over to cousin sis's wedding.
out of the few things that must be mentioned about it, one thing amused me most.
according to the traditional guangdong chinese wedding ceremonies, the groom's family have to give a roasted pig to the bride's family as part of the dowry. there's this 喜word imprinted onto the pig and bride's side would have to remove that portion of the pig with the word on it symbolizing 拿喜 (bringing happiness into the family).
as my cousin's side are mostly vegetarian so they've decided to substitute the roasted pig into another form of 'pig'-- coffee flavoured sponge cake. WHOA MAN! really salute the cake shop. just a glimpse, you really thought that it was a real pig. and it tasted GREAT! in fact one of the best coffee cake i've had.
here comes the 'roasted pig'
the mata sepet 'pig' had roses on its head some more.. so 'sui'
it's so perfect that the tail curled like real ones
not forgetting that i'd performed during the wedding too alongside with the bride's younger sister. we played the bridal march-in piece to commemorate the couple's entrance.
remember the photographer that i said the bride will be using for the wedding, derrick ong? he's one very hilarious fella, with agile body movements hence the specatular angles he could come out with in his shots. he's one of the rare photographers where you think that he's worth every bit of the price. at SGD3000, this multi-award winning photographer sure takes very good photos, coupled with some very good photoshop skills. he's very capable of capturing 'the moment' photos. seldom will i appreciate someone of their skills, all in all, derrick ong, would be one of them i regard as a true professional.
not only has he the skills, he's one very witty and funny photographer. i would never forget what he said to my aunt while taking family portraits, “aunty, 今天你最开心，把牙齿拿出来。”hahahaha...
while we were busy shooting photographs during the dinner, my the other photography enthusiast cousin sis, yinglai asked me to take photos for her table. i hung my camera on one side of the shoulder, and took over hers on the other hand. it is THIS MOMENT, derrick saw me and he exclaimed, "哇！你看起来比我更厉害，来！拍一张！" hahahaha...
he checked my photos over the lcd screen and guess what? HE PRAISED MY SKILLS!!!! WAH!!! hearing such compliment from a pro made me such a happy person, head over heels. he said the composition was good, angle was good, good settings overall. WAH!!! so happy so happy!!
