3. Manage to shoot for one of my favourite music band has somehow came true this year. Sodagreen - the group that is unique with each and every member in it. Shooting concert is as challenging as shooting wedding, just that you will have your performance guest remain around the stage area. I know it is hard to make a fortune shooting for concert but I still hope that in year 2015 I can shoot more concert when the condition is right. I shall work with people who love photo arts and appreciate what we photographer do for living. Read more here.
4. Being able to be small part of the blockbuster movie "The Journey 一路有你" is one happy thing that happen this year. I am happy that this movie has created new record for Malaysia movie industry and hope my little movie review and reporting helps in some way. This was captured when we went to Redbox SingK celebrate together haha Read more here
5. This year I got myself a diving licence at Mabul Island. It won't be possible without friends who wanna get the licence together.
