The year 2018 is drawing to a close soon, just a few more days before we enter into the months of November and December. This had had been a pretty fruitful year till date, slow and improved growth. Writing a short update article for myself and my readers, on some of the things that took place prior to this day.<\/p>\n

Regularly and consistently writing and publishing articles is very challenging to do and maintain <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

On my technology and personal website\/blog<\/a>, you can see the days whereby my articles were published and if you observed for the month of October, I was pushing myself to clear my backlog and publish as many articles as I could during the first two weeks of October 2018. Thereadfter, it just slowed down again.<\/p>\n

While on my photography, travel and food website\/blog<\/a>, it wasn\u2019t as \u201caggressive\u201d for the month of October 2018. There weren\u2019t that many articles published due to the content nature and time needed to create content for them.<\/p>\n

To be able to regularly and consistently write, and publish articles on both my technology and personal website\/blog and my photography, travel and food website\/blog, it\u2019s very challenging to do it and maintain this momentum, on top of running a photography business, building up side business, networking, discussions, strategic planning, partnerships and collaborations.<\/p>\n

I would still need to find a balance between writing, creating and publishing content, along with running my photography business and developing side business.<\/p>\n

Many a times, my energy is zapped dry and flat out.<\/p>\n

Always on the lookout for new opportunities, partnerships and collaborations<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

I had been upfront since I started this journey that doing purely photography business would never be sufficient due to the nature of the photography industry being disrupted by competition and technology changes.<\/p>\n

Therefore, I am always on the lookout for new opportunities, partnerships and collaborations on top of the existing ones that I had. During the search and lookout, I had more disappointments than anything else.<\/p>\n

Personally, I hope to announce and launch a new collaboration soon, if I manage to work it out with my 2 friends. Let\u2019s see how it goes and we have a very unique name for this collaboration.<\/p>\n

Appointed EOS World Community Ambassador 2018 (27^{th\u00a0<\/sup>October 2018 to 27th\u00a0<\/sup>October 2019)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n}

On top of running my photography business, you would most probably know about my other side of my photography from publishing photography articles, personal photography projects and photography news.<\/p>\n

Finally, I am able to make this announcement that I am appointed as an EOS World Community Ambassador 2018 from 27^{th\u00a0<\/sup>October 2018 to 27th\u00a0<\/sup>October 2019. I hope to give back and help out more, transferring my photography knowledge, reviews, news \u2026 etc etc from my photography, travel and food website\/blog into this EOS World community.<\/p>\n}

<\/a><\/p>\n

I would probably write a bit more detail on EOS World, their activities and events in another dedicated article on my photography, travel and food website\/blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, I would like to thank Canon Singapore for this appointment and recognition.<\/p>\n

Entered into a new eco-system of digital currency, marketplace <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

A most recent platform and eco-system was created, I got to know about it and after hearing about it, I decided to enter into this new eco-system of digital currency and marketplace.<\/p>\n

Since it is still very new, I am in the process of gathering more marketing materials and information in order for me to write an article to share with everybody and if you are keen, join in and be a part of this new eco-system!<\/p>\n

Keep pushing, striving, changing, adapting, innovating and learning<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have been consistently reading my updates and reflections articles, you would probably be hearing some old broken tape recorder repeating some same old messages\/topics again and again. Right now, if you are still reading the next few lines, I sincerely thank you for being one of my loyal readers and supporters (and hopefully not because you have to read my boring articles due to your job scope from a public relations\/agency role)<\/p>\n

There have been times when it was really discouraging, burnt out and looked down upon. I just keep on telling and encouraging myself to keep pushing, striving forward, changing, adapting, innovating and learning new knowledge and skills.<\/p>\n

Hard work, blood, sweat and tears injected over the past 10 years in my photography adventures (last year 2017 and this year 2018 for my photography business), slowly, bearing a bit more fruits of labour and return.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, the side businesses can be established successfully too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
