First post for the new year...

Usually people write about what they achieved or regret the past year, and what they hope to achieve and NOT regret for the coming... but not me not today.

It's kinda silly, but i just watch a movie on dvd and it's gotten me feeling kinda finny, strange. Love story of course, admittedly, such movies are my favourites. i enjoy watching romance and drama much more than war and action. I prefer to see on screen something that is real, or could be real, ideal even. Altho, the dvd i just watched is pretty far fetched and certainly less than ideal! that's right, love contradicts, so i do it too!!

Anyway if you're asking WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF is the damn movie, okokok i'll tell u! ahha... It's called "Wicker Park". I've never even heard of the movie, was at Carrefour the other day and they had two dvds for $30 so i grabbed 2, saw josh harnett on the front cover and i thot that would be good enuff for me to watch. yeah i like him, lovely charm.

I could do a synopsis of the movie but i think i won't. all i know is that... when you're in love, nothing seems wrong. that's how powerful it is, it defies your conscience. it's not healthy, but it happens. or maybe only in movies.

Anyway, i have managed to revamp my room to look REALLY decent, i just have to tape down a couple of wires, and unpack miscellaneous stuff that's still in the balcony to the shelves and i can take a picture and post it here. for the first time in my life i have bothered to do some "interior decoration" and even bought furniture to suit the room, lay it out to use the best of the space but yet look organised and pleasant. who needs a wife eh? u'd think i'd be the last person to say shit like that, but well, indulge me lar, new year leh!~!!

will post that photo soon.

if anyone's interested, here's some updates regarding the business side of things.

1. shih han had better be working frantically on my new website. he's nice, but i really dunno how his progress is. "nice" doesn't mean good work in a timely manner. but well we'll wait and see and if i know myself enuff, it won't go public until it is close to perfect.

2. tonnes of weddings from 2006 to clear, but beginning of 2007 is quieter for me which i am SO GLAD. I think i would actually be able to clear my work and NOT have any work to do come mid this month. I can actually say : I do NOT have anymore photos to edit, so i can DO NOTHING for a few days. let's hope i'm on to it and the sooner i finish the sooner i can have a break. not to mention collect money but somehow when i think of the back log i really dun think about the money i'm not collecting. and it "helps" when i get smses once in a while for couples asking for photos. i dun blame them, i would do the same, absolutely.

3. did my first "proper" shoot in the studio for a bridal magazine consisting of 10 models with 2 changes each. u know, another reason why it will be a very slow journey for me to get into fashion: there was absolutely no connection with the models, i only met them today, shot them (actually waited ages for them to get ready), and they left, and i can hardly remember their names. for the last group, i was calling them by the position they were standing (left, centre, middle) as there were group shots. i swear, it was so BUSINESS. i wasn't feeling, i was delivering. the photos turned out alrite, but the process wasn't invigorating to say the least. and i really had to rush. wasn't the client's fault that i had to rush, just some other silly thing which i dun think i wanna talk about, if anyone's really interested u can ask me. so anyway i figured: u can't shoot without a heart and enjoy it. u can however, do relatively well just using your brain. quotable quotes?

Think that's about it for now, time for some photos, here's a few that "made it to the portfolio" recently:





above images of jeff and cheryl, spent many years in australia with jeff as classmates, great to see him again, he's working in sydney now. GO!



finally got a shot of shoes that i am extremely pleased with, altho a little posed. no, the shoes didn't really get up there by itself! taken at Jostein and Annie's wedding, intersting couple, Norwegian guy with Malaysian Chinese girl getting married in singapore but live in Norway. Don't ask.... will post more of them after i process.



this is called FACE OFF! ahhaha.. 3v1 no match. the price of the three cars added together comes to about HALF the value of the single car, how apt that to find a partner in marriage is that priceless and then somemore?! ahhaha.. well that's an M5 there for those of you who can't tell. Well you can't really from this angle, but trust me it is...



here's one of felicia at her wedding day (image of her dancing with yingyao at their ROM in previous post). CONGRATULATIONS!!! she's already expecting!! unexpected for them but still great news! Found out when i visited them to deliver their album. So this tells me a couple of things, they either work fast, or i deliver slow! ok maybe a bit of both. Extremely happening couple, wishing them a happy healthy and chubby baby!

alrite, u know where to go for larger and more images.
