A day for proud parents

When Stephanie graduated in this year, we could not attend her graduation ceremony. However, as parents, we always wanted to share this proud moment with the child. The good thing was that the whole event was broadcast live over the internet and we could view it on our computer screen. We were very excited.
Last week, I was at the graduation ceremony of Fajar International College covering the event by recording it on digital images.

My colleague, Bangga. His son graduated!

My ex-colleague, Julian

Jerald. If there was a prize for the most colourful family, this family would have won! See! Three generations were there. Not many beat them.

My ex-colleague Lily's son graduated. Oop... I forgot to ask her. I think Ameer is her grandson!

Timothy Nawan, whose parents are my colleague.

Congratulations to all!

I have finished uploading all the photos on my facebook. Click here to view.

For the whole week, photos were printed and frame were being made. They should all be ready by evening but it will take me a little time to sort them. If the college is open on Saturday, please be there to collect the photos from 9:00AM to 11:00AM. Otherwise, it will be on Monday. Plesae SMS me or call me on 012-8782007.

Fajar International College Graduation

All the formal photos can now be viewed from my facebook. Click here. More will be posted later.


Last week, I was commissioned to take the photos of the graduating students of Fajar International College in Miri. This year, they have more than 100 students graduating. Congratulations to all the students. Below are just three of the photos. I will post the rest to my face book after I have printed them.

I ordered a set of Elinchrom studio flash. In fact I have the option to go for those made in China which cost just a fraction. But at the end, I was chicken out as reliability and quality are my top priority.

I also ordered a set of background made by Lastolite. The major benefits are the solid colour and studio quality.

Group photo of all the students.

Only part of the photos have been printed. I think I need another 3 days to complete the job. So, it looks like the final product will only be out this Friday. The main obstacle now is the frame maker who won't be able to complete the job within a few days. My apologies for that.

PBC Triathlon 2010

The annual PBC Triathlon 2010 kicked off at 6:40AM after a slight delay.

We saw a record number of participants this year... nearly 150 of them

Some of the young swimmers ...

... and the most senior of all. I think Ray was here for the last two years.

The sea was not kind to them...

... as expected, he emerged from the water first. I believe it took 10 minutes longer than last year.

Next, the professional from Czech Republic. Someone told me that she is world number 24.

The rough sea faced them when they got in and again when they were getting out of the water!

... next the cycling.

... and the storm arrived. The wind was strong and the rain was heavy as most of the participants were in the last part, ie, the run.

... As expected, she came in first.

As most of our participants were in team, she did it all on her own!

Sport Photography

Tomorrow, Saturday 6-Nov, the annual triathlon will take place at the usual Piasau Boat Club. If you like to try out sport photography, be there by 6AM.
