Krabi is a really beautiful place. From the sandy idyllic beaches, to the great tasting tom yam kung, to the ocean dotted with a myriad of astounding islands. It is a brilliant place to kick back, relax, and unwind. A much quieter place than Phuket, I can see why Krabi is popular among honeymooners :) More photos at the: photo gallery
Dropped by at a park early in the morning post independence day. There were flowers scattered all over the ground, blanketing the park with a sea of fresh flowers. It was a refreshing change in scenery and a great photo opportunity. More photos at the: photo gallery
Dropped by the Jazz Fest on Saturday night (26 July 08) and witnessed Mia Palencia’s performance in all her powerhouse glory. She has a really amazing voice which sends shivers tingling down your spine! All I can say is “WOW”! Thanks Mia for treating us to true sonic bliss, both vocally and musically.
Congrats to Chee Kam & Jennifer who exchanged their vows on 19 July 2008! Decided to post process all the photos in black & white (some with a hint of sephia tones) this time. Enjoy the photos and do let me know what you think!

The link to my photo gallery can be found on the top-right section of this webpage, under the “Links” category. It contains my previous postings of photos before I started this blog. I’ll still continue to update photos into the gallery whenever I have enough photos to form an album
Dropped by Bon Odori 2008 at the Panasonic Sports Complex in Shah Alam to have a look. Got there at almost 6PM and the crowd was steadily growing. Was only there for less than 2 hours though… when I left, the crowd was enormous! There were cars parked up to 1km away from the complex.
Here are some shots that I took. To view larger images, right-click on the viewer and select “Go Fullscreen”.

This is an excerpt from my “ME, ME, ME… AND ME” section, but I thought I’d include it here anyway… So here goes:
Ooi Eric. Yeap, that’s my actual name. It’s probably one of the shortest names around with only 7 letters!
Photography junkie, performance car enthusiast, 60’s retro modern designs lover, and jazz music nut.
I’m currently using a Canon EOS 40D with the following lenses:
I started out with travel photography but am currently moving towards shooting events and people. I shoot whenever I get the chance. I love wedding photography as it is one of the most joyous and heart-felt occasions that we go through in our adult lives. I enjoy capturing the best and most emotional moments of the day as these photographs span across generations to tell the tale of the wedding day. It is the passion that fuels me and hopefully propels me to greater heights as I continue to improve. It has been a wonderful journey thus far and I’m looking forward to bigger and better things to come in the very near future!
I’ve loved cars ever since I was a baby. My parents told me that after I was delivered, I’d raise hell every night wailing my lungs out and wouldn’t go to bed. The only way for them to allay the situation was to take me for a ride in dad’s trusty Mazda. I would always fall asleep while riding in the car…
My love for performance cars started when I got a 1996 Honda Civic. It was a purely stock car when I got it. I was ‘poisoned’ into the world of car tuning by a very close friend and eventually, I saved up enough money and plunked in a B16A engine to replace the original heart of the Civic. Although puny in size, the B16A engine gave enough juice to produce 170bhp. Not bad for a 1.6 engine.
My current ride is a Version 8 Subaru Impreza WRX STi and I love it to bits. Thanks to the previous owner who took good care of her, she’s in pristine condition and produces about double the power of my previous ride.
My fixation on retro modern designs came along when I bought my second condominium. My first pad was blanketed mostly with items from Ikea. When it came time to furnish my second place, I didn’t want it to have that Ikea look anymore. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I really wanted my new place to be injected with my personality, not just another place that looked like the catalogue. So I started designing my own furniture and fixtures. After much research, the 60’s retro modern designs started to grow on me. It is the timeless beauty of the designs that really caught me eye. What was created almost 50 years ago is still fresh today. Simply amazing… and my respect goes out to the designers of those times.
I’m pulled to great jazz music like a magnet. Jazz to me is elegant, eloquent, charming, and sophisticated. It is also a very relaxing genre of music to plunge into and get cozy with. I think jazz is an acquired taste, but it’s not difficult to fall in love with the soothing voices and lively beats.
After running my website for some time now, I’ve finally decided to incorporate a blog as a way to communicate with my viewers.
My website will *probably* be dedicated mostly to my photography, as that is what I’m mainly getting my hands dirty with these days… we’ll see how it goes as time moves on.
Do drop me a comment just to say ‘hi’ or to comment on my photos. Constructive criticism is always welcomed to help me improve!
