Raymond Phang Photography has a BIIIIIIIG plan for coming year 2011, and this involves trottering to the land of the milky cows next year in April!! 

.
.
. 

I bet you guys must have watched at least 1 episode of the movie – Lord of the Rings. Well, few years back before the movie production started, we thought we could sneakily fly ourselves to them for the movie casting, get ourselves chosen and earn some quick bucks.
.
.
.
 
 

Raymond was hoping he could land himself in the role of the handsome Legolas and all… but unfortunately his hair wasn’t long enough, and his botak head couldn’t hold the wig well, so he got kicked out. The director wanted to use his botak head as a prop or reflector, but Raymond declined the offer and continued photographing weddings back here in Singapore.
 
.
.
 

Susu wanted to be Gollum cos she thought Gollum looked reeeeally special, especially with the husky voice that goes “my prrrrreciouss”…  But too bad Susu didn’t make it to the cut cos all she thought about was the Onion Ring from Burger King, plus the late night intensive gamings during the previous nights made her eyes looked ultra sleepy. Gollum was supposed to have bigger eyes, or should I say soulful eyes. In the end Susu got sent back, and reluctantly came back to RPP doing Digital Imaging work.
.
.
 
 

I was eyeing to play Frodo. Being the most bimbotic of all, the reason I gave was simply because Frodo was supposed to be a Hobbit, and Hobbit sounds pretty cute, like rabbit!! Unfortunately I did not make the cut as well with that un-cute sausage lips of mine which looked like they chewed on land mines and exploded a million times over. So here I am, back in SOHO growing roots infront of the computer and expanding the base around my waistline.
.
.
.
 
 
Life went on, and one fine day, the calling came for us to create our very own fantasy! We have finally decided to come up with this plan to fulfill our dreams. Come April next year, the LOTR rejected cast will set foot on the New Zealand soil (both the north and south island), to stage our very own version of the LOTR!! But us being weirdos, forever thinking out of the box and all, decided on our own movie title –  the Lord of the Onion Rings – The return of big fart king!! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
.
.
.
 
 
 
 
Presenting the rejected cast of LOTR – original cast of Lord of the Onion Rings – The return of big fart king!!
MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! 

.
.
.
 
 
 

Staring: Raymond as Arwen – maybe Legolas is a bit too far fetched, but Arwen has the long flowy hair too. Raymond has got like 4 months to grow his hair to be long like Arwen’s, so shouldn’t be a problem. Kekeke.
 
 
 
 

Susu will play Gandalf this time round, but because we will be working hard on the laptop at night when we get back to our inn after a day’s adventure, I guess Susu won’t be able to rid the sleepy eyes too. So this is Gandalf Susu with sleepy eyes, and still thinking about the Onion Rings.
 
 
 
 

I will play Gollum this time round. No special reason, well, maybe because Gollum sounds cute, like Goli (marble). Round round one… Muwahahahaha~!
 
  

We are inviting 2 pairs of couples to join us for a pre-wedding photoshoot scheduled in between our personal adventures!
 
  

We will be spending most of our personal time chasing cows, scaring sheeps, baking ourselves silly under the sun until smoke comes out, rolling all over the green green grasses and cow poo, drooling and snoring like sea and thunder,  stuffing our faces with food, dozing off on the road and trying to jab each other’s eyes to keep ourselves awake while driving etc.
 
  

Currently we have already garnered the support from Hero and Heroine like Colin & Emily for South Island of New Zealand, scheduled for 8 April 2011. The couple has been most helpful, sharing with us information and bought us pancakes to munch on when we met them on Wednesday!!
 
  

If you would like to join us for the pre-wedding photoshoot session at an attractive rate, email us now to contactme@raymondphang.com for further details and date schedule for the pre-wedding shoot (North and South Island)! This blog entry will evaporates into thin air right in front of your monitor within 5 seconds when the remaining 2 positions have been filled.
 
  

We are sooooooo looking forward to this adventure, and Raymond’s brains are pumped with tons and tons of creative juices!! Totally hyped up for this shoot, and I’m sure the images will literally blowwwwwwww your mind!!  Hehehe~
 
  

So email (contactme@raymondphang.com) / SMS (8138-3397) / call (8138-3397)  us now if you would like to have a pre-wedding shoot done in New Zealand next year in April 2011 by Raymond Phang Photography aka the rejected cast of the LOTR!! Muwahahahahaha!! Cheers!!

Their gatecrashing games was also one of the most memorable where Guan Lim had to lick off whipped cream from one of the brother’s toes. Muwahahahahaha!! Totally gross, but I like the idea! So I included it in my list of gatecrashing ideas entry. To the dearest evil kind hearted and innocent sisters or brides to be who are desperately seeking help and cracking their heads off thinking of games to play for Gatecrashing, click http://www.raymondphang.com/blog/2010/gatecrashing-ideas-inspiration-tips-tricks

Hehehehehehe. ;p

.

.
Okie back to the Taiwan trip, it’s my first time in Taiwan, and Guan + Jes were kind enough to bring us around! They were so pro and familiar with the streets and lanes and alleys, so whatever you do, just follow closely behind them you’ll be on the right track! We went to soooo many places from Taipei （台北） to Tai Chung （台中）to most of the major night markets such as shi lin ye shi （士林夜市），shi da ye shi（師大夜市），rao he ye shi（饒河夜市）, the famous shopping belt (wu fen pu/五分铺)， 西门町 and IT Geek’s paradise guang hua shang chang (光华商场), my most favourite place jiu fen (九份)!!

Fuwah! I like jiu fen precisely because it is an old town. I tend to like things associated with old… but maybe not in few years down the road when I officially gain the title of Auntie-ship. :p

Some pictures taken with my dummy camera, some with Raymond’s camera. But because he had no time to look through and do the editing, I had to do everything this time round, so enjoy the pictures!

First time flying with Eva Air

Goofing around before we check in..

At Changi Airport – Terminal 1

Guan Lim and Jeslin waiting for boarding

The meal served… I finished the fruit, the bun and brownie cake!

Main course – Chicken with rice and broccoli.

Poor Raymond didn’t manage to eat anything because he was more interested in sleeping. He’s actually been working on a batch of editing, and finally completed about 1-2 hours before our flight time! So end up we had to once again, rush and drive a little faster than usual to reach the airport in time.

So nice of them to put a little sticker right infront of Raymond’s seat so that when he wakes up he’ll see this.

Landed, cleared customs, took a Taxi and since we are all youths, we checked in to YMCA Taipei! MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

The room was pretty big, with a bathroom in the living room, a huge balcony, 2 rooms, and 1 ensuite bathroom as well!

After we dumped all our bags and stuffs, we went trottering around the city.

First stop, one of the must visit stall for the couple whenever they visit Taipei!

This stall sells a huge variety of food poked through little skewers. You’ll have to pick the ones you like and place them in the red basket, the chef will then prepare them for you, by boiling them in a special pot of gravy sauce.

While the boys were busy queuing outside for the food, I snapped a picture of my bargain buy! A dual slot adapter for my micro SD adapter, and also 2 pieces of Sandisk 16gb micro SD card! I cannot remember the price, but it was a good buy so we grabbed them! It’s supposed to be placed in my PSP, but my PSP is currently rotting in one deep dark depressing corner… no time to play!

Here comes the foodie!! It’s actually two super huge plates of food consisting of yummy noodles, fishcake, mushrooms, egg, cabbages, chilli sauce, beancurd skins, luncheon meat, and the weird weird black looking thing which they conspired to cheat me into eating! We’ll talk about the conspiracy later, but more on the food now. Wah this plate of messy looking thing is actually power packed with lots of flavour!! Sooooo rich in flavour, the gravy is not oily and not sticky, the cabbage is soooooooooo sweet that it’ll make you suspect whether they’ve actually planted the cabbage in a plot of Sugar Land! The noodle looks like any ordinary instant noodle, but with the sauce, it really tastes heavenly! *drools*
 

This black piece of thing, is actually PIG’S BLOOD!!! They bluff me and say it’s glutinous rice… I didn’t quite like the texture, but ate it anyway… have to give face mah!!!

