It's been a while....

since I last mentioned about the gown...

Yes so there was a tiny bump in the supposed smooth sailing, so far so good thinking until 2 fittings ago when the alteration looked oh so strange. but that's all over and done with. it looks great now...=) n fits like a glove...

Since then, we've confirmed our location: Goodwood Park Hotel, The Windsor Ballroom
and the church: St Francis Xavier (Cause my grandparents from Mummy's side's there, so after the celebration we'll stop by to say "hi hi!")
and the date!!: 29th January 2011

The last time when i booked a date, the person at the church told me to take the form home, fill it up then come back and make a deposit. Today, someone else from the church called me "trying" to bump me off my wedding timing... nice try... =P

The story goes...

Last Sunday I had gone in to book my church date... Wanted some time late morning, but arrived only to discover that the same day, 11am slot was taken up... so... settled for the early 9am mass... (well... at least I can now go in and set up the flowers the night before...hehehe... the couple after me needs to come in right after mine to rush their set up...) I sound like Bride-zilla in the making!

But yeah..anyway, so reserved that date and TAH DAH!

So today, I received a call from some1 from church telling me that there's a couple there with her now... who'd like that date, and want to book it at 10, an hr b4 e other couple... no idea HOW they're gonna do tt... n they were able to made the deposit today...

So i replied... "Ok, so what you want me to do???"

She replied..."Could you have your wedding at 8am?"

WAHAHAHAHA! no one's gonna come to my wedding like that man! 8am... phhftt...

So I said no... its too early...

And she tried explaining to me the whole situation about how they can pay deposit...So i told her what I was told, that I can come back to deposit but to reserve the date and that there was no way I was giving it up...

Before both phones were put down... I heard the lady's distant voice say "I'm so sorry...but"
I felt bad, but i also felt good that I had stood my ground...

Bride-Zilla here she comes! hahaha!

Next up on list of to do things asap:
1) Pay deposit for church
2) Pay deposit to Goodwood Park
3) Design invites
4) Pay and register for Marraige Preparation Course
5) Confirm Brides maids and the possible Brides Man...=)

I determined I didn't want to fill up the brides MAIDS quota just cause I had to...
Chris so far has chosen 3 or the possible four, Grooms men + Best Man...

So for me...
1) Cherie aka Samsui aka Che-ly (Bridesmaid)
2) Jaslyn (from uni days, different course, but I love her dearly like a little sister)
and here it comes... the possible number 3....
3) Brides-MAN...Derek (Same bday, same nonsense...hahaha! We're queer in a way, but we click) *shurgs* who said it HAS..DIE DIE HAS to be a girl... Screw that! hahaha!

and the possible 4th girl... if this woman comes back and stays put in Singapore to have the alteration of her dress done and all that jazz...

4) Stephanie aka Step-ni-ni...

It's finally started rolling...

I have found... my GOWN!!!

I know its nuts... but it's the first and only gown i tried...
I guess it was so easy because... if i wanted like a Bustier, a strapless, a spaghetti strap, a halter... something that's typical of wedding gown of choice... I'd still be one of those girls, setting another date and location to find another dress to try... =)

But I'm not, and I'm Very Happy!
It's brand new, worn only recently by the model who did the shoot for them and the bridal show that was held in January, but not tried by anyone else but the mannequin at the store front. (or so what the designer of the gown said).

Also, very minimal alteration is needed. the length's perfect n exact, only need to take in 2 inches at the waist... tts all... =)

It's traditional, unique, gorgeous, elegant... its also...FULL LACE frm the collar to the train... and to top it off... Mum & Dad bought it for me... hehehe...
Yes yes... bought and not rented. the price to buy, and the price to rent was a few hundreds more, and it only made sense to buy it instead... =P

In 2 weeks time I'll be back to try it again after the alteration. Second fitting...

From here on out... its planning all the way...the venue, the date, the guests, the church...

HERE WE GOOOOOO!!!

Disgusting...

It's all the talk now... What would you have done...

If you haven't heard, its about this girl who was being super molested at the Siloso Beach Party... *click the title to see the video and read about it*

Girl molested at countdown party: How can heartless people say she deserves it?

