My first photo shooting with Rayna- a pretty cute baby (8 days old)

Last week, my colleagues and I went to visit Azalea's 8 days' old baby. This is my first time capturing photos of a newborn baby. The baby looks fragile and small to me :p.

Anyway, Azalea's baby has a special and meaningful name. Her baby name is Rayna Tasnim.

In Arabic/Muslim dictionary, Rayna means pure and clean. I found out it also means "queen" in Latin, Rusian, Spanish or even French language. Azalea has a princess baby!

Her baby following name, Tasnim also comes from Arabic origin, Tasneem. Tasneem is a fountain in Jannahh (Paradise) whose drink is superior to the purest of wines. Its nectar will only be drunk by those nearest to Allah Ta'ala. Literally means "rich and elevated".

Let me introduce you guys to Azalea's pretty cute princess baby, Rayna Tasnim...

Baby photo of Rayna, 8 days' old.

She slept soundly even when we were laughing and making noises chatting with Azalea.

Pretty Azalea always looks cheerful and smilling all the time.

Baby Rayna loves the gentle touch/stroke on her head.

Baby Rayna: Oooo... I'm lovin it... (wink)

Baby Rayna: Ewwww..... saliva !!!

In photo, Azalea, an experienced mom who handled her baby gently with care.

The sweet Baby Rayna woke up awhile without even crying. It is feeding time for Baby Rayna. After feeding, she grazed beautifully at her pretty mummy.

 ... and then she checked around by looking and observing the aliens strangers before falling asleep again.   

You can feel the inner peace in her. Baby Rayna will grow up becoming a very calm woman!

Another photo of baby Rayna resting on her mummy's arm.

Baby Rayna: Don't disturb me... I'm in "boxing mode"...

Finally, 2 engineers (thlun & Simon) and 1 PHD candidate (Cheryl) completed assembling Baby Rayna's new toy and placed it near her bed.

Photo shows brotherly love showered by Baby Rayna's brother, Ameer. He kisses his little sister many times before going to school everyday.

Shortly after having a cup of tea prepared by her mother in-laws, we left the place while Baby Rayna continue with her sleeping beauty pose.

Congratulation to you (Azalea) and your family for having such a sweet and lovely Baby Rayna.

She is one of the God's greatest gift.

May your newborn bring you and your family lots of joy for a long, happy and healthy life together. ^^

Photos on farewell lunch for Teck Lam

I joined my colleagues last week to have a farewell lunch for one of the interns, Teck Lam from UTM. He is leaving the company after being bullied having his industrial training for around three to four months.

Teck Lam's farewell lunch with his colleagues (ex-colleagues now).

The lunch was held at Secret Recipe, KL Sentral. Apart from the poorly air-conditioned place, it is a nice environment with plenty of natural lights and spaces. Besides that, it is nice to shoot portrait photos. ^^

Secret Recipe at KL Sentral.

We camwhore posed around while waiting for the food to arrive.

Photo of pretty Cheryl with the pose, "call me, and vote for me...."

Cute photo of KK with peace sign while C-Onn admiring looking on at the back.

Photo of Cheryl with the new intern, Zatil.

More portrait photos of Zatil.

A cool pose of my photog buddy, thlun who is passionate about photography as well.  

C-Onn was happy as his favourite brand (Starbucks) is just a stone away.

The farewell guy (TeckLam) must be dreaming of his delicious food that will be served soon.

Another intern, Kelvin who is still surviving having his training.

(The 2 photos on the right was shot by thlun).

Photo of Simon and Cheryl who had fun posing with the Secret Recipe's menus.

Simon (or should be Mrs. Petterson) with his new, two-tone color hair, happily sharing a prawn macaroni with extra cheese.

Cheryl (or should be Jason) misses home and got to "taste" the yummy Sarawak laksa noodle.

After lunch, we stayed on to digest the food and gossip chat for awhile.  

Laughters are the best medicine in this world. No stress and no worries.

While others was chatting, Simon was busy playing/browsing with his iphone.

... and I continued "playing" with my baby (SLR) and snapped some candid shots.

There was a particular moment, C-Onn looked like in deep-thinking mode.

Perhaps, the share market has re-opened after lunch and prices went up to his delight.

Last but not least, we had a group photo with the farewell guy for remembrance.

It is really a pleasure to know you (Teck Lam). All the best to you in your future endevours and do keep in touch.

Breakaway holiday... for Sun, Beach, and Babes

Sorry for abandoning this blog for few days as  I was away recently....as I was having my holiday at Phuket Islands, Thailand.

Me at Patong Beach, Phuket Islands.

Although the heat from the sun is sometimes unbearable during the first few days, it is a nice weather especially to capture nice photos under the abundance of sun lights while exploring Phuket Islands.

I have been trying to find time editing the photos captured during the short trip of 4 days 3 nights at Phuket Islands.

Please stay tune for more photos to come....
