Pre-Wedding Photography: A Love Tale

Sometimes it's ok to be different.

A wedding affair need not be the typical and mundane. What's most important is that the couple thoroughly enjoy themselves.

So, we came up with something just out of the box, our very own version of the fairy tale: 'Snow white and the Seven Dwarfs' (without the dwarfs), with the bride as THE Princess and THE Witch; the groom as THE Prince and THE Huntsman. :)

Sometimes we do need to cater to our alter egos plus a little drama of course...

Dogs are Man's Best Friend

I'm tearing as I write this because I've just watched a dog rescue video that has touched me deeply.
Prior to this, I was looking at some pictures of puppies that were abandoned, half dead with maggots and ants feasting on them. Two out of three survived and I salute the rescuer.

Read post here:
http://hopedogrescue.blogspot.sg/2013/05/saving-tiny-soul.html

Here is the page:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/HOPE-Dog-Rescue/245909795437201?hc_location=stream

I sometimes wonder if I was a dog or some kind of animal in my past life. 

Why do I say this?

For reasons whatsoever, I ALMOST ALWAYS cry whenever I watch an animal movie (in CONTRAST I don't feel much empathy towards human sufferings) and I feel deeply disturbed and overwhelmed with emotions whenever I see abuse of animals online or read about it (where I'll have tears in my eyes so fast), so much that I want to do the same punishment to the F*** humans who inflicted these cruelties on them.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IS THERE A NEED TO TREAT SUCH POOR HELPLESS ANIMALS SO CRUELLY.

Is it to satisfy some sick obsession??!! And if so, go see a FUCKING Psychiatrist!!!!!

I think humans are cruel. In my opinion, we often abuse our intelligence and power for greed.
Forsaking morals and ethics for more money.

Recall:
Shocking world news-
The China infant milk poisoning (deadly chemicals added for WHAT F*** REASON I GOT NO IDEA) causing babies to die after drinking.

Selling rats' meat for mutton? (or some other sort of meat) like the Chinese saying: 挂羊头卖狗肉
DISGUSTING

Whale Poaching: I recall watching a video with the whole beach full of bloody whales with men holding this hook thing and sticking it into these poor mammals and dragging them up the shore.
WTF?!

The boy who threw a cat down 9 storeys. (I sure would love to do the same to him)

I'm sure there are MANY more atrocious incidents everywhere else in the world.

I love dogs. I hope to have one some day though I have no experience with having a dog for a pet.
A friend recommended adoption and told me to watch this Caesar Milan guy on you-tube who is just so good with ALL dogs. I watched him and I am hooked. I am so totally doing my homework first before I adopt my very first dog.

I remembered Caesar said:
There is NO VIOLENT BREED of dogs. All behaviors are stemmed from man's influence.
It just reminds me that goes the same for kids. They get influenced by parents or the environment they are brought up in. The only difference is that humans are more complicated.... *frowns

Previously, I had no idea that there are SO MANY shelters existent with SO MANY rescued dogs in need of a home. I was still dreaming of going to pick my favourite breed from the pet farm or shop.

I think the least I can do is to help adopt, and give at least one dog a nice safe home. (mongrel or otherwise) We all know that dogs are a man's best friend and we should treat them with love.

I'm getting my own place soon which makes me excited! I'm also glad I managed to convince my boyfriend to consider adoption and look at mongrels (most dogs in the shelters are mongrels which many people do not find cute) with a different eye. He did and is open to them. :)

I just wish and pray that there will be no more animal cruelties and let's all do our bit to help whenever we can.

Read this post, on how a kind Muslim man helped to rescue this poor little pup.
(I find it ironic that a Muslim, who is usually adverse to dogs because of religion put aside his beliefs to save one helpless puppy) Maybe there is hope!

http://hopedogrescue.blogspot.sg/2013/05/we-are-hoping-for-miracle.html

So, to those who wants a new best friend, CONSIDER ADOPTION PEOPLE! 

My parting words to ABUSERS:
DARN ALL ANIMAL ABUSERS TO HELL. MAY YOU ALL ROT SUCKERS!

