Olympus Malaysia Photowalk: Pudu Wet Market

Olympus Malaysia had organised a photowalk session at Pudu Wet Market, Kuala Lumpur last Sunday which led by Robin Wong and assisted by two of his team mates from Olympus Malaysia.

This is my first time to venture into Pudu Wet Market as my normal hunting ground are Petaling Street, Jalan Masjid India, Jalan TAR and Chow Kit Road. I recommend this place if you are not ready to be scolded or not have gut to shoot with your DSLR through the view finder.

The session start at 8.30AM and I was sent to Pudu Plaza which is our gathering place by my beloved wife Agnes Ngieng. At first I thought of walking from Pasar Seni LRT Station to Pudu Plaza as she told me the night earlier that she will leave me at Kelana Jaya LRT Station. Praise the Lord, she have better plan for me.

When I arrived at the Pudu Plaza, no one was there accept for one man whom I later know as Mr Khoo Beng Kai. We think that we are the early bird but Robin and his group were having breakfast nearby.

Later we joined Robin, Carmen, Ms Lim Pek Yah and one handsome guy (sorry forget your name) at their table.

Tan Tiong Choon: Old face with Passion

Thanks God for this beautiful sunny Saturday morning with a nicely formed clouds and superb blue sky. As plan, we go for our Perkeso Medical check up at BP Healthcare in Taman Sea. This is no connection with my earlier visit to Assunta Hospital as Assunta visits were purely on the matters of the Heart.

Yesterday at Assunta Hospital, I met Mr Thon Lek, one my admired wonderful people whom I long to follow their footstep. Today after completed our test, we went for breakfast at UPtown and an old couple came in and guess who.....

It's another passionate people whom I admired whom I have not meet for years. I knew him as a very talented and passionate manager who can do anything either in marketing or sales. He can even relieve his boss for almost a year without any problem. When you meet him, you can be sure that the fire and passion within still burning strong.

His name is Mr Tan Tiong Choon.

His advice: Keep on exercise and keep a healthy lifestyle.

Sir, I always salute you! May God bless you and your wife with good health and joy of hearts.

 

John Ragai shutdown and rise again

As my earlier promise to you, my dearest friends who were eager to know what actually happen to me which lead to my visit to Assunta Hospital. I will share with you my life experience since last Saturday, Oct 16th 2013.

Actually I was banned from shooting in the street by my beloved wife as sometimes I can be carried away in my street shooting and chasing after the pickpocket in October was not of her liking. Due to her love for me and my passion in street photography, she allowed me to roam the street again on Saturday, November 16th.

On that Saturday, I sensed that I am not well and I took one soluble panadol with a bottle of mineral water as an insurance. But I WANT to go for the street photography whatever it takes.

I have a good times doing shutter therapy at Petaling Street, Jalan Masjid India, Jalan TAR and Chow Kit Road. I covered these areas from 9.45AM to 2.30PM but the rain started to fall when I returned back from Chow Kit. Upon reaching Masjid Jamek LRT Station, I am wet and I love it as I have more subject to shoot in the rain and I love reflections on the road. But the rain took a tool on me.
