Yes, we’ll be scratching & purring our first 2 weeks of November away in Vietnam - mainly Hanoi, Halong Bay & Hoi An. From the 1st to 12th of Nov, we’ll be going on holiday (because we’ve worked soooooo hard and need a break) and will be contactable only via email. So if anyone misses us, you may contact us at flo@meoworks.com.sg (cos i’m very sure flo will fight to check her mail first) or carrie@meoworks.com.sg



ciao!

it’s the bday wkend.



yup, it’ll be carrie’s bday this mon n since she has diligently cleared all her outstanding edits, she’ll have time off.



while work for me has just barely begun.



i’ll be heading down for a shares trading seminar shoot while waikit gets assigned to do the 350 event thingy (which is really the more interesting one.)



for a little background on 350



350.org is an international campaign dedicated to building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis–the solutions that science and justice demand.
Our mission is to inspire the world to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis—to create a new sense of urgency and of possibility for our planet.



Our focus is on the number 350–as in parts per million, the level scientists have identified as the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. But 350 is more than a number–it’s a symbol of where we need to head as a planet.

and about today’s event…



‘On 24 October, people in 181 countries are coming together for the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet’s history. At over 4500 events around the world, people are gathering to call for strong action and bold leadership on the climate crisis.’ and they will be gathering at both hong lim park (in the morning) and lasalle (in the early evening) to form a the number ‘350′



omg. my entry is so dry. urgh.



-the flo who is unable to drum up excitement for an event with a gd cause

(no photos of day 01 as i was camman then)




edvarcl, the trainer.




waikit, the other cameraman for EcoTV



we started out in the classroom, learning what makes a gd video and etcetcetc



















and then we hit the streets after lunch as ed didn’t want anyone blatantly falling zzz in front of him. (sam did that on sat.)








sam, the sleeping beauty.




wayne believes that he should wear tees that actively promote recycling as he is an ecotv host. he has 2 such tees. and yes, he’s the one who doodled in the notebook.








that’s damian xxx-ing the condom




while siti’s expression pretty much sums up everybody’s reaction.



enjoy!
the-not-too-lazy-flo

the weekend was spent at ecosphere where we supported Edvarcl as he conducted a host training wkshop for the hosts at eco tv.

there was much sharing of thai videos (it didn’t matter that we couldnt understand thai), sesame street days and laughter.

to top the 2 days off, the hosts had to go onto the streets of bugis and interview strangers about their thoughts about recycling condoms. (and yes, they got alot of stares and gasps, especially when damian decided to make a condom balloon.)

anyway, pics up soon, when i’m not too lazy, that is.

Yes, i’m back from flu/fever bug and have completed all my work on hand. As Meoworks’ editor, I’m very pleased to announce that I do not attend weddings like Flo does, thus I do not run around on my feet, lug the camera around, etc. All I do is sit on my butt at home and edit. What goodness in life I’ve found.



Anyway, I’ve just finished CK & Casey’s MTV, as well as Dinah & Roland’s MTV. The best thing about my job? Each couple is so uniquely different.. It’s also because Meoworks has now come to point where our couples are really the ones we like, the ones we enjoy. (Am i rambling again?)



So CK & Casey had a splendid grand wedding - ROM was a quiet solemn affair in a ballroom at St. Regis. Caleb & Flo shot make-up/getting ready in the room beautifully and Caleb had his exciting experience going Live in the ballroom during dinner. Teehee. The highlight of their night was the 2nd march in, where friends danced in do Chris Brown’s ‘Forever’ (yes, Flo has already mentioned it, if you don’t know what the famous march-in dance is about, go youtube it) and it was bright, colorful, the lights were great, everyone was having fun (especially the guy who danced in first) and most importantly, CK & Casey looked gorgeous.



And then there’s Dinah & Roland, whom Flo can’t get enough of as you can tell from her previous posts. I think Flo has made it right - remember your first date? the queasy tummy, anticipation, wanting but yet not sure if you should do it. Dinah & Roland are something like that. It’s beautiful watching Roland proclaim his love for Dinah and her not knowing how to respond… so, she says thank you. -laughs. Everything about them is awkward but peaceful - it’s quite certain they have found the best person to fit each others’ souls.
p/s: they met at a bus-stop.



So, it has come to a point in Meoworks that our couples are beautiful like that - each have their own uniqueness and love story. -sigh. I love weddings, and everything about them.



p/s: i suspect flo has a problem cos she has unquenchable thirst. note: must see doc.



from the carrie who’s trying not to ramble

So I’ve just watched Carrie’s draft edit of Dinah and Roland’s day.
As I had mentioned previously, they are a simple, straight forward and … shy couple.



-grin



remember your first date?
all that uncertainty and churning tummy of emotions?
and how u have to try to contain everything in?
yup, that’s exactly how it was like for them.



it’s reallyreallyreally sweet.

Theirs was a simple and straight forward affair put together by Spellbound Weddings (yup, it’s our first time working together with the girls and they made everything seem like a breeze.)



Theirs is the most relaxing/stress free wedding I’ve ever had for the entire 2009. If only we can have more of such…… day started @ 9am, dinah was already waiting outside the church half hr b4 her scheduled march in, ceremony went smoothly which was followed by a delicious lunch (great cupcakes! moist and tasty. and oh, dinah gave HER cupcake to zhing from spellbound. -shakes head) most amazingly, both dinah and roland made it a point to talk to every single guest even to the point of forsaking their own lunch.




flo
(sorry for the short post, brains r being fried by body’s absurd belief in being dehydrated though tummy has 2l of water passing thru it over the last 5 hrs.)

is it just me or does everyone feel the same too?



ever since dinah and roland’s AD last sat, i’ve been downing 3557562l of water. (okok, im bs-ing. it’s abt 3l of pure water everyday.) it’s more than my usual intake of liquids but things ain’t improving.



not only do i have to tahan the niapniap feeling on my tongue, i’ve to wake up with a nosebleed today.



-mutters.