The two culprits!!!

Finished dinner, we went for walk walk, snacking along the way with fruits and ice cream!

The little tiny shops along the alley sells pretty unique clothings and accesories for ladies! We went into this shop while the guys were Q-ing for icecream/yogurt, there were tons and tons of beautiful hairbands, keychains etc! I saw a few that I like, but they were pretty pricey, so I see only. Then I saw another keychain which I super duper love! A wooden keychain with a picture of this cute little cartoon character. Didn’t get it in the end too cos of the price. Well I guess maybe because it’s a pretty popular spot with non stop crowd and very high flow of human traffic, so the rental must be pretty expensive too.

Next we went to a litte pub to chill out! It’s really little… very crampy at the upper level, the steps were super duper steep too!

Not forgetting the place was a little warm, even Jeslin had to bun up her hair~
 

We ordered some beer and while waiting, Guan was happily snapping away.

Reviewing the images~

One of the beer we ordered was super horrendous, smells like the chinese medicinal ointment, and tasted like cough syrup.I cannot remember what flavour the beer was, but in any case, they left the entire bottle pretty much untouched after that one fateful sip.

At ximending!! A place for the hip youngsters!

Outside the toilet within the compound of MacDonald’s.

One of the stalls selling cheap clothings! It’s really depressing shopping in Taipei if your figure is a little bit big. Raymond gave up finding shoes because he couldnt even fit into the biggest available size they have in Taipei. When he was browsing through some jeans, the shopkeeper came over and told us don’t bother to try because no matter how Raymond try to squeeze, he will never fit into the jeans. SO UPSET AND DEMORALISING!!!

But think of the bright side, at the very least the shopkeepers are honest! They won’t lie to you and tell you things like “Go ahead and buy it! This looks good on you, confirm can fit, don’t need to try!”

Raising my eyebrows~

The sharp shooter!

SO VULGAR!

It’s actually part of the banner hanging across the shop. Hahahaha!! It’s an exaggerated and vulgar way of saying it’s damn good to eat.

Hehehehehe… We also took some shots of Guan in various poses, but cannot share here! :p

Muacks muacks!

In the middle of the street, no cars! We strolled and shopped all the way till late night!

Some portrait of Jeslin against the graffiti wall.
 

I actually had diahrrea the entire night and couldn’t sleep well. Up till next morning, stomach still wasn’t feeling too well, so I had to stay in the room while they went down for brekkies first. So Jes made me this super bitter yucky chinese drink with damn potent powder supposed to stop diahrrea. I drank it all up and felt a little better, so we went out altogether. I wondered how come the air was so dusty and everything looked pretty blurry to us. End up my parents texted me that there’s news of Sand/Dust storm reported in Taipei.

Lunch at the Din Tai Fung in Taipei!

Resting aching feet at one of the drinks stall in Wu Fen Pu.

It’s a super messy place for first timer, and confirm you’ll miss out on one of the lanes, but Guan and Jes was so experienced!

Yeah, this is a motion blurred picture, but I like it.

Trying out more food!

Trying out steaks!

Wooooo, yum yum!!

The snacks they have are all sooooo delicious!! My favourite has to be the giant crispy chicken cutlet/chop, and also the hu jiao bing （胡椒饼）! Wah can never forget the smell and aroma… the ka-zi ka-zi sound when you bite into the pipping hot piece of crispy chicken. Sooooo crispy and the marination of spices makes everything tastes nice! The meat is not very tough, and definitely not very dry! Oh my hu jiao bing… Jes and I had to queue for quite some time to purchase 5 of the buns… crispy on the outside, soft and sooooooo chewy on the inside! I’m fascinated with the texture of the dough! How can something taste so Q!! The fillings inside the bun was pretty generous too, and you might want to be careful when you take a bite, because the soup/gravy/oil will pe-zi out unexpectedly! 