Adios,
G

Wedding Photoshoot: Yachting at One degree 15 by White Sails in Sentosa


Up on an early morning and off to a day of yachting adventure for a couple shoot with Lumiere photography and White Sails (1 Degree 15-Sentosa).
view more pictures at: www.facebook.com/artsy.gerra

I was excited as it was my first time on a yacht in Singapore, (my first yacht experience was when I went to Hongkong) and was pretty curious to see the yacht's interior and experience the life as (what many people would consider) the "upper society" class. Hooray!

The charter was for 4 hours. Though it's not considered expensive but I wouldn't label this as an activity like: going shopping in town on a whim; as a sort of activity whenever we feel like it. I was just going to fully enjoy being on one FREE OF CHARGE. Hahahhahaha

Surprisingly, the waters are clear here and you can see FISHES! I was AMAZED!!!!!!!!


A pretty pic of Angeline before we board. :)

Before the yacht set sail, it was bobbing crazily at the dock. We were all busy loading and setting up our equipment without paying much attention to the crazy swaying until much later. 

As I did not have a proper breakfast, my gastric juice was swishing around in my stomach and I was starting to get EXTREMELY whoozy and nauseated. 

I would say I'm not prone to seasickness that easily but for this, it proved too much for me to bear. ARGHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I desperately tried to swallow mouthfuls of water, trying to hydrate myself thinking maybe it was due to the hot weather. Snacking periodically to ease the rumbling of my stomach. 

Finally I couldn't take it anymore and went to biggest bed inside the cabin and tried to sleep the nausea away till we docked at the island. 

My Unglamourous Pic:




Unfortunately, the poor photographer puked and he had to shoot. Poor Dan.

The unglamourous Photographer:

By this time, we had already docked on this island called:
St Lazarius. (not even sure if I got the spelling right?) 

And another boo-boo phtographer who had his socks screwed up. At least it's still the same colour tone...




Anyway this island is part of the St John' island in Singapore, secluded and un-developed. Basically you could skinny-dip in the waters and nobody would know. (except your friends of course! Coming alone would be way TOO CREEPY!) But the waters are clear and very nice!


St Lazarius in a snap


Look of the day: Waterfall braids and wedding makeup
Shot on a yacht at: One degree 15, Sentosa by White Sails. 



While on the yacht, Angeline and her beau, Joey, had to strike poses and I thought they looked kinda awkward and funny but still cute. Look at their strained necks!!! I never thought taking pictures were easy anyway.....





I shamelessly camwhored too! Couldn't couldn't resist..... 
Shameless


Candid Shot of Joey trying to do a jump shot and me failing terribly trying to capture it
Erm.


Well it sure looks like this girl is enjoying herself too! 


Our man Shao looking good here!




While on the beach......
My heart goes AwwwwwwWWwwwwww.......



It was a crazy hot day and my feet were burning. We quickly finished up on this island and proceeded to continue with Joey taking a jumping shot off the yacht and then it's back to Singapore. 

So the boys, Shao and Dan, set off on a dinghy, which they reminded me of Tom Hanks in the movie: Cast Away. HAhah


So, Finally it's a wrap ending with a nice hearty beer and lunch at Harry's bar. 

To top it all off, I had ugly tan lines. ARgh!!!!! I hate it. 

Love,
G

To Fight is to Adore

Have you ever wondered what makes a couple? Is it Fate? Or something more complex? Maybe likeeee Karma??!!

And I realised after a while that we should always look for opposites in character and similarities in interests or in principles of life.

Why do I say that?

Because I keep giving shit to the boyfriend and he almost always never got angry at me and even laughed !!! Thinking I absolutely looked adorable when I get angry. Like 1000 times.

Who laughs at an angry woman? And a mad one to add? Well, my boyfriend apparently. I don't know if I brought out this strange trait of his or if he is really super good tempered no matter what balls of fury is thrown at him.

Well recently, we got our own place and the biggest flaw he has so far, is being madly obsessive with the thing he claims to love: (apart from me of course)

Interior Design (He claims to be the designer from London -Ah Kiat Inc.) in his dreams

He became trigger happy and wants things that made it seem like money just falls from the sky.

