Announcement

Consider myself an amateur, giggling thoughts and sweaty hands - here comes my first wedding photojournalism. It had been long since Raquel’s wedding and to date, it’s almost a month since. I had been busy these few weeks for the full photo edits and I hope she likes it Really sorry for the delays and glad to announce that the photos (only) are ready to be deliver.

The Journey

It was 26 June 2008. I flew back to Kuching for this and heck it was so rush and hetic as I had little time for my family and friends but consider this a serious business trip of mine. haha. Day 2 - 27 June 2008, did some training and rehearsal alone at home and yeah I need to make use of my D80 at max. Clicked and tested. Hmph… results were unappealing and damn on, 3 dead pixels found… -.-’ Now am looking forward for D300 / D700 But uh, my lens… they are hot gears of mine.

Moving on, it was evening and I had my dinner with family at Bla3 (gonna update soon) before proceeding to Banquet for some private rehearsal. Glad the settings of the restaurant were better than expected. Did an hour of shoot outz (light & environmental test) in the restaurant. About 10pm, I went straight to Raquel’s home and my sister’s still there. The ’sisters’ of the bride were there too. We all hang out till 1am and here comes…

The night was young…

Raquel’s wedding gown and heels for tomorrow.

Wow,,, that’s RM1110 in total but the love shape doesn’t count and sum up to a total of RM900 but where is the RM99? hehehehe! It’s somewhere hidden I supposed

YS assisting in balloon pumping.

ZJ eating Tang Yuan.

The dowry were then decorated and zipped up in the luggage and prepare for tomorrow’s wedding.

Raquel’s heel.

Her colleague dropped by and helped out.

Browsed around and saw a row of Absoulte Vodkas. Uhm Uhm… collection.

The Panggang and Kuih were ready for tomorrow’s breakfast but damn I was so hungry on that night. hehe

Some snap shots of the wedding album. Nice collection!

CL made this ‘unique’ sushi for raquel’s husband tomorrow. Man, it’s simple to make your own sushi… just find some glutinous rice and add some fillings on it - and ready to be serve but…. isn’t this way too huge of a norm size of sushi… It’s round… -.-’

She blended some balsam juice too - for tomorrow. hehe. U know… the ’debates’ between ’sisters’ and ‘brothers’ before entering the bride’s house. I cannot imagine the bitterness of this >.<’ but hey, it’s healthy!!

Raquel wrote some memo just in case she forgot.

And the flower bands for the ’sisters’.. fake of course.

 Stay tune for more coming your way.
 

" Mark the reckon as ’stealth technology’ will be unveiled on this post - Swifting target on the feint. The US Military was spotted in Changi on some hawk spot mission and we’ll look into that later. Previously, we’ve spotted A380 on radar gliding through the skies of Singapore. Check the following pictures for a recap… "

Check out some of today’s private jet and jet fighters on the exhibition.

Need some private moments with your loved ones? This is the jet for you (If you’re a millionaire)!

A business aircraft and look at the Ferrari logo… aw that’s cute! It uses turboprop engine and blended wing body. [ Interior ]

A very limited edition for this. [ Interior ]

Cool turbofan well-covered.

I thought I saw Professor X patrolling the airfield - not. lol.

Now this F/A-18E/F is sitting in front of me. omg!

Standing in front of the hornet was this American pilot. A number of ladies would love to take photos with him… you know.

Another one gazing around.

Now here is the difference between the size.

Can you imagine the heat for this output?

HAHA! This is an odd aircraft (RQ-4 Global Hawk) but mainly used in the military for espionage and research.

It does looks like a helicopter - not as it’s main function is to compel situation awareness and precision targetting and we called this MQ-8 Fire Scout.

Another odd looking UAV.

Wow this is the great Apache of all time. Powerful indeed.

Think before you talk. That’s a lesson learned in life.

Goodbye to Changi Exhibition Centre and thanks for reading.
 

We’ve arrived far from Singapore, had our lunch at Suvarnabhumi airport, checked in our hotel, sight seeing around the city and now let’s continue on the journey of Halyconstudio in Bangkok. Here’s a recap of the photographers along the journey….

We arrived Central World at around 3PM and we’re feeling hungry somehow. Hmph… seemed like our lunch at the airport doesn’t fulfill much of our desire. Should you check back soon for our upcoming tea break at Central World.

Central World is one of the largest mall in southeast asia and consider a high class mall around city after it’s nearby rival,  Siam Paragon and Erawan. At it’s peak, wide and spacious interior outlook are much alike our very own KL’s Pavilion Mall - just it’s bigger! It’s wide choice of international and local retail outlets had dwelled shoppers around to spend more but pretty odd on weekdays as it seemed desserted during working hours. Perhaps I was there at the wrong time?

This is Central World. Black signage.. hmmm…

The building itself.

Inside Central World, you’ll see this beautiful winding design made of paper (I think).

You can easily spot the fountain outside the mall.

Tiny flowers along the pavements.

Huge TV advertisement by the road side. It’s really huge!

You can easily spot hindu shrines around the malls (shopping centers) anywhere in the city as Thai’s believed worshipping (or offerings) to god by building a shrine nearby could keep away negative forces from the premise.

The Ganesha Shrine was located right just in front of ISETAN (next to Central World).

This is the statue of Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati.

Sitting next to the Ganesha is the Trimurti shrine, which represents the 3 aspects of god; mainly Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Yeah… just like those names heard in Final Fantasy.

A Hong Kee gave her offerings to Ganesha & Trimurti shrine.

And surprisingly their joss stick are red in colour. Some shortcut abbreviation above

It’s a beautiful scene surrounding the Trimurti shrine as roses were placed on the fountain platform as offerings. Cleaners will throw those over stacked / decomposed roses.

After this, we were so damn hungry and head inside ISETAN for some air condition. You know… the weather was hot and the city was a bit humid and we’ve been outside shooting for quite some time. Stay tune for our tea break…

Previously on Halycon Outdoor Activities 1…

It was a great Sunday morning (09.03.08) and all 4 of us met up at Vivo City to have our breakfast before setting off to Sentosa. We were mumbling of what to eat until Bong said ‘YES’ to Superdog and we gave it a try. Having said it’s Superdog (Hotdog), I still had a weird choice of ordering Bacon Lovers with a hot cup of Classic Italian Coffee. After the meal, we proceeded to 3rd floor for our monorail ride to Sentosa at S$3 per pax.

My Bacon Lovers

Once we reached, immediately we knock on this signboard for some shoot out. So lucky there were a few people around.

My turn!

OMG… they love to play around the mini fountain.

Here’s what a bunch of 20 year old did when you’re not watching because they doesn’t want to be noticed…

Ah~ care to play sand castle with me? I mean… ugh!~ Sand castle…

Joey’s shoe being discarded.

Yeah, the sun was too striking. We hardly can open our eye especially me, you know… I got SMALL EYES! or what we called mata cepet eh? lolx…

Adidas advertisement for free!

They saw something…. or did not?

I love windy days…. seriously.. it’s calming thoughts.

And the monkey perform his stunt! wohoo! hihi~

Stay tune for Part 2.
