Jomel’s Wedding and….?

…. can I also include it as a Blogger’s Meet so that I can file them under the “Blogger’s Meet” category? Hehe, thank you!

So, it was Jomel’s (no point linking her since you have to be an invited reader) wedding over the weekend and she is so kind to put the bloggers on the same table. Luckily we was assigned to a table at one corner. That way, we have lots of ample space for us to walk around and camwhore. As usual, me and my weaknesses. I really need to get an external flash as soon as possible. All this crappy pictures is driving me bonkers. And the worst part is, the Bride and Bridegroom has finished with their smooching and the darn built-in flash still shows the “BUSY” sign. Grrrr! Another new thing I’ve learnt or explored at this wedding reception apart from what I’ve learn during my cousin’s wedding. My Sifu was lecturing me as why I did not use the prime lens (aka 50mm lens) instead of the zoom lens. And he go bla bla bla which I don’t see the logic at all. He could be right and also wrong at the same time. My main reason was 50mm lens is good for portrait and not wide angle shot. And he go bla bla bla again. Alright! So this time I tried to shoot the reception with my prime lens. Well,everyone have different preference. I think I will stick back to the zoom lens for wedding reception.

First shot on Ms Titoki:

I can never go wrong with portrait shot. Kinda like expert in this field la. *Ahem*

Fyi, today I came as a guest. Not the photographer ok? This is the official photographer.

Everybody say Hi to Ah Tak! After you saw his work, you will think my skill can go down the longkang. That is why whole night I don’t bother to take many pictures. No point lor. Mine only crappy camera with no external flash. :( There we go again talking about the flash. Huhuhu.

The deco on every table.

 

This is a very good idea as a ‘Thank you” gift. I love how Jomel replaced the mints wrapper with her personal note.

This is what was printed on it -

  • IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, UNWRAP & SAVOUR. Hmm… I wonder what type of emergency is it. Maybe as a mouth refreshment?
  • INGREDIENTS: 100% Love, Caring, Sharing, Respect, Hope, Understanding & Faith
  • BEST BEFORE: June 2058 - And again I am wondering what it meant. Could it be the shelf life of the mint or ….. nevermind. *slap mouth*

Sweet cupcake for everyone.

Jomel almost bake her own cupcake. She is one super lady.

Every nooks and corner was decorated with something. For example the walkway, rose petals was scattered all over the red carpet.

If you look carefully on the left bottom, that is actually a heart shape formed by lots of rose petals. Can you imagine how much Jomel spent on roses and also tealight holder?

Bloggers that presence that day: (Don’t ask me what happen to the pic!) (Finally hijacked Ms Titoki picture.  I love them I mean us so much.  so Wacky!  Just like us!)

Nyonya Penang, Win Liuliu, Sengkor, Ms Titoki, Nine3 Nine4 and Peter Tan

The MC for that night is Ivy. She is very very very friendly. If you are looking for MC, I would highly recommend her.

Look at me! I was so tanned from my previous Pangkor Island trip.

And this is someone I was so thrilled to see. The Co-MC and also Mandarin translator is ThaiBoxingGirl!

When Ivy told us she is ThaiBoxingGirl, all of us almost go ga-ga. Mind you, her Mandarin can beat anyone flat anytime! Her accent is so extraordinary, so pleasant to the ear and she can sing very well too. I was totally caught off guard by her.

You may want to camp at Ah Tak’s blog for more pictures. (If there is any). All these pictures I’ve posted has passed my stringent QC. The rest will remain in my hard drive. Dare not show people. haha! For the closing, may I present you the Bride:


I like this shot but she prefer the other one.


So I just put up 2 shots of her. Solve my problem.

 

… and the Bridegroom

(I know you love all my pictures. Don’t have to cry la. *pat, pat*)

Many Happy Return to the newlywed. The End.

Clap hand la everybody!

Wedding: Andrew and Agnes

The night before the wedding, I was still debating with myself if I should go ahead to be the OFFICAL photographer for my Cousin’s wedding. Being the official photographer means I cannot afford to make any mistake. Pressure was on me now. At the other hand, if I pulled out, Cous will have no one to take pic for him. I think I’ve made the right choice after seeing all their guests and friends snapping away from the mobile camera.