Seeing this disgust me... Watching the responses on the Razor TV link made me outraged...
I can't believe that off the many people interviewed, they actually said that they wouldn't do anything! and the reason..."It's too much of a trouble la"

OH MY FUCKING GOODNESS! are u serious... The guy that said that, honestly... must have no girlfriend... WTF! If its your fucking girlfriend then you see if you'd say the same thing you fucking asshole...

Seriously... what has society in Singapore become? A bunch of self-centered, Kiasu, Kiasee, cannot be bothered fucking society...

There will come a day in Singapore, when we're probably walking down the street, and we see a guy get stabbed in front of us, we'd all walk away and "siam" the situation... Why?
"Because its too much of a trouble to get involved" WTF MAN! Made me wanna punch that guys face...

I have nothing else to say really... I hope the dicks of those fucking molesters never "salute" ever again and that they hands get amputated by something... seriously...

Well, to all those motherfuckers standing in the front videoing her... Karma's a bitch!

Click! photography - Wake-boarding Kevin & Cheryl

A trip to Perth, a wake-boarding session with these two, and seeing that "chemistry" between these two love birds was enough to spark the need to photograph them with their common love...

WAKE-BOARDING!

I always hear people tell me..."it's so difficult to find someone else whom you love, that does the same thing as you, like same hobby, same ambition... you're so lucky..."

BUT looks like it isn't sooo rare since I found these two!
In total I picked out 51 shots, but here's a few that are my favorite...

Kevin...being a responsible worker... like everyone else in Singapore...

OK STOP! if i post anymore...I might as well post EVERYTHING!
Thanks you two for being such great sports!

Of course at the end of it all... it's never a Click! photography shoot wit...hout the usual...Group shot...Enjoy!






To see all the 51 pics... go HERE!

so funny so funny... watch 1 to 3... MUST!

The cute part is that each episode is like at a their different ages. so cute!

This is tooo cute... watch it... the really REALLY funny part happens somewhere after 3mins...

Counting down to happy things

So it's Day 7 of my notice count down. I have another 17 days left to count (including weekends and those blessed public holidays and half day cause its the eve of public holidays). I should have more days to count, but i'm offsetting the rest of my notice with the remaining leave that I have! WOOT!

Oh and did I mention, my boss, and senior (the two fuckers in my life) are on leave! Starting yesterday, they will be on leave till next year and only returning 4 January. which leaves me ONLY 5 days to put up with them! Awesome Pawsome...

Its amazing how time flies by so quickly, before I know it... i'll be jobless...kinda... and introducing myself for the time being as a Freelance photographer...

I like the ring of that. really.. nothing prestigous like..."Adverting and Promotions Executive". But hey... everyone's an executive nowadays, so...so what...
Here, the only thing I have to add to my portfolio is my company's name, the duration that I was here for, and what my role entails.
As a photographer I've got more!
1) L'Oreal product launch x 2
2) Heineken product shoot
3) Rendezvous Hospitality corporate shoot
4) Volkswagen - Scirocco Launch
5) Volkswagen - Zoukout 2009
6) 1 wedding (1 more in January)
7) 2 ROMs (1 more in January)
8) Graduations

I've still got a little bit of Xmas shopping to do...=(
But I like that as I get older, there's no need to buy for SOOOoooOOooo many people... haha! just the pple who matter will do...

Mummy, Daddy, Christopher, his family, Steph, Godpa & Godma and Cherry aka Samsui...
that's about it...

So Daddy & Chris down...
Omg... that leaves me with like... ALOT MORE! DIE! hahaha!

Just a preview...=)

So after having gone wake-boarding with Chery and Kevin in Perth, I couldn't help but think of how fun it would be to shoot these two.

So I set a date on Friday to get the shoot done, and I had a few shots in mind. To be very honest, this was my first shoot that I did majority of the shooting.

Here's a preview of 1 of the shots I envisioned... That I was very determined to try to get and arrange the lights, no matter how difficult I thought it would be, I'm glad I got it...

The pics are still in the process of DI/Post processing, so these two are not complete yet... but here they are... =) I must say, I'm very very happy with how they're slowly turning out...

