Many things happened in the last 2 months. I felt sad for most of the time, and I couldn't help but cry. I cried when I thought about a friend in hospital, and I cried when I attended her funeral. And tears just flow down as I am writing this blog.. oh god- when have I become such an emotional freak! My dear friend was one who had lived life to the fullest - she had explored half the globe before the age of 31, and had many wonderful tales to share while she was on adventures. She was intelligent, inquisitive and a beauty. Cancer took her life in the morning of 7 September 2009. In the 1 month which she battled with cancer, her fighting spirit was amazing. Although she did not speak much when we visited her in hospital, the look in her eyes told us that she was determined to get well soon. We grew up together. We went to the same primary school, secondary school, junior college... As we grow older and each busy with our work and life, there are birthday celebrations, the annual yea

Yahoo is closing down the Geocities web service soon and had advised to shift my website elsewhere. The geocities web service was one which i signed up during my uni days, where i offer my photography service on a freelance basis. It is sad that they are closing the service... Anyway, below is an extract which I wrote when I was younger... and i am affirming this belief now... Wow! It is almost 10 years already... 'Wai Peng's love for photography is built on 5 elements: love, passion, sincerity, goodness and beauty of life. Paradoxically, some inexperienced souls think of photography as unimportant. They misunderstand the very nature of the art. If you are sitting across the table from your mother, talking over a cup of coffee, it is easy to overlook the benefit a photo of her might hold. You can see her whenever you want. But sadly, that will not always be true. Without being maudlin, the value of owning photographs of Mom (or anyone close to

Of all the events I shoot, there is this entertainer who always leave the audience with the quote below, i thought it is nice, sometimes not realistic though.. ~ Work like you don't need money, Live like theres no tomorrow, Love like you've never been hurt, And dance like no one's watching. ~

We had a wonderful afternoon photographing 3-month old Baby Joshua with parents in his home. Baby Joshua just woke up from his nap, and smiles when he saw us.

Today, a customer feedback that the 'JUST MARRIED' wordings on my current designs are too big, such that the names of the wedding couple may become not clearly visible. I thought about her comments and designed a new set of plates. These are are more 'retro' in nature (see photo above). I hope you like them. Existing Designs

Today I went to post a registered article in Singapore Post Office. While serving me, the officer asked, "Would you like to buy Abalone for Mother's Day? We are having a promotion.." I gently said 'No'. She then asked, 'How about getting a watch for your mum?' I was annoyed, but I told her gently, "My mum is not around anymore..." and I left the counter. My mother passed away in November 2003 due to cancer. That was about 2 years after I graduated from University and started my work life in a Statutory Board. I love my job, and usually worked till\late. My mum would then call me when I do not reach home by 8pm... Back then, I was bullheaded - as a young graduate wanting to climb the corporate ladder fast fast... and left my parents waiting at home for me... Mum was diagnosed with third stage lung cancer in February 2003. I was angry - i never thought this could happen to her. Mum did not want to go through chemotherapy, so she rested at

We did it! My friend Jeana and me did something we thought 'not that possible' in our lives. We took part in the 40km challenge without training! It was a real challenge to me considering that I am not one who exercise regularly to build up that much needed stamina. God blessed! We completed the 40km safely, and I did it with my folding bicycle :)

Happy 2009! Recently did a photoshoot for 2-year old Tan triplets. It was a challenge but we had fun :)
