Ushering in 2009

December 31, 2008

Natural disasters, recession, war, scandals, political instability – these are what we mostly read about in the news lately. 2009 seem to have gloom all over before it is even here.

As for us, 2009 will be a very special year to us. Alishia & I are tying the knot (yes, the wedding photographers are getting married) in April 2009 (and no, we’re not taking our wedding photos ourselves). Everyone has been asking me who I’ve engaged as our wedding photographer and the answer is Patrick Low of Exes Studio. We’ll be having our ceremony and reception at Saujana Subang by the poolside and we are hoping to keep our guests list to a low figure of 13-14 tables for the reception. We’d rather have a close and intimate wedding. As usual, my fiancee Alishia will be doing our invitations and favors while I sit around and say what’s nice and what’s not. :)

We’ve also bought an apartment here in Tanjung Bungah, Penang and we’re hoping to move in by March or April 2009. We’re thinking of shifting our office there too and we’re currently renovating and furnishing our living room to make it comfortable for our clients and guests who will be visiting us. We’ll keep you guys posted with pictures once we’re almost done with it.

Business wise, Whizarts is growing stronger than ever and we intend to take it to greater heights. Response has never been greater and we are looking forward to photographing so many interesting weddings and couples in 2009.

2008 has been a very blessed year for us here in Whizarts and we hope and pray that 2009 will continue to be the same or better. Almost everyone is going through a hard time lately and 2009 seem to cast a darker shadow. Whenever something good or bad happens, we have to keep reminding ourselves that God is in control and He’s doing something greater for us – something so great that we can’t understand. We should usher in 2009 not with fear or gloom, but with faith and trust in God and know that everything is in good hands; His hands.

So here’s a toast to faith and trust in God and Happy New Year to you from Alishia, and yours truly Ke Wynn.

Another new baby

December 28, 2008

I recently bought myself the new Nikon D700 DSLR. This purchase was part of our investment goal for year 2009.

I can finally retire my trusty old Nikon D50. It has been serving me well since I first started 2 years ago and has produced many photos that I am extremely proud of. On every assignments, my D50 was constantly pushed to its limit and has withstood harsh weathers and conditions. Nikon do make the best cameras!

EARLY BIRD RATES
We’ve revised our rates for year 2009 as mentioned at my previous post. Please be reminded that the new rates will take effect immediately on 16th January 2009, so hurry!!

Mama Mia!!

December 20, 2008

Alishia & I arrived in KL this afternoon and we’re one of the lucky few who managed to purchase tickets to watch Mama Mia the musical this Saturday. There were plenty of hype over it and it tickets were completely sold out a just a few days after its launch. It’s my first time watching a play and I’m so looking forward to it.