Just shaddup if you think so and so Louise Pang or Kid Chan or Ah Tat can take better picture than me. I am not a professional photographer. The pictures I took are mainly for my eyes only and for fun. You don’t compare an orange with a watermelon, right? Thru this experience, I’ve learn a few things about myself. The bad ones would be lack of experience and lots of weaknessess. And you don’t think my Sifu is easy to deal with. When you go to him for advice like, “Sifu ah, why the pic like this and like that wan?” In return, he will question me back instead of telling me the answer. Me, “I increased ISO to 1600 and switch on the flash. Aparture f5.6 liao wor.” Sifu final answer will be, “If that is the case, go get a new lens and external flash.” Really char tou!

Please enjoy the full wedding pictures from my gallery. In future, you may also click on the ‘photo album’ link which is situated on my right bar. Good thing I’ve decided to upload them on the gallery so that I can spare the mercy on my readers for the torture and eyesore having to going through tons and tons of photographs in my blog. Here are some random shots that I like.


This shot will looks nice on a fish eye lens. Too bad I don’t have one.


Oh, spot my new watermark? Another Cousins was saying my previous watermark is too distracting. It should be mini like the Mini Cooper.


I totally love this shot on Cous main door.


Love the new watermark.


I was waiting for this moment. I hearts fake lashes!


Sorry about the zits. No time to photoshop it away. Totally love the lashes again.


Learned a new trick so that I don’t appear in the mirror.


Some people may not like darker pic so I have another one taken with flash.


What do you think? I still prefer the first one. Regretted that I didn’t took the full length of the dress. Was just plain lazy to change my lens.


Conversation with 8 y/o: Mummy, why *hands was seen cupping her own breast* it must be so big? Mummy, why *hands cupping her own breast again* they like it to be different there? (Lots of glitters)


With the help from natural sunlight. Totally love the effect.


Was standing on a chair. I think I need a ladder! *you lazy ass. where is your wide angle lens again?*


Effect from natural sunlight again.


Reminded myself to take a shot of their rings. I just keep on forgetting. Urgh!


Black watermark doesn’t looks nice. Bluek.

Thanks Cous for giving me the opportunity to cover your wedding. Come collect from me your CD consisting of 370 pictures!

Cousin’s Wedding & Grandma’s Birthday

Short Note: Never insult a photographer if you know nuts about photography!

Just some random shots I took during my Cousin’s wedding dinner in Pangkor.

For those that are getting married, make sure you buy this gold Phoenix tea pot. The colour is totally outstanding.

Good thing Cous is 5 months older than me. That safe me one yam char angpow. hehe…

The happiest time would be my 3 kids getting 6 angpow! Syok max!

Lots of bling-bling too.

Which one do you adore? I would say the purple germ gem.

Lots of clowning with my other Cousins.

She is one of them.

Food was good. The one I love most is the yam paste with ginkgo. The Hockkien called them Orh Nee.

I will try to make this one day. Looking at it make me salivating again. *slurp*

Sorry, no pictures of the Bride and Groom till I get the green light from them. Achelli, I volunteered to covered their wedding day this coming Sunday but I think I need more confidence, skills and better photography equipment like a 85mm lens or external flash. If you read this Cous, I am so sorry to ffk you last minute. Am really really sorry. But I will still attend your Bachelor’s night :) .

(Dang! Where is my guts.)

Ok, Cous wedding dinner and Grandma’s Birthday was pre-arrange on the same weekend so that we (from outstation) do not have to travel back to Pangkor twice. So, the next day we celebrated my Grandma’s 93th Birthday. Woot! Never underestimate my Grandma. At 93y/o, she can blow out the candle in one puff. Nak tangkap gambar pun tak sempat. Luckly left one lit candle.

Hubby’s boss think if I were to live till 93y/o, possibly that I could have 2 husbands. Very chim hor, nevermind. A little conversation with Son.

Son: Ah Chor (Great Grandma) got a lot of black spots on her face.

Mum: Yes. Next time Mummy old already will have black spots too *cringe*

Son: At what age?

Haha! I also don’t know la Son. I don’t even know if I can live pass 80y/o.

~~~***~~~***

On an unrelated matter to the title above, while in the ferry from Pangkor to Lumut, guess who I met on board?

EAT FIRST THINK LATER!

No, not you. I mean her nickname is Eat First Think Later. hehe. She is one of the famous food blogger. Do check her out ok? I mean her blog. *rolling eye*
