Portraitures: CKY

An friend of mine, who is an established accountant, is also a Malaysian writer now. He has published some amazing short stories in this collection called "News From Home" by Silverfish Books (Read more: http://www.silverfishbooks.com/Silverfish/Version4/Writing/WrtitingProgramme.html). Grab that book and read it. I simply love the spellbound and mystery of each story's progress.

Recently, he gave me the opprotunity to take portraits for his upcoming book. Can't wait to read his new stuffs and see my photo on a book! :)

Here are some pix I did for him. By the way, his name is Chua Kok Yee.

Portraitures: Rain

Last week I had the opportunity to work with Weng Yap Photography (www.wengyapphoto.com) on a studio shoot for HerbalLife distributor, Rain. She's a very sweet and pretty girl and her pictures were stunning! Here are a few of our favourites.

Food photography

Food pictures may betray the actual taste of the food shown but in My Elephant Thai Restaurant in Sec 17, PJ, this is not true. The food is as good as it looks (I hope I gave them justice with the pictures I've taken here). Sadly, I can't recall the names of the food we had but here's a little description of them:

Fruit taufu in curry. Yums!

Omelette..another yums!

The spicy tom yam soup which had a good mix of herbs.

Green curry chicken. Very thick with coconut milk & curry; and absolutley scrumptious.

Paku or kangkung belacan. Yummy as well! Spicy enough and the vege was young and fresh.

Brown rice. Very tasty rice!

Do visit the restaurant when you have the opportunity and bookings are a must!

Milk, Glorious Milk!

Milk is nutritious!

It is the first thing a newborn is fed with and also the best thing to feed our bones with to prevent osteoperosis and now we even have milk that can lower cholestrol e.g. Nesvita Omega milk has been proven to lower 36% of cholestrol after a month of daily consumption.

Milk these days comes in all sorts of flavours and even soya bean drinks now comes in the form of soy milk.

As chocolate flavour is my all time favourite flavour for anything, chocolate milk is the best! It's rich, its yummy & it's healthy! What other healthy food can taste this good?!

Last year, World Milk Day became a known event in Malaysia because Dutch Lady did a promo on it and now Tetra Pak is having a promo on World Osteoporosis Day. Cool eh? What other day would we have in the future?

LiteFM Dial & Dine @ Prego, The Westin KL (9 May 2009)

Fine dining at a 5-star hotel in the Golden Triangle sure is a big treat for me. My colleague asked me to take some pix of the LiteFM Dial & Dine event and the perk was I get to eat for free with my guest, Wendy. :)

The place was classy and classic. The hotel car park was rather unexpectedly dodgy. The food was fantastic. Its a really suitable place for celebrations, romantic candle light dinner (there were no candles that day) or any other daily dinner for the rich and famous.

These are some pictures of the day.

My guest.

The starter bread which came with a chili dip and an olive oil vinegar dip. Simply yummy!

A winner's adorable daughter. She was really obedient - she didnt make a sound.

The little girl's father when he talked to the LiteFM breakfast DJ, Sara Lo.

The appetiser soup, Zuppa di Funghi (Cream of field mushroom). Sluuurrrp!

The main course, Steam sea bass. Baby potato. Fennel salad & Salsa verde. Another scrumptious delight!

The open kitchen concept that Prego is known for. This is the view from upstairs. See, they're preparing dessert.

A sweet end to the 4 course meal - Hazelnut ice-cream bar. Rich and chocolatey!

Non in action.

Chin Yee willingly posed for my reflection shot. :) She's so photogenic!

A secret room we found behind some curtains. It's such a glamourous place. Probably reserved for the rich and famous as it was decorated with wine bottles and there was a huge mirror wall.

Baby Kelly (Mac 2009)

Allan's sister-in-law just delivered a healthy baby girl named Kelly last March 2009 and we took some pictures of her when she was only 1 month old. The baby is photogenic and adorable in every angle.

Allan sure can take beautiful baby pictures... :) Here are some of our favourites:
