Frustration @ Work

Sigh, been having this feeling since a couple of months back, being over worked and also not enough hand to juggle with the unlimited amount of work. Most of all, we been keep on reminded to provide a high quality of services at all time, how is that posible with lack of man power and also we are fatique with the endless work?

Even today, when i am supposingly to be on MC as i was not feeling well few days before after returning from an offshore trip at Kertih, i was last minute asked to go to Labuan today for the crew boat to Teknik Berkat. The clock at that time is showing 3pm and the last flight out from KL to Labuan is 6.45pm. Gosh, only about 3 hours to settle all, get ready and good to go? OMG... it is raining some more, come on... give us some slack.

At last, manage to work our way through and stick back to the original plan, which is to travel to Miri on Friday and chopper out on Saturday. The Pro is that all is back on track but the cons is that me and Kumar will need to work extra hard as we have little time before they start their operations. Gosh, is this bad news or what? Anyhow, just need to make things happen and work like how it should be.

I hope things goes fine and once i come back, i think i deserve some rest that tightfully mine since i have been away for 2 consecutive weekends, and most important of all, i am NOT PAID tow work on weekends!!!

Destiny arrives...

From my previous entry, i was still awaiting if i would be required to go offshore assignment and hope that it will come later, after my photo shoot for my friend, Shiau Wan wedding. However, things are most likely turn up as not it is and i was to go for offshore assignment the same day of my previous entry. I manage to finish up the work soon and got back just in time for the wedding day on Sunday, where i reach KL on Saturday night.

After the wedding is over, i am much tired as i have a feeling that photographers (a good one) will be with the bride and groom throughout their wedding, from planning ahead to the actual day, from early morning make up time until late at night when the wedding banquet over and the final photo is taken as a couple on the stage. This means that each one out there get a once in a lifetime for their wedding experience, we photographers get so much more once in a lifetime wedding experience :-)

Now what i am looking forward is more rest from my busy schedule, either personal or work. I most probably will be required to travel offshore sometime soon, and what is pushing me would be the photos that i have yet to complete processing... Hope i can get it done as soon as possible, else i will have angry newly weds come chasing after me :-)

Lastly, congratulations to the newly weds; Yew Leong and Shiau Wan!

Awaiting my destiny

Looking ahead at the operation at my work place, it seems it will be a busy few weeks ahead as all the operation is picking up and required to go offshore again. Sigh, it just have to come at the very wrong timing, as my friend's (Shiau Wan) wedding is just around the corner, in fact this Sunday. I really hope that i can make it for her wedding and help her to shoot for her wedding day along with Sarah and Kuan Ming. Hmm... hope that i can make it, else Sarah will be doing the shooting on my behalf only.

Work lately, what could i say been pretty tiring even i get 8-10 hours of sleep. Perhaps like what they says, after battling for sometime continuous, its not so easy to replace the rest that was not taken earlier, what is done is done and can never be replaced that easily. So now i am suffering from that symptom. In fact, i am not alone as my colleague also going through the same phase as i am. Wonder how long it will be going on until our management thinks it is the right time to take in new people to help out the team. Damm...

Now i am still waiting for the call to go offshore, hoping not so soon, not so fast and not so early. Just want it to come after Shiau Wan's wedding, then i will go unrelentingly...

World of modeling

Was reading the newspaper, regarding one of the high profile issue in the modeling world. Ms. A was having some dispute over the franchise issue with one of the model agency, Ford. Hmm... been about a week on this issue, i was thinking myself, could this be a high attention drama to pull in more viewer for the show upcoming or to generate more investment from public as claimed that the show requires large amount of investment to make it happen. The reason for this show, to help the model of Malaysia to achieve their dreams. I was wondering if that is the main reason for the show or to reap $$$ out of the show. Just my curious thinking...

Current projects

Been quite busy with work lately and also includes my personal photography. I have been pretty busy for the past month with wedding photography; for Winnie, Poh Mui and Zi Wen. So means, i got so much more of photos to edit and preparation for all my hardwork to be part of my profile in photography.

Been able to learn and experience more in photography when i was doing practical on the wedding day itself. Lots have been learned, and now it is time for me to reflect back on the outcome and also to find ways to further improve my skills so that i could move forward.

As mentioned earlier, work load from office is picking up and this month, i might be needed to go offshore again to perform rig up and some maintenance. Quite sad to hear this as i have earlier promised Shiau Wan to take photos for her on her wedding day with Yew Leong. However, since i might not be able to make it, Sarah will take my place to take photos along with Kuan Ming. But deep down, i hope i can go lar, so that i can add one more to my profile and also to attend my friend's wedding :)

Lets see how it goes... just pray for the best!
