all knocked out

It hasn't been the best day today as I went for a long-delayed endoscopy of the digestive system... (sounds kinda gross huh?) - it was honestly, horrible. in the sense that I was all knocked out from sedation, so good that it didn't hurt or anything, but when I woke up - till now, I have been alternating between throwing up and feeling dizzy and drowsy, basically, an absolutely horrible feeling.

I can't wait for the drug to leave my body so I can feel normal again. I am so sick of sitting in front of the toilet bowl.

argh.

Our new blog on johnlimphotography

John's in Italy now, while I am here, keeping the studio going. When will i be in Italy too?? I will surely love the food... pasta is my favourite!!!

QQ the dog is really naughty recently, I will post some pics of the new her soon, getting way too fat for her own good (like her owner, me)

=)

New actual day portofolio!

I have a new Actual day portfolio up on the studio's website - click here

I really love the new pictures on display and it was a great and fun wedding to shoot. =)

Life is so busy now but able to take a quick breather as the mad rush to finish up works before john depart for Italy is over! no more 2 am nights for 3 weeks... hahaha. yeah. my husband finally has someone to hug to sleep. =p

will be back!

God is good!

I brought the 85mm f1.4 nikon lens to a wedding job on saturday and had a blast shooting with it. it was really cool!

Will post some pictures of it soon. =)

Anyway, I am tying up loose ends at the hospital and slowly packing my stuff... to leave! o yeah!

God is good.

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.