Which reminds me that it was also my first time trying chou dou fu (臭豆腐) too!!! Raymond forced me to take a bite and I was extremely reluctant to because the smell was too pungeant I could puke instantly if I take another whiff!! End up that one single bite I took confirmed my dislike for the smelly beancurd. Super duper smelly and I cannot understand why people like to eat something that is so smelly!!! What’s worse is the taste will linger in your mouth like forever even after you’ve brushed your teeth, scraped your tongue and also the insides of your cheek for the Nth time!! Horrible horrible!!

Raymond loves the shooting games. He had to use the air gun to hit all the ballons on the spinning wheel to win a prize.

Next up, Guan’s turn. He had to shoot the plastic holder and make sure it tears and drop onto the net in order to win the amount of money taped to the plastic holder. Bullets were cork pellet, not easy to aim and shoot!!

Then I bought a Harajuku Lovers perfume! I bought one in Aussie few years back and both the one in Aussie + Taipei is cheaper than Singapore! Also bought a few cans of giant beer!! Cannot remember how many litre was this!! One person cannot even finish, and we bought a can back for Raymond’s dad.

Reach back at the hotel, my stomach aches again. So I tried to negotiate business with the toilet bowl. Who knows this time it’s CONSTIPATION… Jes’ medicine was super duper potent indeed!!! O_O”

Took a first class train to Tai Chung! The train station and system was a little messy with a few different typs of train available.

But I was impressed with the first class cabin! The leg room is soooooooooooooo freaking spacious, seats were all clean and comfortable, there’s a train cabin master assigned to the first class cabin, free flow of peanuts/drinks. You can even bring your own food/drinks on board, and you won’t get a fine! Another amazing thing, you can actually turn the seats around to face the people behind you. Of course you do that only when you have your friends/family sitting behind, else it might be very awkward for the stranger having to face you for the whole journey.

Paul the Octopus when he was young? Hahahaha! I still think it looks disgusting!

The place where we had a good treat to authentic local coffee!
 

Crampy face

A different train on the way to jiu fen, but equally impressive too!! Very clean and spacious!

My favourite placeeeeee!!

The coupe deciding what to order. 95% of our journey was spent on eating. =_=”

The lu rou fan (卤肉饭) is something you must try in Taiwan! They usually come in a small tiny bowl, with a scoop of brown gravy and fatty meat on top. Very, very sinful, but very, very yummy!! Another rice you must try would be the you fan （油饭）. It literally means oily rice from a direct chinese translation. I love it like crazy. Although the name says it’s oily rice, it’s actually not oily at all! It doesnt have ingredients like prawns or carrots or ikan bilis insde, it’s just a normal looking plain brown colored rice. Nothing that will catch your eyes. But once you try it….. WAH!! You wonder how come something that looks so plain can taste sooooo nice!! I really wonder how they cook all the dishes… and I wonder why we cannot find such flavours locally in Singapore. I am also very amazed by the fact that so much sinful food, so much eatings to do, and the people still managed to stay so slim! Everyone of them!! *Jealous*

Choosing sour plums. So many varieties to choose from!

” Hmm… this basket want to bully me, wait till I chu my power! Touch me one more time and I….”

” Shit, I’m on camera… this idiotic botak human spoil my plan…..”

A nice group photo of us at this quaint little tea house. Very nice and serene atmosphere, and you’ll really feel like composing some chinese poems and sipping chinese tea at the same time. Too bad I had a glass of fruit juice, cos the grumpy me just felt like having some juices. :p

Final take!!

Wah i super duper love this photo if not for the cropped off lantern. I could have cloned it off, but it’ll look too empty there for my liking, so I left it as it is!

Another of my super love photo!

We went into this little shop call Lavender Cottage or something, and they sell very cute stuffs, all plants and Lavender related! Jes and I ended up spending a lot of time in that shop, buying quite a number of stuffs. Because I’m a person who likes music, and I’m also attracted to all things with music (probably explained why I picked the Music Harajuku Lovers in the first place), so when I saw they had acrylic photo frames where you can pull the tab and music will go off, I fell in loveeeeeee… What’s also special is that they music pieces are all unique and a few are composed by their in house pianist/composer! NICE!!

