wedding bells!
The wedding bells are ringing... this time it is Bee Suan aka Amy and Andy!
the wedding dinner last night was filled with emotions and surprises... to say the least.
EMOTIONS; it was that time when we meet friends from primary and secondary school after years... max at 15 years and min at 9 years. meeting up and just looking at them brings back memories of whatever happened in school... how nerdy we looked and short we are. hahaha. names might have changed a little but the faces somehow looked the same... especially the girls... as for the guys... facial hair tend to be a little toughy when trying to recognise. well, at the dinner last night was Benny Khoo (SSP & BB)... shyt... i only remembered him. couldnt reall remember their names... i think there was June Yap (aka Ee Ling? Yi Ling?), her husband Eddie (photographer for the night) and the rest were just from SSP. others that were there that i remember were Puay Gaik, Sheok Wan, Cheryl Lee, Ivy Tan... and a whole lot more.
as usual, there were tonnes to catch up on each other and the whole night were about chatting up on each other. haha. then came the after party... at Bar Celona. whole bunch of us (some left), including the heng tais and chee muis were all there... and this is SURPRISE part.
well, drinks arrived, 2 bottles of Chivas and a bottle of Vodka. hitz.fm was having some event there... music was pumping. girls got on their feet and started to strut their stuffs. dancing like mad... a scene that i never thought will ever happen in front of my eyes! its true what people say, people change as they grow up.... and hell yea they did! hahaha. mad dancing, chair dancing, going low low low lowwwwww..... haha. the bestmen were stripped of their shirts and that wasnt a very nice sight. hahahaha. even the groom went topless! hahahaha. as usual, i was drinking like a fish... seeing this long lost friends giving their all made me laugh... but it is ALLLLLLL GOOOOOOOOOD! hehehe.
Jo left after dinner as she had to attend a friend's Christmas party up in Klang and Benny was my designated driver for the night. left the club around 2ish in the morning... super high... down the drinks like a mofo! one of the bestman kena from me... downing the whiskey! hahaha. fun fun fun! from being awkward to best of friends in one night... ALCOHOL does gel everybody together...
like what Nelly Furtado would say, "All Good Things (Come To An End)". thanks Benny for the ride home and to all my fellow primary and secondary mates... it was FUN!
earlier in the day, i actually met up with Edwin Gan, Raveen K and also Kantha Ruban at OTWC, Uptown. OTWC? its Old Town White Coffee. another bunch of high school mates that i lost touch with since we left school. well, it was fun meeting up with them again. talkign about old school shyts that we do. haha. well, Raveen based in London now, Edwin is working in a Logistics company and Kantha is a doktor... based in GH. had a great time catching up with all of them... which only happens once or twice a year. so, thanks guys for inviting!
i shall talk about Christmas in my next post! hehe...
till then...
GO TRIGGER HAPPY!
CONGRATULATIONS!

Singapore & Such
im still delighted at my feat in my previous post. so, please dont blame me. it was my first time. LOL!
anyway, i recently went to Singapore for my Granny's birthday and i had a blast snapping pictures like there is no tomorrow. in my Granny's words... i SNAPPED the WHOLE of SINGAPORE. oh yes... everywhere i go, in and out of the house i will be with my camera. since they lived in a condo, the view was fantastic at the 10th floor. took a tripod and started snapping landscape and panorama shots. i cant help it. in total... i think i snapped almost 4GB of photos! and that is around 700 shots in just 4 days. it may not sound many but some might ask, what the heck did you photograph?!?!? well, jingle bells are round the corner... and YES, Christmas decorations! Singapore is pretty famous for that especially in Orchard Road. and i was exactly there!
though it was raining, it didnt dampen my hope of snapping photos. equipped with an umbrella and a tripod, drizzling rain is no problem. yes, my camera got wet, but not that wet. its still working though. the lights along the Orchard Road stretch were fantastic. with bright and colorful lights from Tang's, Atria, Takashimaya, Paragon, Shaw House, Wheelock and many others, the whole road was consistently jammed and slow as many of these drivers were busy admiring the lights from inside the car.
VIVO CITY; Singapore's latest shopping attraction was one of my destination as well. this new shopping centre is huge! with playgrounds and waterparks (mini one) similar of that at KLCC, it is considered as a major attraction for families and big groups of people. with the view of the Bridge leading to Sentosa and a river (i think), sunset was good. though it was drizzling (again), i was out there snapping up the landscape and architecture of Vivo City.
will be posting up the pictures SOON... in Flickr, of course. Facebook & Multiply will have pictures as well but not many. majority of my pictures will definitely be in Flickr. so please do visit my Flickr site yea!
well, dinner for my Granny was fantastic! all of us were dining at Crystal Jade Restaurant in IMM, Jurong and the 6 or 8 course meal was GoooOOOOOOoood! if im not mistaken, they have one in Malaysia as well right? hmmm, need those food craze and critiques to answer the question for me now. anyway, we had some soup for starters, lobster, fish, duck, prawn, vege, chicken and also dessert. i think there are more but i dont remember. the fish was mighty fine and fresh! really mouth watering dishes were served. dinner was EXQUISITE; enough said.
then we headed home for the birthday cake and some sing-a-long session. had some mango cream or something cake. was good. the whole time i was just looking at my granny's face; what i saw was happiness, pure happiness. the delight can be seen through her eyes throughout the whole night. i am personally very happy i was there for such a precious moment.
well, aside from the birthday and also the photo snapping sessions... i also went SHOPPING! hahahaha! oh yes... only got myself a couple of stuffs; socks, food, an american football toy and the ultimate LACOSTE shoes! haha! yea, its an evil laugh! hahaha! its the usual WHITE with GREEN trimmings. thats my CNY shoes! yeay! got it from Queensway Shopping Center, the haven for sports stuffs! best place to find all sports related equipments with further reductions compared to shopping malls and department stores. so, head down there to get yourself the latest Nike Air Force Ones' or even Adidas' latest designs!
*** Hop on the MRT; stop at Queenstown MRT stop. exit and take a left down the stairs to the bus stop located a stone's throw in front. hop on the 195 (i think, lol) bus that cost SGD1. once you see Ikea on the left, press the bell at the traffic lights in front. Queensway SC is on your right, at the corner of the cross junction. cross the road or take the overhead bridge to get across the road. enter the shopping center and knock yourself out with choices! get the best bargains! dont be fooled, walk around and scout. dont just settle for one shop, there are many of them! best of luck then! ***
thats Singapore for 4 days and 3 nights for me. Shop, Snap, Saviour & Selebrate (lol)
p/s- i am gonna be there again for CNY... any orders? hehehehe....
