaras</span></a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">From what I understand, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thetaaras#!/thetaaras"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;">the Taaras</span></a> will be open through year 2012. If you like the pictures on my blog, you would surely like the actual scenary of the place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Signing off at 0303 hours, 24/10/12. Oh btw, I have just came back from a deep sea fishing. The weather here was just great!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In this world, there are many types of friends. FRIENDS FOR LIFE - who sworn to be together till death apart us, FAIR WEATHERED FRIENDS - who are there only with a reason, GOD CREATED FRIENDS - but who are they?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In my own context, God created friends are friends who silently understand us human beings no matter its up or downs. These friends are none other than our pets.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">After several months of not updating my photo blog, I could say that there have been a few things that have changed in my life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">One of the most important happening that has taken place in my life is that I have moved on with my career, but, still doing photography as somewhat my passion and my side profession.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">With my new job, I am now based on a hill that is appx 3000 feet above sea level, making new friends which are mainly the pine trees, monkeys and even some wild animals. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sparing you the details of my new friends, I am now warming up my fingers in taking pics. I am have been going around to create momentful photos...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">With the pic above, guess what plant is it? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Until I post some other pics, stay stuned!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we talk or hear about photography, some people tend to associate it with affordable camera brands like either Canon or Nikon, if not Hasselblad, Leica or any other big names.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Again, as I was still waiting for the creatives of our ad campaigns to be shown to me for a final signature in the wee hours of May 19, 2012, I have dug out some pics taken in the days where I could still 'feng thou' everyday! =)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I have realised that since the below pic was taken, it has been 11 years that I have left NST Penang news desk. I had the privilege to snap a photo Simon Yam, Canon's Brand Ambassador and well known Hong Kong artist.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we talk about how pesky my life was or even until present moment, I can say that I extremely <span style="color: red;"><u><strong>love</strong></u></span> living my life to the very edge of it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>"Operation Carcass"</strong> was a staged 'murder' that took place at Rivermead Campus at Anglia Ruskin University (formerly known as Anglia Polytechnic University). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Amongst the questions they’ve asked was whether could I extend any discount for ticket purchase if not, </font><font size="3" face="Verdana">extend some media complimentary tickets to them?</font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Verdana">My stand for my friends was: “Kindly please purchase your tickets from the ticketing agent. There should be discount for early bird.”</font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Verdana">My statement for my media contact was : “Lemme try arrange for you directly from the organizer.”</font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Verdana">Speaking from my experience as a P.R. practitioner as well as a person who was from the media before, I believe that in order for any events to be successful, there must be extensive media support and coverage. P.R practitioners <u>must</u> always remember that without the support from the media, no matter how good a concert could be, the coverage for the event may not be as good as expected. Ad dollars could only bring awareness, but it does not bring an insight to the public over the event.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Verdana">For ‘smarter’ events people, they turn around saying that “Events are the core of every companies. Marketing PR is just a supporting division to the events.”</font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Verdana">I leave the above quote for you to judge. As an industry practitioner, you tell me what are your thoughts to these statements? </font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Verdana">As you are aware that my passion is in photography and I earn a living from doing commissioned photography works apart from being a PR practitioner, Pitbull Concert photography has added another credential to my photo portfolio.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Verdana">The photos below were taken by Canon EOS 1D MkIV and Canon’s latest EF 8-15mm f4L Fish Eye Lens; technical details are tagged to the pics.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Verdana">Tech Details: <strong>Shutter Speed:</strong> 1/32, <strong>Aperture:</strong> f4.5, <strong>ISO:</strong> 2500 </font></p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-0PQlc-qZ9ps/Tu2LPFW87-I/AAAAAAAAAm0/A-R91Fz3wxc/s1600-h/LKP_5340aWORDEDJPG_resize%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="LKP_5340aWORDEDJPG_resize" border="0" alt="LKP_5340aWORDEDJPG_resize" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-4oRvI4E0wQ4/Tu2LP7m8vKI/AAAAAAAAAm4/87sLi5vT5aI/LKP_5340aWORDEDJPG_resize_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="829" height="614"></a></p> <p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Verdana">Tech Details : <strong>Shutter Speed:</strong> 1/64, <strong>Aperture:</strong> f5.6, <strong>ISO:</strong> 3200 </font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="3" face="Verdana"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ud51t4Nd3LM/Tu2LQvPEqzI/AAAAAAAAAnA/PeAi-y7WxHc/s1600-h/LKP_5487aWORDEDJPG_resize%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="LKP_5487aWORDEDJPG_resize" border="0" alt="LKP_5487aWORDEDJPG_resize" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-YdL8Ua8H5cc/Tu2LRdOEkGI/AAAAAAAAAnI/5RkudhkVWoE/LKP_5487aWORDEDJPG_resize_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="830" height="621"></a></font></p> Kah Peng LOKEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14710465148614692711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97885562585520319.post-45631880076565109042011-12-18T12:39:00.001+08:002011-12-18T13:55:43.951+08:00There aint any mountain too high to conquer!<p> </p> <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana">As I blinked my eyes this morning, I’ve realized that we are already nearly at the end of year 2011. I have realized that for the past 12 full moons (with ref to every 15th day of Lunar month), there were many things that I have accomplished successfully; one of the proudest project was to roll out a full 360 degrees marketing campaign Aladdin the Musical @ Sunway Lagoon. Of course, all these were made possible with great assistance of my close colleagues : ‘Merpati’, ‘Hua Hee’ and ‘Malam Jumaat’. </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana">Despite t</font><font face="Verdana">hat things at work were smooth sailing, I must say that moments spent with my family and my loved ones have been <u>totally robbed</u>. This is a very expensive price that I must pay and compensate.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana">Moving forward, on my side photography quest, I could proudly mention that all photos that I have snapped are fully utilized for several above-the-line campaigns and below-the-line campaigns. All in all, you can roughly say that my images have gone on </font><font face="Verdana">Unipols, Billboards, Editorials, Press & Mag Ads, Promo posters, Leaflets, Online Visuals, Buntings etc.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana">In my pure opinion, there aint any mountain too high that mankind could conquer.

