Non-Panic Days
Some perks gained working here:
1- Free food.
2- Free tickets to concerts.
But I declined the free tix to Sunburst tomorrow. And I'm shooting pies today which means free food.
You know, its really funny to see how stupidity hits everyone from time to time without knowing age limit. Each time we remind ourselves to grow up and be mature (or maybe in some cases, reminding others), but there's gonna be times we end up acting like a high-school kid yet again, without noticing.
Chances Are
Its pouring cats and dogs outside and the room’s temps is going lower. The remote is spoilt. Sitting right underneath the air-cond without a jacket, I’m dangerously frostbitten by the degree of coldness.
I went home 5ish this morning. My first after two weeks of super-calm days at work. Grab big breakfast and had ‘em whilst watching Kungfu Panda at home.
I was on my last bite when I stopped and think ‘I’m gonna miss this if I ever call it a day.’
The late-night work.
The lack of sleep.
The very early breakfast.
The smooth traffic.
The balmy weather at midnight.
The bird-chirping and me tucking into bed.
I’ve been spending a good deal of time planning for the after-marriage. Should I quit my lovely work now and finally have the guts to venture into the photography world? Or maybe I could finally realize my family’s dream of opening up a cafe. Or am I gonna end up being a boring housewife? (I doubt MN will let me). A lot of thinking and planning and asking around for opinions.
This is the biggest turning point in my life.
I have just started to love my work as a copywriter. Advertising teach me hard lessons. At the same time, there’s a few photography offers thrown at me too. I have to pass it over as I'm not able to commit due to my full-time McJob.
And then there’s marriage. And MN’s new found job with a renowned news agency. At the back of my head is always the Berlin project I’m delaying (the exhibition’s gonna take place this summer). Super, super slammed matters in hand.
We have a lot of things to do, goals to achieve. And more challenges that’s gonna swing by next i.e kids and building up a happy family.
Sometimes, I ask myself - will I be able to cope?
Surprisingly, I’m more than willing to take all the risk. Chances are, I’m gonna make it through. I've been through so much there's nothing I can't take.
At this moment, I just want to switch off the air-cond and make myself some hot cuppa.

Toast
I'm back in the game :)
I have to give a big thanks (and hugs) to Fizah for the introduction to Carol and Julian who personally hired me for their cousin's (Ben) wedding. We shot for seventeen hours but its definitely a worthy one. I have to give lots of credits to MN for watching my back, supporting me when I thought I have lost my magic triggers and fixing my speedlight. Credit also goes to Chua (my ex-classmate in LimKokWing) who did a damn good videography slideshow within a very limited time. It was hell a challenging ceremony but everyone did their best and thats certainly awesome.
We had a fantastic day!
More here.
And as a self-reward, got myself a Four Million Dollar Home. Nothing fancy as Cockney & Wickey but it makes me all giddy already! Teehee. My darling fiance thought it would be a good motivation for me to continue snapping so he just grab the crumpler from my hand and paid :P
It could fit one body, one lense and a speedlight. I dont think I would carry much, so. Its all good.
*happppppy*

2 things
I’m happy for two things:
1- I found most of my ‘beyond reach’ schoolmates on fb
2- I was assigned by my boss to do a food photography for his client
Did a test shot yesterday and the result was a bit disappointing. I wish the pies could move and have expressions and wont look too depressed. This is my first try on food photography so I’m more than determine to make it work. If I could do this, that means another door of opportunity is going to open up for me.
Food styling and photography is not an easy task to do. Played with the most minimal of things- a table mat and that was it. Its a ‘if you have nothing to say, than shut up’ kinda thing. I did a little bit of research on the net for some food photographer and I have to say, I favor Lara Ferroni. She makes a boring marcona almonds and mushrooms look amazing effortlessly.
She cooks, she travels, she takes breathtaking pictures and she gets free food samples.
Isn’t that great? She even makes me love serif fonts!
