Back in 2006, Leighton Asia requested a manpower support to my previous company in Manila. The Leighton China State JV was in need of a Building Services Coordination Engineers (BSC Engineer) to do a detailed combined coordination installation drawings in Wynn Casino Resort Project in Macao SAR.

When I heard the news from one of the Manager in the office, I volunteer to be part of the team. I asked the President of the company that I want to be part and lead the team of CAD and BSC Engineer that will be send to Macao. I was so grateful he approved my request.

It is in Macao, I discovered my passion, learned and developed my skills in photography.

Macao is an Awesome Experienced .

Since Hong Kong is so accessible from Macao, in most occasion I spent the weekend there and meet my Peng Millan. The normal business is to visit a camera store in Stanley Street or do a photowalkaton w/ some friends.

Btw, Millan and I will never leave Hong Kong without visiting the Fat Angelo’s Italian Restaurant in Soho and Lan kwai Fong to taste their AWESOME PIZZA.

In some event I joined Master O or EB on their visit to the Outlaying Islands

When the Wynn Encore Project has been completed in April 2010, most of us were sent back to Manila. Leighton has no Job to Offer in Macao then.

Before I left Macao, the Macao Magazine called me and offered me to be the official photographer of the Macao Magazine in the Shanghai World Expo 2010. After a few days of stay in the Philippines, I went to Shanghai and spent a week there to accomplished my Assignment.

After I left Aomen ( Macau) in 2010, I took a job in Doha Qatar in a Catering Facility Project in the New Doha International Airport as a Sr. Testing & Commissioning Engineer.

Here, I met peng Peng Mike and his family. He is a long time contact in flickr. He and his family gave me a warm welcome when I came in Doha in late 2010. Currently he is now my shooting buddy. Shukran Peng Mike for the hospitality.

In more than a year of living in Qatar, I learned and experienced that it is strict here when it comes to Photography. People are conservative, it is because of the culture and religion, but I do respect it.

Bit by bit I'm collecting a record in Doha
