Pre-Wedding Photoshoot

Finally got the DVD which contains some 2000+ photos of our pre-wedding photoshoot. Out of these 2000+ photos, we are to select some 50-55 photos for the album. Not going to be easy I guess... Anyway, here are some of the samples photos we got...

This photo was taken outside the studio at Linden Dr.

Hort Park....

Airport T3

Ben & Jerry, Dempsey Road

PageOne, VivoCity

Seriously, the photos did not come out as good as what I had expected. Maybe because in the first place, I had set pretty high expectation. Anyway, I think we should be able to select some really nice photos to be in the album. The rest of the photos, I think maybe we should spend some money and time to print them out and arrange them in our own photo album....

Friday's Night Out

Here....

heehee

:p

Our Bintan trip

This is pretty overdue.... but well, since when I am on time...

Here goes, Our Bintan Trip

Date : 06 Sep to 07 Sep

Place : Maya Sari Resort, Nariwana Gardens, Bintan

This is suppose to be a couple-trip with 5 couples going. In the end, a couple could not make it while one of the gals went alone, making our group 7 persons; Me, dear, JW, KT, TT, Andrew and NaNa.

This is our first time to Tanah Merah Ferry terminal; was surprise that there was a Killiney Kopitiam there. Well, at least I also know that this Killiney Kopitiam served sucky kopi.

Here are some photos.

The ferry that took us to Bintan.

Got us some beers before the trip.... In the end, we got to drink these beers as punishment because we cannot finished them......

Our ferry ride. Took a little more than an hour. The sea was choppy, making us sick.

First taste of the feeling of kanna tok. The food is expensive. We decided to share a portion as I do not want to become a carrot head. Our lunch which we waited for about 45 mins?

After lunch, we headed straight to the beach. The gals stayed under the shades, while the guys....

... took a dip in the sea. The water soon became choppy and the big waves comes in. That's when it is most fun... keke...

The next day...... Our breakfast was not too bad. They have a pretty good spread of food.

Took a photo outside our room. We are so into self-taken pics recently.. hee. The room is chalet style and is pretty cosy inside. Too bad we did not take a pic of the room.

Me; getting ready for another round of swim before we pack up and leave. Hmmm... where is my dear then???

Here she is! Enjoying herself under the coconut trees, as expected... Ha.. but well, she did join us for the beach volleyball. But let's see what is she looking at.....

.. oh the coconuts trees.. waiting for a nut or two to drop.

Took some time off from our volleyball game to fool around for the camera.

Soon comes the time we head home.

There is really nothing much to do at Bintan. We did try their Indonesian massage for about SGD32 for an hour at the Paseh Oleh Oleh. It was okie but left us with oily bodies... ha.

So, Bintan is a place whereby it is so so so commercialised. Everywhere you go, everything u does are meant for tourists. And this place is so darn expensive. They really think that it is so easy to earn our Singaporeans money. They will try to tok our money as much as they can. Be it in food or the water sports they offer. Nevertheless, we had a pretty good time there. The sky is blue, the sea is clear; something we do not get here in Singapore. Although the price is abit steep, this is one of the place to go if you just feel like doing nothing but go for a swim or a spa.

Singapore Flyers

Date: 04 Sep 2008, Thurs

As a Teachers' Day special, all MOE teachers get to enjoy free ride on the Singapore Flyers. Furthermore, friends of the teachers get to enjoy 25% of the regular ticket price. We decided to take up this offer and paid slightly more than $20 for both of us. I must said that although nothing great, it is worth the time and effort to try the Flyers at least once, just to get the feel of it. Anyway, the Flyers is damn inaccessible. There is a shettle bus there. But please lor, for those going there for the first time, they will not know where to take this bus lor.

Well, here are some pics taken during our rides.

Saw this wedding couple taking photos at the car park. Hee.. remind us of our own photoshoot the day before...

Nose to nose...

Guess what, the pic below is self-taken.

Soccer field at the Floating gallery... Heard they are planning for some soccer matches on this field... Hmmm wonder how many soccer balls will end up in the sea.

Pebblebay condo...

Our CBD...

After our ride which lasted about 25 mins, went for our dinner at Kenny Rogers. They changed their system of service. You do not order any more from the counter. You will be seated and then you order from their staffs. I still prefer ordering from the counter... Less waiting and no 10% service charge!

Lastly, went to lim kopi and had some cakes at TCC. Decided to make some faces...

In a few hours time, we will be leaving for Bintin for a short trip... Yahoooooo....

Photos!!

Some photos that were taken during our wedding photoshoot on 03 Sep 2008.

Here Jesslin, the make-up-artist is doing up the hair for my dear. Jesslin h'susband is the owner of a hair studio so she is also a good hairstylist. Actually, it is not easy to get a make-up-artist who is also a good hairstylist. This Jesslin is pretty pro, can change the style of hairdo in under a minute! Yap, no joke. She is good.

Now, its my turn. Just some powder on my scarred face and a simple hairdo.

My dear getting all ready in her wedding gown. She look gorgeous, don't you think so?

Putting on the final touches before the shoot starts.

We are all ready!! Beauty and her 白马王子. Wow haha...

Finally, a last photo taken after our photoshoot, while waiting for dinner to come. Hungry and tired...

Did not took much photos with our own camera. The rest of our photos are still with our photographer. Can't wait to collect our CDs with our pics.

Photoshoot.... Yipeeeeeeee!!!

Today is our pre-wedding photoshoot. Had been planning for the photoshoot the past few months. Looking for gowns, shoes, flowers and etc..... It is really alot of work as we are doing photoshoot ala-crate, as in not with any bridal studio. Although, there are more preparation to be done, I believed that we had enjoy every moment of it.

Anyway, our shoot was scheduled to be at 8 am, with the make-up-artist coming at the same time to do make-up. So, left my home at about 7.10 am. Well, in the car, listening to the radio, the weather focus for the day was "cloudy the whole day with rains and storms in the late morning and early afternoon". Those who take photos will know that such weather will ruin the whole phototaking process.. Still, we proceed for our shoot happily leaving the all our worries to the sky.

As things turn out, we got a clear blue sky in the early morning. Not a single drop of rain, not even any clouds in sight. However, we are only doing studio shoot in the morning. :(

After our studio shoots, our kind photograher, Terry of OneEyeClick decided to catch the good weather and take a few quick outdoor shoots outside his studio. Simple and yet nice shoots.

So, after lunch we headed out to the Airport, Dempsey Road, Vivocity and Hort Park as planned. Guess what? The sky only starts to rain after we had completed our photoshoot! Cannot believe our luck. If it rains before we go to Hort Park, we will not have much of the greenery shoots. Well, at least now we got more greenery.

Overall, we had tons and tons of fun. We even had strangers saying congrats to us. Some even took our photos... haha...

It must also be the day when we smile and laugh the most. It's been a tiring day, but surely one that is truly enjoyable and memorable....
