Testimonial 2

Today we received comments from Martyn and Diana whom shot in June 08.... wwooooweeee... :o)

Hi Alex,
Thanks for delivering the wedding photos to us. We are very happy with it. You are Wu really capture the moment(s). Even for the usual boring table by table photos don't look that boring with both your artistic touch. Really like those that capture the expression(s).
Will recommend you guys to our family are friends when they get married.
Yeahhh!!! kekeke....

Side track abit...
I met one couple recently. We chit chat for a while and then i told the gal that i am actually married. Can see she is quite shocked to hear that. She thought i am still single and maybe can introduce some of her jie meissss to me on her actual day...wahahahaha. When i told her got one kid liao, she even more shocked. I told her one more coming ANYTIME now.... i think her jaw nearly dropped...wahahahaha. Before we left, i told her she can still introduce her jie meissss to me one ma..."wink wink"... wahahaha.... ok what... friend only ma...wahahahaha. This month alone i got two offer already (the other one is a colleague from another department). People wanna introduce gals to me. They must be thinking me no life, still single, still young . Anyway, i still pester the colleague to introduce the gal to me (curious ma)... ...HAHAHAHA.. i very friendly one, no harm know more friends what...kekeke....

Mei Siew, if u are reading this hor... remember hor, November hor... dun forget to intro ah...kekeke.

Testimonial

I must post this here. I think this is the first ever proper testimonial for Depixel. wooo hoooo....


Having always loathed being photographed, we are very happy with the outcome of our solemnisation photos! Weloved the way our photos were relaxed and natural as we dislike overlyposed pictures. Alex and Wu have a special flair in capturing some ofthe emotions and activities that can be easily missed during oursolemnisation ceremony. The end result was beyond our expectations andthese photos are a beautiful reminder to an event that binds the 2 ofus together, for life.
~ Khet and Shuhui ~


Waaaah...shiok. hee hee. Sooo Khet & Shuhui, are u looking at pre-wedding shots any time soon? hahaha...But seriously, we enjoyed the short "pre-wedding" shoot at the CVH pool level. Cool! Both of u are just so natural about it. Make the shoot easy also.

And then, we received another short and sweet note from another couple...


We are please with your and wu's work. They are really nice!Good job!
~ Jason & Maggie ~


All i wanna say is Thank you for all these notes to assure me and Wu. It meant alot to us and keep us going. Thanks!

ok i have to get back to those piles of outstanding photos already... June couple, hang in there. I am trying my best. Finishing soon. :P

Slideshow

I know nuts about html language, flash, web design..basically anything to do with updating our Depixel website. I know nothing.


So recently i decided to learn how to do my own updating and learn how best to showcase more of our work. I had a crashed course one night through msn. First time i am accessing my web domain or hosting or whatever u call it. Feel kinda nervous because i'm scare that i messed up our Depixel website and it will be gone.


After a few hours of reading my own and some coaching from Dazza, i finally managed to do up a slideshow. I am still exploring how best to showcase. Anyway here u go, click the image below.

Preview again

Wow suddenly this blog becomes active again...kekeke.

When I first met Martyn, he immediately recognised me and knew i was from NP previously. He happened to be my friend, Bringal, hang out mates back in poly days. And coincidentally Martyn's cousin, Chi Yen is my camp mate during NS days. Chi Yen also went to Queensland for studies about the same time as me and i think we played mahjong together at Brisbane before..wahaha. Chi Yen also share the same birthday as me (and that is why i choose him to work with me when i saw his profile during NS days). And then one of Martyn's "brother" who is also Martyn poly classmate ,Tong, is my camp mate/bunk mate. Talk about coincidence... duh!!

Anyway Martyn, as requested....

You want 1 photo, we give u 8 photos....

because both of you are such a nice couple.

Yes, Wu is laughing at me now. Me asked for it. Me get into trouble for writing the previous post about the preview. Haiz. No choice what, I am such a nice guy ma. What to do. Couple happy, i also happy ma...wahahha... (dammm..really regret. Can i take back what i wrote previously. No more preview liao hor). No la Wu, actually I am just doing a test to see if anyone really reads our blog ma. I got my answer liao lor....wahahahaha.

Thanks Khet and Lynna for not chasing after us for photos. Appreciate that. We always try to make it a point to finish within a month. But u know, some months are really peak (and june 08 is Peak) and we really need understanding from couples. Depixel do not want to do a rush job for all our couples.

Sometimes i really feel like just giving up depixel already (but then its a passion thing, so maybe i wont give up ...yet. Sometimes, its the assurance and the appreciations from the couple that keeps me going....i should say, keep me and Wu going). No life leh. Day time work, night time edit photos, weekends shoot. And we haven talk about arranging time off to meet couples, delivery of DVD & albums. I haven really have time for myself for a long time. What is the latest show now in cinema i also dunno. How orchard road has changed, i also no time to see except when i drove past for dinner shoot at hotels in orchard roads. I missed my soccer sessions every sunday morning (oh, khet's brother is my soccer kakis!! Couldn't recognise him until he came over to talk to me). Then sometimes i have wierd request to have photos within two weeks. TWO WEEKS!! How on earth we gonna finish in two weeks! And it was written in our terms that a minimum of 3 weeks editing time is required. 3 weeks MINIMUM leh.... but still, got people asked me for photos within 2 weeks. Haizz, of course we also wanna do it in two weeks, pass it to you. You happy, we also happy. But we really cannot lor. So i hope couples can understand. We do understand the parents and friends factor. Tell them, good things must wait!

Anyway enough of my grumbling la. Tomorrow wake up will be a better day!
OK photo time. All photos by Wu again(I haven finished mine :P).

Wow, i just realised i haven been updating this blog for almost a month. That shows we are really really busy!! Ya, actually June is a hectic month for us. We been shooting like every weekend (both Sat and Sun). Really test our physical limit... It does't help when Euro 2008 kicked off in June. Phew, lucky its all over.

Off he goes to Maldives for a well deserve break. Soooooooooo ENVY!!!

Jason told me Maggie is eager to see some preview of the photos we took. OK, since u want it, you will have it (Liao...Buang... i know i'm in deep trouble... couples will start to ask me for preview!!). Hmmm ..eh Jason, u must give something in return ma. WHERE IS YOUR RACHA PHOTOS!!!!! Show me leh!!

Oh, Jason and Maggie went to Racha for their honeymoon. So i have requested them to take tons of photos to show me. I've been there back in 2006. So wanna check out hows the place now. kay poh la... :P
