Rainy Days are back, Chi Wern and Chin Ling's Wedding shoots, Gabriel's Birthday and Other Random Stuff

And so, the occasional rainy mornings are back. I always like it when it rains. The cool air, the pitter patter of the rain drops, the occasional lightning and thunder. But what I do not like about it is walking in the rain when you got no dry clothes to change into.

Raining at Sims Drive, on my way to work.

At 3am at home, thunderstorm at home.

Anyway, Thank God for the good weather when we went to help Chi Wern and Chin Ling with their wedding photo shoot. I went to help them out as a 1 day slave, as what Jun Liang calls it.
And the wonderful and amazing photos that Jun Liang took will only be released at the wedding, or by the couple themselves, so sorry, no preview here, haha...
We were not the only ones shooting there.

City Hall, Old Supreme Court.
We are not alone.

Plant's view of the City.
Welcome to Singapore. You've just been caught on my camera.

Looks like a ginseng root, but it's just some dried up plant root.

Lonely plant.

There's our photographer.

He Da Man.

My first try on Jun Liang's DSLR Camera, Manual focus, which was obviously out of focus, haha...

The look in your eyes.

The Supreme court, really supreme indeed.

Adjusting Chi Wern, our star of the day.

In the end we ended up having our own fun.

Jun Liang, our well recognized professional photographer.

Pro at work, giving orders.
"Eyes open bigger. Show me more of your right shoulder. Ah... Correct. Good Good."

Reviewing the shots.

As I said, we're not alone. Then Jun Liang started to say that we are more pro, got more helpers and got umbrella flash with stand, they don't have. Hahaha...

Behind the scenes.

Holding on forever.

Additional Camera Tricks.

City Hall, 14 Feb, Valentines Day. No wonder so many couples there.

Towards greater heights.

Vivien took this wonderful shot. The both flashes went off just nicely.

The famous red and white shot.

And so Gabriel turns 16. Of course, there was a cake for him.
And he asked for it when he said, "no need to sabo la."
The next thing you know, cream on the face.

And then met up with my poly gang. Haven't seen each other for such a long time.

And today after work, went trigger happy on the way to Marine Parade for my cell group, since I had a lot of time.

And the other day, my dad found a rat's nest beneath a plank, and the rat babies are so cute man, haha...
And my sister was playing with my camera when i was playing with my PSP on my bed.
And tomorrow I'm going to JB. Whoo Hoo...
And Mount Ophir next week with Pastor William and Gin Hin's people.
So looking forward to that, haha...

Solitude at East Coast Park

What a hectic week of events.
Wednesday was prayer meeting, Thursday was Choir rehearsal, Friday was Planetshakers Concert, and today is solitude at East Coast Park.

So I was supposed to meet Dennis and the guys to run before Solitude at 9am, but overslept so didn't join the run. And when I took the bus to ECP, I dropped too far off from the macs at Kai Bin's place. Then walked all the way back to Macs. But it was a good stroll, had some interesting photo opportunities. Enjoy...

Mandarin Gardens

A moth among at the underpass entrance

Watchout for this winged terror... Haha...

Some interesting plant at the other side of the underpass, just outside the chalets.

The green pond.

Dragonflies.
One of my best shots, a rather lucky one too.

The sand and the sea

So halfway through solitude, it started to rain very heavily. Had quite a good discussion time though. And after that we went to wash up and played Guitar Heroes at Alvin's place for a while, before heading to Plaza Singapura for lunch and some snacks.

After that we headed over to Chin Ling's place for the "Chi Wern and Chin Ling's Wedding, Committee Meeting and Dinner". Had a great time and great meal. So much fun with everyone there.

After that Jun Liang went to meet Candice and Ingrid at Serangoon Gardens Cafe Cartel, so I tagged along. Had a real interesting and fun time, chilling there. Do watch out for 2 new video clips that Candice is going to post up on her blog soon, haha... (Sorry Jun Liang and Ingrid, some pre-advertising)

I had a Missisipi Mudpie.
Warm and moist mudpie with a scoup of icecream.

And after that when I got home, there was a ladybug in my room wall. So took out my camera and shot it, then released it back into the wild.

Small little thing
