Who is Khai?

In really simple terms, and mostly true, Khai is just your regular guy next door. That is of course affirmed by the fact that I'm working from home.

My days are as regular as any another working person - I spend my mornings with coffee, catching up on the news, checking and replying to e-mails and enquiries. If I'm not out shooting, the rest of the day is spent on maintaining my website, writing articles, editing images, designing books, liaising with my printers... some are interesting and challenging, others are pretty boring but it all needs to get done.

Evenings are reserved for meeting clients, then dinner or straight to supper depending on the time that I have. When I get home, I catch up on the news again and reply to new e-mails and enquiries.

It's pretty much a 7-day work week for me, and as I shoot mostly on weekends, I try to keep at least one weekend a month as my day(s) off. I think it's pretty important to recharge and stay fresh and motivated in this line. The killer to any job or career is feeling the onset of burn-out.

But it's not all work... I listen to a lot of music whilst editing my images, depending on the mood. Exit Musik ( a collection of Radiohead covers) is a current favourite. I've also been playing a Pink Floyd DVD (reflections and echoes) in the background. Michel Gondry's DVD of his music video works are also inspiring when I'm taking a break.

I'm also a 'lepak' kind of guy and a regular at Simpang Bedok. This is really the most convenient place for me and my friends to catch up. The days of being Young and Dangerous are slowly fading away... *semua dah tua dan mula sedar diri* amin~

I guess that's enough of me talking about myself - the length of this post is approaching self-indulgence and narcissism, so I shall end this here and do look out for upcoming posts as I have articles catered for future brides and grooms.
