Yesterday, I received an email from Hannah. It was a forwarded mail from one of the clients whom I took the wedding photos for. One of the things she said kept coming back to me…
Â
“After a while, your photos are one of the only things you remember from these days and it’s marvellous to have such a beautiful record.”
Â
The value of wedding photography. Finally, someone had it translated into words.
Â
Thank you Nicola and Taufik for the kind words:)

…[tag]Weddings[/tag] sometimes. A little get together with friends and relatives. Sometimes, it’s nice, especially when everyone just falls nicely into the frame, like this:)

Isn’t it fantastic to be a grandmother? I wonder how IÂ behaved in my grandma’s arms last time. I heard I slept everywhere I go… (literally). Still happens now.

It’s the third day of lunar new year, I decided to pick up my lazy ass and visit grandma. I didn’t go on the first day because I really hate it when my relatives start bormbarding me with questions like, “where’s your gf?”, “when you getting married?”, “how’s the market out there?”… etc. I mean, I know that I only see them once a year, but seriously… can’t people come up with more constructive stuff? Like, “I know of a very nice girl, maybe I can fix up a date for you if you are interested/available.” OK, that’s just an example, but something along that line would be helpful.
Â
Grandma was taking a nap when I arrived. She woke up and kept asking who am I. At 94, I guess, I’m just a blurry patch, but still, she knows after awhile. As the conversation went on… she asked, “Where’s your brother?”, “Does he have a “friend” (took me 2 seconds to understand the term “friend” – means gf)?”, “Is he working now?”. Then the same set of questions for my sister as well, with abit of variation since she’s married. Then my turn. Kind of sad when she started asking if I have a “friend”.
Â
Anyway, she repeated the same set of questions 3 times, but each time I answered with abit of variation. Tickles me abit when I know she could pick up the differences. And she started asking how much I earn. I have to say she knows the market pretty well:) And then she asked, “Why isn’t your brother getting married?”… then added… “getting married is very expensive…”. Oh yeah, it is… especially the photography.
Â
I don’t know why, but I have never visited my grandma alone, except last year and this. I felt so much closer to her whenever I visit her alone. Previous years, it’s just like a gathering and then everyone just go around saying some customary “nice” words and that’s it! I just thought this is so much more meaningful. Throughout the whole conversation, she kept telling me…
Â
“平安就好。。。顺顺利利。。。â€
Â
And I like how she smiled at me when she said, “I’m 94 this year…”. Perhaps I’m getting old too.
Â
Feels good to feel good. It’s a great day out there. No pretentious bullshit this new year, Gong Hei Fart Choi!:P
Â
Reminiscing the better [tag]Valentine’s Day[/tag] moments I had:) Few years back, when I tried my hand in growing [tag]sunflowers[/tag], I planned to have them bloom around Chinese New Year. It never crossed my mind that V-day is around that time of the year too.
