Taken when the morning still new. The mist still beneath the surface. 1 Hour from Bangkok CIty Centre. I catched with this life. Would the kid be a Doctor someday?

Among my first snap in Cairo

mystery behind the hijab
|
|
|
Hi all, it been a while away from Malaysia. I'm now safely arrived in Cairo again after few days at Montazah Alexandria. A nice Meditranian city with 5 million population in 1 city. Just got back to my cozy room at Intercontinental Citystar Cairo after a few hours tour at Giza. This time i learn well how to ride a horse. Definately I'll jalan kengkang tomorrow. It's bad when it come on "makan" topic. Well, everywhere is halal here, just my tounge can't take anymore arabian food. I prefer to be in London instead. There are lot of options for Malaysian, Thai, Chinese and Indian food as compared to Cairo. Anyway, I have to say good bye to ally the fascinating things here. Nile Cruise Dinner, Night Bazaar, Ali Mosque, King Farouq mosque, Pyramid of Giza and the Mediteranian city of Alexandria. By the time you read this entry, i may probably on my way to Riyadh before taking Air India and fly to Mumbai.
My fiance just home few days ago and i have to leave her, i miss a dinner with my sweetheart. I suppose to go to sleep now, but here i just share you among my 1st photograph around Egypt. Unfortunately can't share much since it's belong to my client. To all my viewers...as usual, Enjoice!

Kaherah, Iskandariah & Mumbai - Another mile
|
|
Photo courtesy to aiswaryaworld.com & picturefree.com
Hi guys, I have to wave my hand again to KL. This time I'm flying off to Dubai then Kaherah before moving by road to Alexandria. I'll then fly back to Mumbai for few more days. Only then I'll home. This time it would be for 10 days. For those interested to any of our services with our dynamic team of photographers & designers, please contact Adi at 0136404980. You can email your enquiry straight to me and I'll get someone to get back to u very soon.
It's good that i can travel around and get back to KL for wedding weekend then continue again. There'll be few more destination yet to be confirmed like Veana & Paris. Beijing & Jiang Su will come tentatively after Mumbai. Enough travelling this year, i get too much inflight food already. The good thing is, according to my calculation I can get a free trip to Italy from my Enrich point redeem. Good news for my Italian Job next May. Until half June next year, I appreciate those who want to give me more international assignment, but it's quite tight schedule with other confirmed trip and weddings.
Last time, I can just dreaming of doing what I'm doing right now. Through sweat and tears Alhamdulillah, I'm now doing my profession like a life retirement. Pity my fiance, she need to work to payback her contract  Again, wish me all the best and safe trip! Enjoice!

I'm Home from the Kingdom of Thai
|
|
Hi guys! I'm home again for the wedding season. It was a good trip to Bangkok, Chiang Mai & Chiang Rai. Just presented the photographs to the client. Well, their respond make me feel so good to have a dinner with my fiance tonight (Yes, she's home from UK last nite). Since lot of images taken during my stay in Thailand should be kept private. Then, I just share whichever can be shared here.
Currently I'm cleaning-up my lenses, cameras and gear and pack it into the bag again. It's ready for the next trip to Kaherah (Cairo), Iskandariah (Alexandria) and Mumbai this coming Tuesday. There will be another long away, but not too long. Only for 10 days and still can come home and take another wedding weekend
THE MAKING - RESULT
Sometime 1 shot take me hours of waiting. Some people asked me, how do i take good photograph. And it's hard to answer that question. Maybe to answer that, i can share here how do i wait and get for my shot. You can clearly see "The Making" and "The Result". Maybe from that u can have more idea how do i work.
Enjoice!