They also had a choo choo train set, nice lavender pillows for babies, and lots of other stuffs! I think I’ll go back there again if I ever visit Jiu fen the next time.

I love the old town flavour

MUWAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, Music stuff again! My pair of music flippers bought from jiu fen! Cheap cheap!!

That’s also where I got my caps! Mr Spongebob actually saw me through quite a number of pre-wedding shoots. Hehehe.

Back to more shopping since it was the last day.

I like this picture because I find the shapes pretty interesting.

At the airport, having our brekkies and ready to fly back home.

I like the warm and cold contrast.
 

A little overblown, but I like it anyway. Looks good enough to eat. Hahaha!

Okie dokie, that’s all for a personal entry! I’ll probably try to update a mix of work and personal related stuff from time to time so that you guys can have a better idea on who we are outside Photography as well. Hehehe. Good night everybody!!

Lots of ♥,

Finally I mustered whatever little courage that I had left inside of me, I composed a text message on my trusty old Blackberry, closed my eyes and pressed the Send button. Raymond happened to be sitting at the desk next to me when I sent out the text message. That wretched SMS tone took forever to come, and when it finally rang from Raymond’s mobile phone, my eyes brightened! I was suuuuuuuper excited yet kind of shy to see how he’d react after seeing my text message!

The following is the text message I sent;

The following is a recipe for a happy marriage;

                    Start with a big bowl of Trust

                         Pour in a capful of Patience

                         Add a dash of Forgiveness

                         Stir a spoonful of Kindness

                         Sprinkle a palmful of Encouragement

                         Sweeten with plenty of Couple Time

                         Spice things up with lots of Surprises

                         Top it all with a generous serving of Passion

Are you willing to cook a meal of happy marriage together with me on

20 Nov 2011 Sunday?

I watched how his face turned from black to bored to puzzled to happy to delighted when he was disrupted from his photos editing to read the text message.

Yes, that was a proposal coming from ME. So did he say yes? NO!

Trust me when I tell you I almost cried when he’s reading the text message. Too happy mah! End up I got rejected. Tsk.

You must be wondering why 20 November 2011. Because…. that happens to be a Sunday, that’s next year meaning sufficient time to prepare, that’s a nice number, that’s an easy to remember date, and that also happens to be my birthday.

Anyway, that wasn’t the first time my proposal got rejected (my courage got lesser and lesser with every rejection. Sigh!). You guys do realise that Valentine’s Day falls on the first day of the Lunar New Year right? Know what I did depsite having to focus on my work and album layout? I specially took some time to bake Pineapple tarts. Not just any Tom Dick Harry’s, or Aunty Lucy’s Pineapple tarts. I baked some reaaally special pineapple tarts! And because we didn’t have a proper baking oven here at SOHO, I actually spent much longer time GRILLING them. Luckily it was quite a success!

(Don’t mind the wording on the top right, it was for my personal blog)

I made an effort to create something for Raymond – a smiley face! Which is what makes the pineapple tarts special, cos I made it with him in mind, and definitely with lots of Love!

And then, here comes the Love message. Something lovey dovey which I don’t normally do or display.

Besides the lovey dovey wordings, I attempted to make a heart shaped one as well! Not very successful, but at least I tried! I also made one shaped like our doggie’s poopoo. Kekekeke.

I hope my tarts managed to show how happy I was when I was making the pineapple tarts! I made a volcano tart (at the background), super mini tarts about the size of my little thumbnail, and I even make one shaped like a snake!

And then, here comes the point of it all…. Can you figure what’ this?

It’s actually a DIAMOND RING! I made a smiley face, I ♥ U, I also made a proposal ring!

When it’s finally done, I presented to him and did he say yes? NO!

.

.

Sigh…. after numerous times of trying, my ego kena deflated already. Not forgetting I’m quite a traditional/conservative person with the thinking of an old fogey. If you were Raymond, won’t you be pretty touched by the sweet little things that I’ve done? You would say yes right?

