That’s right folks! As part of our World Tour for next year we will be heading to Brunei in January 2010! We will be covering an awesome wedding and hopefully have time to do some sightseeing. We’ve never been to Brunei before so we won’t mind having a tour guide if anyone is willing.

It is indeed exciting times ahead and we can’t believe all the opportunities that have been presented to us thus far. It is beyond ouor wildest dreams and we would like to thank our lovely clients and those that have been faithful followers of our blog.

If you would like to meet up to discuss about your up and coming wedding plans or just to meet over a cup of coffee, do drop us an email. Do contact us regarding other World Tour dates as well. Limited spaces available.

Brunei Darussalam is situated in the south-eastern region of Asia, on the Island of Borneo, between longitudes 114′04″ and 114′23″ East and latitudes 4′00″ and 5′05″ North. Brunei, although occupying less than 1% of Borneo’s land area, is the only sovereign country on the island, which it shares with the Indonesian provinces of West, East, South and Central Kalimantan and the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak.

Thanks to my friends from Wedding Story, my wife and I were invited to an all-expense paid retreat in Langkawi together with the Wedding Story team. Haha, well, it was not entirely “all-expense” but I it sounded nice when I typed it .  That said, Wedding Story chipped in on the accommodation for us and that was truly awesome! It is my first time to Langkawi, so thanks guys for being such a great sport and for inviting me and making it a reality. Now I can say, “Hey, I’ve been to Langkawi you know!”.

I can’t say enough but the people at Wedding Story and Integricity are a bunch of awesome people. They are professional, friendly, fun and most importantly, they are fantabulously crazy and fun, just like me! I always believe in teamwork, and as a professional photographer, I can’t work alone and it helps to have close friends in the industry that can support you and be a constant encouragement to you. It pays to have strong relationships with the people you work with and I got to say, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves there.

From the moment we landed, we basically had a fun time hanging out around the hotel, went shopping, played some water sports, took “professional” photos for each other for FREE (yes, it pays to have photographer friends!), went for a full body massage together. It was a time of relaxation and at the same time, we got to catch up with everyone. Since I’m based in Singapore, I hardly have time to meet up with anyone whenever I am in Malaysia.

If you have colleagues, partners or just buddies that are like-minded, do spend time together, I highly recommend that you either go on a road trip or a short vacation together.

Oh, one very important thing that happened in Langkawi that I have to share… I got a brand new spanking camera! Thanks to Joseph Siew and Grace for helping me out. I was so excited, because I finally got my hands on a compact camera, the Canon G10. Well, it’s not soooo compact but hey, it’s a great camera that produces great images!

All the shots taken in this post were from my new compact camera, the Canon G10. I’ll blog more about it later.

Lastly, enjoy the clip below by Kee Sitt from Wedding Story. He did a great job compiling our activities in it. Best of all, he did not use a professional video camera, but a consumer camera, the Panasonic TZ7. After watching the video, I feel like giving up my Canon G10 and go out and buy myself one of them Panasonics.

Disclaimer: OK, after being “ratted out” by Mark Leo, I have to say that the Canon G10 is not mine! It belongs to my wife. Yes, my wife had a long discussion about it, as she wanted something small that could fit into her bag. But I reasoned with her that the Canon G10 is a GREAT camera! Yada yada… anyways, long story short, after much persuasion (and pestering) from me, she caved, and gave in to my request. Hehe… so, the Canon G10 belongs to my wife since she paid for it… (which will be in my ThinkTank Airport AirStream bag most of the time.. hehehehe).

eeyern photography is going international! If you are getting married or just love to have your photograph taken, just drop us an email for enquiries and booking.

We’ll be adding more places to the World Tour for 2010 but if you have other suggestions or places that you would love to visit, do let us know.

A few weeks ago, Chen Lei, Andy Chin and I were in Ipoh for a wedding shoot. I decided to record a little video about our travel. It’s my first time recording a video using my Canon 5D Mark II and my first time editing it. Kee Sitt, if you are reading this, please pardon my lack of knowledge when it comes to edits. So click on the link below and embark on a little journey with us to Ipoh. It’s not “Discovery’s Travel and Living” and please don’t comment on the lack of talent from the host of this little travel log, he was really nervous.

I know, I suck as a TV host, but bet your mouth is salivating from the Chicken & Bean Sprout!

Till next time, coz it’s 5.30am and I need to go shoot a wedding now!
