Singapore Sojourn

Friday, April 7th, 2006

Dear All,

Had a great trip in Singapore. As usual a trip to Cathay burn a hole in the pocket (shhh….dont let Shirlyn know), and thank goodness wife-y has the wisdom asking me not to bring my credit cards.

I also had an interesting incident. While taking a cab to in Singapore heading back to Ritz-Carlton , the cabby -Mr. Joe , asked if i was a photographer? Thinking that my Cathay bags was a dead giveaway, I replied YES. Then he asked if I was a Malaysian, of course I said yes and a very PROUD one at that!

Then to my amazement, he asked "Are you Mr. Kid Chan?" whhhhaatt?????? It seems that, Joe has been following my works since my Pesona Pengatin column days. What an Ego-booster …hahhahaha But still no discount for my Taxi fare:(

A special thanks to wife-y’s best buddy Ms. Jodie for bring me to Tony Rama’s for their excellent ribs {Non-Halal) , My college buddy Shung who has a good intention of bringing me to Equinox but was not open and Yann Yann who later met up with us in Boat Quay.

I met Yann few years ago when she was a talent in the Brand Power commercial and I was the intern at Studio88. Yann, born in Malaysia was handpicked by Singapore’s legendary theater directer Kuo Pao Kun to form his pioneer batch of his fledging Theater Training and Research programme. Yann was also part of the Separation 40 cast who are nominated for BEST GROUP PERFORMANCE (theatre)in the 4th Annual BOH Cameronian Arts Awards 2005.

I also take this opportunity to wish Yann all the best with her theater opening tonight and her upcoming movie - Singapore Dreaming’s Gala premier. Ok. Got to sleep early tonight. Tomorrow a big shoot for my secondary schoolmate Ikhwan and his lovely Bride Amli at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).

See ya!

Btw, stay tune bcost i am going to let you in on my RIDE this weekend tomorrow! Cheers!

My class at Life College!

Sunday, April 2nd, 2006

I have just started my lecture at Life College last week. I know it is hard to belief for those who know me especially from school days. YUP! I am surprised myself. Finishing school was an achievement, getting through uni was definitely another but teaching in a college??? Hmmphh…that really a FAR one.

So how did it come about? Well I got a call from Mr. Goh Kek Seng, a former collegue from my Metropolitan College days and the Director of Studies of Life College. Mr Goh ask if I would take up a part-time lecturer post for 2nd/3rd Year Diploma student in Introductory to Photography. After due consideration, as I was quite afraid that my schedule might clash I agreed. Well the pays is not fantastic, but I feel like as if I am giving back to the society who has given me so much. So now you will find me in Life College diligently every Tuesday 2.30-5.30pm.

But since i started my new post, I always wonder what my teacher’s in Sri Cempaka will think when i tell them this? I can really imagine a few drop jaws. At least 10 inch wide some more hahahah! I guess I just have to wait and see:)

To my students r handwho is reading this, REMEMBER to SWITCH OFF you mobile phone. I get very irritated when it RINGS during the lecture, and it will reflect in your marks. Otherwise, have a good day!

Cheers!
