At Week 20

I'm gonna have a daughter!

The 8th Harry Potter Book...

is gonna be called:

"Harry Potter and the Repeal of Section 377A"

It will narrate how Harry Potter got to uncover Prof Dumbledore's devious scheme to overthrow the Order, repeal Section 377A and reform the sexual orientation of all wizards in Hogwarts. A Petition was wriiten, presented but eventually twarted by Harry Potter and overuled by the Ministry of Magic.

In case you haven't heard, J.K Rowling had divulged recently that Prof Dumbledore is gay... *gasp*

They dun write "Children" storybooks like they used to anymore...

Tan Sri (Dr) Lim Goh Tong

I was up on Genting for a week covering the wake of a legendary personality in Malaysia. Tan Sri (Dr) Lim Goh Tong was the Founder and former Chairman of Genting. He passed away on 23 Oct 07 at an old age of 90, leaving behind an inspiration to many that nothing is impossible if you stick to your visions. Many renowned figures including the Malaysia Prime Minister and over 20,000 people from the general public paid their last respect over the 6 days.

Fire! Fire!

Kudos to the fire-fighters who fought against the fire at the Ang Mo Kio Ave 4 Market/Food Centre! This was one of the few opportunities where SCDF allowed us to capture them in action for such a big case (although the fire has already been extinguished...haha)! The fire started at around 9.30 on Tues night and raged for more than an hour before SCDF brought it under control. The fire was so intense that the roof collapsed and the entire market of 232 stalls were affected. Luckily no civilian was reportedly hurt. It was the biggest fire I had covered thus far.

On photojournalism

Quotes from some photojournalists to remind and motivate myself of the work that I do.

"Photojournalists have the incredible role of bringing to life stories through the photographs that they take. In most cases, these photographs will be the only visual representation of the story that the public will ever see. Because of this huge and awesome responsibility, I always interpret the situation truthfully to the best of my ability." - Judy Lyon

"Images at their passionate and truthful best are as powerful as words can ever be. If they alone cannot bring change, they can at least provide an understanding mirror of man's actions, thereby sharpening human awareness and awakening conscience." - Cornell Capa

I realise it is important to adopt a correct and positive mindset towards this occupation. Otherwise, you will get desensitized too quickly and lose the drive to deliver quality photos consistently.

Work and Passion

"When you work for money, you tire easily. When you work for your ideals, you can bear the cold. When you work out of interest, you will never tire."
