I remember I drew the same thing I was very young and gave it to some girl in class. I must be K2 or Primary 1. I still remember her name, because some HK celebrity has the same name. But it can’t be her:P

Lines!! I love lines.

She’s the funny auntie. Every wedding should have one like her. It livens up the day!

I found the patterns on the groom’s vest and bride’s cheongsam looking very interesting and line right in the middle makes them a pair. Lines again!

Left: Bruce Lee was here. Right: They just happen to be there.

Ribbon = A, hands = V. That’s how I saw it.

One of her friends was saying… “the scalloping” of the dress. Now that’s a delicious way of describing a dress.

At Regent Hotel. My former workplace. I used to work part time as a banquet waiter while waiting for my O Level results and had some really fond memories of that place. I’m not going to publish the stuff we did “behind the scenes”, but going back to the hotel as a photographer again does bring back some bittersweet memories. This wedding in particular, one of the older banquet managers came up to me and said I look familiar. We struck a short conversation while waiting for some guests to be ushered into the ballroom. Talked about the previous restaurants and the various changes made to this hotel.

As I drove home that night, I remembered our late night company bus rides back home after the banquet had ended. My first paycheck, which I spent it all on branded jeans (which I probably worn once cause I thought I looked ridiculous in branded stuff). ‘Trumpeting’ my first bottle of Tiger beer at Newton circus after work. Our frequent late night hangouts at the billiards parlour at Far East Shopping Center. Sharing hotel ghost stories and those lonely walks in the middle of the night along the staff corridors. All these didn’t seem to happen that long ago as my ID had suggested.

We grow old so we can reminisce the good times. Happy 2012 folks!:D May the year bring happiness among your family and friends.

Something from this morning. We haven’t seen the sun for almost 2 months. I hope the beginning of 2012 brings less rainy weather so I can resume my skateboarding. Probably get myself a Xootr so I can scoot around the neighbourhood.

A post lasik dive trip. Why not? I went through my calendar and found a 2 week break that fit nicely into my schedule, so I had them blocked and sent a couple of emails to my contact at Twofish Divers. This will be my fourth time there and my second this year. I’m a little like a whale on migration, always going back to the same area year after year.

Just over less than a year, so much has changed here. I was greeted by many new faces, who would after this trip, become familiar faces that I hope to see again soon. Their way of life intrigued me. It seems like the digital revolution hasn’t really hit them yet. Life revolves around family, the sea and music. Almost every night, they will be singing and playing their homemade instruments. Merry making till the last guests turn in at about 9pm. After which some of them will stay back to have a game of chess or watch english dubbed chinese kungfu movies. I didn’t seem to notice all these ongoings in my previous trips. I knew enjoying the experience is going to be of higher priority over photography this time.

I am happy I learned something new this trip. A change in approach and mentality.

Overall, it was a great trip. A trip that offered me more questions than answers. I am already looking forward to the next trip.
