Octwelve – A Web Designer's Blog by Luc Melgar

It’s been 7 months since I wrote something in my blog. And it’s been 1 year and 4 months since I joined Comnet here in Singapore. It’s been a busy year for me. No wonder I can’t even update my blog. Even though, being an employee is not as comfortable as being a freelancer, what i can say is, I’m happy here. It’s the people around me, the colleagues, friends, the good and evil clients that you have to deal with, the feeling that people are relying on you, that you are an important player in the team, the joy we share whenever WE did a good job for a project, the knowledge that we pass on each other, and ofcourse, the craziness in the office! These are the things that I didn’t have when I was working alone as a freelancer.

My goal is to learn as many things as possible and be more effective with my work. How I wish I can free up some more time to study, blog, take photos with L. And how I wish to to have more salary so I’ll be even more happier hahaha! ^_^

I know you guys have been waiting for ages for L’s journey series. Let me say that I’m terribly sorry that I wasn’t able to update on this. I’ve been busy with a lot of stuff here. L’s been neglected and to make up for it, we had these unworldly ice cream together :P We loooove this ice cream so much. For us, it’s a piece of heaven ^_^

This is a long overdue post. Last November, my friends and I went to Kuala Lumpur and Genting  Highlands, Malaysia.  I didn’t have enough time to do photography. Most of the pics I’ve taken are my friends’ and ofcourse, myself haha But here’s a few shots of my trip to Malaysia.

Malaysia is just a border away from Singapore. Going there, we travelled for 6 hours by bus.

See you later Singapore!

We’re going to Malaysia!

My 2008 has been great! And now I’m looking ahead for 2009. Cheers everyone! Happy New Year!
Here’s a video of the fireworks display we’ve captured at the Marina Bay.

It is quite challenging to shoot fireworks. I’ve only captured 3 good pics haha

In an attempt to bring you Singapore, at least the way I see it. I’m starting a photowalk series. First stop, around the area where I stay, Bedok. This is my daily surrounding here. These shots were taken at around 9:30-12:00 AM.

To Bedok MRT.

That’s the MRT above.

On my way to the bus interchange.

Finally, I had the chance to use my tripod and my camera to shoot night photography. My first attempt is around the area where I stay-Bedok, Singapore. I’ll post all the pictures tomorrow. Because today is Saturday (woot!) and I’m going to my friends. Have a nice weekend everyone!

I want to know what feeling this picture gives you.
