Thank you. Thank you for all your well wishes and your positive energy and good vibes you’ve sent to Bam-Bam. Amazingly, she has recovered completely since last Saturday and she has been well and back to her normal self so far. And as I continue to pray for her health and well being, I’d also like to pray for a dear friend of mine who’s dad’s health has been deteriorating. My thoughts and well wishes goes out to Yang and his family through these tough times which I’m positive they will pull through! And also, prayers to Fiona’s (Teff) grandma who was recently admitted to the hospital…
On the lighter side of things, we celebrated Bruce and Yang’s birthday at Pangkor Laut Resort last weekend and as all my Pangkor trips, they are always too short but simply amazing and each experience there is just special, all thanks to Jeff who we can’t thank him enough for!!! I’m nicely tanned and lovin’ it! … Although I think one more afternoon by the beach will just perfect my tan! Just can’t wait for the next beach holiday!
The Heineken Green Room State of Mind is a series of art projects that started last year and this time round, focused on photography. I was stoked to be one of the three photographers, Kelvin Oon, better known to many as DJ ChaseyLain of Twilight Actiongirl (TAG) and Choen, renowned Malaysian commercial photographer, to be involved in the last Heineken Green Room project. A preview party was held a couple weeks back at Daikanyama and our photos were exhibited during the party last Saturday at KL Life, Heineken’s biggest Green room event ever! Our works were based on our personal musical inspirations, translated through our photography. When I was approached by Natasha, I knew right there and then, what I wanted to do! Light painting of course! It’s one of my favorite photography techniques and in this case, was so closely linked to my two top favorite music genres; progressive and deep house! It brought me back to my old school party/raver days when I played with LED lights and glow sticks and it was so easy to connect the dots!
Heineken = drinking = partying = house music = raves = lights & glow sticks!
The series of photographs I created were based on my all-time favorite deep & progressive house tracks. Using a variety of light sources, I played my favorite tracks and light-painted! The strokes, flow and motions were based on the emotions the rhythm exuded in me. Special thanks to Steve & Ming who were there to help me with the additional back lighting!
