Amateur Model Photoshoot at Citadines ApartHotel, Kuching

Here are a few shots of my favourite photography model, Florina Michael. She has featured here before. I've known her and watched her grow up since she was 9 so it's very easy to photograph her. She simply says, "Duncan, take my photo like this," or "Duncan, take my photo like that," and I snap away. Occasionally I put forward an idea for a shot, but it's very free and easy.























She was even kind enough to take a photograph with me!

International School of Kuantan (ISK) Open Day 13 -14 June, 2015

International School of Kuantan (ISK) held their first Open Day over the weekend of Saturday 13th - Sunday 14th June, 2015.

If you missed my tour of ISK, have a look by clicking on this link.

We attended the ISK Open Day on Sunday and had a very enjoyable time. The events were held in the hall with musical performances, a colouring competition for the children, a physiotherapy talk and the first ever "ISK's Got Talent."

ISK Open Day was also a time to meet up with friends old and new.

Met my current and former English students who go to ISK and who all performed admirably on the piano and singing. L-R: Bryan, Sherman, Isaac

Apart from my awfully pale skin, I love this picture with a great man whom I haven't caught or remembered his name over the years. He used to be a manager at KFC and I always had a chat with him while ordering our food there. He always provided great customer service. Now he's working with an advertising company and was at ISK for the Open Day

We brought along our friend, Sun Fu, to ISK Open Day. There he is, looking what to photograph next!

An important mention also goes to Bakley and June Anderson whom we didn't get a photo with, but who lent us some magazines for our girls to lean on while doing the colouring competition.

And we were shocked and thrilled when our daughter Lauren was awarded the Grand Prize of an ipad mini and hamper for winning the colouring competition! It was a quite unexpected moment and we are very proud of her!

Ramadhan Preview Dinner at Vistana Kuantan City Centre, 3rd June, 2015

We were among those invited to Vistana Hotel Kuantan's Ramadhan Preview Dinner as part of the 'media' group. It's so cool that my efforts with this blog and photography lands me as a member of the media here. Duly, here is my report on the evening's events.

Vistana Kuantan City Centre Ballroom for Ramadhan Preview Dinner

We arrived at 6:30pm and were showed to our places on table 45 - the media table. Curiously, there were only two other people on the table, representing Chinese newspaper, Nanyang Siang Pau. Others joined later on, but I didn't notice anyone other than myself taking any photographs of the event. So I guess this post is the exclusive!

Whilst tucking in to the delicious food on offer, I snapped these photos. There was pretty much everything you could imagine for Malaysian cuisine, apart from macaroons! Oh well, I gorged on a couple of chocolate mousses which were heavenly.

It was a great event and we truly ate till we were bursting! A great selection and quality of food all round. I'm sure you will enjoy the dinners during Ramadhan.
