Safely Arrived in London
|
|
Sampai jugak walaupun kena menjawab selama hampir 1 jam kat immigration. Agak2 diorang ni alergic dgn nama orang yg ada "mohamad" ni. Dari dulu sampai sekarang. 1st time masuk pun susah, dah banyak kali masuk pun susah gak. Heishh..penging deorang ni.
Nothing much today except harini hari terakhir Prime Minister Tony Blair. Sampai jer airport terus ambik train ke Waterloo. Jumpa Azlan dan beberapa minit lepas tu jumpa lagi satu azlan dgn marisa bersama anak kecik comel dia Azmarea. Best!! makan kat restoran malaysia kat sini. At least MUCHHHH better dari makanan kat atas plane (MAS) pelik betul, harga makin naik, makan makin kurang dan makin tak sedap. Imagine lah, lunch 1pm dinner 11pm. Lapar nak mati pulak atas tu. Untuk elakkan lapar...cara terbaik ialah tidur.
Now stay kat Plaze on The River Hotel. Damn! miss 1 day kalau tak selisih dgn Rio Ferdinand in this hotel (Azlan cakap lah). Thanks Azlan Awadz bagi tumpang apartment dia kat River Thames ni. Good hospitality. Now, I'm sharpening my camera for the SHowtime on Friday. I miss my wife now (Sounds corny...lantakk lahhh  )
Ok, Enjoice!!

Tea Ceremony - Jason & Siok Yee
|
|
Photo Caption: 1. A door game was about to bully the groom & friends before they permitted to go upstairs to see the bride. 2. Jason ran to get the bride. It was pretty much like a riot hehhee 3. Maybe she got no idea what was happening around.
A few snapshots i took before our Royal Wedding coverage in Brunei. They are now happily honeymoon in USA. Chinese wedding from my perspective is very natural. Full of emotion and too many moments to be captured. I have thousand of photographs which i hardly remove even one. And these 3 pictures above were selected in random. Well, it's not the best, more stunning pictures for their collection. Every picture tells different story. Check the full entry of Jason & Siok Yee at our website www.candidsyndrome.com. It was great when i can capture somethings that their eyes missed. It was totally a great experience to capture all those moment. Enjoice!

A week Break in KL
|
 |
|
I'm like a bird, I want to fly away...
|
|
|
|
Hi Guys, I'm home from 2 weeks hectic schedule for the Royal Wedding in Brunei. Landed yesterday and still need to count a few more days before i have to fly again to London for another Wedding function. This time...a White British couple. I promised to my office as well as my wife, that would be the last trip i'll commit this year. I started to miss my appointments with clients, i missed malaysian wedding and i really miss to update my fotopage frequently.
Runing a business with 5 fulltimers, with more than 5 photographers and their life, their salaries, their welfare, their happiness, their work passion are part of my biggest role in my Office. However, away for something that can put our name to another level is necessity. This time, I managed to get a wedding of a White couple in their home country (UK). I rate this as an international recognition without medal.
RETIREMENT?
Well, I'll think about this...

Me at Balai Singahsana Indera Buana, Istana Nurul Iman
|
|
I'm getting hotter in Brunei. Due to the chaos by Brunei Top Wedding Photographer that argued about a foreigner's company awarded as an "Official Private Photographer" for the Royal Wedding between Yang Teramat Mulia Paduka Seri Pengiran Anak Puteri Hajjah Majeedah Nuurul Bulqiah binti Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah, D.K.M.B., P.H.B.S dengan Yang Teramat Mulia Pengiran Anak Khairul Khalil bin Pengiran Syed Haji Jaafari
Due to the chaos, we got our website hit increase to 192,511 instead of the average of 100,000 a day. A few inquiries by Bruneian as well as "puluhan" email supporting me. This is good publicity and my forum break another record yesterday with 279 visitors to Sekolah Fotografi CandidSyndrome forum. Good chaos and I like it  (Anyway, i prefer to sit back low profile)

TEAMWORK
|
|
PHOTO ABOVE : Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Maharaja Setia Laila Diraja Sahibul Irshad Pengiran Anak Haji Abdul Rahim (centre) leads the delegation from Darul Karamah (Groom’s Residence) to the Istana Nurul Iman to formally certify the bethortal / engagement of the man to the girl
Another 3 arrived in an Hour
I'm fetching my another 3 photoraphers to assist the CS assignment of Brunei Royal Wedding coverage. As i told everyone here, this is not about the challenge of "how good u are" or "How Pro u are" but it's a matter of "TEAMWORK & ETHIC". No one photographer can cver this event alone and have enough pictures for the album making. We do really have to compete with those photographers from local & international Press. If you're assigned to stay at one "bay" in the hall, nothing much u can do to move around. What happen if u see some good pictures in another end? You'll definately gonna miss it. Unless if we have a good teamwork that anticipate each other. That's why we're here. And one of the factors why we were choosen.
Currently, I' just completed the 4th event in the Royal Wedding Calendar. Tomorrow, the Princess & the Groom will make their FIRST Appearance for this wedding "Istiadat". Tomorrow will be too challenging as well. THe event will take place at the biggest hall in the Istana "Balai Singahsana Indera Buana". Talking about 1 end to another end about football field with the grandstands plus the athletic track.
What we have to do is..."TEAMWORK"

