Pesta Kaamatan

Pesta Kaamatan which is means Harvest Festival always being celebrated on the month of May here in Sabah. It is celebrated by the ethnic of Kadazan Dusun and Murut. The peak of the feast is on 30th May and 31st May.

So, I want to take this opportunity to all wish Happy Kaamatan to all Sabahans. Eventhough this celebration mostly involving drinks(local alcoholic drinks), please remember that it is dangerous to drink and drive. 

Drink moderately and please consider the safety of others too.

Shoot-ing ;)

Happy Monday friends!

How is your day?.. I guess some of you might feel it is blue Monday. Well don't be. Just think out that it will pass quickly.. Indeed time really flies, isn't it ?.. :)

Well, today I would like to share with you the important task that I'd been involved about a couple weeks ago. If you happened to read my post entitled A Movie Day Out, I am sure you really waiting for this post.

Actually the important task that I had been involved was the wedding of Bede and Luziana. My hubby was appointed as an official photographer for their wedding. And as usual hubby asked me for help. Well, I did not refused the offer, but as you know I have to think about Gabriel and so on. And yes, finally we agreed to send Gabriel to his grandma, for the whole Saturday.

The wedding ceremony took place at Sepanggar (the bride's resident), where the photography works began as early as 7 am, started from the bride's make-up session. I did the shots for the make-up session as hubby said the bride might be more comfortable if a lady photographer did the shots. And I guess so..

The preparation now ended at about 9 am and proceed to St. Thomas Church in Kepayan. The wedding mass started at 10 am. Feels like, macam saya pula mau kawin balik..LOL. Seriously, everytime I do shots of a wedding in church, it's a reminiscence of our wedding back in 2007. Oh how I miss that moment.. :D

As usual, as the wedding mass ended, the photo-shooting then started. It's involving the whole family of the bride and groom. All were happy faces. Indeed, I love to see those smiles and of course I put it in my shots. ;)

All the way from St Thomas Church, Kepayan, the whole family including the bride and groom proceed back to Sepanggar where the wedding reception was held. By this time, we managed to took lunch at Lintas for a while before heading to the wedding reception to continue the work of shooting there.

By the way, here are some shots done by me.. ;)

It was a very hot weather. But somehow, we managed to finish the task. I am gratefully thanks to the couple for giving us full trust to be their official photographer on their special day.

Walaupun panas, puas hati jg dapat tingu urang minum2, dancing2 and karaoke lg tu. Ada tu satu uncle nyanyi lagu dusun, atukoi..funny betul. Indeed, he made my day di hari yg terlampau panas itu..hehe..

Okay, that's all for now. 

Thanks for visiting here. Have a fun week ahead. :)

p/s: visit HERE for more pics ;)

Mother's Day 2012

13th May 2012 was a meaningful and special day for me. It was Mother's Day celebration. And it was meaningful enough as it's my 1st time ever to celebrate this event. I mean we celebrate it every year, but this year I become a mother myself, that makes it special for me.

So if you ask me how's Motherhood?.. What is so special being a Mother?. What you can get from being a Mother?.. All I can say is, it was amazing.  Yes, indeed. It was an amazing experiences for me. And it's still amaze me.. Well, of course it's a way long to go. I promise to myself to become the best mother to our child. And at the meantime I am enjoying motherhood and cherishing the moment.

Now, I rather let you put yourself in my situation to know how it's look like to be a mother. That's mean (to all married ladies who still doesn't have a child at the moment) you have to act real fast! No regret.. :P

By the way, we celebrated Mother's Day over a luncheon at Jack & Pot Cafe, Penampang. It was fun indeed. And Gabriel definitely the attention of the day. Ba dia seja baby kicil sana yg kuat main kan hehe..  

Although it was only a simple gathering, I appreciate it. It's the thought that counts. The peak of the luncheon was the cutting cake ceremony and photoshoots. :D

 3 Moms. Me, my mom and my mother in-law. Look at Gabriel, dia pun mau potong kek..haha

 Mother's Day cake. Blueberry flavor ;)

 The family..

 

My small family ;)

Thank you to all (you definitely know who you are) for the wishes. I received private FB messages, messages thru the phone, and on my FB wall. I was so touched and really appreciate the thoughts.
GOD bless all of you. :D 

That's it for now. Thanks for visiting here.. :)

A Movie Day Out

It's been a while.

Yes, i guess it has been 8 months plus. This is the very first time ever since I delivered Gabriel. Hubby planned to watch the movie 'The Avengers', just the 2 of us.

Honestly, i couldn't bear the thinking of letting Gabriel at home. But i pushed myself to do so. Of course we sent him to his grandma. Hubby already planned this on and I don't want to let him down, plus I also want to watch 'The Avengers' movie.. :P

We went for a movie day out on last Wednesday at GSC Suria Sabah.  It was a working day and just a few people in the hall.

A fun and indeed memorable moment. Mcm bujang balik, baru p dating2..LOL. Thanks to hubby for this idea.. Well, i guess he wants this for a long time and he thinks now is the right time. He booked the movie ticket via Iphone lg tu, tidak mau berbaris kunun.. i appreciate his effort.. :)

Just us at cinema lobby.

 Captain America! My fav hero! ;)

Yeay! ada org belanja popcorn hehe

I found this advertisement board funny when I saw the Black Widow. Kepala dia besar..LOL

Okay, that's it for today. Indeed I'll cherish this moment. Thank you GOD for giving me a chance to live another moment. 

By the way,  I'm getting ready for tomorrow's event. Preparing myself for a big task tomorrow. It's another big task for me.. (i guess..:P). Will blog it out soon..:)

Till then, have a blessed weekend ahead. :)

A Trip to KL

The flight tickets done.

Yes, we booked returned air tickets. This would be the 1st trip to KL for this year. It was the idea of hubby to bring along Gabriel and I to KL.

He is actually will be attending a conference regarding to his work in KL. I am so happy that he wanted to bring us along. The conference would be from 24th-25th May 2012. And we extended our stay until 28th May 2012.

Well, I've been planning to visit Cameron Highland since I never been there before. I think this time around, I should visit there. I had been to Genting Highland several times, perhaps Cameron Highland is more relaxing place to stay. We plan to go there on the 26th.

At Cameron Highland. Looks like a nice place to stay.

This would be the very first trip for our little Gabriel to Peninsular Malaysia. I am excited for him. For sure, I'll shot a lot of pics for remembrance. :D

By the way, could some of you give me an idea about Cameron Highland? (for those who've been there). What is the affordable rate of a place to stay?.. But it should be a nice and comfortable place.

And some more, we were thinking of renting a car to go there. What might a rental fee for a medium size car?.. Should be with GPS service, since hubby doesn't now the place. Or perhaps with a car seat for our lil' Gabriel hehe.. :P

I am really appreciate it if you can drop some infos in my comment box. Thank you.:D

Have a blessed week ahead.
