On Sunday afternoon, I actually headed to the park and did approximately 4km jog on the upper loop. Had the knee guard on but I think I overcompensated with my left leg as there was slight pain on my hip area even after I finished running. Went to see the sensei and he recommended a break from working out for a couple of days.

This morning, I decided to go for a workout at Pushmore after a weeklong hiatus. Work’s been pretty hectic as I’ve been catching up with editing that I missed out on doing when I was away in KK. It was nice to take some time off work and go for a workout but maaaan, it’s gonna take me awhile to gain back the lost mass and strength. Didn’t do today’s WOD as my knee’s still a bit wonky.

For time 5 – 10 -15 – 20 – 15 – 10 – 5 reps of
Pull Ups
Handstand Push Ups
Ring Dips
Result: 33:43 (RD’s done with red band)
Yes, I took a looooong time finishing this workout. It annoys the $3it out of me that the body takes such a long time to regain strength when you can easily lose it just by not working out consistently. Alas, thats’ how it works. So, today will mark the start of it all again. Yes, I’m overdramatic I know :p

Nadia’s portrait session was absolutely last minute. She had seen her sister Devy’s portraits with Herman from a couple of days ago and decided she wanted to get hers done as well. It was only when I was having dinner with my sister and Devy that I found out the session was confirmed. As I had only 2 days left in KK, that night was the only time I had left to squeeze in a session for Nadia and initially I was a bit hesitant to say yes as it was already night. Then I thought, oh what the heck, since I’ve never done a night shoot before, this can be the first.

So after dinner, we picked Nadia up and headed to town for a fun filled, laughter infused portrait session :) But of course, you won’t be seeing any laughing shots in this set, since it was a night shoot, we decided to go for something a tad bit more demure, dark (both literally and figuratively :p) and a bit more ‘posey’. Err…is that even a word?

Nadia, I’m glad you enjoyed the session. It was fun shooting you cos you are just up for anything, so that is waaaay cool! Thanks for working it out even with onlookers all around town. You rock! And thanks to my sister Aishah, whom I shall now refer to as ‘The Light Source’ for helping me out with my lighting. Yay for free labor! ;)

When Peter and Aneeta met up with me and said that they wanted me to shoot their wedding, I was ecstatic! Then I found out I was already booked for another wedding :( After finding out that I was actually going to be in Kota Kinabalu at the same time as their honeymoon there, Peter and Aneeta decided to have a post wedding shoot instead.

That got me really excited as after meeting up with them, I was already thinking to myself how great it would be to shoot this lovely couple :) And this would be the first time I would be shooting a couple’s post wedding session. Imagine that, a portrait session just two days after their wedding! What an honour!

So it was on the second day of their honeymoon that we met up and went around KK town and the beach (definitely!) for their portrait session. Here are some of my favourite shots from the day :) Enjoy!

Meet Peter and Aneeta, I think they both look deliciously here. Nom nom.

Yes, its evident Peter finds his new bride yummy too. Absolutely.



It’s nose rub time!


That’s Aneeta’s wedding dress. Love the laced sleeves & details!

These two are ridiculously cute together. I like!

The next two diptychs are similar in style, but I couldn’t decide so I posted up both of them ;)

Peter and Aneeta, thank you for spending the afternoon with me :) You two were an absolute joy to shoot and the love that you have for each other is evident in the pictures taken that day. Despite the slight haze which blocked out what could’ve been a lovely sunset, you two rocked the session – big time! I wish you two many years of happiness and mutual love for each other. Hope you had a memorable honeymoon in Kota Kinabalu!

Speak no evil, see no evil and hear no evil ;p Thanks to one of Magellan Sutera Resort’s concierge for the shot!
