What I want in this year of the ox

i am in a stage of my life where i want to truly enjoy life.

i want to seek a meaning deeper to my current life, busy with work, busy with the camera, busy replying emails, busy meeting people. I will continue on those, maybe cutting them down, but the eventual aim is to make sure me and my family life is complete with more love and grace.

i am still learning. how to love everyone around me.. how to feel that this life is filled to the utmost potential, not in terms of $$ or how many weddings I am going to cover this year.

some people are destined to be great people, owning companies, etc etc, some people are destined to be another kind of great people, always happy, because they are truly happy and rich with love and friendship.

because of that, I am happy to continue working with John Lim Photography, I will continue selling my works there and also under my new label coming up soon (website going live nowie)

and I am also happy to explore creating a little Lim to this family (with huge request from my parents and family - almost a plead really! hahaha!)

we are happy to embrace whatever God decides to send along our way.

till then, i am going to get ready for a great bbq with my husband, mom, daddy and sis now. :)

Thank you for reading all my thoughts!

Amazing feeling

I have got this amazing feeling just now, realising that because of the CNY, I have finished all the work for couples, albums, etc before 23rd jan and now, I am feeling free!!!

woohoo!!!!

The next wedding starts in the midst of CNY, next sat in fact, but i am happy for 6 days of rest!

Yuppies!

What I want in life

I am looking very much forward to this year as I ditched my old life, being in the studio doing albums and more albums all the time and looking forward to being more in the action and experiencing life.

I continue to enjoy shooting weddings, it's the greatest photography love I have chosen and will continue of course but i will explore many other things, travelling a bit while shooting weddings, attending workshop, getting fresh inspiration and experimenting, ultimately, to create more beautiful photos.

Thank you very much, all my friends , my couples, my families, for making this career possible :)

Images upcoming :)

I will also be doing a recap of yr 2008, a wonderful year with John Lim Photography soon (before CNY)

Watch this space ok? :)

Overseas 2009

Just a bit of exciting news:

I will probably be travelling quite a bit in 2009, for leisure, friendship and work (yes!)

I am invited to cover weddings in some of the most lovely countries in the world. :)

2009 , look forward to photos from Japan, Korea, USA, Australia. More details to come when my studio is launched. :)

Cheers!

Here comes the split

If you have been following this blog long enough, you would know that upon the arrival of CNY, I will no longer be directly under John Lim Photography.

Yes, I am on my own (in some sense) and yes, every artist deserve their own unique space, so I am creating my own :)

The trick is that I have not worked out the details of the split (very much remind me of a divorce, hahaha, work out division of finance, custody...) and so I am currently having a headache on how to work things out from this point onwards.

It's just amazing how every great journey comes to an end somehow and everyone has their own unique path to move on. sometimes these paths does not coincide and therefore, must part ways. sometimes, it is just great to have breathing space and to each their own. When one journey ends, it just mean the beginning of another greater exploration :) and I still look forward to working together, afterall, it is twice the fun.

but it was a great one year and I thank, from the bottom of my heart, a great mentor who had given me a great headstart in this career -John.

I will definitely be completing my jobs taken under JLP and doing to my best too! :)
