m-3

finally finalized my name card d
nothing much happen today
except during dinner
where,
we as a family sat down and have our meals together
me half way tru my dinner, dad just starting his, bro with his indomie -.-" despite there's rice and proper veggies and some chicken and finally mum makaning some durian
yes, we're a durian-eating family :D
what's missing was just my sister who's in KL now
we, as a family having our meals together at home doesn't happen that frequently
with me who's always having weird meals times or 80% of the time either not home or back in sg
my bro who's just growing up = out with friends = nv home
sis, who's now also seldom home
dad who's seldom home during dinner
and mum who tend to always skip dinner altogether

and that dinner
was one dinner i enjoyed :)
and oh, the tv was off too !
despite the other food wasn't really the type i like a lot
but still
that was one lovely meal
one that i miss
one that was a daily occasion back then
when mum will always nag and nag
and shout at the rest of us
to gather
to have our dinner together

now i know
now i understand
after countless lonely meals back in sg
home cooked food isn't the best without your family by your side
it is the laughter + a little nagging + a little teasing and the sound of those chews from your family
the smell of your family together
that made that meal a little more special

:)
i really do wish it happen more often




anyway,
2nd last part of m's series :)

continue final 5 or 6 pics tomorrow :)

m-2

okay...
2nd part of the magg shoot
i is hungry
so i shall just share the pics today aight XD

like i said
this time is totally different than the first time
while the first time i shot her, it was more of a cool cool tomboyish kinda type
this time round is more feminine, more emotive and funky i'd say :)
judge for me won't ya XD

and oh,
i love her
i meant f =P

ok
i go eat
bye bye
thanks for dropping by :)

m-1

wah..
dunno why always like this d
the internet connection to my room got problem again
damn du lan
now am using my bro's comp
whose internet connection is so sroooowwwwww i really don't know how he did stand up to all these waiting...

anyway.
got my glasses
and finished another shoot !

i asked maggie to come again last sunday to shoot one of my concepts, which would include lots of wind, hair-flowing stuff la
but she came looking like this

and i went :|
omigod, so formal
her hair so stiff also how to use wind blow la O.o
but since she was there
and i've been trigger itchy
we just went along with the flow
just like the other time
she was all cool and great as always :)
the shoot went on for some 2 hours plus
and in that much shorter time compared to her previous visit over my place,
i think we've achieved so much more this time
covering some 3 themes d
firstly of course since her hair is all formal
it'd be a bit more formal d
okay d
i is hungry
so i share pics k :)

oh yeah
after that
we no idea on the formalities alreadi
so she said if untie-ing her hair would be better
i imagine imagine
then ok d
asked her to change
and we got this

this time's shoot is kinda 180 deg total reverse with the other's time d
anyway
hungry
continue tomorrow d
bye ~

c + r final

okay...
let's talk about today,
lots of things didn't went as planned XD
firstly
woke up terribly late (ok, nobody woke me up) that i missed the morning temple visit i was supposed to go
woke up just in time to go lunch with f
but before that got a bit of time to go to the optical shop to go ask if my glasses were ready
and when they said
"2 days later" = "2 working days later"
see i made the glasses on the 26th,
aren't the 28th two days later ?
ok nvm about that
wanted to take my small camera to snap around my days
but was quite in a rush in the morning that i totally forgot bout it till when i was already in the car
had pizza for lunch
after that came home

what's the best thing to do to waste time ?
play games :D
time will travel so fast you won't freaking realise it !
so i came back home and hantam some game at the ps2

after that quickly bathe and went for dinner with my darling baby honey, f

oh yeah, supposed to go to the temple in the afternoon right
mum said today sure a lot of people
so go another day
may be shall go tomorrow d

back to the dinner
went to fountain with 10 other friends of f
whom most of them know me
but i dunno any of them.........that well.

