Japan 2016

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Thu, 20 Apr 2017 23:57:00 +0000

Going to Japan has become a routine for me ever since I met my 'Kazoku' ( In japanese meaning Family ) This year we went on many road trips to see different parts of Japan. As you all know I really love travelling. It is definitely a way for me to relax and to enjoy the different scenery and cultures. If you have not been to Japan then I highly recommended it the people are so nice and friendly and there are just so many things you can do. Below you will see some photos I've taken in Osaka, Bamboo Forest ( Arashiyama ) , Kyoto Port, and etc If you have any questions please feel free to add comment or email me.

Last day of long weekend

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Sun, 27 Apr 2014 08:36:00 +0000

Hello!

It has been quiet sometime since I last blogged. I've been meaning to do it but just haven't got around to doing it yet. I sincerely apologize for the wait!

Life has been so busy, especially after starting my first full time job, things have change I look forward to Friday night, the weekend and all sorts of public holidays. Before it didn't really matter because I was a contractor and I could take breaks in between now and then. Now everything has really changed.

2014 has been a great year so far. I've met so many awesome people and passing probation was probably the happiest thing that happened to me this year, all the stress and hard work has finally paid off. Now I'll just have to wait for the next chapter of my life.

Below are some of the photos I took this year. Some using my brand new camera Fuji x100s !! I finally got it! So Happy!

Hello Paris! I'm Back

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Wed, 01 Jan 2014 14:16:00 +0000

In 2013 I got to visit Paris again. I've always love Paris, everything about the city is remarkably fascinating and of course one of the reason why I'm here was to go shopping again. I can't resist purchasing Prada and LV. They are so much cheaper there than they are back in Sydney.

Apart from shopping I also like to take sometime off for a little wonder around the city, looking at the their beautiful scenery and the city as a whole. Below are some photographs I took from the tallest tower in Paris 'Montparnasse'.

Melbourne Cup Luncheon 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Tue, 19 Nov 2013 11:47:00 +0000

On the same day as the Buunji Conference I was assigned to go to another venue to capture the Melbourne cup Luncheon at Dock side it was a completely different atmosphere, everyone was all dressed up ready for this special day. Where people bet on their favourite horses hoping to won some sort of money in return.

I must say that I love the decoration of the room especially the table setting with the horses lamp at the center it really accentuate the whole meaning behind the theme.

Below are some of the photos I took from this event.

Buunji 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Fri, 15 Nov 2013 13:51:00 +0000

I was one of the assigned photographers for the Buunji 3 days conference that took place at the Sydney Convention Center. This may possibly be the last time I get to photograph in this area. The building would be removed by the end of this year. It's sad in a way that it would cover the view from my house (I live literally 5 mins away from here) this means that I can no longer see the fireworks! :( but it's good that they are building something bigger and better for our community.

The Buunji Conference was amazing esp the Gala Dinner, the events company that I work for has done an brilliant job! So proud of them! Honestly, we have been preparing for this event for quiet some time now. I got to work on some of the designs for their signs, banners, you name it! I got to even work behind the registration desk. So finding the guest name and giving them their programs bags. Which was fun!

If your still wondering what the conference is all about, make sure you visit their website, which was also designed by one of my colleagues Martin - Here is the link Buunji.com.au

Happy 5th Birthday Aurelie

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Wed, 13 Nov 2013 06:07:00 +0000

Aurelie had her 5th birthday recently. It took place at Mc Donald's where she invited her friends from pre-school and ballet classes. She had an amazing time dancing to her favourite songs, playing on the slides and etc. There was definitely less work for my sister in terms of gifts and decorating the area as it was all covered by Mc Donalds. Hence if you're ever thinking of a place to celebrate your child's birthday I suggest you to have it at Mc D.

At Darling Harbour

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 10:22:00 +0000

This week I have been busy photographing 2 events one is for the Melbourne cup Luncheon and the other is for the Buunji conference that goes on for a about 4 days. I got to finish it early today, So I thought why not hang out with one of my niece ' Natalie'. It was a great day out. I've definitely been missing out on the nice weather and lunch, and this is a nice day to catch up for it all.

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Sun, 21 Jul 2013 18:28:00 +0000

My niece Ainsley just had her first birthday party. Isn't she so Adorable? The party was held at my apartment ( The BBQ Area) my sister cooked all the Indonesian Food, while me and my friend did the desserts and decorating the area with beautiful balloons and banners :)

Primary School Reunion

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Sun, 21 Jul 2013 15:46:00 +0000

Ever since we've graduated from Primary School. We haven't seen each other. So it has been almost 10 years that we've finally had a reunion. It felt really good to see them again. Surprisingly nothing has changed, so many cool memories that we've had together in the past. And I think we should do this more often. Here is a Group Photo my friend took :)

Quality Family Time

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 15:20:00 +0000

The other day my sister ask me to photographed two of her most beautiful daughters Aurelie and Ainsley. I decided to take a few candid shots of them and here are the results :) Hope you like them.

