5th sept….a day to be happy about!

•September 6, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Been busy and lazy for the past few mths….taking less photos or rather “normal” pictures which I had no motivation to put up!

Today im feeling good write up a little.

Been planning the date with my good friend whom I honestly never thought would be a good friend to me until lately we had lots of contact and gaming together.

Went shopping took some pics at the mall before meeting my friend.

The place i had my dinner

The place i had my lunch

 
Had a very wierd idea to take this photo. The subject was nothing special but i bet u are unable to tell what is it :P

Supposed to be meeting at 2pm, the guy came at 3pm damn and he had to eat before we could embark on our journey of phototaking! doh!
 
Setting foot on marina barrage, all the images of this place i had seen sets into my head. Randomly playing like shuffle was on but I it seems the photos i took were totally of a different style.

Have i developed my own style?

Driving 15mins to fullerton. Took a wrong turn ending up having to go through the ERP!
Instead Bin suggested to turn left and look for a parking and hell yea we did just that to avoid paying $2 to ERP!
 
$3 for a parking was worth it because walking towards our final destination came some nice views!
 
Reaching the busiest streets in singapore where the major banks are, we started taking photos.

10th june….Unusual wednesday

•June 11, 2009 • 2 Comments

Skipping the first initial mornings. It was boring usual shitty work. Kept me busy like a bee.

But i took half day today……reason? Watching land of the losttt….lost…losttt….lostt…..

Won a pair of preview movie from 883jiafm for the 7.20pm show. Go listen to radio more to know what you can win hehe

 

 Anyways as usual im gona skip some unimportant details.

*P.S* Why is this wednesday unusual? I have no idea why but i spent money like water tap going.

Arrived at one of the petrol kiosk  to top up my petrol which is a norm. Werid thing is I went to queue up for the 4d and toto which i dont usually do. What made it worse was my wife took a $5 scratch it card and i said go ahead buy it i will pay.

Freaking hell i wasted the $5 on scratch it but i wasnt pissed. i told my wife go get another 2 of those cards. ill pay. omg and again it was scratched lol. Wierd thing was i dont feel my heart aching which i usually do haha.

Okay met my friend glenny my hubby at sim lim. look around for a laptop which was unavail at the moment. Meet forza at his shop to get him to recommend the lappy.

1hr of walk about with nothing in the basket, we went to Orient photo! wooo. wanted to buy some lens. now im considering if i should get a good lens or a cheapskate one. Maybe u guys can decide for me base on the photos u have seen. I should post more of those on the wedding i did but i am hoping to sell them to the couple for some cheap thrill dollar lol. SO till they decided to buy it, i shall post :P

OK bought penelope AA batteries x 8 so i wont have to worry for my flash battery. YES it went kaput when it was around 4pm during my 2nd wedding  day shoot. shots done mostly with available lighthing.

Left for orchard and hit straight to boarders.

Could have been better but angle and lens permitted....

Could have been better but angle and lens permitted....

Looking for this 2 books from michael freeman. Wana learn whats called perfect exposure. Saw the book at pageone pricy $60.90 which i gave a miss.

Saw it at boarders parkway $29.90 CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? half the price. It was the last copy and pretty slammed thats why i went to the one at orchard.

Caught this book Photographer’s eye by michael freeman as well! $29.90 WOo i was thinking to buy 2 books.

FUK that was the USD$ price…….. lol so i put the 2 books back to the shelf after much serious reading since i have no idea whats he talking about except i see photos that i loved to do very much.

OK. feelling pretty pissed i never get to spend money on books. I left for far east.
Wife says u can get alot of nice shots while on the way there! many things to take photo of!

does this look like a postcard?

does this look like a postcard?

She lied. walk and walk and walk nothing to take till we climb up the bridge to cross to far east…
one of the cars jammed his brakes while i was taking a picture

one of the cars jammed his brakes while i was taking a picture nothing much to talk about... nothing much to say.... i was just feeling damn sian because i wasnt feeling very well after eating some fried curry chicken cheese thing.What made it worse was seeing this.I dont like M1

But than… something else made up for my very uncomfortable stomache which made a smile
yea u usually take a straight shot at this. im not u! i play with shadows :)

yea u usually take a straight shot at this. im not u! i play with shadows :)

hmm did they shift stance?

ok from the opposite i had a shot which i took i think about a mth ago... but did they shifted their stance? hm.....

 Before we walked towards boarders, i already planned a shot for this while standing opposite which was our way back. i feel as if im like a robot. everything goes as planned. at least this plan works out great i believe.

My say. good laughs. 4.5 / 5 for comedy. Though i must really really say the volcano is really terrribly done. SMOKES ARE NOT MOVING AT ALL. MY GOD AND THEY DID NOT NOTICE? or maybe it was delibrate lol.  

7th june! Wedding made beautiful

•June 8, 2009 • 2 Comments
Arrived at one of the most beautiful restaurant I have ever seen in singapore. Yea im a geek and have not idea where is this. gaming is my life. NOT ANYMORE (I hope).  Im placing my bets on most of you have no idea where this place is.

DAMN I WISH I HAD THE SLK200!

Guess whos the one giving me that cute smile? None other than the makeup artist himself!

Cute smile :)

Cute smile :)

Gosh I am feeling panicky on my 2nd experience as a wedding photographer (one thats not required actually haha). I wonder what I am able to produce today.

Got to look at some paintings while on my way up… hmmm this place is full of paintings.

 

Yes so colourful!

Yes so colourful!

Into the room. Clean shot of the cosmetics. colorful palette. Well. fresh for me to see a guy doing makeup. haha told you im a geek.

Wonder how much it cost to buy this

Bear with me im a new blogger and my language skills are sub par… But im in the process of presenting to you yet another pretty bride you dont get to see all the time! Not unless your job is in line with weddings.

Anyways before you look at the pretty bride lets see check out the groom slacking around and talking to Albert. Yea the guy who inspired me when I first saw his pictures after  my cousin’s wedding. U all will get to see a pic of him later *grin*

He does look mature but isnt that what girls go for?

He does look mature but isnt that what girls go for?

Let your imaginations run man.  This guy’s sure one lucky groom.  I believe I have already hinted.

The opposite sex loves mature looking man with no exception especially of the pretty ones! What adds on to the catch is that this guy is prolly the dream of most girls because they can be taitais :P

Feminine not old in fact very pretty

Pretty bride in the making :)

While waiting for the bridge to finish her makeup…. I went around to take some setup of the area.
Very unique setup just enough for a mini crowd of close friends and relatives. Of course alot of fun too! Well a boy fell into the “pond” while playing during the night. Saving it for later lol.

Memory is failing me. I cant remember exactly did they cut the cake first or had fun laughing.
Anyway judging by the looks of the groom. Hes a professional ya? I shall not reveal whats his profession cus i have no freaking any idea either lol.
But what happened at the later part of the night greatly astonish me. I think the groom was totally caught off guard as well.