I'm like a wild animal let loose now...

CAUSE I'M FREE FROM THE CLUTCHES OF HELL HERE!

Yes people... yes! I've done the deed and handed in my resignation letter.
A huge weight off my shoulders...

I wish this place all the best...

Now... time to plan my evil scheme on what to say during my exit interview...=)

A Treat for my Feet! =)

Ok, so I wanted to lay all my buys across my room floor and then post them up... BUT! I'm a little lazy today... so i'll do them after they go through the wash...=)

BUT! in the mean time! I decided to grab an image of 1 of my buys from the net to share... hehehe...

A TREAT FOR MY FEET is what it was...
Walked the famous Harbour Town on the 1st day in Perth... Thinking all hope was lost, and that I would end up not buying anything... Low and behold! a huge sign at the Nike store..."40% off STW!" AND BOY WERE THEY SERIOUS ABOUT THE 40%! NOTHING in the store was untouched by the wonderous "LESS 40%".

I picked these babies up... sigh... What love it was when I saw these shoes... of course... Chris liked them too.. and the best part... They was only 1 pair left in my size..everything else was a 9 and above!

Nike Air Jordan Retro 8

I saw 2 price tags... a $100 plus tag, which had a bright red $60 tag stuck over it...

So after trying them, i was a little apprehensive to get them...

Then... the super nice sales dude came up to me and said... "Wow... you should REALLY get those... they're an awesome awesome buy and their gorgeous!"

At 1st I thought to myself "you're just talking sales talk man"

Then he continued... "Get them today! you must, they're a real steal... Just last month they were like.. $100 over bucks... then last week we slashed the price to $60 bucks... so today.. if you buy them, they're like... $24!!! You should so so get it!"

O...M... Fucking... G man!!! $24!!!

I was sold! Chris looked at me and I looked at me with my mouth open... "I'm so getting it!"

Nutters man... What a steal! Happiness Happiness Happy jolly-ness man... I still can't belive I got them for only $24... hehehehe...

Reality hits harder than a brick wall

So I'm back from PERTH!

Glad to feel the sun!
I got a tank top tan too... but I don't mind...beats getting the "florescent light tan" by a million times...

Monday blues hit the moment the plane took off... i teared a little because I didn't wanna go back to the so called reality on Monday...

P.S I deleted the 3 day count down from the previous post... just in case some sticky nose went arnd snooping some how or another... bleah...

Tra LaLa Ooo LaLa, Perth here i come!

The two count downs that's keeping me really busy, excited, on the edge of my seat, jump for joy and nervous...

4 days to Perth

Well, so far, the weekend's been awesome and simple...
Spent it with the 2 most important men in my life...=) Christopher, and dear Daddy...
1) I FINALLY cleaned my super moss covered, water evaporating fish tank, I'm surprised all my fishes still survived.
2) Bought new fish to add to my really clean again tank.
3) Bought a second battery for my 5D MkII.
4) Bought another Billingham! WOOT! bigger and in green... Awesome Pawsome! This is like the Prada of camera bags man...=) Hole in my wallet, but I'm happy... This is going to be my travelling partner in Perth...
5) click! photography had a little practice in our studio on what kinda lighting we wanna go for for our corporate job coming up.


Also! The Grunge girls are back together again for a performance and competition... shiok...

And to top it off, we've got ourselves a new member..Evelyn! AND AND! We've all finally got high cuts! Welcome to the family Cass!
can't wait to get back to dancing... I've been so deprived because of work... really so deprived... I can't wait to have more time for dance and for posting entries on click! photography's blog... That blog is in such a sad state now...

click! photography's new post!

FINALLY!

We've got a new post up...

Cas's Graduation
http://www.discover-click.blogspot.com/

Bored in the office...

Its strange that it feels so different handling a "normal" project now...

I can't seem to get used to the "non-hassle" & "non-panicky" parts...

Its been at least 6 months since i experienced this kind of calm where I am.

Feels good i guess... but the past 6 months has "trained" me to worry that I have something that I might have left undone. So now, with this calm floating around me, I keep thinking "This isn't real, there IS something that I have to do..."

