Knotted

leave a comment »

So many friends and family tying the knot this month. If I were to go to all the weddings I’m invited to, I’d have four or five free buffet lunches every weekend for the whole month.

Just this last week, I went to three out of four friends’ weddings, the one I missed was because the reception was too far away and going there meant that I’d have to miss the other three. Sorry Ayu, I know you had a wonderful time anyways!

Speaking of tying the knot, here I’d like to share with you a (not so) recent photo I took of a knot.

Care to guess what that is?

An electrical cord?

A wire cable?

A fishing line?

Actually, it’s a strand of hair.

A strand of hair, knotted in the middle.

No it’s not my hair, because it’s quite long in its entirety. I found it on a white tiled floor, so I used an off-camera flash and reversed my lens to get a closeup shot of the knot on the hair.

It was my first time getting a closeup shot of a strand of hair, so getting it in focus manually wasn’t that easy. I had to make sure no wind was blowing so that the hair wouldn’t move, so I had to turn the fan off. The room was small and cramped and the windows face east so it was hot without the fan blowing. I only took a few shots until I was satisfied with the results, and then turned the fan on, causing the strand of hair to be blown away and disappear.

On another note, it feels great to be back to blogging again; I haven’t been blogging for a week and felt so at unease that I had to resume my regular postings today, even though I still have much to do work-wise.

Are you glad that I’m back blogging? I hope you do. Because I’m looking forward to hearing from you all again!

Wedding Road Trip (Updated with some photos)

leave a comment »

This is a quick and short pictureless update.  

Right now I am still feeling tired from yesterday’s wedding road trip. 

For one whole day I drove alone to three different weddings in three different districts.  

In the morning, Norbaya and Sharifuddin’s solemnization in Segamat, Johor.  



Noon, Zulfadhly and Lily’s reception in Sungai Mati, Muar.  


Evening, Lailatul Nadia’s reception in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. 


I had to cancel going to Faizal Tahir and Siti Munirah’s reception in Batu Pahat, because it was too far away and I would’ve taken two hours to get there, and another two to get to the next wedding venue.  


Also had to forgo the intention of going to Sarah and Shamin’s reception in Bangi because I was too tired.  


Anyways.  


My well wishes and congratulations to all my friends who recently tied the knot. May your lives be blessed by Allah always.

Wedding Shots: Salah and Izah

with 2 comments

Salah is a very good friend of mine whom I got to know since prep school. We both went to Michigan for our undergraduate degrees, but him being much smarter than I am, he managed to get his Master’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering from Michigan as well (while I’m still struggling to start writing up my master’s thesis).

His marriage to the love of his life, Izah, was something that I had been waiting for a while to come. And now that it has happened, I couldn’t get more excited to come to their reception held in Kuala Lumpur. I ended up being one of the first guests to arrive and the last to leave.

Here are some photos of the reception that I managed to snap in between chats and banters with friends and colleagues who also came to the reception.


Salah and Izah making their entrance.


The groom and his bride on the pelamin (wedding throne).


The handsome groom and the beautiful bride


Some photo moments usually requested by guests and photographers alike

And lastly… a rare photo of myself with the happy couple (my friend Bobby at my right)

Congratulations, Salah and Izah. I wish the both of you a wonderful life blessed with love, happiness and health for you and the family you two are going to build together.
