Bday photos!

Had myself in stitches all night last night, where ryan, damian, william x2, eric, james and grace (all photogs except the womam!) celebrated my bday at this brazillian restaurant near ryan's studio...

it had this card where one side was green and the other was red. it's for you to flip it over so the chef knows if u you want more food on your plate (green) or not (flip it to the red side). i told the waiter when he informed us of the "system" that u no need to bother with me, just gimme a green plate! ahhaha

anyway, a very special thanx to eric who BAKED ME A CHOCOLATE BROWNIE CAKE. u got that straight, a man who bakes, and is hell good at it. u think i know alot of girls? u dunno this guy yet. baking his way to nirvana it seems... MAUAHHAHA

i had a great day guys.. didn't expect such an odd numbered year to have so much fun, it's always just an excuse to have dinner for me, wat a great excuse it was this year!

thanx to more smses that came in, in total 3 ex-gfs smsed, ahha i guess they don't hate me. *bleah*

ok enuff talking, how about some pic whoring...


















and the three afgan "girls" mauahaha..





thanx to william chua for these pics. william yang.. i still waiting for yours!!! will chua couldn't stop laughing at "afgan ryan". we predicted that when the couple that he's shooting today gets married in church he will burst out laughing..... he was laughing so hard i think i saw an aneurism happen right there.....

Hilarious!

Got this from Feliza's blog... ahahah it's damn funny!!!!!!!!!!

Title: 'No honey, I don't feel like it tonight....'
Author: Guy


One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says,'I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me.' I said, 'WHAT??!! What was that?!' So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... 'You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.'

She responded to my puzzled look by saying,'Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?' Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy the mall.

She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, 'Let’s get a pair for each outfit.' We went on to the jewellery department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings.

Let me tell you... she was so excited.She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis racket when she doesn't even know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, 'That's fine, honey.'

She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said,'I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier.' I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, 'No honey, I don't feel like it.'

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, “WHAT?' I then said, 'Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while.You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.'

And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added,' Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?'

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....but at least that girl knows I'm smarter than her.

Fu Qi Xiang? and bday crap...

Testing 5D...

and what better subjects to test on than huirong and portia? =)

Huirong:



Potia:



u know where to find the rest...

Was using a few lenses.. 70-200/2.8L (no IS), 35/1.4L, 85/1.2L, 24-105L and my fav of the lot was the 35/1.4

ok i seldom equipment wank but this i gotta say, TOTALLY backlighted and wide open, the 35/1.4 controlled flare so well, and the most amazing part is... totally no CA...

85/1.2 is too damn heavy and i can never get a good focus at f1.2. of course i dun have to use it at f1.2 lar, was just testing. altho alot of wedding photgs that have that lens, use it at f1.2.... i was like HOW???? my skill lousy.. teach me leh. WILLIAM CHUA!!! oh ya that reminds me, i want the shot u took of me at TCC.. yeap.. at f1.2!!!

24-105 won't be a lens of my choice, becos it's at f4. i guess being a nikon user.. we don't have f4 lenses, so all 2.8 or faster. also, at 24 the barrel distortion is too much for me, i wouldn't sacrifice that just for a longer range zoom. i wonder how the 24-70 fares at the 24 end...

then the body.. 5D, yeah.. nice piece of work, image quality wise. body wise, average, controls are ok, anything is better than the 1D series where it's like trying to mutilate a rubix cube.. i still like how nikons feel in my hands.. but then i suspect that's totally something you get accustomed to...

i was blown away.... damn.. DAMN. nikon.. wat are you doing??????????????????? and can you do it soon?!!!

don't be surprised if i turn up to a wedding wielding both systems.. madness economically, but totally making the best of both camps. like, i can't give up nikon's flash system. even a 5yo can shoot with a nikon flash and expose correctly ALL THE TIME. =P

many thanx to james for loaning me the 5D and 24-105, and william for the rest. and REAL friends do not poison each other, both of them have advised me to think carefully before making any decisions.

ok equipment wank off. got a wedding to shoot in a couple of hours. (with nikon!)

Mercedes-Benz Centre turns one!

And as a valued vendor to them, they called me 2 hours before the event. What notice!

Anyway, i got this shot tonight, forgetful me, can't remember her name...



i seldom post event shots altho i shoot quite alot of them... here's a few from tonight that i liked:













and the chiobu of the night (non-model/actress) goes to Pricilla (notwithstanding the messy hair!).. hope i got her name right:



on second thought, i think i liked her best including all the models there tonight. and please, try not to tell me about how i freely like to express my thoughts on beautiful females. cos i already know that.
