I’m currently listening to Samsons – Romansa Cinta & Keris Patih – Lagu Rindu. It’s been a while I didn’t listen to Indon songs since I came here. Suddenly I feel melancholic, keep repeating those two songs on my media player. It reminds me of my hometown, my family and friends. Life in here is totally different, as I expected. I have less friends. Wait, I don’t even have a friend yet. Friends in the office are just officemate. They aren’t counted.
So basically, on weekdays I go to work. Get into the office before 9 am. Go home by 5 pm. That’s my routine 5 days a week. During weekends, as I mentioned on previous post, it is meant to be a sleeping day LOL. Well, I would love to go out and take pictures around the city but sometimes I’m just too lazy. Too lazy to get up from my comfort bed. Urm, plus it’s a fasting month. Those are the reasons from “Si Pemalas” like me.
I miss roti canai & teh tarik kedai mamak. I miss kenduri kawen, ‘coz I used to go to kenduri kawen twice a week every weekend. Why? Ambil gambar orang kawen lah apa lagi. Basically, those were my activities over the weekend. What I normally do was, I would take one weekend off just to get some rest and a wee space to hang out with friends. At least, I did not spend every weekend lepak at kenduri kawen shooting. But the more job you get, the more money coming in LOL.
Nevertheless, you still have to ensure every single album you are making is well organised. Luckily, I didn’t involve much on preparing the album for the clients. I was only an associate photographer so, regularly after shooting, I went home, did some editing then I’ll burn the photos into a CD and handed it over to the respective people who will manage the rest of it. Then I get paid. Hulala!
Hopefully when I get home someday, I still have an opportunity to do wedding again. Although it’s tiring, at least you get to do something you love. My hobby is taking pictures, not taking wedding pictures but as long as it’s related, so why not give it a go. I get paid anyway, haha.
In fact, I get to know many KL roads because of the wedding job. Finding clients house is one big problem if their house located somewhere I’m not familiar with. Maklumlah, aku Mat K (mat kelate), bukan Mat KL. Manalah tau sangat jalan kat KL tu. Anyway, it’s fun though. If you lost, read the signboard. If there’s no signboard, pandai-pandai lah kau.
Love,
Faris
