Well before I start,I would firstly want to congratulate the newly weds MR.Rifaei and Nadia Tan.You guys probably wont know them as Rifaei is my girl's brother and yeah "newly weds=happy time".
For the past 2 weeks or so I had been rather busy so didnt really have time to update. Anyways,helped out at the wedding.My girl's mum hired me as the photographer for the "nikah and the chinese tea ceremony"(the bride is chinese).While the professional photgrapher would take the actual wedding.--sounds like another khairudin is in the making
I was rather fidgety about the job.As it was about a year ago that I had taken photographs or let alone use a DSLR.Used a canon 20D and surprisingly,for an old model the photos were awesome.The nikah was "havoc" there were so many makcik's and pakcik's trying to snap photos of the nikah.I had to squeeze my way through to get the right angles and stuff.Photos with familes and friends were all taken.By the end of the day I had snapped 400+ photos.Im pretty sure the Tuk-kadi was blinded by all the camera flashes.
Aside of having to reach Senkang/Punggol at 8 in the morning.The second day was more relaxing or should I say peaceful-er?Well I was considerably astonished about the chinese culture.The sabo-ing process(the part when the sisters of the bride negotiate for money and stuff before they let the groom meet the bride) was awesome and the tea ceremony was certaintly respectful in a sense.Headed back to my girl's house to take more photos and another tea ceremony.This time the groom's parents.I didn't know lipton tea was so highly regarded.By then my job wa pretty much done as the newly weds would then make their way to the actual wedding while I went home to snooze. Taking photos sure is a draining job.
On the very next day,it was JALAN RAYE!Met up with the good old gang.Awesomeness I say but the travelling time really did burned our jalan raye short.Ouh well, we got an impressive 7-8 houses of
-raye money
-photos
-feroz calling irwan "Jonas brothers"
-Good food
-and Aiman acting like a fool he is
Well you guys might have heard that the outing ended with a bang!Well it was asyraf's dumb lift and out of all the houses it was the last house.Well all I could reflect upon that incident is why the hell did asyraf come back down with us?When he could just snooze on his soft couch.Nice one Kratz.you wasted 15 mins of our lives.
