Sports Unlimited

Efficient E-Solutions had a Sports day a day after Labour Day, 2 May 09. Must be a company policy to never rest I suppose as it was a 3-day weekend break. The employees were, however, very enthusiastic about the event and they came all gung-ho-ed. There were 4 types of sports running at the same time - Badminton, Futsal (ladies & men), Netball and Bowling while Tracks was right before the Closing recemony. It was held in a conspicuous stadium in Shah Alam, Panasonic Stadium from 7am till 8pm on a Sunday.

I'd say that there were enough volunteers to run the whole show as many were in the committee t-shirts but as a photographer, there wasn't enough photographers as they only hired me alone. Kinda impossible to capture all the events running simultaneously. Can't really split myself into 4 right?

Anyway, these are my favourite shots for the event. Praise God for Yew Leong who came to fill in my void for the tracks and closing ceremony sessions in the evening.

25 July 09 update: Unfortunately, this company is a lousy pay master and the bosses kinda lack integrity as I've not been paid in full yet after 3 months. Additionally, they have requested a discount as they were not happy that I didn't manage to cover all their sports activities. Any photographer would know it's impossible to be at every event when it is running simultaneously at different locations, right? Anyway, just a word of caution if you happen to have to deal with them.

3 Oct 09 update: I finally got paid the balance with a 20% on 18 September 09. That's how bad a pay master and definitely a cheater employer Efficient E-Solutions is. Beware if you're gonna take a job with them.

This was the pre-sports day bowling session:







The registration morning - it was 730am and there was already a huge crowd of employees:

The company even have their own flag:

The futsal players had their own team supporters all around the stadium:

The netball all-girls teams were really good at the match and the referee was super strict! She kept blowing her whistle to stop the match even for the slightest movement mistake.

Ready, set, GO!

The closing ceremony had a marching band and loads of happy participants & supporters & hopefully bosses:

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.

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?