I heard it is really common for a couple to argue about everything after they get a place in preparation for the love nesting. 
i.e From the colour of walls, to the toilet bowl and the wardrobe and every other little thing!!
At the point when I heard this, I didn't think it would be that bad. But boy, it is bad as I'm going through this phase at this moment. 

The flat we got was a resale and it is situated somewhere near town. (I shan't say where in case I get stalkers).
So, imagine a near town resale flat does not come cheap and to add on that, we have to pay a ridiculous COV amount.

Renovation works has to be done as the previous owner was Indian. Being the arty farty people that we claim we are (I don't know why he claims to be one), we are already kinda picky with a lot of house decors, let alone an Indian style one. (no offense)
One thing for sure, we wanted something out of the ordinary so that when we come home, we'll go "AHHHhhhhhh, So Niceee!!!" just to reward ourselves after a hard day's work by soaking in our 'out of the ordinary' home atmosphere.

This is where the our common idea ends. 

I love the cottage, sweet and mildly rustic style theme whereas Kiat likes modern, vintage, industrial, designer's etc etc where none of his likes fit mine.

We argue day and night on the renovations, furniture, doors, lightings, colour, toilet bowls.......
You name it, we have it.

Previously, before we even got the flat, we even argued on where we should live in and what amount we should cap our budget at.
For me it is really simple. I just want a place near the train station like: less than 5 minutes walk away and secondly, for the price to be within budget. It does not have to be smack in the middle of town as I know the price is going to be crazy.

But Ah Kiat had many other factors in consideration.

1. Near a multi-storey carpark

2. Amenities: near market and food centre, shopping facilities.

3. Sheltered walkway so in case it rains, I wouldn't need to fumble with the umbrella. (yes! I admit this is very thoughtful of him)

4. Near town

5. Cleanliness and noise level of the living area like void decks

6. Corner unit (He hates walking past more than 2 neighbours with jungle corridors)

Holy Molly! So what are the chances that we can find an area that suits all our needs?

We did in fact. But unfortunately, the owners couldn't wait and it got sold!

So in the end, we got this other place that we really both loved the first time we went there and bought the unit at 130 am in the morning! Kudos to the agents (because we may turn out to be assholes and decide not to buy it)

Ah Kiat got really excited about it and became obsessed with the renovation works, calling the contractor for quotes and designing, with every intention to tear down the whole place. I feel like I'm FUTILELY leashing this bull with an invisible rope and trying with all my might to slow him down and make him think 1000+1000 times before he decides to buy/change anything BECAUSE IT ALL COSTS A BLOODY BOMB.

Many many times I've shouted at him "ELLO?! You think you living in castle ah?!" , gone berserk "I DON"T LIKE this design! Why must it always be according to what you like???" and argued "Creativity is working with what you have and coming up with interesting designs/ideas and not just paying for designer stuff!" and he never flared at me. The most will be, "You very Lude (purposely mispronounced) ah! Say Sorry."
After I 'Said Sorry', we'll grin at each other and snicker like idiots and then the nonsense will start again.

It can't be helped. All he could ever talk about for now are furniture and renovations. GRRRRrrrrrrr!

And it is also sad how humans can only bite and remember our partner's flaws or that one or little lousy quality he/she has and forget all the good he/she ever possessed.

I was starting to feel resentful towards Ah Kiat with regards to his obsessive and anal approach towards the house and forgetting he has only treated me with lots of love, care and attention so far since we've been together.
I felt ashamed and tried to reel myself in from flaring up too much (IT MUST BE THE DARN HORMONES) and told myself that all he only ever wanted was; to give me a beautiful, designed by Ah Kiat, home..... (lol)

AND OF CAUSE A COUPLE MUST ALWAYS HAVE COMMUNICATION NO MATTER HOW NONSENSE THE COMMUNICATION CAN BE.

So I really tried my very VERY best to tell him, instead of shutting out on why I needed a cosy corner of my own and how much it means to me when he actually wanted to deprive me from it. Thinking it ridiculous to put so much work into a corner JUST TO READ.

