What a week...

After my last blog.. I've been utterly busy.. as I said, busy with life, work, sports and this time, not really much of photography..

I'm one of the sports committee as the softball convener for our company which speaks directly to the sports secretariat. I'm to organize a softball team for our company to participate the upcoming National Sports Carnival. I've done that successfully, except to get the whole team coming to training all at once. Which is rather difficult as most of the players works shift hours and some flies. I have to make sure all is well before handing the post as Manager and Convener to my cousin, who is also an employee.

In the previous post I mentioned probably a change in profession which is correct. I'm to leave the company I'm working for currently in a few weeks. But I'm still going to play under them for the PSK as a member of their club.

In all these busyness of team, training, trials and work as well... somehow affect my health as this week, when I went to work on Monday, my throat was really sore, had a runny nose and I was having bad headaches the past week. Then the next day, I could barely wake up. I had to go to the clinic and meet the doctor. I was diagnosed, that my throat is still infected and my left tonsil is swollen. So swollen that I was surprised that the doctor gave me 5 days of medical leave. He told me, no cough syrups. Just pain killers, medicines I couldn't pronounce and antibiotics. If the swelling wouldn't go away, I'm gonna have to go for surgery and have them removed. ERK!!!... I drank tepid hot drinks, lozenges and avoided cold drinks and anything that make my tonsils swell but took calamansi, lemon, lime and other sour stuffs to shrink my swollen tonsils. It worked and I don't have to undergo surgery. PHEW!!... What a relief.

5 days leave should've been fun if you're not sick. I'd be riding my motorcycle around and meeting my gf and do a lot of fun stuffs. Instead of staying home the whole week. Which reminds me, need to take my medication now. ;)

So I will start work again next week and I do hope I'm able to play in the Solidarity match this Sunday. *hoping I can start softball training, we'replaying in the semi-finals this Sunday.... that's 3 more days* That is another story, if I do take photos, they will be uploaded to my softball gallery, but if I'm too busy playing, I'll just snap a few, get the photos of winners and scores, then you can read it the next day in the local newspaper.

Hope I'll start photoblogging again soon. Time to sleep. I hope I'm a bit well tomorrow as I need to print my competition photos which deadline is on Saturday. Will get it printed and sent. Wish me luck. ;)

Clearing cobwebs... cough... ;p

FUH!!... My blog is full of cobwebs, I just realized that I haven't blogged since last Eid'. Been really busy with life, work, business, family events, wedding events, hired events, corporate events, sports events, national events and lots more... and I just recently came back from a trip to Jakarta... Yes, haven't flew off for a while, matter of fact didn't fly off at all last year.

So I was covering an international sports event and a wedding last February, covering a corporate event just before I flew off to Jakarta to play softball in the 2nd Giants Cup 2010 and covering it as well. I'll try to post the photos in the future as I'm having problem uploading the photos to my multiply softball album and to flickr album as well. I do hope I can get them uploaded before next year, as I have lots more events to cover.

And when I returned from Jakarta, I was sick, doctor told me that my throat is infected, probably because of the HOT weather. I was given 2 days medical leave for me to rest and not infect others... lol... I start work Monday which is tomorrow and I know, loads of work will be waiting for me. I do look forward to it though. I might finish them all in record time, like I always do, 2 weeks. ;)

Well, I do hope everything turns out well. We'll have the National Sports Carnival coming up soon, and I'm surely gonna play and cover it as well. And probably a change in profession. ;)

I'm gonna go back to processing the wedding photos, uploading the Jakarta softball photos and the National Day photos. And I need to check, process and upload the photoshoot with Syazlie as well. That is a lot!!..

Eid Mubarak 1430H/2009M

I haven't been blogging since July.. been really busy with work, photography events and life. And uploading photos to flickr is really killing me. An album of 10 photos, each less than 300kb took me 2-3 days and a maximum of a week to upload. So I'm gonna skip July, August and September *will probably blog them in future if I have the time*.

A month of ramadhan has passed and now it's Syawal... a festive season for all muslims... with that I would like to wish all muslims out there a Happy Eid.

Hepburn Theme - 12/07/09

Went to Empire with the gf, the owner of S-Touch to do make-up do of a Audrey Hepburn theme. She did the make-ups while I shoot as she starts until the finishing touch-ups. And I say, she did a marvelous job on the model. I could barely recognize her. She looked more mature and prettier. No wonder she's booked even for a wedding in 2010 and 2011.

Since it was a Sunday and we skipped breakfast, we were really hungry by lunchtime. So we went to the nearest fast food available to eat.

Yummy!

Then we went back to Empire Hotel and Country Club to meet the model and the other photographers and did the photoshoot together. They were about to wrap up and was taking a break. But I managed to shoot a few shots.

lovely make-up do