Strange...

On a better note!

My leave got approved and I'll be jetting off on 27 midnight to Perth oh PERTH for Aaron's wedding...

Can't wait... All the cousins, relatives, the family and the boy friend's gonna all be together at the same place, on the same holiday in the same country!

Awesome Pawsome yo!

Was thinking of what to wear to the wedding... Might wear the dress that Chris's mum gave me...=) Its a really sweet umpire cut dress from her younger days... Its gorgeous!

BUT! I think i can't fit into it already!! hahaha! since the last time she gave it to me, I've been "working" on building a ring of fats aroudn my waist... You know the sort that gives you layers and lines on your tummy when you sit down...Yeah...they're showing... My jobs making me fat... Another reason to leave...LOL!!! I'm so full of nonsense...

I have 2 weeks to shed this "Ring of Wonder"!

I don't need to eat less, I need to excercise!

Another reason for me to leave work on time!!

Here's a little something that has been circulating the office email...hehehe...

Old times old FUN times...

So I was browsing through my "bookmarks" on my computer and stumbled upon my old blog, and decided to give it a visit...

Boy did I have some memories with my blog entries... hahaha!

Here's some... Starting from the latest...

*Click the titles to get linked*

Treasure hunt-Island Creamery style

Tim surprised me with a treasure hunt to keep me entertained while working at GWC. Was damn fun...

SAWADEEKAAAA-Berry Chip mam

Bangkok trip with mum... was so damn fun...didn't shop much, but it was fun just being away with mum...

Halloween 2006

I was a police woman that year... hahaha! I celebrated most of my Halloween night working at Island Creamery... it was fun, we all dressed up...=)

The year I won 1st in a category at my First Canon Photo Marathon

Will never forget that feeling...=)

The day Mabel was born =)

Sweetness in a little bundle...

And I've got videos too...to my friends who know me as a retard at times...here's more of a reason to think so! LOL!

LIP SYNC 1 - Justin Timberlake - Sexyback

The start of my singing and dancing career... LOL! YEAH RIGHT!

LIP SYNC 2 - Carrie Underwood - Before he cheats

LIP SYNC 3 - Gnarls Barkley

The ultimate video that won me a "lip sync" award at my UB graduation bash... After you watch this, you'll never look at me the same...

ENJOY!

The weekend's here again! YAY!

The past week has been really sweet and short for me...

Work Monday, MC Tuesday, Work Wednesday, Leave Thursday, Work Friday...WEEKEND!

And its gonna be a long weekend for me...=) *Big Grin*... I'm taking leave on Monday again! Woot...

I need this break...from the madness at the office...

Its kinda, in a teeny tiny way sad that I have very little drive in what I do in this job now... I guess the lack of appreciation and the adding of negative feedback and shit talking only makes it that way...

It's ok, i only need to hang it out for about another...hmmm.... few more months... =)

On a good note... The start of Saturday has been a good one...
1) Body clock woke me up at 8.30am.
2) Carpenter Chris and I helped mummy fix up her new IKEA cupboard.

and later...
3) Chris and I are going to his friend's place for hang-out session...(time to socialize)

Now... I'm gonna head to clear my cupboard cause come Monday, I'll have a new wardrobe! YAY!
The carpenters are currently working on the wardrobe in my parents room (the sound of the nail gun scares the shit out of mum, chris and I), then my bedroom cupboard, and then my OTHER bedroom cupboards...
(In case you're wondering y have 2, let me refresh your memory. Remember we converted my bedroom into a studio? so I've moved into the room next door. my clothes are still in my old room though...)

So anyway... I can't wait to clear out my clothes... I have a ton of clothes that i don't wear anymore, so they're gonna go into a garage sale ($$$Moooollaah$$$), AND some are
going to my cousin in Perth...

Which means...MORE ROOM FOR MORE CLOTHES!!!

Oh yeah... and here's a picture of the new addition into the Tan family... so darn cute...
This was taken almost a month ago!Last weekend I went by and took more pics, haven't uploaded them onto the comp yet... soon! maybe tomorrow...
