Date taken: 6 June 2014
Place: Yuk Kong School Hall, Keningau




Distance will only make the love grow stronger.


When the eyes met.


The newlywed; Johnny and Marina.


Happiness.




"Distance means so little when someone means so much." is what I believe strongly agreed by this newlywed. Even though they work and stay quite a distance from each other, but that doesn't stop them from continuing to love each other even more. Standing strong against the test of time, they are now finally united in marriage. A love story that only a few could live in.

Love is a passion. It drives us forward everyday. Love brings sweets perfume. Its what make us so refresh all the time. Love changed us to a butterfly. Its presence always turns the bad into something beautiful. Love are like roses. Its colors are passionate, it's beautiful, it smells good and its surrounded with thorns. Yes, even the beautiful thing in life can be painful sometimes, but that's what love is all about. That's what life is all about.

The ups and down of life can be difficult for one to carry the burden by themselves. That's why God created Eve for Adam. A companion of love that can be there for one another, when going through the journey of life. Where they will support one another, encourage one another, help one another, love one another, because love is always the greatest source of inspiration to carry us forward in life. “Some people grumble that roses have thorns; I am grateful that thorns have roses.”

A night to remember.


Cake cutting ceremony.


The toast for happiness!


The newlywed; Sureshpal and Marilyn.


The eye candy.


One came from the West and another from the East. One descendant of a Singh and the other a Chinese descendant. Different culture, different heritage from two different world has come to a collision. Bringing beautiful colors to a union between two lovers.  "The best time to love with your whole heart is always now, in this moment, because no breath beyond the current is promised." You might find love in a far away land, and once you have, hold on to it and never let go. Life is too short to live in doubt, especially when you have someone who loved you so much and wanted to spend the rest of their life with you.

Keningau In Motion

Photographed by Daniel Chiam




I’ve always wanted to capture Keningau in a different perspective, and since I was doing a reading on long exposure shot, I decided that this will be the first of my many other photography project. I have come a long way since the day I walk around town with my point and shoot camera. This time around its more about practicing my techniques and putting what I've read into use. Photography is and has always been about what you can show rather than tell; how you know it was done.

So do enjoy these few pictures of my hometown – Keningau.
