Wee Ping and Thuan Hock

16 January, 2009 | wedding | No comments

Both Wee Ping and Thuan Hock are rather shy people. Instead of kissing at the end of their solemnisation, they hugged.

I must say it did throw me a curved ball. Didn’t expect that to happen at all.

Their wedding was steeped in chinese tradition. Lots of play with chinese characters and wordings. I am not very good at that and was really surprised to see what they came up with. Their relatives are a creative lot.

Unlike the usual wedding, where the emphasis is the bride and groom, theirs is more of a group thing. Everyone really participated.

I rather enjoyed the change.

The perfect companion

9 December, 2008 | wedding | No comments

Just the perfect companion when you are planning a wedding………..

Take notes, jot down ideas, diagrams, layout etc.

Even write a poem while you are waiting.

perfect-companion

This beautiful and rugged notepad is yours when you make your bookings for wedding packages from today till end of March 2009.  Everyone gets one :D and you really deserve one , because  wedding takes a lot of planning. Its very handy, fits into the smallest handbag too.

When you are working on paper, your ideas just flow. It just does NOT quite work out the same way with electronic gadgets.

You gotta try it !

Sophia and Hung Hiang

7 November, 2008 | wedding | No comments

I have not met a couple whose life is more God centered than these 2.

Every time we go out, we ( wedding photographers ) touch peoples’ life with our work.
Occasionally they touch ours.Guys………..I am impressed. Hmmm….it does makes me ponder about my life.

Both of them have large extended family and large group of friends too.
I couldn’t recall any couple who managed to fill the entire church for their wedding like Sophia and Hung Hiang . In fact, I noticed there were shortage of places to sit.

Maybe because they made special arrangement for me so that I can move around the church easily.
;D. Its the coolest thing. I feel sooooo special. I wish other couples would that too. Thanks guys.

Yes, I really enjoy church weddings. In fact, I enjoyed it so much I think I will start a series of photos just on church weddings !

Final Cut

2 November, 2008 | Some Crazy stuff | No comments

In the movie “Final Cut”, Robin Williams was a cutter, a movie editor of sort.
He edits movies of peoples’ lives. The movie was made with a special camera.
This camera was stored in a person’s brain and records everything he does ( even those he doesn’t want recorded ) from the first person perspective. YES, it’s very cool.

As a cutter ( in the movie ) Robin uses a very special powerful computer made of wood.
Made out of wood….not of wood.

Anyway, it looks really cool. Even the keyboard is of royal oak material.
And, here…………..we have ASUS ( commonly known as third party notebook maker, they make notebook for brands like DELL, HP, etc ) making a similar notebook.
Only this time, its real, not just in the movie.

For the lady photographer

23 October, 2008 | Uncategorized | No comments

Nowadays everyone is trying to market to the ladies.See those mobile phones or laptop computer coming out in pink colours ?
They thought by simply adding pink, they will entice the ladies.

 

But this camera bag maker has gone one better, its designed like a ladies handbag.Absolutely wonderful.

Anthea and YongKee

9 October, 2008 | wedding | No comments

Theirs is a classic love story that feels like it just dropped out from the old chinese romance novels.
Anthea and Yongkee are cousins who used to play together as children.
As time goes by, they moved to different schools and their families moved out to different neighbourhood. So by and by, they drifted apart and soon there were exams to study and test to take, camps to go etc. There were boys activities and girls things to do, they no longer take interest in one another. They soon forgotten about each other.

Suddenly they were all grown up and became working adults.
One fine day, they met again at a relatives outing.
Yongkee could barely recognise how beautiful Anthea has grown up to be.
It was the discovery of his life !
Soon they were reunited and one thing lead to another…………..and today, they became man and wife.
