“It’s my wedding!”

Was covering a wedding and here’s some of the interesting conversation that went on…

groom: so, we won’t be doing any table to table shots

me: oh, that’s good, so you have more time to mingle around

groom: is there anyway to do away with the yum seng?

me: yeah, some people just do a toast

bride: … but my dad wants the yum seng…

groom: … but it’s my wedding!

me: alrite… you guys decide

… night went on with yum seng (and tons of confetti), but no table to table photos. after everyone left,

groom: … it’s your dad’s wedding:P (jokingly)

way to go dude!:)

The Bali itinarary

2 weeks from now, i'll be in Bali, enjoying the sun, the sea and the company of friends:)

so, i'm tasked to draft up an itinarary of the trip. i've done abit of research, not too extensive, but i guess, there's so much i can do in one week. and i'm not about to plan a super tight schedule where i touch and go at places. tht's just not my kind of travelling. and the rough plan goes like that,

23rd Arrival. I will only arrive at night, so the rest of the guys can plan something in the afternoon when they arrive.

24th Beach activities (surfing, jetski..etc.)

25th Lembongan Island day tour (I think we can do snorkeling there if we want). I heard from friends that this place is beautiful… i think i can trust them:)

26th North bali (to the mountains, volcanic region) Jalituwih (world heritage, with plentiful of rice terraces), Kintamani, etc

27th Check out, go to next hotel. Since this is the last 2 days I'll be in Bali, I plan to stay in somewhere isolated, away from the masses. I think Waka Gangga looks really good, abit pricey, but I hope the rest will agree. Relax and perhaps travel to nearby areas (UBud, Tanah Lot.. etc)

28th The main party me behind!:~( I'll just stay around and relax before I head back to work on Monday

29th Leaves Bal.

making a return, back to bali

just a week ago, just when i was complaining to everyone else that i havent had a break for a loooooooooooooooooong time, kat send me an msn msg, asking if i'm keen in heading to bali over the hari raya weekend. it all seem so coincidental, as i was writing on another window with a friend about doing the same thing. i met kat and mirko at irene's wedding last year in surabaya. strangely, we met at 3 other different locations before finally meeting up in singapore in feb this year. first it was in surabaya for irene's wedding, then we met again in bali for the mini honeymoon. a week later, we met again in taipei for the wedding reception. 2 months later, i was posted to germany for work… and not surprises, we met up again while in germany.

well, this time, we're going to have a reunion in bali:) we're going to catch the waves at kuta and hopefully see a prettier bali in good weather. after a week of discussion on how we're gonna get there, how i can cope with my work and all… i finally booked the air tickets (before they all get fully booked up). because of the really late booking, i din manage to secure the dates with favourably timings, so i decided to extend my stay for 2 extra days after they leave… to perhaps spend some time with myself… do some soul synch-ing.

for now, i just need to figure out wht we will be doing there and… wht i'll be doing after everyone else have left. spend some time in lembongan alone? ubud? or uluwatu?:)

Steve Irwin’s gone… :~(

i heard the news over the radio while heading home. it's just so sad. i've always enjoyed his shows, even though i find him eccentric and all… but he's still a great guy, someone tht come across to me as sincere and passionate about his work. not just bullshitting about wht he can do with crocs and all. it's a great loss to the world. Animal planet will never be the same again:(

Timeless – Wedding Photography Exhibition

Finally, our first public display of any kind… not counting those done in art classes in school. The display is at tunnel linking city link to the esplanade. Photos will be up for roughly 2 months, with a 1 week break in between i think. Anyway, here are some snaps on the “making of…timeless”… hmmm…how strange.

The guys putting up their works… total of 6, including all 4 photographers whose works will be displayed, Ngiap Heng (who allowed us to use this space) and his assistant.

Eadwine at work. ok, he was late… resulting in lunch subsidy for us:)

Ron, before the art of weddings… he has already mastered the art of changing frames:P

Lining up the frames so that we can swap the sequence later to ensure that the flow works for passerbys coming from either side of the tunnel.

an overview of the whole display area.

eh, tht's me… okie, read “freeman”… not “freelunch” photographer…:)

putting up the frames…

the man who made it all possible:) Thanks Heng!:)

everything has to be measured… to… hang.

Eadwine with his goofy look! okie, everyone else has 6 photos… he has 6.25. tht's the REAL reason why he has to subsidize lunch… 😛

taking photos of our labour of “love”:)

from left: Chi Kuang, Ron and me:) I know, i look small… no, it's because the frames are big… so are the rest of the guys:)

Love of mine, someday you will die…

i just love this song!:) brings back alot of memories many many years ago. nothing to do with the lyrics, but the way it was sung… but i still can’t figure out why.

I will follow you into the dark – Death Cab for Cutie

Love of mine some day you will die, But I'll be close behind. I'll follow you into the dark.   No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white; Just our hands clasped so tight, Waiting for the hint of a spark. If heaven and hell decide, That they both are satisfied, Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs:  If there's no one beside you, When your soul embarks; Then I'll follow you into the dark.   In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule, I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black, And I held my tongue as she told me, "Son, fear is the heart of love." So I never went back.   If heaven and hell decide, That they both are satisfied, Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs:   If there's no one beside you, When your soul embarks; Then I'll follow you into the dark.   You and me have seen everything to see; From Bangkok to Calgary. And the soles of your shoes are all worn down; The time for sleep is now. It's nothing to cry about, 'Cause we'll hold each other soon. The blackest of rooms.   If heaven and hell decide, That they both are satisfied, Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs:   If there's no one beside you, When your soul embarks; Then I'll follow you into the dark. Then I'll follow you into the dark.