Sigh…. I shall leave the popping of question to Raymond instead then!! Maybe demand a 10 carat as a form of compensation for causing such trauma to my poor little soul. HUMPH!

Or perhaps if I made one pineapple tart in the shape of a camera or his favourite prime lens or his favourite car or his favourite laptop he might say yes….. Darn!! Now why didn’t I think of that!!

=_=”

Okie dokie, you guys enjoy your weekend while I nurse my wounded soul ya? Cheers!!

Actually I feel really blessed to have known them, especially couples like Guan Lim & Jeslin, Jack & Grace, Michelle & Sam, Desmond & Jolene, Jonald & Yutong, Andrew & Clarice, Richard & Wendy, Eddie & Aileen, Max & Mui Hui, Kok Meng & Cassie, Edwin & Eunice and a whoooooooooooooooooooolesome lotssssssssssssssssss moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! In fact we love them all for inviting us to be part of the special team for their biggest day, and also very appreciative that they engaged us because they genuinely love our works and not because we’re “spares”. Much more than that, we’re really really happy that we get to take the relationship further from being just clients, to friends and very good friends! So looking forward to Year 2010, and hopefully meet more interesting characters!!

Year 2009 was pretty fruitful with the achievements Raymond bagged from the [AG]WPJA – Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association, the MPA – Masters Photographer Association, establishment of the Wedding Photographers Guild, collaboration with the preservation of monument board and CDL in producing the book – Resonance Songs of our Forefathers, addition of Susulini the DI artist to our family, and lots lots more! Learnt a lot of things, widened our horizons a bit with the travellings and attending the Schembri workshops in Sydney, plucking enough courage to drive overnight from Sydney to Gold Coast within a day etc!

Come to think of it, even though Year 2009 has been 365 days of work for us, it’s actually still pretty colourful!

Now for my Year 2010 resolution: Stop work at 12 midnight, start work at 7am, find one activity to do together with Raymond (we’re pretty lifeless cos of work!), spend more time with family & friends, eat more fruits! That’s all for now! Maybe i’ll get susulini and Raymond to share some day!

Okie now, here’s some images from my personal snap snaps collection. Hehe.

I actually fed the machine with 2 dollars and out came this love struck looking froggie… I got this because Raymond was mad at me for some reason which I cannot remember. So next morning I went over to his place, outlined the shape of my hands and fingers, cut and folded them in such a way that the middle finger is pointing out, stuck it to the body of the frog and pinned the whole thing to his mirror!

I find it funny cos the whole idea of it is funny to me, and at the same time it gets to express my anger and frustration too… Oh well, things I do to “spice up” our relationship. :p

Bought this during our furniture hunting at IKEA few months back. Raymond likes it a lot.

Sometimes he’s really sweet cos he actually bothers to take time off work and divert his attention to me by doing little things like sewing my buttons back for me when it dropped off.

Interesting things we spotted together..

Having late night supper… it’s actually lunch + dinner combined in the middle of the night after 12 midnight!

Sharing a biiiiig mug of hot chocolate..

Yesterday I spent half the day accompanying my friend Shahidah. I call her Shark He Duck, or Duck for short.

I know I have a lot of emails to reply, but Duck is having some personal problems and she needed someone to talk to…

Raymond and I puts relationship above everything else, so instead of sitting down replying emails while she talk and share her problems, I felt that someone who needs a listening ear deserves all the attention…

Tried to cheer her up so I suggested snapping pictures!

Glad it made her smile…

SUCH AN OBSCENE PICTURE!

Duck and I knew each other since 1997, and she’s like one of my best friend… such a coincidence we’re both wearing checkered top!

Then I suggested playing with faces!

A picture of the naked face…

A picture of the painted face!

Duck has a big eyering, floral murals, bird (which I cannot tell!), stitched up wound, sun, and a Mr Pringles look alike face.

I had two uneven eyebrows, some wrinkles on top, double eyelid, arrow love, whiskers, pink nose, mustache, moles and eyebags.

This image is damn cool! Looked like I had fake teeth!!