I said THAT F*** corner (yes! keep communicating even though the conversation is going to be filled with swear words) is my inspiration corner. I want to be able to F**** sit there and relax and think and get inspired without you buzzing around me (Yes, keep talking even though it can be a brutal truth to your partner). You have your own work space, so WHY can't I ? I'm only asking for a F**** corner to call my own to decorate it however way I please, including F**** candy cane pink walls + cottage wall lamps and you will NOT INTERFERE  because you have already contributed too many of your own ideas into the whole house! Ask yourself, did I ever object having your own choice of furniture for your work space? NO! Because it's your space and I respect it and I want you to respect mine! 

I had tears in my eyes already while semi screaming all these to Kiat and he immediately understood why it all means so much to me. (He AGREED to pink candy cane walls! YAY!!!!!!)

SEE?

That's why I say, KEEP TALKING (or screaming if you prefer) people, to get your point across.
Sometimes, it is good to collect our thoughts first and then blast everything at a go to your partner whenever we are ready. We can be at a loss of words on how to explain why we wanted certain things done to our way of liking. Although it can be for No particular logical reason, which can be a reason in itself (we girls are entitled to Irrationality).-God bless the men

Most importantly, I consider myself lucky because my partner, Mr Kiat has seen and accepted me when I'm at one of my worse (many lurking), so he definitely deserves me at my best. I appreciate him and I do wish all: Good luck in your relationships with your partners!!!!

Love,
G

Comic Fun style Pre-wedding Photography







































It was an awesome fun shoot I've ever done for wedding couples. Great for couples looking for a different way to celebrate their union. :)

I for one will be game to try something for my own!!!

Because I am utterly bored of the standard types of photography that couples usually seem to go for. And I wonder if it is the lack of choices or we are all too traditionally safe and "un-fun"

However, I must say the recent attractive photography packages tied up with the bridal studios are starting to acquire more fun and taste.

Like:

NO MORE posing in front of huge rocks, or mundane beach scenes at sentosa/east coast.

AND MORE Korean themed styles and colourful, fun, happy couple shots. Artistic and etc.

DON"T get me wrong, I just feel that the process of taking couple shots should be fun and INVOLVED, not trying very hard to fit into something forced and cliched, so to speak. And that's where an important art director should come into play. Or else a good photographer with good directions, or the couple with crazy ideas they are game to try.

I mean, it's supposed to be once in a lifetime kinda thing, why not have the best memories to go with while doing it?????? 

:D Im sorry for being a sucker for fun things! :D

And I am trying to brainstorm an array of fun things to do for my own wedding! Soon enough 

Love,
G

Of Emptiness and Itches

Came across this interesting quote:

"I have a simple philosophy. Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches."
-Alice Longworth


Now which brings me to my question:
Do you think we at some points, have an empty kinda feelin?

OR MAYBE

There is a secret magic potion for A 'Perpetual High' like state 99.9% of the time?
(Drug free please!)

I would love to fill mine with lots of Love and Laughter. (Goood things start with 'L'!)

And when im drunk, good things then start with 'F'! i.e
Fornicating
Fondue
Fondling
F**king  sorry!
Fosters (beer)
Fidgeting
Fwah!!!!

And so the lists rolls on...............................................................

Fashion
Fame
Falalalala!!!

And I think: How nice it will be when your itch gets scratched by that special someone's hand.

AHhhhhhhhhhah ahhhhh
*Higher darling higher... to the left LEfT!!
AHhhhhhhhhhh............

TRSKkkkk!

What the hell.. I am certainly going empty. :(

******************************************************************************
Which brings to mind, when I was happily reading in the train when my phone rang.
It was my mum.

Reason she called is to ask: "Have I taken the umbrella?"

I said: "Nope"

She asked: "Then who took it?!"

I replied, impatiently: "How do I know??"

Then she said "ok" and hang up

Suddenly my brain was a myraid of thoughts, and a sense of overwhelming sadness came over me.
For my mum.

She is a housewife.
All I ever see her do, are household chores. Come to think of it, she can be bordering abit on anal.
What she dislikes, she nags, but things never change. The chores go unappreciated, taken for granted. Well she could really just don't bother and leave us to our own defences.

But ultimately, its still Mum who will bear the brunt of shit and with the other two males who think they are kings.
Just because , Mum won't allow that
And I guess I could help out abit, for which I really really dislike!
Doing chores really suck. I know how to do it. I would gladly do it. But I dislike being expected to do it just because Im a girl.
I get overwhemled by the imbalance that the two other kings get to slap their backsides and go prop their legs elsewhere without being expected to help.
For I am stubborn and imperfect.

