What a great evening! Just returned from the wedding reception of Elena & Zaki at Dewan Perdana. A particular incident happen today that really encourage me.

As I step into the holding room to capture some shots of the VVIP, the guest of honour announced "Kid-the best photographer in town!"

At first I was rather embarrased to be accorded such an honour, as there were many other distiguished guest in the room.Among the guest were Tan Sri Ramly Ngah Talib and wife, TNB President and Chief Executive Officer Datuk Che Kalib Mohamed Noh & wife & Tan Sri Aishah Ghani.

What a real honour indeed. The guest of honour was none other that Minister of Finance II YB Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop, whose son Ridzuan’s wedding I have covered earlier this year.

Thank you Tan Sri, I will strive to live up the label!

Best regards,
Kid Chan, WPJA
