When Capturing Photo in Emulsion and you have very limited of film stock at that time.
I think I only brought 5 rolls of film to Rome during the first visit.

Now, you can capture as many images as you want and share on Social Media.

Was at Ginza meeting a friend of mine looking for career opportunity then dropping by at Ricoh Imaging Art Gallery.

This time they exhibit Raymond Cauchetier's France New Wave photo series.

Lots of interesting moment but this particular photograph really caught my attention.

Lots of stories and emotion.
Reminded me why I love Media Production.

Image from Il suffit d'aimer, Robert Darēne.

Fortunate I got the chance to visit Italy 2 times

Fortunate I got the chance to visit Italy 2 times when I was 18 years old and 20 years old.

It was my first time wandering around Italy and then most of Europe major city.
European City has a lot of history, but there's one thing you need to aware when travelling around Europe. There's a lot of thief, regardless of age will follow and target especially Asian tourist. Always be aware of your surrounding.

Bring less, dress minimal. Don't show off, enjoy the architecture and the renaissance mixture of modern cityscape.
One day, I want to visit the whole Europe again. I miss Rome and Prague especially.

That's my late Popo, I'm not sure how many months

That's my late Popo, I'm not sure how many months old am I. Must be less than 3 months old since the mom's mom will take care of the baby during the first 3 months after pregnancy.

I'm 33 now for god sake, following the path I want to do and patiently meeting someone who believe my value and create something awesome together. ------ Manage to login into my old 'cloud drive' back in the dotcom era. (I sound too old).
Back in the days when we have a Blog, you have no choice to use a 3rd party server to upload your photos/video before the invention or addition of 'media space' or 'clouds'. The most frequent 3rd party media space I used back in the days was Photobucket.

Meeting up with a Photo Management, asking about possibilities to add me as roster and catching up with owner how's life and the industry in Japan.

No, I won't be part of their roster which is understandable because it take honour and commitment for an agency.

But building a meaning relationship is more important.
One thing is, being an artist you have the freedom of time to create whatever you want. But because of that freedom, you have to take a great responsibility on your work and also great responsibility how are you going to survive financially.

You may be earning only $50 today, suddenly $50k the next project. then you have to survive with nothing for 3-4 months.

Since I'm not part of the program no more, that means no more monthly salary. I have to take care of my financial while looking for a gigs, applying job and creating content at the same time.

While doing all the things I mentioned above, I just let it flow what will happen to me the next day or week.. Take care of your mental health, take care of yourself, it's ok to feel down for a day or 2 but make sure be real to yourself and discipline yourself because some thing you need to be done.

This portrait taken by Fushimi-san, photo agency owner called Mash Management, been following them since 2007 when I was still in Melbourne.

I look content and happy although I'm struggle to get a job here with only less than RM1k or JPY30k yen left in my account.

Keep showing your work, keep sending message.
Create your opportunity now, don't wait for entitlement where people call you.

Just do it and learn that life ain't a smooth journey afterall.

When I decide to open my option finding other opportunity. Sending messages to a few agency that I'm interested and sending résumé and CV to companies that seeking creative people like me

In less than a few days, I got email and call for an interview.

Today is my first day meeting up a prospect company who sent me an email via my website.
And starting tomorrow I have another 3 interview.

Keep sending, don't think too much.
Update your website, add new work and produce more content on all platform. Be honest and tell them you're seeking career opportunity.

Every panic moment, take a step back.
Forget the moment then ask yourself what do you want to learn in your career.

Screw everything and go for it.

Diversity is not the future. Diversity is now. Ni

Diversity is not the future.
Diversity is now.

Nice catching up with everyone although it's only for 2 hours.

Every person who passing by this area everyday has their own story to tell.

It might be their first time and shocked the amount of people walking. Some are get used to with the crowd and some like me still amaze no matter how many times passing-by.

We are in this era where sharing personal stories is a norm thing and strangers love to listen because they want to be part of the same feeling that they never left out.

Whether is it good or bad, it's all about the perspective how you experience and view each person story.

As for my story, I am currently living in Tokyo enjoying every single moment and at the same time struggling to live due to waiting time to start my work. Since it is taking time, I have decided to open my option and applying a few jobs online and also using recruitment agency.

Life is a roller coaster, just be prepared and stay positive. Because I believe every struggle will make you a more better and understanding person.

Stay awesome to all my friend.
And also to those who ignored me for quite sometimes, you too stay awesome.

Sometimes, the person you cherish the most as friend won't see or treat you how you do.

That's the most unwanted heartbreaking and uncomfortable feeling.

Worst than betray and breakup or even someone you grateful passed away.

But like my friend says.
That's how Life work.

Moving forward and left the unwanted baggage behind.

Korean Dindins in Korean Town.

人生の旅、新しいの視点。

Life will never be a smooth journey, as I have accepted that's how it's gonna be.

For the first time, I feel like a month break is too long for me. It's not about the contribution. More of productivity to achieve something great for myself.

I will be heading back home to #KotaKinabalu for 9 days as my final 1 month break before begin my new job.

2019 is like a experimental journey in my 30s into Creative Managerial workforce.

Time do change.

I still remember 2009 when I turn 23, it was my 1st experimental journey getting out from University into Journalism workforce. That's where Digital come in and changing the whole culture of Journalism from a piece of paper into Digital where you can read through your Tablet, PC and 1st generation of Smartphone.

When a new chapter comes, your anxiety appear which is normal because you're getting out from your comfortable zone.

It will get thru and you'll be a better person.

More excitement to come. 🥂🥂 9日間帰国に行ってきます。

Wishing everyone have a great fulfilment weekday.⁠
⁠
I am just departing from Shin-Osaka Station and heading to Tokyo.⁠
⁠
A new journey of #FlaneganbInTokyo begins soon.⁠

Count your life with a smile, not tears. 🙂 When moving back to Japan.I thought will lose weight for sure like how I lost 30kgs previous stay.⁠
But I'm wrong. ⁠
Maybe because the canteen's office provides a variety of foods from all over the world. I got spoilt and pampered with full of calories love.⁠
My fluffiness, weight and size still remain the same.⁠
Moving to Tokyo might be a good choice.⁠
Being back to fully independent, walking centric metropolitan and also buying my own food means I will be more aware of the food I'm eating.⁠
⁠
Hopefully, by the end of September.⁠
I will be fully dressed with a better smile.⁠
That's my plight to everyone who reads this message.⁠

*regret later*
