WPJA Contest Placings for Q4 2009

My third day in Hongkong now. Temperature has dropped almost 10degC since I arrived and it’s due to drop another 10 by tomorrow. That’s a good change from Singapore’s 35 – 36 degC “spring”. The shoot is going to happen in about 30mins time. This shoot is going to be “no sweat” for me. I’m sure.

And I’m happy that we’ve got 4 placings in the final quarter of the WPJA 2009 Contest. It’s one of those things that makes you smile after a year of making wedding images. It sounds kinda silly, but it’s like having exams. The morning I received the emails, I logged into the website via my phone while still in bed and scrolled through them one by one. It’s just one of those fun things that I miss during school… checking results (not all the time though! lol!). Many thanks to the couples who have given me the opportunity to do this.

Here are the images,

boys on the beach

I’ve forgotten how happy the boys were when they are at the beach, until Ken and Daphne’s wedding where they were kinda invited to the beach party:D I remember I brought them to the beach once, Kenji was sleeping under the shade while Kago was playing fetch. Good memories of old times. One of the gazillion images that we took that day.

To strike or not to strike

I was having dinner at my parent’s place last night and here’s an excerpt of a conversation I had with dad.

D: how do you say “tio beh pio” in english?

Me: “I struck lottery”

D: So “struck” means “tio”?

Me: Yup.

D: what about “tio summon”?

Me: ………… *tio snook*

LOL. I love talking to my parents.

hands crossed

i have a blister on my hand and listening to korean techno pop while photoshop is doing it’s work.

Some memorable stuff I’ve heard over the past week.

    Client called “I’m at your place already. Is it at the toilet bowl?” (My neighbour’s shop sells kitchen and bathroom stuff).

    Client said “I saw more diving pictures than wedding when I went to your blog” (when asked if he has checked out my website yet, good thing he’s a diver:))

    This one abit longer than a week, client said “my friend asked me, I thought you paid alot (ok, that’s not true :D) for a photographer to take your pictures? how come a JC boy (that’s not true either:P) turned up?” (But thank you, I take that as a compliment:P)

Amused

Ah… so that’s how it felt to be on the other side of the camera. After finishing up the family portraits for my (ex)housemate and his family, I got to carry baby Isaac. And they were busy making Isaac smile and the picture of 3 adults doing a “peek-a-boo” action in unison is just way too funny. Alright, it was fun. And credits to Eugene for the photo. See, anybody can shoot:)

Oh yes, let not my mum see this. Else, I’m gonna get a earful of nagging again.

lasting impression

Barely a week into the new year and I was tasked to take some family portraits for my (ex)housemate’s family. We had a little session out at the grasslands in the north of Singapore. When his mum saw me, she said, “so I heard you don’t eat and you survive on just tic tacs…”. So… that’s the impression I left on someone I’ve stayed under the same roof for about 2.5 years:D lol! Then she said again, “but you don’t look like it (someone who just survive on tic tacs)…”.

Actually, it’s true:x I used to think, “if you don’t work, don’t eat”. When I held a full time job, I used to skip meals on weekends. So when I decided to quit back in 2007, it was really hard to adjust… it’s much better now.

Just another late night post. More to come tomorrow!:D
