Get to know yourselves better

This is so damm chun about me.
The other day I was reading my friend blog about this Get To Know Myself Better Test. So this morning i decided to try it myself because she said the results described her really well. I didn't believe her as i thought all these test are crap until i did it myself. Really chun wor!

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Photo Blog helps

This photo blog really helps. We met a few couples recently and usually we will show at least two recent portfolio (er, i think this blog shows the most latest pics already. The one in my laptop shows a more complete version of a whole day event). But lately, few of them did not even finish the first portfolio and return the laptop to me. At first this is quite worrying because it could mean our photos are so badly done that they bored them ...hahaha. In the end, the couple signed up with us leh. ho ho ho... i later found out they checked out our pics in this blog (and website of course). So prior to meetup, they more of less decided on us (phew!!). The meetup is probably just to get to know us better and see if we can click (sure can lah, me and wu so friendly, don't u people agree?? kekeke..). So this blog really helps. GREAT!
OK, another December couple photos...

Yes, finally, one last December couple photos to go. Should be able to finish by this week, hopefully (i know she is watching us CLOSELY.....DANGER...wahahahaha). Ok lah, i know u reading this. Will try to pass u this weekend ok. I doing it now. Really....

I need a rest badly. I was talking to a VG during a shoot yesterday. He has been in this line for many years and he told me a few PGs has passed away due to exhuastion. GULP!! I looked at Wu, he looked at me... WE NEED A BREAK SOON! We decided to declare some weeks off to rest, research, review and to plan. haizz..

Doremon Couple

Before i talked about the Doremon couple. I have something to blog about first....hee hee..

We as a AD photographers are bound to work with some videographers. Along the way we have met some nice one that we feel very comfortable to work with. I guess it is important for PG to work well with VG to bring out the best for the couple. That is why we sourced for VG partners. At least we have someone familiar and knows each other style.

We worked with two VG not too long ago. Let call them Mr A and Mr B.
Mr A is very experienced because he is with the industry for 15 over years. Lots of experience, seen alot and know alot. And because of this, he tends to take control of some things and talked too much (or maybe i can call him Mr know it all). Well actually this doesn't really bother me but i guess it bothers the couple. I did not see him at the dinner that night. Well, my guess is, he utter too much (nonsense?) and probably take control of too many things. For me, i am a silent shooter. I try not to interfere or talked alot and prefers to let the day goes by naturally so that i can captured the natural self of everyone (but sometimes must control abit la, like group photos la, tea ceremony position la, or when the couple asked us for opinion la). So please hor, don't say i dao hor just because i keep quiet hor. kekekeeke... Sometimes i also shy shy ma...hahahaha..faint.

Mr B is very unfriendly. He doesn't smile much and he is rude to the guest. Why rude? He can shout at the guest who blocked his view!! I was shocked! Totally shocked. And best of all, he told me off infront of the couple. Faint! Just because i didn't wait for him when the car door was opened. I was totally dumbfolded!! He got off the car first... at least 2 minutes later then i got off the bridal car to photograph the groom. So that 2 mins...WHERE IS HE??? Even he is somewhere, he can always alert us to wait for him ma... ai yooo. OK, to be fair, it could be a misunderstanding somewhere, but can't we talked? He don't even want to talk to us!! And must he say me infront of the couple? waaah... how will the couple feel dude? No choice lor.. i keep quiet and swallow lor. I don't want the couple to feel stress that we PG and her VG not getting along ma. I guessed the couple also sensed his "pattern" and apologise to me later in the day. They didn't expect the VG to be soooooo hostile. Thats not all, he blocked our view, he video the couple as if he own the whole place without considering our presence... very unique videoing process indeed. It is a case of lack of communication ..... and it seems like the VG is not willing to talk it out. Really very unfriendly. haizz...

ok enough. Time for some photos... Kevin and Carilyn. One of the first few couples who signed up with us. Both of them like Doremon so much that the brothers have to dance and sing Doremon. Even Kevin must composed poems with Doremon before he can meet his bride. He is really a talented and smart guy (scholar hor). Can sing, can talk, can dance, compose, can teach as well. Oh, i also met a long time friend at their wedding. Apparently she is a colleague of Carilyn. Really small world. I got so much to say to her but it seems like we have distanced.. It is not the same as before when we met many many years back (i knew her when she was taking her O'level). I still remember those days.. haizz. Anyway.. photossssss.....


At the dinner that night, Liverpool play Manchester United. The guys knew this is a crucial match not to be missed. The groom appreciated everyone attendance at his dinner. And everyone at the dinner seems to support Liverpool....... Except me. I am glad Man U won 1-0 away...AHAHAHAHAHAHA... Red Devil Rulessss!!!

Editing work halt

I didn't do any editing tonight. I have no more hard disk space!! Gosh..

So i have been spending the whole night transferring files, burning backup copies and organising my hard disk so that tomorrow i can resume my editing work. At the same time i have chosen some photos to update in this blog.

I met Lip Chee & Maggie last year at Eng Wei & Hui Min wedding. I didn't get a chance to talk to them at all last year, but I know both of them were the "brother" and "Sister" of Eng Wei's big day. Maggie sms me one day and asked if i am free on her wedding. Initially we did't want to take up any job that weekend (rest week for me & Wu), but thought of meeting up with old friends, is really too tempting to give it a miss. I decided to take it and persuaded Wu to take it as well. We didn't regretted it at all. In fact we enjoyed it and wanted so much to shoot Jeffrey & Minyun this year. But haizz...we are booked le. So sad.. and I still thought i can meet this bunch of fun and very nice people (and of couse little Eng Wei) for 3 consecutive year. Wu even told me to persuade them to change their wedding date so that we can shoot them. Faint.. HAHAHAHA.. Its a pity. I envy the PG who will be shooting at their wedding.

Well, life goes on... and Maggie, dun forget.. Mahjong!! dun forget me!! My hands itchy le!! kekekeke.... if i have the time.

Oh, before i forget, this is the best ever and loudest "Yum Seng" by the brothers of Lip Chee. Really BEST EVER for me and Wu.... Take a look. RRRROOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRR!!!
The starting point....store power first... Take deep breathe and start the "yum" slowly..
Yum Yum Yummmmmmm... Look at the energy level and all the veins coming out slowly.....
This is IT!!! FULL POWER!! Grabbed the brother arm..open your mouth wide wide...let your voice out..YUUUUMMMM!!!!
And finally, the "Seng"...
I am so going to miss this at Jeffrey & Minyun wedding this year.
