Terima Kasih and Welcome!



Some of you might laughed... hard, when you first time heard the name. Some of you might frowned. Grinned. Ridicule maybe. "What da' heck of a name is that?!"


GREAT!


To say half would be exaggerating, but quarter at least, of the battle has just been won! :-) The very least I get out of the, well, you can say 'wacky' name, is, I managed to get a reaction even just a lil' bit from you! :-).. That's the battle of grabbing your attention ladies and gentlemen! ;-) And I've won and landed you here! Yeay!

Familiar? Why not, even as standard one pupils, we were already exposed to this 'pantun'. Among the most familiar, this 'pantun' describes that as someone new to something, if we are wrong, feel free to show us the right way. Humble attitude is one, and the willingness to learn and receive guidance from others are good values we should have in our everyday's life.


Noticed the 'cempedak' in the pantun? Why can't it be mempelam or mango, or rambutan? Hehehe.. Anyway, as long as i can remember, just looking at this fruit, will make me think about this pantun. Hehe. But hey! It's just me. But I really love the usage of 'cempedak' in a very well known pantun, that represents so many good values, especially for those who are seeking new knowledge.


With that, in the name of Allah the most Merciful and Graceful, I would like to present to you Cempedak Studio, my latest venture that involves enriching us with new knowledge. A place where we can learn new things. Practice what we have learnt too. And the best part of it, it's not just photography you can learn here, plenty of interesting subjects shall be lined up for you. From shooting videos to photo editing, from gubahan hantaran to pelamin decorating, you can learn from the industry experts at Cempedak Studio.


 The actual 'home' for Cempedak Studio is yet to be completed, but our virtual one is, well, you're looking at it. Hehehe... Not much still, but we would like to have the work ongoing and you can see the progress from day one. As soon as our new studio is ready, InsyaAllah we will announce on the opening event and hope to see you there!


Anyway, I'm really looking forward for your support. I'm new too to this kind of project. SO, being true to the pantun,....
