Canon Photomarathon 2007...

The Straits Times are not lying when they mentioned that there are 1082 participants for this event! Hmmmm, I wonder if there are more Nikon or Cannon owners down there?

John Cosgrove (Contributing Editor of PHOTOVIDEOi Magazine) holding the first theme of the day. He is also one of the 3 panel judges for the event.

Theme 1 - Passion

I caught this picture while one of my team mates, Terran is busy catching the shot. This is passion, right?

JS has one of the best lens among us, 70 - 300mm. All efforts to sabotage him during the event did not work as planned :)

Theme 2 - Challenge

This shot was taken while the man is busy gazing at the computer screens.

Theme 3 - Playtime!

This shot was taken while we are walking past the padang. These girls from Cedar Girls schools are busy preparing their tents for Sunday's Women 10KM run. They were very excited when we start shooting at them and decided to post this jubilant shot for us...

For those who wanted to lay their hands on the limited edition of Canon 2007 Photomarathon polo T-shirt, I have decided to sell it on E-Bay for US$30. Don't worry, it will be washed:)

Above shots are all taken with Nikon D50, 18-55mm kits lens:)

Theme 1 - Passion
Should be
Rule 1 - Passion

I believe everything you do (in life) PASSION is always THE MOST IMPORTANT.

I've been in the Quality line for many years...because of PASSION.

I've keep fish for many years too....because of PASSION.

Once my very rich friend's father told us "if you have passion in what you do, $ will comes along". I believe it.

However, passion in what you do (in your job or personal life) without support from the people above you or love ones = "zero"; your passion will run dry.

Passion = hard work (which you don't find it hard but enjoyable).
Keep fish is the love my in life, but it comes with a lot of hard work (changing water at least once a week) but I find it enjoyable.

Find the passion in your life and it will lead you the way. With the support from your love ones, you will success in whatever you do. That's what I believe.

What would you do if you are no longer afraid....

A recent phone chat with Terran, my University friend cum neighbour revealed that he has quitted his full time job to pursue his own dreams. At a time when money and career meant a lot to most of us, he has chosen a path otherwise taken. He has taken up a full time course on multimedia and visual communication design in the hope of fulfilling his interest. I remembered Terran said something during the conversation that I will never forget:" I never want to be an engineer again ". So what really prompt him to make a bold career move, especially since he has just got married and needed a full time job to earn his bacon? To Terran, life means living to the fullest. He didn't want to earn his monthly bacon and pass to his wife, rather, he wants to know what would have happened if he has pursued his interests. Terran's story touches my heart immersely! Deep inside, I'm tired after working as an engineer for 5 years. Day in and out, we engineers have been slogging hard ...

Who stole my CHEESE???

This week, there was a lot of excitement going on among the employees at Seawater Corp. because it is the "Cheese" distribution time. It is the time when many people thought they should be duly rewarded for all the hard work that they have put in for the past year. I had a good talk with my manager, Mr D on this Marc: Will I get high increment this year? D: You know, there is only this piece of Cheese and there are 9 of you... Marc: Will I get promoted this year? D: Out of the 9 guys inside my team, I can only promote 1. Marc: Isn't that 10%? D : Statistically, you are right! Marc: But D, I couldn't wait that long! D: You know, I waited 10 years before I become a manager, Marc: Speechless..... I assessed my satisfaction of my current increment based on 3 criteria 1) Comparison with past year's increment 2) Comparison with S average increment 3) Comparison with National average increment.. I did a survey on some colleagues and found that most of the employees at ...

Life's important lesson: What have you learn today?

People have been asking me this question:"Marc, why did you leave H, aren't you happy working there? Why risk throwing a job away when the job stability in Singapore is not really that good?" I'm amused..... Sure, in a manufacturing environment, I can't denied that we keep hearing about job retrenchments. But then again, which company is "retrenchment free"? Even SIA has to retrench to keep itself lean. I don't really think Singapore economy is that bad. The news about people losing their jobs overnight was meant to educate Singaporeans to appreciate whatever jobs they are holding now. In Singapore, we are a very conservative lot of people who are very afraid to try out things. We are afraid of losing our jobs, health, marriage, property..... You name it and we have it. (This explains why insurance agents are laughing their way through) Why should we worry about losing all these things? Shouldn't we be treasuring whatever we owned at this moment ...
