Lost.....

my handphone at Alexandra Hill this morning during a shoot.
Some numbers are missing, some calendar entries are gone, some sentimental messages/pictures/videos vanished.

If they somehow surface on the internet somewhere, let me know. Thanks. :(

I might only be contactable later today, after the replacement SIM card kicks into service.

Think Twice

A Taiwanese groom died of cardiac arrest after he was forced to drink by the over-100 guests he invited to his wedding banquet held at a high-end Taipei hotel. It was reported he was not much of a drinker.

So, next time you want to buddy buddy with the groom, think again....


Woman, thy name is water!

Max & Constance's wedding was held last month at Amara Sanctuary.
Now Max was the best friend of one of my old-time clients from Temasek Hall. He left a deep impression on me, as well as many of the guests present that day, because of a 45-minute multimedia presentation-cum-speech at that client's wedding. It was heart-felt, original, personal and dotted with funny anecdotes.

Incidentally, at Max' own wedding, that groom-now-turn-best-man reciprocated with a skit complete with life-size cut-outs and an all-star ensemble!

Constance was a complete unknown prior to the wedding except for the fact that she works for George Yeo, and helps distressed Singaporeans overseas look for the best laksa in foreign lands. Of course, other than this very important portfolio, she also has to deal with overseas emergencies or foreign political crises or natural disasters with respect to how help can be rendered to Singaporeans. All this require a cool head, quick thinking, and nerves of steel.

But when it comes to her own wedding, she's a romantic softie who goes all teary....this, my friends, is my type bride.

H1N1 Buster

According to Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan, the H1N1 virus will eventually hit Singapore.
So what shall we do? Get out of here, of course!!!

To take advantage of the drop in airfares, I am thinking of having an overseas pre-wedding shoot in August. Destination unknown. It's up to you to tell me. If it's a place that interests me, I will give you "SPECIAL".

So, pls drop in with your suggestions.

Mighty Alphrodite

After having Alex and Evita for a pre-wedding photography session, we arranged to have another session, but this time with Evita and her lovely sister and friends who flew in from Greece. (No, they did not fly in from Greece FOR the photography session, haha!)

Alex was telling me:" KC! You lucky son-of-a-bitch! You are going out with four gorgeous ladies?"

Well Alex, who's the lucky one? You're going to marry one of them!





Error of Judgement II

It seems that Singaporeans (at least from the look of 'mainstream' media) are quite cool about losing (buckets load of) money in bad investments. Temasek has lost US$4.6 billion on a US$5.9 billion investment in their Merrill Lynch-turn-Bank of America stakes. Given the fact that Temasek professes itself as a long term investor (10, 15, 20 years), it is puzzling why they should choose to realise their loss at this moment. Ironically, BoA share price has risen to US$11.81 since last night.

The Straits Times wrote a mildly worded piece on the episode to act as damage control, but I shudder to think what the citizens of other countries will be saying if this has happened in their countries.

Kudos to Singapore government for pre-empting any salvo being fired though, by graciously orchestrating a stepping down for Ho Ching. Let's hope the new CEO Chip Goodyear can live up to his name, literally, by providing a very "good year" to the people's investments.

Error of Judgement

At first i thought Lydia & Daniel are very serious people.
They looked really serious, did not talk much, and in my mind I was thinking :"Hmm....they will look cool with the no-hug, no-kiss type of pre-wedding photos."

It turned out that they are one of the most "ticklish" and giggly couples around. Much like how my son would laugh at a cough, a sneeze or a yawn made by his sister, Lydia and Daniel would giggle when I changed my lens, laughed when I drink water, and chuckled when I looked at them. That was how "ticklish" they were.

Ok, maybe I exaggerated a bit, but it goes to show that after all these years, I am still a bad judge of people.

They are fun to work with, easy-going, and I can't ask for more.