That’s duck’s frontal view!

.

And here’s two images to share from our piles of backlogs of wedding images!!

Taken on 3 November 2009 for Scott & Wee-Li for their outdoor pre-wedding. Susulini came with us on that day and assisted. Very happy that the images turned out to be pretty nice! Sweet and cheery, bright and pretty!!

Taken on 10 November 2009 for Qi Wei & Hsiao Hui’s outdoor pre-wedding. Susulini joined us too, and we had a yummy dinner of Botak Jones right after! Love this series as well, and we really think Hsiao Hui looks like Zhang Zi Yi from certain angles!

We have a whole lot of other backlogs to share, some of which are already completed long ago. Do keep a lookout for more updates ya? Back to emails! Merry Christmas to all!!

And when my maid cooks, he’ll always doll himself up by wearing sexy outfits. Look, he’s wearing a tube top!

And sometimes, he’ll wear something to show his midriff. So sexy. Hehehe.

He’s always game for anything I suggest, so he’s a real good maid!

When I said Pink is for Girls, he took the Pink one and wore it on his head.

He doesn’t mind me looking like a Vampire when I was having my Braces on and needed to wear the “rubber band”

He didn’t faint when I made this Ping Pong Fishball pose infront of his camera.

He gets me local costumes of countries he travelled.

He snaps picture of me even though the quality of the camera phone was so bad.

When I say he’s not supposed to show people his nipples, he fry Sunny Sideup Eggs, deep freeze them in the freezer and then wore it over as a shield.

He celebrates my birthday.

He make it a point to celebrate my parent’s birthday too.

He’s so good to his buddy that he helped his friend Marcus source & rent a Projector & personally bring it down to Fullerton so that Marcus could propose to his wife – Kris.

And he’ll make do with just a piece of Towel alone for use as a blanket while I have to myself the gigantic piece enough to keep 3 persons warm.

He makes time to bring me out, and wears whatever clothes I picked for him.

Oh well, since it’s the new year, so I thought it’ll be good if I can do some mini think-back on the past year. I haven’t made any new year resolution (since I never make it a point to make sure I follow through), but maybe I’ll do a “Everyday I Love You” entry to jot down the nitty gritties on why and what made me love him everyday.

I guess it’ll help a lot in the decision making on marriage. OOPS! Did i just say marriage?? WAHAHAHAHAHA! And then I thought of a wonderful excuse for him to propose too!

Excuse of the Day – “Oh, because you have never brought me to Ford Canning before, and I haven’t been there since I was born too!”

Muwahahahaha! I thought of this excuse when I was looking through Stephan and Gam’s ROM pictures earlier on.

Alright, gotta sleep now already! Cannot believe it’s 4am, and I gotta wake up in an hour’s time! Happy New Year to all! Byebye!

Raymond with his cup of Avocado Snow. We met up with Desmond & Jolene for late lunch last Sunday at Heeren’s Dai Ka Jie Kitchen. So good to see them again!

So before they arrived, Raymond and I looked through the menu. Very tempting dishes they have, and I wanted to try them all! But must be practical abit, so I ordered the Sour Plum roasted duck and Granny mui’s roasted duck.

We preferred the Sour Plum version, which explains why this picture of the original roasted duck is not as nice. Hmm… Actually partly is because I was too excited to eat already, which was why I didn’t bother to continue snapping other dishes that came along afterwards. Hahaha.

We went to the redemption counter to redeem free 1st hour parking, and also had a go at their spinning wheel game thingy. Raymond and I were aiming for the green color, which is an F&B Voucher. I think that’s only like $20 worth, whereas the SPA Voucher has like $120 worth! End up I won a Tamiya toy car!!

Desmond was like saying winning a packet of tissue is better than winning this. Hahaha. True ah true. Tissue can use, but this toy car… Oh well… Maybe put in the safe deposit box till we have kids next time and let the kid play. =_=”

Next time let’s gather again for makan! Crab time!! Hahaha.

Gross picture of the seafood item called “gong gong”. Raymond pulled out the meat insde for me to snap.

