On Top of The World (or rather South East Asia)

My very first attempt at scaling the peak of the highest mountain in South East Asia was to my surprise a very enjoyable, tough but manageable by my own standard and a lot of take home!

With Uncle Hock Siew who is climbing for the 63rd time of Mt. KK! and looking over at us is Khoo Swee Chiow, the man who climbed Mt. Everest 3 times and scaled the notorious K2! 

Since we were the last to reach Laban Rata, this is the reward for me.

Looking back sometimes, you see beautiful path that you have just passed.

Looking at the ordinary, and seeing the extraordinary. Many passed by, but not many realised.

With my Big Sister and our Photographer, Moggie taking a break or freaked out?

Do you see a rabbit here?

This stretch is pretty scary and intimidating.

Again, being the last batch to arrive back at the base camp, this is my another reward.

Learning and bonding with mums...through the art of photography

It was yet another unforgettable learning experience for not just the kids and me this time but also the mums of some of the kids who participated in this Junior Photo Workshop (JPW) that is opened for the first time to parents / guardians... learning photography together with the kids while spending some quality time with them at Penchala Hills.

 

The young photographers (from left Maia, Caitlyn, Sophie, Aidan, Hao Zhe, Apple, Xi Honn & Chen) with me.

The morning started with heavy rain but that did not hamper the spirit of the kids and mum who all finally made it to the workshop.

It was a good 4 hours of sharing, classroom and outdoor activities, including one where everyone make  and design their own photo mount / frame.

To sum up the whole experience, as one of the mum put it, "it was a real fun thing to do with the kids as it was a very interactive session"

 .... and with some of their mums....

We ended with a simple lunch prepared by my sisters who happened to be there with me and with the kids and mums  alike asking when will be the next workshop and looking forward to another one!

Bravo to my able assistant, Catherine and also Jonathan, Jiro and Alvin who helped me captured the preparation of the workshop and during the workshop in video!
