People 2012 (43) - Halloween

Halloween is a yearly holiday observed around the world on Oct 31. Mostly believe that it originate from the Western European harvest festivals and festival of the dead.

But more recently, this has just became another season of the year for party-goers to dress up and have a jolly time.

People 2012 (42) - Train Master

My first trip to Japan Tokyo. The people there are generally very nice and good-looking. The train master at the airport was so focused on his job that he was totally unfazed by me standing just besides him snapping away. Commitment 100%.

People 2012 (41) - Security

Met this security man outside a certain building and his smile attracted me. Usually security personnel are not friendly, probably they have to maintain a level of security that people will not mistake as weakness. So when you meet a friendly security man, it’s quite impossible not to be drawn.

“Security represents your sense of worth, your identity, your emotional anchorage, your self-esteem, your basic personal strength or lack of it.” Stephen R. Covey

People 2012 (40) - Janitor

I am extremely proud and happy to meet people who are not ashamed of their profession, regardless of what they do. It’s that sense of responsibility and honour that is quite lacking in the younger generation.

“We learned about gratitude and humility, that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean…and we were taught to value everyone’s contribution and treat everyone with respect.” Michelle Obama
