While covering the STYLO event at mercs benz center,
i met Karambi & Marjyot whom i had just shot for a month back.
(almost couldn’t recongise M)



anyway, here’s the draft of the 1st 2 days of their really beautiful and colourful wedding. the 2nd night ended on a really high note as it was the 1st time K met M during the 4 day wedding ceremony.

on 19th sept, we went to jodong’s ep launch (lullaby nomad) concert at esplanade.



Joanna Dong is a local jazz singer (and flo’s friend from jc) whom, i think, has an extremely clear voice. her audience was also very subtle and very respectful. quite a classy performance i must say. oh, her fans are ridiculously huge in number - she sold 150 copies of her album on that night itself and the autograph session took almost an hour. -.-



(flo thinks meoworks will someday have 200 fans too. if only flo could sing…)



so here’s a preview from the concert, it’s lullaby nomad from her ep. (she wrote this song herself)

As of today, meoworks has another full-time editor.



Some of you might have already met her, for those who hadn’t, she’s carrie and she has promised to sell her heart and soul to weddings.











(i’m the cuter one; the one with the double dimples.)



and now that there’s 2 of us, we’ll be able to handle double the workload, so hit us with more projects!

Thursday was my parents’ 31st wedding anniversary.



while, Sat, 27th, was Mr and Mrs Ong’s Golden Anniversary celebration. (for those who are a little blur about all these wedding anniversary names, golden anniversary basically denotes 50 yrs of togetherness.)



To commemorate the day, Mr and Mrs Ong (Pete and Pat) held a thanksgiving ceremony in the church. instead of the usual flower girls and page boys for church weddings, their family members (all 10 grandkiddos, 3 kids and their spouses) walked down the aisle before them.



During the dinner, their son gave a speech;
‘My sisters and I are very obedient. Our mother was married at the age of 21 and she told us to get married early. So we did. My sisters and I were married during our mid-twenties. Our mother gave birth to 3 children, 2 girls and 1 boy. So my older sister and I had 3 children; 2 girls and 1 boy. Our youngest sister had 4 children; 2 girls and 2 boys.’



-grin
it’s quite strange that only in the spore/asian context, can ‘obedience’ be considered a virtue.
anyway, during the farewell, so many guests commented on the children’s obedience that the sister cheekily retorted that she should had made her brother censor the ‘obedience’ bit.



okokok. i might have paraphrased his words a little. but that’s about the gist of it.

All I could remember of STYLO was that the venue was very packed;



it was originally targetted for 600 guests but so many turned up that 1/3 of them had to remain standing for the 1 hr fashion show showcasing the works of … (yup, i’ve forgotten all the designers’ names. come on lah, give me a break, i’m there to cover the event as a cameraman and not as a host/reporter/etc.)



(i had originally wanted to do up an impressive short paragraph about STYLO being the only red-carpet event during this F1 weekend but i seem to be failing miserably. it’s obvious i should just remain behind the camera. bah.)

-wheeeeee



yesyes, MW’s has our very own steadicam.



n now for more creative, smooth flowing footage just like stillmotionblog (gorgeous location not included.)

So last night, J-star, Rachel from activechannel and I went down to IndoChine’s Tropical Gala Fiesta Night, which is said to be Asia’s Jet Set Event of the Year to interview 2 DJs.







DJ Rob Wilder







DJ Bert Bevans



And since I was never in the scene, I’ve absolutely no idea who those men were (sorry lah) till last night but they had absolutely no qualms telling my camera their favourite undies and what passionate lovers they make. Rob even told J-star to dig deeper so that he could reveal more dirt about himself. -laughs.



They’re fun and relaxed.
I should be meeting them a couple more times over the weekend.

yesterday was madness. but it was shit load of fun. the event was held at MOS with free flow of drinks.



tommy was so drunk that he was unable to take a pic of us (-shakes head. so old liao still cannot hold liquor. the 3 of us were pro enough not to drink on the job. but that apparently didn’t stop us from posing stupidly.)











and this is richard mille.







(photos courtesy of livestudios.sg. they r the only photographers who can give me a complete set of their photos after each and every event i’ve shot with them. -whistles.)

what do u get when a bunch of videographers and photographers come together for dinner and some wii?







pure madness + 2 days of arm aches.
(actually most of the madness came from joho, eileen and melvin as u can tell from the photos.)



thank u james n regina for inviting us over.



i loved your lagsana. -slurps.

a yr n a half ago, i had promised myself that i would never do 2 full day weddings (that’s 10 hours worth of shooting in a single day for those who ain’t used to the strange wedding lingo.) back to back as it would not be fair to the 2nd couple as I wouldn’t be able to give my best (really. i’m not saying that just bcoz im lazy n i cant drag myself up at 430am 2 days in a row)

so this wkend, i had just broken my personal best.

6th sept - jeanette n JG’s wedding
7th sept - ivy n HP’s wedding (with melvin from redhatmedia . he was the one in charge of the shooting n editing.)

(strange that all the grooms love to b called by their initials.)

and during the afternoon 4-5 hr break, i was busy doing the edit for an ad pitch for yellow brick road.

in all, 6 hrs zzzz within the last 60 hrs.

so forgive me if i don’t make sense anymore.

(pls pity the 2 girls, wei ru and mavis, who r editing downstairs. i dont know if i’m making sense while going thru their edits with them.)

Flo’s cousin, Jeanette, got married yesterday so we went and shot. The ExH was fun to do - only because the groom and brothers were soooooo willing to eat/drink whatever the jiemeis gave them. I had fun!

while preparing for Q&A session:
one of the jiemeis: but this is not the answer! he won’t get it!
all the other jiemeis: that’s the whole point what!

and poor jeanette had no idea her husband was to be put through so much..

here you go. enjoy!

p/s: it was funny when flo had to go take family photos with the bride and groom. she was the most reluctant family member. wahahah.

flo’s comments: it’s not that i was reluctant to take the photos. it’s just that JG was overly eager to have me in his pics. i mean, i barely knew that guy and for all i know, he might be a ….. (censored)

–

so, jeanette’s the first in our family to get hitched though i had never expected her to be. and she got herself a gd catch. -grin

6th sept was my first time meeting JG and the moment he stepped out of the car in his oversized geeky specs (never expected jeanette to choose a hubby with a better sense of fashion than her. he actually got the skinny ties from topman, london. the ties would be another story for another time), i liked him already.

if i could sum up their relationship, it would be this…..

there they were, on stage, JG was emotionally professing his love for that one special woman (i find it quite strange to think of jeanette as a woman. but.. oh well…) in his life, she was half rolling her eyes heavenwards. and when he came towards her for a hug, she responded by grungingly wrapping her arms around him with her eyes still focusing on that certain spot on the ceiling.

-laughs

they would definitely have lots of fun and love in their years ahead.

and to JG, ‘yo cousin!’

-grin
