The boys are a hot fave. -winks

(just a cat we happened to chance upon b4 breakfast at mac’s.)

We had chanced upon a modern classic car for sale (2nd hand lah) for what I thought was a reasonable price. So on the day that my dad took leave, we headed down to Ubi to check it out and have a little test drive.



The sales staff were a little …..



and we weren’t allowed to test drive ….



so…….



Anyway, this is what a TD 2000 looks like

Felicia & Ian are a lot of things — they’re lawyers, rich, smart, kind of crazy (maybe only Felicia), have i mentioned rich? oh yeah, and felicia is flo’s longest friend (they’ve known each other since secondary school). and since friends are all obligated to use our services or we’ll not attend their weddings (kidding, don’t worry), flo had been kancheong about fel’s express highlights a longggggg time ago, way before i even knew what kancheong was.



so came the end of dec & then i realised how horribly close we were to fel’s wedding date. actually, everyone was, friends came from msia, uk and godknowswhere in preparation for the big date & it was quite mad. (ask flo, nicely so you won’t get yelled at, how many times she has been to the airport for the last one week) but since we cats love mad rushes, we happily became part of it & promptly got into everyone’s way (especially fel’s bro, haohao, who trashed us at chess about 4 times but that’s another story to tell..)



the concept of this video was thought up long ago (ya we’re concept cats) & flo chose the song.. which also means that if you trust us enough, we’re actually born musicians too (kidding).



so it was great, hanging out with flo’s friends, livestudios was there so we took crazy photos, kelvin koh did the photos, and there were trees and flowers (courtesy of heaven’s gift) and all sorts of things on our tables — which means, we had absolutely no space to eat our food (st regis serves really good food by the way). so, it was grand, very emotional and everyone looked gorgeous. i bet flo felt completely out of place sitting at a table, and not the one holding a camera. but we had melvin (redhatmedia) & chris woon

covering for us that night so we could enjoy our dinner.



so i collected the tapes at church, came back & started editing but i think the pressure must have surmounted so when flo came back after shooting lunch, i burst into tears and thought that was it, i was going to be terrible.. but you have to see for yourself.

(flo you can write your story here)

there r currently too many thoughts swirling around in my head to make this a coherent post. especially since Fel’s the 1st of my good friends to get married in 2009.



whenever we (Shey, Ha and CL included) meet, we would always bring along our current partners. so it came as a surprise when Fel told us that she was going to marry Ian, a guy, whom we had never met b4 as he was working in London then. so needless to say, we were unable to suss out what sort of man/marriage our friend was getting herself into. but after listening to Ian’s moving speech which was made during dinner, I realised that Fel’s one lucky girl. (you’ll have to watch the completed mtv for ian’s speech as i’m not gonna paraphrase what he said.)



on the 3rd, everyone was a little out of sorts. Shey, Ha and CL seemed to be doing their darnest best to get out of Fel’s way. It was like being in the same room with Fel was a big NO-NO. (yes, I had tried getting them to talk to Fel so that I may capture more expressive shots. and yes, I’m work focused lidat.) Shey claimed that her subdue-ness was due to a serious bout of diarrhoea but i secretly suspect that she was trying her best to get a grip on her emotions. it was only when dinner ended (at 1am) did Shey and CL let their emotions go (maybe the alcohol had a part to play too). CL was sobbing on the cab home. And as for me…. -grin.



i guess, doing Fel’s video’s the best thing i had ever done for her.
i mean i had been a horrible housemate, refusing to cook and clean up, hibernating in my really messy room unless i was needed for dinner.
it’s a wonder fel managed to tolerate me.



oops, slight interruption from miss shey -
shey yin 4:07
tell you something
i watch your dvd when i got home on sunday
i was crying when i watched it



yup, we made a copy of the express highlights for all of them b4 they fly back to their respective countries.
let’s hope that when we next meet, we’re on a junk cruising around halong bay.



from pretending-not-be-emotional flo

my apologies for their express highlights being posted up so late but december is the month of madness and we definitely had all the fun we could.



no gatecrashing once again, but there was a photoshoot with joho so that was fun (not like i attended it, those who know us by now should know that flo shoots and i edit so when i say ‘fun’ i mean the editing ok?)



dinner was at tanglin so that was kind of a nice change. one of the bridesmaid & one of the groom’s men sang ‘a whole new world’ (yes the disney aladdin one) as a surprise for them & there were quite a few speeches, mostly to make fun of chris & to remind us how much jingli loves to buy shoes.



the song chosen by the couple BUT they did not play the express highlights during the dinner. -.- it’s a long story & if you’re interested in knowing why the couple had no time during the dinner for our video… go ask them.



so maybe you guys are seeing it before those at the dinner did. waha.
