the leap year superdog

Remember how i mentioned sparky (Yi's doggie) is a leap year superdog?

We had quite a blast celebrating her birthday @ Happy Daze and she naturally, ate up all the food and totally ignored QQ. hahaha.

So much fun.... =)

What pushes me on...

Recently, I shot my own farewell lunch from the hospital.

Such an interesting experience.. it was quite overwhelming, when i finally decided to leave this job as an occupational therapist to pursue my passion and calling in photography wholeheartedly.

It was even more interesting that the night before my farewell lunch, i had a cosy welcome dinner from johnlimphotography. hahaha... what an irony. a welcome here, a farewell there... but that really did made my day.

of course, this marks a new beginning in my life, a new chapter... a time to move on.. =)

Somedays, when i look around the hospital, i feel sad about leaving but this is what keeps me going.... sharing a recent compliment from a customer and dear friend, Yvonne K:

"Dear Regina, we have decided to engage your services as our actual day photographer! :) we are excited! and happy, knowing that our photographs would turn out lovely and beautiful in your hands...."

yes, i would still be making a difference, in another way, by creating beautiful memories. =)

i hope in my humble ways, to continue to be a joy in others' life... and sharing their very special day makes me feel so honoured...

Thank you, to all my friends, my customers...

I will always do my best, for you.

Moving on...

I am glad I have a job I love... celebrating love and intimacy.

In a short while, I will be probably leaving my other job in healthcare to pursue my photography career.

I feel that in life, it it always about choices, if I want to excel in my photography, I have to make a choice and move on.

Which I had, and i am glad for that.

I hope that life in the family will return to a normal rountine once i am settled with only my photography career and not having to juggle both my healthcare work and this.

Of course, to a certain extent, I will miss the smell of the hospital, the sound of call bells, nice patients, the satisfaction of sending a patient home with adequate care plan.

Those will remain in my memory for a long long time.

Perhaps married to the computer and photoshop

Seriously, I am spending more time in front of the computer and photoshop than 1) walking QQ 2) playing with QQ 3) talking to dyl 4) looking at dyl.

So to strike a balance, i am going to have a good few hours off this weekend to spend time with dyl, while the car gets sent to the workshop for maintainence.

O and very importantly, tomorrow is Sparky's birthday! (Shiyi's dog) and I will be going out on a birthday trip with sparky and Yi on sat, hopefully to shoot nice potraits of sparky! =) interestingly, this is sparky's 1st birthday in 4 years. the leap year dog.

Today, my days with my old blog ended and here I am, a fresh start to this mousey year with this new blog to celebrate my life, my family and to share my works - my love for photography. =)

I will changing a whole new perspective to this site with a new blogskin soon.

Anyway to start off this new beginning, i would like to share a photo which i really liked...

A good sign, that last year ended with a really great wedding =)

Shifting my personal blog over here?

I am seriously considering to shift my personal blog over here and let it fuse with my photography blog. well, i am too caught up recently to maintain two blogs. and i love the blogspot features.

will be back soon.

A new start to photography by Regina Lim

Hi,

I am excited and happy to announce that I will be shifting home to www.johnlimphotography.com soon.

It's been a short but fruitful journey over here at reginalimphotography and I am happily bringing my portfolio and joining John Lim Photography.

John is a great photographer (in fact, he was my wedding photographer!) and it's such an honour to be working with him.

It's going to be a great experience... I am sure. =)

Love,
Regina