Leaving to Bangkok this Morning
|
|
Guys, my 1st destination after the raya season. I just can't afford to spend 1 whole month for Raya. And my plan for some small makan2 also need to be postponed. All due to the hectic schedule weekend & weekdays. I guess i need to postpone my open house outside month of raya. Probably as a makan2 while announcing our official wedding date with my princess. She'll be back for good soon. Good luck Ponny! Today, I want to tell you guys about a PARODY
PARODY : MARKETING MELALUI KUTUK2
Macam2 lah kalau orang yg tak kenal SN mungkin ada yang tau melalui cerita2 baik. Tak kurang juga yg mengenali saya melalui cerita2 negatif. Perkara ni sebenarnya acapkali berlaku. Sehingga terdetak pulak nak keluarkan cerita ni.
Ada segelintir kecil yang tak berpuas hati dgn SN. Biasalah tu kan, takkan semua org puas hati jer, walaupun kita tak kacau org. Tapi kebiasaannya yang "Berhaluan kiri" ni lah yang sgt vocal. Kalau dalam 100 ada 1 pun dah cukup untuk riuh. Dulu ada gak rasa down, tapi duluuuu punya cerita lah. Sekarang tak ambik port dah sejak berlaku kejadian pertama bulan 2 tahun ni, kemudian berulang beberapa kali hinggalah yg terbaru ni hehehhe...kejadian apa?
Alkisah ceritanya begini. Customer saya ni tak kenal pun siapa SN ni lagi. Tapi oleh kerana beliau kenal dgn puak golongan berhaluan kiri ni, yg sering mengadakan sessi2 tehtarik untuk mengutuk apa2 yang saya tersalah langkah, tersalah cakap dan jugak apa2 yg tak salah apa pun Nak dijadikan cerita, dari pertemuan2 yg unofficial ni, mereka ni dengarlah nama SN tu buat pertama kalinya. Lantas di google nama Saiful Nang tu. Since nama tu agak unique so senang dapat page saya. Kemudian diteliti satu persatu hasil kerja saya dan juga ada yg track dari 1st entry lagik. Dari situ juga terjumpa official website kami cs.com dan dengan penilaian sendiri beliau tertarik dengan gaya photography saya yg tak seberapa ni. Lalu beliau call saya dan kita berbincang tentang 1 project commercial. Alhamdulillah, antara project commercial CS yg terbesar jugak lah kiranya daripada Word of Mouth negative. Macam tak percaya jer. Tapi setelah client dah jadi macam kawan dgn kita dan kebiasaannya pun begitu lah, baru lah tau cerita ceriti tu. Allah maha besar...
To date dah ada 3 kes yg saya trace macam tu. Tapi not bad kan. Rupa2nya perkataan buruk pun boleh jadi baik. Jadi sejak itu saya dah berfikir positif tentang cerita2 negatif yang memang sebagai manusia biasa saya tak dapat nak mengelak dan menghalang. Manusia ada mulut untuk bercakap, dan tak ada apa yg boleh menutup mulut manusia kecuali mati. Sambil mengemas2 barang untuk berangkat ke Bangkok besok pagi, penerbangan Malaysia pertama saya tersenyum2 sendiri. Teringan Mr. John Jacobson di Bangkok heheheh. Dulu ada orang yang guna nama dan website dia untuk memberi komen negatif dlm fp saya, yg berkesudahan beliau pelik dgn banyak "hit" datang dari fp ni. Tak pasal2 orang tu pun dah kenal kita. Kita pun tak kenal dia sgt. Tapi John ni pemilik studio indoor terbesar di south-east asia 100,000sf luas. Saya masih senyum sorang2 lagi sekarang...pasal John Jacobson dah jadi kawan saya dah.
Kan indah dunia ni bila Allah sebagai pengadilnya. Dulu terasa terinaya juga dgn fitnah2 buruk tu, tapi kuasa Allah akhirnya menyongsangkan akibat itu kepada sesuatu yg sangat baik untuk diri sendiri dan orang2 yg terdekat dgn saya. Saya sentiasa berfikir positif tentang orang lain. Sentiasa juga meletakkan kesalahan kepada diri sendiri dahulu sebelum menyalahkan orang lain supaya kita nampak. Kadang2 kita tak sedar, bila 1 jari kita menuding kepada orang lain, 4 jari lagi melipat menuding diri sendiri. Pikir2 kan lah yer...
Wish me a safe trip to Bangkok. Enjoice!

