A Getaway from Chilly Melbourne

I was in Bali almost 2 weeks ago for a short 4.5-day getaway from chilly Melbourne as well as involving in a wedding shoot. More on the tour of Bali which I joined my parents before the shoot in later post. It was an amazing experience overall.

Here are some photos from the location shoots of the newly-wed in Ubud, 2 hours drive away from Nusa Dua where our abodes are. [Images are not properly displayed though but click on it to have them opened in separate view - FIXED]

With the hot and humid weather in Bali and returning to chilly Melbourne, I am down with a cold at the moment! :( I can't wait to get to the photos taken in Bali but I still have a wedding I did before the Bali trip. Patience, peeps!

Excitements

It's been some very exciting weeks. The fluctuating and subsequent meltdown of global financial markets have resulted in some sleepless nights, especially those nearing the retirement age. Australian dollar has dropped around 25% from the high of USD0.98 few months ago to USD0.67. Singapore has announced that recession has kicked in. Iceland has been officially the first casualty of the global financial turmoil. Will the world experience another big recession after this Black Friday?

Plenty of decisions have to be made and these decisions will chart our future. It's a risky business to venture and a choppy river to ford across.

On another note, I have been slacking a lot with processing photos as well as posting blogs. With another wedding coming up but this time in Bali, I am excited both for the opportunity to shoot a wedding as well as being my first visit there.

Below are some of the pics from a corporate event and a wedding which I'm still processing.
