Mindy + YinHow

Posted on 23. Jul, 2008 by TY in Wedding

Date: 12 July 2008
Buddies: TY & Jack
Location: Penang

First of all, congratulations to Mindy and YinHow!! and thanks for given us this opportunity to capture the happy moments on your big day. May the photos bring lot of happiness and wish all of you have a wonderful life together!

A little bit about the location: QEII. Since the reception was night time, it was extremely dark and very challenging. So many thanks to the videographer of the night, of whom without his lights, it would have been almost impossible to get a decent photo. However, with ample lightings, or even during the day, the location is very beautiful.
And the special event before the end of the dinner was a dance, performed by the lovely wedding couple. Wow, they must have really planned and practiced before going on stage. This was really a good and unforgetable wedding dinner for everyone who attended, me included

Daniel…many many thanks for purposely made a trip to penang from kl to join us for the dinner reception!

Posted on 12. Jul, 2008 by TY in Maternity

My 4th maternity shoot. And this time it’s the pregnancy of my best friend’s wife ~ fay. Chengyi, the father-to-be has been my good friend and playmate since we were very young, and his wife, Fay, has been wanting to do this maternity session for a long time. So, this was a special arrangement for them, and they traveled up from KL to Penang for this shooting. The title of this set, comes from the fact that Fay is in her 3rd tri-mester, 7 months into the pregnancy.

Living in World Heritage Sites – “Penang & Melaka”

Posted on 10. Jul, 2008 by TY in Blog

I am glad that UNESCO has awarded Georgetown, Penang and Malacca as cultural world heritage sites recently.
As a 100% Penang born resident and Malacca town lover, i wish to thank all the people who have worked hard in getting this great recognition and i hope all will continue to maintain this status for our next generations.

Georgetown and Malacca are among eights sites chosen by UNESCO, i feel very lucky to have the opportunity to captured the beauty of these two World Heritage sites, the other sites are in Croatia, France, Papua New Guinea, San Marino, Slovakia and Germany. Hope i can cover all the heritage sites in the future….

A short history of Penang and Malacca

Malacca and George Town, historic cities of the Straits of Malacca (Malaysia) have developed over 500 years of trading and cultural exchanges between East and West in the Straits of Malacca. The influences of Asia and Europe have endowed the towns with a specific multicultural heritage that is both tangible and intangible. With its government buildings, churches, squares and fortifications, Melaka demonstrates the early stages of this history originating in the 15th-century Malay sultanate and the Portuguese and Dutch periods beginning in the early 16th century. Featuring residential and commercial buildings, George Town represents the British era from the end of the 18th century. The two towns constitute a unique architectural and cultural townscape without parallel anywhere in East and Southeast Asia. – United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