<br />
Instead of publishing the latest images which I yet to secure the consent of my clients to publish it, I would rather choose some older pics to be blogged.<br />
<br />
I had the opportunity of shooting a wedding reception at <a href="http://www.bankersclub.com.my/">Banker's Club</a>. While Banker's Club is build with beautiful ambience lightings specially to create the 'mood', this can pose a challenging task for photographers.<br />
<br />
Don't want to go into details of how dim the lights were, I am sharing with you some pics that were snapped during the beautiful wedding reception of Hong Kait & Joanne.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: xx-small;">(p.s. : I did mention in one of my recent postings eventhough that wedding photography is not my forte and actual branding, I still accept wedding photography assignments. These assignments are taken for the name of photographic passion and experience differentiation.)</span><br />

<br />
Yes, I have heard the bells ringing... not only once, not only twice, but it has been several times hearing it. The bells that we are talking are about Weddings... "The matrimonial reunion of two different individuals as <strong>One</strong>!"<br />
<br />
With the advancement of technology and a drop of market price for Digital Single Lens Reflect (DSLR) cameras, it's just anyone and everyone on the roads can now claim to be a 'seasoned' photographer. <br />
<br />
What more, with the all-time favourite terms like "PhotoJournalist", "Wedding Photojournalist", "Professional Photographer" etc, people are constantly and persistently without fail abused these terms. <br />
<br />
Not only they abused the usage of these terms, some can even extend their so called professional services at wayyyyy below market price. Of course again, the ones who are already award winning deserve to wear the recognitions and stand by their brand positioning.<br />
<br />
Fast forward, for those who are offering below market rates, it's actually not about the price that they could offer to the couple. The most important thing about wedding photography (since we are talking about wedding bells) is about how good they could <strong>capture that memorable moments </strong>for the couple. This is especially so important when the wedding is the First ONE AND ONLY BIG DAY in their LIFE!<br />
<br />
Not to dwell into that too much, as a person who takes photos commercially as well as for publication purposes, there have been times that I have been engaged to snap wedding photos - be it a Church wedding, Hindu wedding, Malay Wedding, Chinese wedding, garden wedding, beach wedding etc, I am compelled to deliver the best photos that I could.<br />
<br />
For every click that I hit on my camera shutter button, it must be at least something that could allow the couple to 'flash back' to the sweet memories of their big day when flipped through my photos.<br />
<br />
Not to crap too much about how good and how bad things are, I hope that you would like the pics taken at a Church Wedding.<br />

Until recently when I traveled to Singapore for an award ceremony, I took the opportunity to visit <a href="http://www.rawa.com.my/">Rawa Island</a>. <br />
<br />
From the information we got about the island even before we landed our feet on the virgin white sandy island, the island has been the talk-of-people for having pristine clear water. These city folks have been talking about its pristine clean water, not mentioning the corals that are underwater and other amazing island getaway experience...<br />
<br />
Oh... One of the things why the island can still be kept clean is because its a non-commercial island which is privately owned. <br />
<br />
I managed to capture some images of the island - the published two images which i personally love! :p<br />