I really do feel sad. My mum getting a tad worked up over a missing umbrella......

Im confused.

Isnt there other things she could actually get excited about in life?

Sometimes I can see the broodiness on her face. Sometimes the moodiness is like a thick blanket, threatening to suffocate whoever is in the room.

Plus incessant nagging whenever her mood befits. I've learned to shut it out and wish she would lighten up, go clubbing or something.

Maybe she really is lonely. My dad is not only the most unromantic person in the world and that I would term him 'kayu' in terms of a relationship. LOL
NOT to say he is not a good dad cause he is my dad. :) Im duty bound.

Maybe he really doesnt know how to express himself.

I often think: Why is it so hard?

Is it because of our inflated egos that we never show affection as easily ?

OR

A really low self esteem we think we would fail long before we even got the guts to try it?
Even for something really simple? :(

OR

Probably it's just human's selfish nature to take things for granted and that 'MISERY loves company'
-If I don't feel good, I'll make sure you don't too.
PSYCHOTIC....

OR

It's just easier to hide and wish that things will be right once again or bad things will just go away......
Delusional? Very likely!

I feel sad. Really. Probably so much so that that's what prompted me to write this entry.

WHY?

AND I realised you can never build your happiness upon someone else's or if we based our happiness on external events, we'll never be happy.
Because if you do, what you are gonna get is: My mum.

It has got to come from within.

HOW?

*Great sigh*
Adding to the fact that we often like to let our minds run too wild and we start to scare ourselves. 胡思乱想


On a side note:

Even my friends tell me they get shocked when they see my mum smiling at them whenever they come visit in these recent times!
YES! Its only in recent years she is able to let go some and stop being so uptight. You can only imagine how uber moddy she has been in the past.

Well the naggings never stop, for which right now I've associated those mini bouts of nagginess as her way of showing affection.

And these have somehow been projected onto me as the other extreme end of my personality.

I dislike nagging and/or screaming.
I did tell some of my friends: if you make me start to nag or scream at you in any way (with the exception of screaming with laughter), it will cause me to build alot of resentment.
I will detach so I don't start or even resent the person.

Running away? OR simply detachment? Maybe both. But that's just me. Though I would much rather practise the art of detachment.

HOWEVER detaching doesnt mean I don't care.
I merely let you choose your own way of feelings while I sort out mine.

Now All I would say is:
Either Start finding that itch and scratch it! OR Look for your deserved happiness within!

You totally deserve it.

The Real Boyfriend

The Key Secret to every girls' heart. :) And Im not even talking about Tiffany & Co.....

When She stares at your mouth, Kiss her

When she pushes you or hits you like a dummy, cause she thinks she's stronger than you,
Grab her and dont let go

When she starts cursing at you and trying to act all tough,
Kiss her and tell her you love her.

When she's quiet, Ask her whats wrong

When she ignores you, give her your attention

When she pulls away, pull her back

When you see her at her worst,Tell her She's beautiful

When you see her cry, hold her and don't say a word

When you see her walking, sneak up and hug her waist from behind

When she's scared, protect her

When she steals your favourite hoodie, let her keep it and sleep with it for a night

When she teases you, tease her back and make her laugh

When she doesn't answer for a long time, reassure her that everything is ok

When she looks at you with doubt, back yourself up

When she says that she loves you, she really does more than you can understand

When she grabs at your hands, hold hers and play with her fingers

When she bumps into you, bump into her back and make her laugh.

When she tells you a secret, keep it safe and untold

When she looks into your eyes, dont look away until she does.

When she says its over, she still wants you to be hers.

Stay on the phone with her even if she's not saying anything.

When she's mad, hug her tight and never let go

When she says she's ok, don't believe it. Talk with her and 10yrs later she'll remember you.

Call her at 12am on her birthday to tell her you love her

Treat her like she's all that matters to you

Stay up all night with her when she's sick

Watch her favourite movie/show even if you think it's stupid

Let her wear your clothes

When she's bored and sad, hang out with her

Let her know she's important

Don't talk about other girls around her

Kiss her in the pouring rain

When she runs up to you crying, the first thing you say is:
"Whose ASS am I kicking, baby?!!!"