Bangkok - Pattaya - Chonburi - Laos Thailand

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Mon, 27 May 2013 14:44:00 +0000

Super lucky to have wonderful parents who've loved me so much and cared for me since the day I was born. and yes you guess it, they took me on a trip to Thailand and Laos. I've been travelling so much this year that I couldn't keep count. So I really thank them for giving me this opportunity to see more of the world.

What is Thailand like? if you ask me for my honest opinion it's amazing this must be the 3rd time I've been there and I'm still not sick of it. ( of course I'll show you all the photos I took ) didn't take much this time, please excuse me as I was too busy shopping and buying things for myself and gifts for friends and families. ( I did take a lot with my Iphone though :) )

As for Laos, the food is super yummy, but it's not the type of place where you could stay for very long. It's a small and poor country, it's sad to see a majority of their citizens struggling to live. but it's a really good experience to see their culture. one word that I've learn in Laos was kop chai meaning thank you and Sabaidee meaning hello. Slightly different to Thai.

Puncak - Indonesia

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Sat, 26 Jan 2013 04:31:00 +0000

I'm so glad to start of the year by travelling back to my home county Jakarta Indonesia. However it wasn't what I've expected it to be, Jakarta has been flooding severely, the citizens live in hunger, lost of home as well as sickness. I was lucky enough to live in the apartment, although there was flood in my area I wasn't affected by it much. Except for the lack of food, we had to cook with what was left in our fridge, as there was no delivery in our area.

The rain has been going on non stop for the last couple of weeks to avoid the risk of being locked at home again. My family has decided to fled out to the mountains area, where there wasn't any flood there

Here are some on the photos I took !! The view is breathtaking! Would love to return here again someday.

First of all I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New year. Thank you for all your support and words of encouragements. I'm glad that the world didn't end in 2012 so I could continue blogging my journey from today onwards.

I know that I set a lot of goals for myself at the beginning of this year. I didn't end up achieving most of it. But this year is going to be different, I will set a different expectations for myself, and find ways to achieve it. One of them being opening my own business! Freelance all the way ! :)

To start of the year. I will show you some photos that I took at the end of last year. Hope you will like them as much as I do. Took these in half an hour because it was so cold and windy that we had to leave the park. Will definitely do more of these this year!

Michelle Phan in Sydney

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 11:43:00 +0000

I was lucky enough to meet michelle phan in Sydney, I really admire her, she inspires me in so many ways. She is down to earth and a real entrepenuer. After meeting her, I believe that anything can happen as long as you don't give up. It's her personality and talent that rises her to fame. If you are persistent at what you do then I believe that your one step closer towards achieving your dreams. Good luck everyone!

My Niece Natalie

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:04:00 +0000

My brother and sister in law ask me to take photo of their daughter 'Natalie', just so that they could use it as her passport photo! oh isn't it difficult to photograph kids standing still!, I guess they like to run around and play! So it was definitely challenging, but I love the result of these photos! Thankfully I could capture them within two mins, just before she starts crying again!

Short Video

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 16:08:00 +0000

I didn't get to take much video footages, considering that I had no tripod with me on that day, but here is a super mini video clip that all of you must see! Maybe you will get a better idea of what vivid light sydney is all about :)

Vivid Sydney 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 15:08:00 +0000

This year's lighting at Vivid Sydney is remarkable! They should've held it for more than 2 weeks! especially when the weather has been dreadful. I have to say these artist are amazing! everything there are very fun, interactive and suitable for audience of all ages. Oh and this is why I could not stop taking photos there, I wish I had my tripod that day, could've spend more time videographing and taking splendid photos!

So Cute!

Isn't this dog so cute and adorable?

Private Pool

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Mon, 21 May 2012 13:45:00 +0000

The other day, I had a pre-wedding shoot with my work mates Joan and Ken. Ken took me to this private pool at Double Bay. I never knew that it was so beautiful, until I actually went there. The place is actually called Red Leaf Pool, Where the Woollahra Municipal council is located. If you are looking for a new place to swim, then this is the place that you you're looking for.

Proffesional collaboration

noreply@blogger.com (Michelle Rusli) — Wed, 02 May 2012 14:55:00 +0000

My deepest apology for not blogging for more than a month. I've been very very busy and I know that I should've at least blog something.

Well, to make up for it I will show you one of my latest creations. Are you ready to see it?
I've collaborated with the people at work as well as with proffesional models and make up artist and this is what we came up with. A cool documentary of their make up process and a video and photo of the final results.

Recently I've been in love with cinematography and editing them. If you see the potential in me I would keep creating more videos and eventually make it bigger and better.
