The recent quake measuring 8 on Richter scale damaged some historical relics in the Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces. Some of these I have had the chance to visit in the last few years with the recent Terracotta Warriors being in April 2008 itself.
I am glad that I had gotten the first hand glimpses of the relics but am also sad that these ancient relics were damaged. These are the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Dujianyan irrigation system, Er-Wang Temple and relics in the Terracotta Warrior Museum. Indeed after the quake, plenty of restoration work will certainly take place.

It's been really quiet here this month. There were so many photos to be processed and I still have like about 1,000 more to go - from weddings and portraits to landscapes and group meets.
The good news I have in these past few days is I will be having a few paid shoots since my photographer friend (aka mentor) has been booked for the said days. All I need is to take the shots and pass on the photos to him for processing. Of course, I need to mingle around to get the shots. There may also be a second photographer working together with me. As such, the fees are split 3 ways. It's all good for me since it's still a revenue, regardless of amount and closer to achieving one of many dreams. I just hope I can live it up to his standard and getting out of the comfort zones, both in the photographic sense and personal's.
I have always prefer simplicity in life but still living to its fullest (yet balanced). There are so much beauty in simplicity. They are all around us. If we could just slow down from the hustles and bustles of working life chasing the un-reachables, I'm sure we will be marvelled by the beauties of simplicity (at times in chaos).
Check this out! Ain't this a beauty too? LOL........NAH!!!!
Such is the beauty I'm seeing through my glasses. It's a personal journey that will go on as long as I am able. Even through these simple things in life, I have learnt and will continue to learn from them.
Life is all about learning - from work, hobby, people around me, travels and even movies. I've learnt a lot from my recent 2 trips back to Penang which included a trip to Xi'an. Certainly, I would keep these to myself. For sure, there will be more lessons to come.

Wedding Shots in April
After returning from my holiday, I had another opportunity to assist (and learn) from a friend. As usual, the bunch is a real blast.
Here are some shots (a lot more of the reception to process):