Caught in Action in Brunei - By Rano
Me in front of Darul Karamah, Official Residence for YM Pengiran Khairul Khalil Bin YM Pengiran Syed Haji Jaafari. I can't enter the hall easily, then i need to peek myself through the maindoor to get the best shot. While another photographers from Brunei (Ahim & Pehin Adi) was covering other parts. Look, i was equipped with walkie-talkie headset, hahahah look like a bodyguard in some angles. Well, need to use that for a better coordination in a HUGE events
For those wondering which wedding I'm covering for...well, here's me caught by No.1 Social News Blogger in Brunei - Rano at http://www.ranoadidas.com
That was me when i was covering for the Royal Wedding of Yang Teramat Mulia Paduka Seri Pengiran Anak Puteri Hajjah Majeedah Nuurul Bulqiah binti Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah, D.K.M.B., P.H.B.S dengan Yang Teramat Mulia Pengiran Anak Khairul Khalil bin Pengiran Syed Haji Jaafari at Darul Karamah. To date,We've done the coverage for Istiadat Besuruh at Darul Karamah & Istana Nurul Iman. While this morning we covered for the opening "Musim Kawin" DiRaja with full of "Adat Istiadat" DiRaja.
CONGRATULATIONS TO CANDIDSYNDROME BRUNEI (Registered Trademark in Brunei)
I rate this as the BIGGEST achievment for CS and specifically the biggest achievment by CandidSyndrome Brunei (Good news, We just got approved with the Trademark in BS Begawan). Congratulations to my CandidSyndrome local partner (Ahim Rani). THis is great achievment, well, CandidSyndrome Brunei is just 10 month old. The coverage is done in team. There are no such GREATEST PHOTOGRAPHER can do it alone. The custom is above everyone else here. Proper planning & coordination in team work is the keyword of success in this coverage. As a founder of CandidSyndrome network, I have to confess this...CandidSyndrome Brunei is the most successful venture outside Malaysia and I never regret in this deal. Ahim (My partner) has done his very best to lift-up the status. Without him, I'm sure this coverage will not be "ours". Hereby, I introduce you my team of Photographers in Brunei for this entire assignment. Afterward, we don't have to worry to be contracted in dealing with any event with more than 100,000 guests and billion of newsreaders / viewers. Here they are...
1. Saiful Nang - Principal CS
2. Ahim Rani - Local Partner CS Brunei
3. Adi Putera - Associate CS Brunei
4. Adi Nang - CS Malaysia
3. Shafiq Akmal - CS Malaysia
4. Firza Liyana Datuk Siddiq - CS Malaysia
Too bad, my another 3 great photographers Mukhriz Latif, Udey Ismail & Jay Farhana can't join us here due to thier wedding commitment in Malaysia. No one can overwrite CS client's booking, not even a Bollywood Celebrities.
My team of another 3 photographers will come to Brunei this Monday (After a hectic wedding weekend in Malaysia) with the freight. We'll do a full studio setup in an "undisclosed" location of an apartment (a 2000++ sf penthouse to be exact) 2km from Bandar Seri Begawan.
More photos will be coming-up soon. Since we are the ONLY official Professional Photographer that cover them personally, hence the pictures that we have some of it didnt capture by other camera. We need special release from the royal bride & groom before it can be released. Maybe, for the time being, just check the newspaper or wait for some general photographs around Bandar Seri Begawan. A city now turn to be very colourful due to this Royal Wedding. For those who waited for this disclosure, thanks for waiting. Since Brunei government just announce about this wedding about 4 days ago. So I don't dare to make an early "disclosure" ahead of the Brunei Government.
For those in Brunei that wish to have some TehTarik with me, I'll be here until 15th June. Please SMS my mobile at +60133977715. Maybe we can have the time to hang-out during the gap. Well again, me and my CS Brunei counterpart are really proud for being choosen as the Royal Wedding OFFICIAL photographer team. The biggest wedding in the world for the year 2007. Huhh, i better stop writing and prepare my gear for the Istiadat Menerima Tanda DiRaja that will take place from Darul Karamah to Istana Nurul Iman tomorrow night (The largest Palace in the World). Wish me luck! till then...ENJOICE!
