New toy

Thank you daddy~

We are humans, after all.

It's been a while back since I last felt this sort of happiness. You are the sole reason why. Thank you for always being here for me, even when I make it difficult for you to tolerate me. Alhamdulillah, in our relationship, we rarely fight. Maybe it's a sign that we are compatible. Maybe its a sign that we are both two adults who know how to handle problems the best way. But when we do fight (dear God this will sound weird) I feel thankful too. Because that makes us humans, that shows that we are normal, just like other couples. 

Thank you for always bringing out the best in me. 

That's why I love you.

Wedding photograph ideas

I'm way far ahead of myself here. But it's nice looking around the internet to browse through wedding pictures, isn't it? Okay don't answer that. Now lets have a look...

Stolen moments kind of photograph. It looks really amazing as portraits pictures. I love the idea of the bride and groom is sort of an 'excessories' to the photo. No faces, just figures. But it doesn't mean that they are not the main focus of the picture though. There is balance between the married couple and the beautiful surroundings. Amazing.

Classic black and white. As the name suggest, classy. I figured even a baby can edit pictures to black and white. But the moments captured in the photos need to be special, extraordinary. The angle. The size. The proportion. Only then the photos will look stunning in black and white. And again, you don't have to get the shots of the faces of the couple to get a great photo. Like in the first black and white picture. Just hands is necessary.

'Softened' black and white photos with the hint of colours. Zombee used to edit pictures like these and send them to me. It's just classically elegant. Seems like old pictures. Gives you the idea of memories. Good memories. Mesmerizingly one of a kind. 

Polaroid-ish. Simple and stunning. Very similar to the black and white photos but this one has a more  unorthodox feeling to it. Seems 'informal' but in a good way of course. Again, the moment, angle, size, everything needs to be taken into special consideration. 

Photos with edited colour temperature, tint and saturation. Easy editing. But I love how this photo put some emphasis on the yellow trees. And the playful sunlight just add extra touch to the already beautiful natural background. Very artistic. Nature is incredible isn't it?

My favourite. A very simple picture, yet the beauty is there. Kudos for emphasizing the background. At night! Little editing was done. But night time wedding pictures? You don't see that too often, do you? Natural looking and very sophisticated. And you don't sweat as mush as the afternoon weather too. But your OP needs to be a genius playing with lights.

P/S: Notice how I like pictures that DO NOT emphasize on the faces of the bride and groom? 

Thoughtless Thursday

Life lesson

A turkey was chatting with a bull “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.

Nak baju reception macam ni, boleh? Cantik sangat! Ok kalau aku pakai maybe tak cantik sangat kot...

Teaser: Busana majlis pertunangan

Bright much? Hahaha! Kain ni dibeli online daripada Kak Wina. Kak Wina ni asalnya orang Penang tapi dia kahwin dengan orang Indonesia, jadi sekarang dia menetap di Indonesia. Dia ada bisnes jual kain secara online. Jumpa Kak Wina pun sebab Miza yang kenalkan. Apparently diorang ni Blogger buddies. Memang rambang mata pilih mana satu yang nak beli. 

And guess what? Last-last your truly angkut 5 pasang! 3 pasang kebaya and 2 pasang kurung. Tapi dapat save posting cost tau, sebab masa beli ni Kak Wina nak balik Malaysia melawat family dia. Jadi dia post dari Penang instead of Indonesia. Jimat pos!

Masa beli kain-kain ni, takdak niat langsung nak buat pakai tunang. Niatnya nak buat baju raya atau baju function/dinner. Masa tu plan nak bertunang pun belum ada! Sebab baru je serious ngan Zombee. Bila kain dah sampai, this one is my favourite. Kain ni 2M beaded lace + 2M satin untuk set kurung moden. Warna asal gelap sikit dari gambar, and more to maroon than bright pink like above. 

Masa dah plan bertunang, decide nak guna kain ni buat baju tunang sebab masa tu dah beli kain-kain ni dekat 5 bulan tapi tak tempah satu pun lagi! Lepas decide tu, datang idea nak buat baju nikah pakai 1 set kain lagi yang dibeli dari Kak Wina jugak! Warna cream, french lace juga untuk set kurung modern. Tapi yang tu secret dulu, tak boleh tunjuk lagi ye!

Sekarang kain dah hantar pada tailor. She's my mom's tailor dan dah jahit banyak baju kurung yang design-design mencabar (read:pelik) for my mom. Apparently she has been a tailor since 1973 (baca banner kat kedai dia masa hantar kain hari tu). So hopefully dia dapat jahit ikut design yang dibincang sama-sama dulu. Harga pun affordable, tak mahal sangat.

Tak sabar nak tunggu siap! :)
