This performance carries a purpose beyond the stage: to help secure lunch funding for 120 people through Yayasan Chow Kit’s Lunch Meals Programme. Through A Beautiful Home, we hope to turn an evening of art and connection into something simple but essential — 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐥, 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐭.

Three Days in Chow Kit — 𝐀 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞

For three days, we built a home in the heart of Chow Kit.

Not a home made only of walls,
but one made of people.

A bunch of good friends, each carrying struggles of their own — falling, reaching, holding on, and learning to stand beside one another.

Sometimes we carry each other.
Sometimes we simply stay.
Sometimes love is knowing that someone will reach out when you no longer have the strength to reach back.

Within this fragile little home, we found friendship, courage, love and the quiet strength of being together.

And through every struggle, we kept reaching —
towards one another,
towards the light,
towards hope.

𝐀 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝.

A real world comparison between the OPPO Find X9 Ultra and the Hasselblad X2D 100C II. The Hasselblad’s sensor renders some of the most accurate colours I’ve seen and at almost 5.5x times smaller, the 1 ½ inch sensor on the Oppo is quite similar in all but the hardest conditions.

The photos here are straight out of camera with no tweaks to colour. I only slightly adjusted exposure and slight crops to make both images somewhat identical. When it comes to architecture/landscapes, they are extremely similar. Colours are slightly deeper and richer on the Hasselblad but the Find X9 Ultra looks nicer overall when it comes to portraiture with it leaning slightly warmer and saturated. However, the Hasselblad is closer to real life but both render skin tones really well. Both are excellent cameras for portraits.

Yes there are more minute details to nitpick but I personally shot with the Find X9 Ultra than with the Hasselblad. Having an ultrawide lens up to a 10x zoom on the phone makes getting a variety of shots much easier than needing to change lenses.

They are both equally enjoyable to shoot with and I am pleasantly surprised by how well the Find X9 Ultra holds up in comparison to the X2D 100C II.

From speeding bikes to extravagant shows, chasing thunderstorms to the mundane everyday. Still super impressed with how the OPPO Find X9 Ultra took all of these photos.

I wanted to force myself to shoot everything using the Hasselblad Master Mode, which was essentially being able to manually adjust all your settings just like on a normal camera. For me, being able to decide how the image is captured e is just as important as the photo itself.

I’m particularly proud of being able to capture the lighting completely on manual. 300+ photos and probably 2 of them had lighting in them.

Something I’ve found is that the noise at ISO 800 is quite pleasing, giving it a sort of texture without ruining the photo. Master Mode on the phone has a softer image right out of camera making the photo more camera-like.

Definitely some of my favourite travel moments I’ve taken in awhile!

Portraits of China on the OPPO Find X9 Ultra.

Where the phone really shines is capturing portraits. I really love the way skin tones are captured, the subtle fall off of the bokeh as well as being able to capture a lot of details with the Hasselblad 200MP mode. I usually prefer shooting with portrait mode for the bokeh but something interesting I’ve found with the Find X9 Ultra is that its 1/1.12 inch sensor for the 200mp mode has more than enough bokeh for portraiture.

An added feature I don’t see many people talking about is the skin retouching feature. It’s actually really really good and looks really natural. I used it quite a bit together with the 200mp as you do capture way more detail and sometimes that means emphasizing the unflattering parts too.

Stills from exploring Chongqing and Chengdu with the new @OPPOMALAYSIA Find X9 Ultra. Photographing China was such a rich experience and I really wished it was longer.

After taking over 20000 photos, the Find X9 Ultra has genuinely impressed me. In particular, Master Mode and the new Hasselblad 50MP 10x Optical Telephoto really surprised me the most. Master mode bypasses a lot of the “smartphone” look, providing soft and camera like images especially in the skin tones. I found myself using the 10x the most because it helps with cleaner compositions.

The fun part will actually be comparing it to a Hasselblad X2D II.

The RM60,000 Hasselblad X2D II and the RM6,799 #OPPOFindX9Ultra. When photographer Sam put them side-by-side, the results challenged everything we know about mobile imaging.

It all comes down to the soul of the shot: the color. The OPPO Find X9 Ultra delivers skin tones and focus fall-off so authentic that the output feels similar to the Hasselblad X2D II. By utilizing the Hasselblad Master Mode on Find X9 Ultra, the phone produces images that are incredibly similar to a camera, bypassing the typical ”smartphone look“ for something deep, organic, and truly professional.

The OPPO Find X9 Ultra Earth Explorer Kit completes this transformation, featuring a casing with a physical shutter button to engage auto-focus and a 67mm filter adapter. This allows you to stack your own professional polarizers or ND filters, so you aren‘t just holding a phone, you’re wielding a professional rig.

Experience the legendary Hasselblad look, no longer exclusive to the studio but now in the palm of your hand.

The Canon EOS RP is quite affordable compared to other full-frame photography cameras, also contains incredibly compact and lightweight body, excellent Dual Pixel CMOS AF for sharp focus, user-friendly vari-angle touchscreen, great low-light performance and robust connectivity (Wi-Fi, USB-C charging) for ease of use, making it ideal for beginners and travel, despite its basic 4K video and slower burst speeds.

throwback to our last shoot of 2025 and first shoot of 2026 — pics shot for @mcdonaldsmalaysia at the Golden Prosperity Launch on new year’s eve.

somehow we blinked and we’re already midway through March (!! 🫣) in hindsight, i think there’s something metaphorical in starting a new year the same way you end another. there are moments that hold two things together. and between getting to watch the curtains close on 2025 and seeing the first signs of whatever 2026 was about to bring, we’ve been so blessed that so much of last year has been instrumental in emboldening us for this year.

can’t believe Way Studios will be turning 3 this year! while there’s much stretching still to be done, we are lucky to be here for all of it.

thanks to our team of friends who rung in the new year with us for this one @jemsen96 @shawnleebeatbox @drewlululu @breadboyshaun!

Yesterday, I hosted a dinner at my home with creatives who have worked together with my company, Stories, through the years, whether on a full-time, part-time or freelance basis. It’s crazy to think that the people represented here are probably just 30-40% of the total number of people I have worked with!

One of the challenges in business is picking who to work with and then maintaining that relationship. It seems obvious to say this, but no two persons are alike. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, but the one thing that brings us together is not just the type of work itself but the shared values we hold and the agreement to be in alignment despite our differences.

It’s about choosing to listen to each other’s viewpoint and then giving weight and honour to it.

It’s about not holding onto your own perspective so tightly that you end up being too self-absorbed.

I am thankful for everyone who has ever said yes to doing meaningful work together at Stories. Alone, I can only go so far, but together, we find energy and momentum to move us forward.