Hearts,
Gerra

Men Are from Mars, Sporean Women are from Jupiter?

Now I really think Im overcompensating on my blogposts. But what the hell.


Today I wanna bleep about:

What's with Sporean men nowadays talking about Sporean girls being not good enough and too demanding for them?! They'll rather go for foreign brides?! Sporean girls are too materialistic. They want too many things.....???

NOT TRUE!

How sexist! And so in defence to this particular remark, I've had the honoured opportunity to throw this question back at said 'Sporean man'

Me," What makes you think the problem lies with the females? Have you thought that maybe it is the men who couldn't catch up?

Heh heh heh...

'Said Sporean man' was stumped. He admitted maybe. So MAYBE he is not so sexist after all.
(Im sorry XXX!! You know who you are! Im not targeting enemic arrows at you. But if you happen to read this, Well You read it!! hhahahahah)

So right here Im not going to try to take sides, but choosing to tackle this interesting issue as a Sporean female.

Though I count myself lucky because when desperate measures are needed, I can pass myself off as some foreigner, considering I get lots of comments from people saying I look like various nationalities..... haha!!!!!!


*Waves! Im not materialistic!


So! What is it that Sporean men are looking for really? For them to be marrying foreign brides and claiming that Sporean women are 'Off'.


A Great roll in the sack?

Not mind staying in with parents after marriage because housing is too expensive?

Expecting women to work and do household chores and have babies allatthesametime?!

Wash hubbie's feet and bring slippers?

Not go on romantic dates anymore because "Im just too tired from work,says hubby"?

Expecting us to still have a whistle worthy type figure and tight skin after bearing 4 children?

Screaming at the kids while hubby sleeps on with drool coming out of mouth?

Expecting us to be understanding while he goes have fun with boys on 'Boy's night Out'?




  • The list goes on toilet roll long.....

OH my god. I get cold feet as I come up with more shit.

So my point is:

Sporean females have evolved into choosing not to take in nonsense-Ssss mentioned above. Times have changed.

So they demand ('Request' if this makes you happier :D) a fair share of contribution from hubby because a relationship/marriage is a two way traffic. What about us having to put up with men's fatal weaknesses since the ICE age then HUH?

If we have to put up with such nonsense, naturally we want monetary or material benefits to compensate us for better well being of our mind, body and soul. Technically speaking.

I would surely call this a: Cause and Effect Phenomenon.

Going for foreign less developed females just because you are afraid or JUST cannot fulfill is nothing wrong. BUT Dont just stereotype us without self reflecting on your flaws first. No one's perfect. That's what communication is for!

GrrrRRrRRRr......

***Footnote: Let's cut some slack to those guys who have really met truly incorrigible materialistic girls who have got their priorities all wrong.
And also! To give some credit to those mature guys who have got their priorities all right! :)


I've said my piece.


Peace out,
Gerra

My Painting My Love My Life


Inspired by a sketch I saw on my holiday in USA.
Acrylic paint on canvas.

I painted this for my beloved. So that he will always remember me while discovering his Life's journey.

I named this: Kazzie's Happy Place.

The bright colours made me feel happy and I thought: this is the closest thing I know to give happiness to him.

His dream is to have a restaurant of his own, because he is a chef by profession.
And there will be happy porters, waiters and waitresses just like in the painting.

In a book I'm reading right now.
By Paulo Coelho "By the River Piedra, I sat down And Wept"

Paulo wrote:
"You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life when we allow the unexpected to happen.
Our magic moment helps us to change and send us off in search of our dreams.
Yes, We are going to suffer and experience many disappointments but it is all transitory.
One day, we will look back with pride and faith at the journey we have taken. "

Don't let your magic moments in life pass you by.
All the more, I am sure of the journey that I have started despite doubts and uncertainties.
Because I believe in miracles and no regrets.

And It is because of this understanding, I let him go.
To let him embark on his journey, and me, mine. He has to fulfill his share of his own magic moments in his life- His journey of self discovery. Where I am continually loving him still.

The miracle: That our paths intertwine once again and we will be reunited.
