It’s now October 2025, end of Q3 2025, start of Q4 2025, the last quarter for the year 2025, this marks the start of the final sprint to the finishing line for year 2025. This final quarter of 2025 would be more of a consolidation, reorganise and prepare myself to finish the year 2025 on a good note, considering the slow and difficult economy in 2025. Right now, start of a new month, back to sharing my technology/business/personal themes and plans for October 2025.
Technology
While it has been fruitful and enriching technology events/conferences in August and September 2025, my technology writing coverage is not up to speed as I have to prioritise finding business (photography work, content creation work) to earn revenue over my technology writing. Writing technology topics have always been a strong interest, whether it’s from me as a consumer tech geek or from a business/enterprise technology perspective from my SME experiences.
Here are my key technology articles that I am working on (backlogs)
- Dell Technologies Forum 2025
- IBM Think Day Singapore 2025
- Dell InnovateFest 2025
- Temus announcements
- Interview articles on the areas of AI technology and developments
Along with my technology related posts, I also have other technology media news that I received from time to time, together with photography, content creation and travel related media news.
Business
It’s the final quarter of 2025, while it’s not time to do the year 2025 in review, I would be using this final quarter to consolidate and work towards finishing year 2025 on a good note, taking into considerations the difficult and challenging economic conditions in the past three quarters.
Photography Business
On my TGH Photography and Travel portal/blog writing about my photography / visual storytelling / content creation themes and plans, I am keeping it more personal and on the areas of creativity, and personal works instead of my photography business side of things.
Therefore, I would share my photography business insights here together with my business segment. Thanks to a fellow photographer friend for his referral to an agency, that opened up new working photography assignments and future opportunities with them.
There was a recent news on firms not allowed to engage foreign freelancers to provide creative services in Singapore, you can find our more from this Straits Times article. How would it help the local photography, videography and creative industry, remains to be seen.
On photography, content creation and travel related media news coverage, I am clearing my backlogs on some key news and updates on new gadgets and events taking place.
It’s been a number of years since I had someone under my photography guidance, during that period I was also adding on more photography knowledge, skills and experiences. Now I feel is the appropriate time to make a return, taking a new apprentice/intern under my charge.
Content Creation / Social Media Marketing
On content creation, it’s an ongoing presence, whilst getting slower at times due to workloads and commitments. Just as competitive as the photography, videography and creative industries, keeping fingers crossed for future opportunities and projects, combining content creation, photography, videography and social media marketing.
Social media marketing side of things, working towards building new partnerships and working relationships when there are opportunities. The local content creators / key opinion leader (KOL) industry has its own quirks and expectations from both sides of the demand and supply side of things.
Personal
I also share my photography / visual storytelling / content creation themes and plans (more on personal and creative side of things) for the month of October 2025, do visit my TGH Photography and Travel portal/blog and have a read!
The struggles are real, society is under a lot of pressure with costs of living and job security, the amount of tense up pressures can be seen in our daily life and what’s happening in our society. Taking on a caregiver role also adds a lot of stress and pressure, the heavy burdens on the shoulders of caregivers as society ages in greater numbers, our very own family members and relatives.
Many a times, we don’t know what others might be going through, our relatives and friends also might not know what we are going through, the challenges and pressures we are facing.
Repeating myself like a broken recorder again: Everyone of us has our own battles, family matters, personal matters, on top of work or business related battles to fight. Let’s be more kind, understanding, and not judge without the stories behind them.
Like this rainbow that I came across recently (a faint double rainbow), I hope it can give you some encouragement, solace and support.
