Photowalk: Chow Kit Wet Market

Last Saturday, I made my first lone Photowalk for the year 2014. Initially I plan to walk with my fellow street shooter, Ivan Tan but he could not make it as he works on Saturday.

As I used to be a Lone Street Shooter, I continued with my plan. My walk will start from the Pasar Seni LRT Station and the route will cover Petaling Street, Pasar Karat, Jalan Masjid India, Jalan TAR, Chow Kit and the Chow Kit Wet Market. I will be back to Pasar Seni LRT Station via the same route.

Choice of gear:
I carried both Nikon D7000 + 50mm f1.8G and Olympus OMD E-M5 + 12-50mm f3.5-6.3

I start of with Nikon D7000 + 50mm f1.8G as my main theme is Street Portrait beside the low lighting in the Wet Market required the wide aperture.

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.