Some pictures we took the other time during dinner with his sister at One Fullerton.

A pity the Merlion moved lah, that’s why blurry!

Pee-ing time!

 That’s the way to go man! Now we all know how Raymond looks like when he’s *eh-hem* peeing in the toilet.

Guess what’s this!

It’s actually a squirmy little worm!

Paiseh, post so many gross pictures today. Back to photos!

Anyway, Ann has a really good complexion! It’s no wonder she’s an air stewardess from SIA. And guess what, Vincent is a Pilot!! Wow, all the interesting occupation. Hmm… I wonder whether the 10 brothers and 10 sisters are working in the same line or not. Then Vincent was telling us how his gang of brothers and him are going to la kopi at the coffee shop and have prata if the sisters still refuse to let them in during the gate crashing. Make the sisters negotiate with them, ask for lesser ang pow money to make the brothers come back instead. Muahahaha!

In the midst of the meet up, Guan Lim called. Such a coincidence that I was just thinking of their Wedding the previous day, and then on the next day he called. Haha! We’ll be meeting up on the 30 September to discuss the schedule. Quite excited! Hope they are all set and ready for the big day! =)

Alright, here are some not nice pictures of Raymond during a corporate shoot.

Going up on the forklift, trying to grab angles of the exterior building. Dangerous!!

Just look at his expression. When he was done with the angle, he asked the driver to bring him down. But the driver heard wrongly, or accidentally pressed wrong button, lowered the bars forward instead of lowering it straight down. Luckily Raymond did grab hold of whatever he could grab hold of, else we can all claim insurance already. Accident at work. Hahaha.

Scared until pee in pants, so must drink water to replenish the lost fluid.

Every shoot involves a lot of sweat and tears.

Sweat is because the place was really warm and humid, and the weather that day was burning hot. Oh by the way, if there’s any person whom you dislike, go get a pair of Camel Active shoes and step on their toes. Try it, it’ll hurt like hell! That’s where the tears come…

Test shot.

Way up high on the fork lift again. It’s much safer this time round.

Ooops!! Undies exposed!! O_O”. Raymond must have been slogging too hard already, until the jeans became so loose. Awww…

Still can smile so happily at the camera! Hahahaha!! Bet when he sees his “Edison Chen“ exposed undies picture, I don’t think he’s able to smile anymore… =p

That’s stylo Ivan passing the camera to Raymond. He always dress up very stylo-ish whenever I see him around.

It was actually raining cats and dogs in the morning. But the moment we reached the place, the rain stopped miraculously! 3 times already.

Remember I saw a mouse trap?? This is the one!! First time I saw one right before my eyes.

Poor mousey, feeling super terrified and helpless. I was soooo tempted to let it go!! But Raymond said I cannot do that… =\

The Set up.

This is the inside of the Monstrous container truck. I hit my butt against the metal thing and I realised I need more calcium else I might be buttless the next time such things happen.

The inside.

Ivan’s sexy legs. Hahaha. Raymond said “you think you’re shooting wedding ah?” Muwahahaha.

They like this picture cos the reflection is pretty. But I made it so dark and sinister, it doesnt look pretty anymore.

Hmm… Alright, enough of the corporate shoots! I want to share some stuffs that I personally like! =D

Mr Swirly! Raymond shot this at Botanic Gardens during one of the Mentorship session with Uncle Patrick.

I thought this looked pretty disgusting. The red color plant…

PRETTY CAKES!!! Wow, the cakes in Japan are soooo delicate and pretty!! How to eat?? I haven’t been to Japan, but Raymond snapped this for me during his Osaka trip. I think I’ll go crazy if I were there. Japan must be the land of Cutsey stuffs!

WOW! FOOD!! This looks like our local Satay, but I wonder how’s the real flavour like. Hmm..

Some little fishies poked through sticks, and grilled.

I thought this particular doll looked really funny with the fishball eyes and pork bun ears. Hahaha. This is from China.

Cutsey stuff from Japan again!

Alright, end of sharing for now. More next time! =)