then come back home and hantam some more games
lol

got an inspiration for a love-themed concept while listening to gareth gates just now
yes...
GARETH GATES
lol
how ?
i dunno
wait :D
will definitely make this image come true

oh yeah
another final thing to talk about today is....
i think those of you who had been following this blog for a while should know that ever since i got addicted to photography, i'd visit some other cities, on what i call "photography+work-road trip", and this time round,
i had been thinking since when i was in singapore
was thinking of saving $$ and go to KL again
at the same time can visit my sister
but then spent most of that $$ on new equipments for the 50d and other things XD
so cancel d
then no choice, have to follow the salesman again
their route were not that much of a choice,
sibolga (visited), aceh (visited also) and another city i forgot but, i haven't heard of anything landscapically beautiful about that city before so it's compeltely ruled out

my first choice was initially sibolga,
was not that 100% pleased with the results i got the first time i was there so wanna go there again
in addition, sibolga offers better and more beautiful views too
but then..................................
when i got back home here,
the salesman had just came back from sibolga
so no choice
this MONDAY........i MIGHT be following him to aceh again :D
this time round though,
will hopefully be able to travel further :)

okay la
enough rants

final post of c + r,
containing my most favs shots of the entire series :D :D :D

but
.
.
.
.
.
instead of losing some blood (thankfully nv) to the very sharp rusty looking stones (i know stones cannot rust one ok, they just look very rusty like that onli)
r lost her "just married" couple sandals instead
r has had hers in white while i think c's black
damn sad
i think one of the kids who'd follow us around everywhere we went must have snatched it while we weren't noticing
damn them
but kudos to the couple really
after losing r's sandals
they were still able to pose and smile lovingly
i guess,
the love they shared is far greater than such a lost
something they must've bought together
thinking that i'd be really shoot to have them worn around their house once they're married
touched me a bit





we went back to the first initial place of shooting to do some more scenes
and i
kept on snapping with the fisheye lens XD





then we moved to the other side of the beach we haven't explored yet
damn sad
this pic not sharp :(
they walked so fast
and the videographer kept following behind them
i shot like some 6 pics of this
and only 1 that i managed to get them in the frame without the videographer
and i screwed the focus up
:(





oh ya,
by now
i've finally changed my lens back to the sigma 30mm d





again kept snapping snapping
for this one
i've had rocks and stones behind me that i cannot really bend that low to get this kinda viewpoint
so i used the liveview function instead
thanks liveview :D
lol





and then we went for the final scene
the kissing scene
which was pretty damn long
lol
this was again shot with the liveview function
but then as i saw something moving in the frame
i don't care about bending down already
and went down
on my knees and elbows
to frame this





my fav shot of the entire series
:D :D :D
entitled
"lovebirds"




final pic !




hope u guys enjoyed viewing them
and i sincerealy wish the couple the bestest wedding
and may the love they share today last till the day they turn old and gray and that nothing will tear and break their love apart but grew stronger as these two individuals, two hearts, share a single soul

c + r part 4

aight,
today, went off as planned
went to look for my "wallpaper" cloth
dad's friends are coming over tomorrow to fixed the thing
bought one black cloth only first though
and had it stitched coz the widest they had were 1.4m and i wanted 3m wide
the stitching will be done tomorrow
so tomorrow might quite be a busy day

will have to :
go to the temple in the morning
have lunch with my darling baby f in the afternoon
go to another temple to pray again
fwah, very religious day tomorrow
then have to go collect my glasses
and finally have a farewell dinner with f and her current colleagues as she's moving off to work some where else

haven't been shooting for the past few days
getting the shutter withdrawals again d
hopefully tomorrow night will be productive enough i'd get a few sketches of a concept done for myself and my new glasses
+ an extension of a current concept i'm working for m
she'd be free this sunday so hopefully can begin shooting again this sunday, with the cloths all up i hope.

anyway,
gotta go sleep soon
2nd last part for c + r's series :)

and so,
we reached this place









and the videographer began directing and getting them to posed
the plan was that the both of the them should get wet in the beach
but somehow
they seemed pretty reluctant
XD
from what i know
the couple both are educated and live in australia
well, of course they'd be reluctant seeing the sea with that kinda color





so as they posed for the videographer
i began snapping off candidly again





this is the only shot that i had of either one of them looking directly at me d
lol





as they went off
i said,
eh careful for at the stones
scared sharp later not nice since they're not wearing any sandals





but
