ALVIN & SOOK FUN

Coincidentally, I realized that my fourth post coincided with the Star Wars Episode IV! Ha ha ha.... what a coincidence! So now we have been getting some pretty good responses to our venue for outdoor pre-wedding photography. Personally, I think this is a good sign, as many a time the team @THSH, informs me that not many people actually come here. It is especially hard to give directions to locals as well! And you would have thought that everyone knew KL Train Station! I have also received comments from couples that the Hotel looks old and scary! (Goodness - really?). In actual fact, I too am guilty of not appreciating our own culture and heritage .... it was only when I was posted to Siem Reap, Cambodia back in 2006 (before my task at THSH), I came to the realization of how lucky we are in Malaysia (divine intervention perhaps?). Not only that, the Cambodians were really proud of their language, heritage and culture! It was a rude awakening for me of sorts. Since coming back home and taking on this project at THSH, I began to see that I had an opportunity to do something for the community, whether it is successful or not, I won't know ... perhaps I am just a small voice in a big ocean, but I have always believed, and I quote from Lao Tzu 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step', - unquote. Nuff said .... on with the photos!


'I will always be here for you, through ups and downs'


'A moment in time, frozen forever'


'The Heavens know I will always be safe in your arms'


'Walking down the aisle, meeting destiny'


'Our Veil of Love will shelter us from harm'

Alvin & Sook Fun's story as to how they came about to my place @THSH, I was standing outside the Hotel again (doing you know what...) when all of a sudden, an entourage of 4 persons attacked me! "Sir? Can I please take some wedding photos at your hotel?" asked the photographer politely. His name was Adam and he actually came from a bridal house! After explaining to him what was required, Alvin & Sook Fun readily gave me their approval and they went clicking away happily. What really surprised me was the speed which Adam took to take the photos! All less then forty five minutes! Adam, where is my tip for carrying your photography bag ar? You still owe me!!! Oh, btw Adam, if your blog is not activated yet, please don't put it on your name card! For more photos, please refer to Adam's site.

  1. My friend just told me about this blog post and although a bit late, my wife and I (Alvin & Sookfun) would like to thank you again for letting us use your venue for our prewedding photos.

    We loved the whole environment of the Heritage Station Hotel and so does most of our friends who has seen the photos.

    Thanks again.