Whatta Boring Day huhh!!
|
 |
|
curiousity...
|
|
 |
|
happiness
|
|
|
I work 18 hours a day, 7 days a week and i never say this phrase "Whatta a Boring Day Huhhh!!" in doing something i REALLY LOVE TO DO. Doing something i really love to do...no space for boredom Wake-up early, get breakfast, reading newspaper, go to office, meeting at customers' office, attending customer & gallery visitors, updating website, community work, and a lotttt more routine every day.
Some friend of mine used to meet me once in a week. Now, we just meet-up once in a year. Some understand, some don't. Those who don't understand normally claim that I'm sombong. But my life changed from a One man show freelancer taking wedding photography to a business entity & organisation. I have few number of people need to be fed every month. Then, I have no time to relax.
Gambar hiasan jer. Muka budak2 boring kena pegi skolah
VACATION
In the year 2005, i work 7 days a week, 20 hours a day (Like no one business) and i got myself a retreat vacation regionally once in 3 month. But it's regional lah. Mostly it sponsored by my customers. What's wrong going for a vacation trip and work for 1 day, and earn to spend for the rest of the stay. This time, my vacation friend was hasrul ( http://hasrulandry.fotopages.com ). Then move to 2006 which i work 18 hours a day and 7 days a week. Then i get myself a retreat in the UK & Eire for 1 month. Also the same case, work to earn there, then spend for a holiday.
I worked in 1 chinese organisation before commiting into self-business. I observed everyone of them work like a dog...so "kiasu". And i get the spill of that aura. They work to perform everyday, everynight for our BOSS. Once in a year, they'll be missing for 2-4 weeks. Holiday...saving money a year to get 1 perfect holiday. Why should we go holiday? because we DESERVE to get it. I work 18-20 hours a day, nobody ever care about that. Wealthy doesnt come so easy. Lot of sacrifices need to be done. I never know about Starbuck or Bukit Bintang lifestyle when i was 20th-26th...to many things to do, too little time to waste. But now, i get better payback.
JAUH BERJALAN LUAS PANDANGAN
A good chapter to discuss. My first travel outside country was in middle 2004. This time, my passport get the 1st stamp. I dont have lot of money last time. I just bring around RM300 but i really insist to see what the outside world can offer. Then i decided to take a bus from puduraya to Hadyai. And another bus from Hadyai to Phuket whch cost me RM120 return. Well, I enjoy the stay in the resthouse at RM30 per night 200 metres from the beach.
Once i'm home, the pleasure of vacation has gone...1 thing remain is, the experience. I have to travel when i have no idea what to do. By travelling, we can see what we can do in the future and what best can be applied at our home country. Just like visiting our neighbour. We sit at their garden and watch a nice mini water fountain, and it really refreshing. Once we home, we feel that we want to create the waterfountain but slidely bigger and it come through the garden to the living hall. Well, the idea & the innovation <---------- this is the word.
With Air Asia, everyone can fly. With AirAsia, i can comlete my route in all the countries in South East Region. Just plan your trip, give your body a "Retreat" that can make u a Wiser person after that. I eat everyday, and never missed a single day. And i have to travel everyyear...an di promise to myself, i'll never misses any single year. This time ahead, I'll have my lifetime travel companion My future wife ( http://kak-long.fotopages.com ). She's planning for the route of our great vacation next year now
For the readers, go holiday! 3 days retreat is good enuff to ease the whole sweat in a year. Trust me...and u'll get wiser somemore. Enjoice!

WHAT I DID IN MY RAYA
We went to KB for this wedding. I'm quite happy that Kelantan is our NO.2 market after KL. I can't believe this but the fact is, we manage to get more Kelantanese instead of those in other states. Me and Adi splitted into 2 since I have to hunt for some photos for 1 documentary assignment. Later i joined them at PCB for a portraiture session. Well...for those who getting married NEXT year, we have SURPRISE for you Just wait and see.
Ok, for this wedding couple, u can check the full entry at http://adinang.fotopages.com .ENjoice!
Tak pernah terfikir pulak pada hari ini, 2 tahun yang lepas 2004 semasa mula2 mendapat bayaran pertama untuk mengambil gambar perkahwinan. Tak pernah pikir pun setelah dua tahun saya dapat berantau ke tempat2 yang sebelum ni hanya tengok di TV sahaja.
2 tahun yg lepas, ada photographer yg dah lama dalam industry photography memberi satu kata semangat kepada saya berbunyi begini...
"Wedding Photography ni tak boleh pergi jauh lah Pol..."
Sehingga sekarang pun saya masih lagi seorang "Wedding Photography". Hanya bertapak dengan sebuah kamera pinjam bermodal RM90. Marketing FREE pasal fotopage Free dan Word of Mouth juga Free. Teringat2 cerita lama, macam2 yang terkenang dalam hati. Tak pernah pikir nak jadi macam sekarang walaupun sedari awal memang merancang untuk jadi macam sekarang. Tapi yg tak sangka tu, dia berlaku dalam tempoh 2 tahun. 2 tahun dari seorang yang hampir "Zero" pasal photography. Photography ni pun terjadi setelah kejatuhan 2 perniagaan yang diusahakan sebelum tu. Sehinggalah dgn photography ni saya belajar apa yang kita buat lebih berhasil jika disertai dengan minat yg mendalam. Tanpa minat, tetapi hanya memikirkan keuntungan, memang perniagaan tu tak dapat kita hayati sepenuhnya (seperti yg terjadi kepada 2 perniagaan saya sebelum itu).
Tak sangka dah 2 tahun dah jarak dari "duit pertama" dalam photography hinggalah ke hari ini. Kalau dulu dengan hanya kamera pinjam, lens pinjam, flash pinjam sehingga sekarang saya dah ada range equipment yg lengkap untuk mengambil gambar wedding dan juga commercial. Dulu hanya mimpi2 sahaja. Alhamdulillah, dari sokongan melalui rekomendasi dari bekas2 pelanggan saya dan juga viewer2 fotopage ini samaada di dalam ataupun diluar negara. Banyak nama yg perlu disebut jika hendak disebutkan. Nama2 ni sebenarnya yang membawa saya sehingga ke UK, Ireland, Paris, Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia dan orang2 ini lah yang saya harus beri penghormatan yang tinggi kerana pertolongan mereka "tidak berbayar" tetapi semata2 atas dasar menolong.
Sempena raya Aidilfitri ni, satu rahmat rasanya pada saya. Dan antara rahmat yang paling besar yg pernah Allah kurniakan dalam kerjaya saya ialah ANDA semua.Orang yang tak putus2 bercerita tentang keunikan CS, org2 yg tak jemu2 memberi komen yg membina melalui email dan juga SMS. Dan ada juga antaranya yang saya tak pernah kenal siapa tetapi telah memberi rekomendasi kepada berbelas2 pasangan pengantin. Saya bersukur kepada Allah, selepas 2 tahun saya masih lagi di sini dan masih terus mengorak langkah. Hanya Allah yang dapat membalas ANDA semua.

