shiny happy people

29.7.02 come thursday will by my dear boleh's (mom's brother-in-law) birthday, but his just-married daughter sharon decided to serve a dinner treat on a prior weekend, 3 tables worth, at a restaurant round hong lim complex. did some last-minute photography for my technical assessment; arrived the place sweatier than a suckling pig about to face the firing squad. aboh (mom's sis) specifically asked that i bring my digicam to take a few photos in that cramped area. wasn't really in 'the mood' of digital photography having gotten used to the addictive 'tchik-tchak' noise of a manual cam's shutter.what the hey: 
(one of the [or probably the only] more interesting shots for the nite, boleh's daughter's husband's mother's brother engaging in conversation, in the limelight) soon, me cousin sharon decided to have the restaurant's AV guy play the vcd of the video captured throughout wedding day. quite simple actually, there're 2 tv's in the room (accomodating 3 tables + providing decent privacy) from which everyone would be able to watch the video while dining on the 10-course dinner. poor sharon + felix had a wicked breach of privacy done against them - the video played in the room NEXT to where we were munching. you could imagine the range of reactions the people next door were exhibiting when a complete stranger's wedding video cropped up halfway through a karaoke song... 
(kuah simi! cannot see people watching other people's vcd is it?!) 
(*this* was playing in our room instead - somehow the av dude switched channels for room 1 + 2. great grammar there, that's a phrase that'll send desmond kon straight to the bartender..) 
(everyone singing the birthday song & staring at the tv. apparently they were playing the sado-pedophile version of 'happy birthday to you' on the karaoke screen) 
(boleh having trouble with his 3rd blow on 3 non-trick candles.. while his family + son-in-law watch on looking quite supportive to say the least...) 
(another plus of having 2 tv's in the room i guess..) it was a good dinner anyhoos. though i had some problem getting the prawn, chicken, mushroom, broccoli + fish shreds out of my newly fitted braces, the gravy tasted good. i wish my stomach acid wasn't so ravenous then; woke up this morning with a stomach trying to suck the intestine + gullet in :P thank you jie jie sharonnnnnn! good thing we all opted not to have a karaoke session after dinner, else the horror of listening to my uncle's and auntie's rendition of a "mourrrrrniiing haaas bloooowww-kenn" duet would soon be a reality all over again. *phew* here's a few more shots that night. on the way home. 
(some abstract shot of the lamp above, with the nifty IR mode..) 
(same subject, different angle) following few are 'on-truck' shots :) 
(bukit timah road at night, experiencing an earthquake) 
(self-explanatory i suppose.) 
(one of two shots i ackshully took with a blast of flash to blind all who come near..) 
(a lancer and a viki take on marymount road in the hours of darkness) 
(toyota cabbie keeping stagnant, with zebra-crossing prey in sight) 
(this is adam king at 50kph.) oh yeah, did i mention i had the bottom row of teeth chained together on saturday? now you know - don't think that i'm going to let you people off without looking at 2 rows of demented teeth! muahahahah! share my pain! :P 
rich, justin + randy are possibly suffering from stomach cramps from all that laughter courtesy of SNL videos on my %&#@* heavy laptop i brought for no reason.. hey, at least it made a few peoples' day. gd'nite all, mc chinnyboo going to teach the fundamentals of vocal dance music tomorrow. week 5 is already terror to say the least. gulp. cheeeeeers. p.s.: lilen uy's photos are super-queer. in a perplexed kinda way. 0 Comments: |
