New
Blog
We were sitting at the lunch table at
Shiau Chin’s house today and we concluded that we needed to do things together
more often. We started listing things that we could do together (travel,
exercise, watch TV programmes, language learning, etc…) until she said literary
writing. The discussion then progressed to blog writing, which I thought was
workable and could incorporate everything that we had discussed. We could blog
about all those things and more. Hence, here we are, typing things down for
friends, family and fans.
Wedding
Shoot
We just had our wedding photo shoot
last Saturday. We originally had no real idea about how to go about planning
for or preparing for the shoot, other than the material preparations that were
required. This was told to me some time ago and I had already prepared for this
beforehand. Shiau Chin said that we needed to look at different themes and
style and decide what kind of wedding shoot we wanted. In the end, the shoot
was the default kind that everyone got. I suppose that a cheaper wedding shoot would
mean a preclusion of choice of style. Given the sample wedding photo albums of
other couples, I predict that ours would be a mish-mash of different styles. I
am not complaining though, as I thought a wedding album would be something like
this. The quality of the albums and photos is also not to be frowned upon as I
thought the albums of other couples were rather well-done and designed. The
only concern I have would be how I would turn out in the album. I really regret
not having a haircut before the photo shoot. I would have preferred to have
shorter hair and sideburns.
What I liked about the Sense Wedding
was the very personal approach that the photographer and hairstylists took with
us. Shiau Chin and I were very unsure and uneasy at first about the whole
process. However, from the moment we stepped into the wedding gallery, they
talked to us to get us comfortable both with them and the environment.
Unfortunately, we did not get to know their names, which was quite impolite of
us. I was also unaware at first that the photographer and hairstylists did not
have their meal when we were having ours. I should have ordered something for
them, like drinks or snacks. This something I learnt that I must do in future:
to be more mindful of others.
In the end, I think Shiau Chin and I
had a really happy experience at the wedding shoot which was because of the
personable attitude of the staff. We have only to wait for results to judge if
the time and money spent was worth it.
