小美

I can't remember the last drama serial i was hooked on.

Seriously.

No time. NO TIME!

No patience as well. Hahahaha!

But ever since i saw 小美 on 无间有爱 that mum watches on CableTV on weekends ... heeheehee!

The last time i caught anything he was in, was that Rainie Yang 换换爱.

In  无间有爱, he's just the COOLEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and lookie here! 
In Rainie's MV from many years ago!


And in one of my fav. fav. FAVOURITE K-songs!!!



OMG he is DAMN CUTE ^^

*falls into boy-crazy, schoolgirl mode.

Wedding-Related: Photography

Our search for actual day photographers started... a couple of months ago.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A picture is worth a thousand words.

We've all heard that before haven't we?

While the Boy and i both agreed we wanted to have a good set of photos to keep, we were definitely not going to pay through our noses for it.

We shouldn't have to anyways!

Not as long as we did our homework early =P

Also, i think it helps that we both agreed on what we wanted (or not wanted), i.e. photos in digital formats over hardcopy (physical) albums, a casual (no need to dress OTT!!!) engagement shoot, no extravagant overseas shoots (what?! i rather spend all that money on a good trip with my dear!)...

So.

We started research on photographers first by getting recommendations from and contacts of people we knew.

We viewed and re-viewed heaps of online galleries including:

--- chrisppics.com

--- darrenf.com

--- huefusion.com

--- mindytan.com

--- montagestudios.com.sg

--- simonvideo.com.sg

We got quotations from those we felt had the kind of photos we wanted, and pored over them for weeks, making comparisons and working out our budgets.

It's all very exciting really.

We must have read through hundreds of forum reviews on photographers used by other couples, and spend many nights online viewing those photo galleries.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For our Civil Marriage Ceremony (ROM in Singapore on Nov 22, 2010), we asked for AJ to join us @ the ROM office to take pictures.

She agreed to.

Even though it meant taking time off from her full-time work.

For that, WE ARE TRULY APPRECIATIVE AND GRATEFUL!!!

AJ also helped us out on an Engagement/Pre-wedding Photoshoot here in Singapore =)

It was all very casual and fun!

We decided on a day (Nov 13, 2010), picked out a few spots where we wanted to take piccies at(Esplanade, T2 / T3, the Library...), and then went about shooting piccies!

And because AJ's a friend, it made things so much easier (imho at least).

We didn't have a fixed time to keep to.

We could just go with the flow, making decisions on places to head to and props we came across...

At the end of the day, tired as we were, the Boy and i decided it had been a really, really fun Saturday out with her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As of today, we've confirmed Darren (of darrenf.com) as our main photographer for the big day here in Singapore.

Pending now:

--- a Pre-wedding Photoshoot in Malaysia (once we confirm a Bridal Studio to sign with).

--- a second photographer for Nov 12.

--- a photographer for the events happening over in Malaysia on Nov 20.

What's next?

*Will post a couple of Pre-wed and ROM photos when i get them in the next week or two.

there's NOTHING you can't find on youtube :)

can't sleep.

for some reason, i suddenly thought of all the beautiful music we ever played yearsss (like... YEARSSSSssssss!!!) ago.

and so......

~ AFRICAN SYMPHONY. Van McCoy ~

~ THE LIGHT ETERNAL. James Swearingen ~

One of my absolute fav.s

Mainly because the flute solo is one of the most touching bits to a piece i've ever heard.

James Swearingen writes some of the most beautiful music! Fantastic!!!

~ OREGON. Jacob de Haan ~

Falls in love with the French Horn.

then there were the drills and formations that came with being in a Military Band...
those were some of the best days of my (sec. sch.) life...
*sigh.

check out the SYF 2010 Central Judging performances!

BRILLIANT!!

I've said it before, i'll say it again "my kid(s) must pick up an instrument!!!"
=PPP 

light at the end of the tunnel......

Three days till i get home...

Two more days of work here...

One more exhibition to attend to...

My last work trip for 2010.

FINALLY!

It's been a long, lllllllllllooooooonnnnggggg year.

I'm looking forward to just BEING HOME with the loved ones.

思念

*cue fat tears rolling down fat cheeks...

bad day.
crappy mood.
feeling absolutely blue.
:(((

One less...

i will miss coming into the office and LOL-ing with her over the fact i almost wore the near-similar top to the office that morning.
i will miss cabbing it home to the West with her after yet another night of OT-ing.
i will miss the bright, cheerful smiles she's always generous with.
i will miss a lunch (and occassional BBT) kaki.
i will miss sharing with a girlfriend.
i will miss her.
period.
:(((
all the same, i AM happy she is able to move on to bigger, better things.
lots of love YL.

i dread the day i become pregnant and have to take the trains here.

the people here are just ungracious!

yea i know not everyone is.

but like 90% maybe?

argh!!!

中了！

"中了..."
"中了?!?!?!!!"

it's not what you think.
*roll eyes.

what the......!!!

this is ridiculous.
very annoying really.
first someone took my new bottle of vegemite from the panty.
hello? it's vegemite!!! a new bottle. wtf.
next, someone conveniently borrowed my big brolly while i was on leave and failed to return it.
my.big.brolly. mine. weiii, it's rainy season now. i need my brolly too you know? wtf.
then, my stationery goes missing from my desk. scissors, ruler, red pens (a rare commodity in our office!!!)......
i love my pretty stationeries. some i buy 'em myself. the expensive kind, not the Popular bookshop kind. and some of these come with my name [sticker] on it! WTF!