Because I LOVE her to the maximum level now...i made her THIS
I LOVE HER!!
HARI RAYA MESSAGE
Guys, sempena raya ni saya nak mohon MAAF sekiranya ada yang berkecil hati, atau apa2 yang tidak menyenangkan dari saya kepada semua. Kepada message2 SMS yg tak sempat terjawap, saya ingat anda yang menghantarnya walaupun tak berkesempatan untuk membalasnya. Begitu juga kepada yang JAUH dan yg DEKAT yang menghantarkan kad ucapan Hari Raya kepada saya yg MUNGKIN juga tak sempat saya nak membalas nya. Jangan risau, kepada yg menghantar tu, anda sentiasa di ingatan. Last year dapat Kad Raya handmade, tahun ni pun ada jugak Alhamdulillah  Ada last year ada yg antar handmade kad raya dari Newcastle Upon Tyne lagik, this year tak dapat pasal dah sibuk jaga 2 org baby rasanya
Apa pun, terima kasik kepada semua yang ingat kepada saya. Dan saya juga tak lupa kepada mereka yang menghantarnya. Ingatan itu pun dah cukup bermakna walaupun tak disertakan Sampul Hijau berisi nota Unggu 20 helai. APapun, Selamat Hari Raya kepada semua...arini ada mood jiwang sikit, sebab tu entry ni share dgn entry jiwang. Kesian org baju merah kat atas tu kena beraya di UK. Kad raya dia tahun lepas punya pun sampai hari ni tak sampai2 lagik. Takpe lah...ENjoice!

THE MAKING - Documentary Photoshoot - Pahang Series
|
|
Imagine the shooting happen in a tick jungle, need to go boating for few hours, isolated village in the middle of the jungle and in last but the most challenging part was...it happen in the Fasting Month! Phewww...
It was 4 days full of Photographic Opportunity. Thanks God! eventhough in jerebu (living in the jungle get nothing better in jerebu weather). The trip started in Kuala Lipis then move to Jerantut and Taman Negara in the 1st day. 1 night stay at Mutiara Taman Negara, a place where u can easily see wild boar (piggy) walking around the resort. The hotel may need more vacum cleaner i think...then the hire partimer.
Early morning in the 2nd day, we start our trip heading towards "Ulu Tembeling". The water level was low means...we have to tow the boat at someplace. Wonderful experience...huhh...more to tell in this trip. I believe the picture can tell the whole things easily.
One most enjoyable experience was...the "Ikan Sungai Treat" all the time in this state. End-up with another Patin & Keli for buka puasa at my hometown at Felda Tementi, Bandar Bera. Glad to have all people in one team that really really sporting and helpful. Thanks to Uncle Said and Khalik from Travel Officer from Kuantan, Zam & Laily (Kg. Bantal Trip guide), Farah (Tukang kena sakat), Abg Zul, Abg Dale (The Guest House owner), Tok Empat, Tukang boat 2 org, Cikgu2 sekolah Kg. Bantal, Tok Batin2 kg. org asli terutama sekali Tok Bemban and most important man behind me...my assistant Hafiz Ismail. This set of picture definately came from his camera while he's busy carrying the series of lenses and peripherals for this shooting.
It was simply the best experience i ever have...after i left University. Hhahaha...Enjoice!!
