Last outdoor photoshoot tmr :)

Ya, so if you are wondering how come i've got so many days of shooting, it like duh.... bcos i'm a star!! ya in my own world.... haha, no la, originally it's only 2 days, one day indoor and one day out... and us being us, always late for appointments, both days arrived late at the studio, so cannot finish all the outdoor locations. So tmr we are gg to Sultan gardens... yeah, i think it's only a 5 min drive from venus, gotta reach there at 0930hrs.... so early, shit, i gotta sleep early, and still got so many things to do, gotta go buy contact lens and go Tangs Vivo get a bow tie for the BF later....

Worries---> Dunno if we are driving into JB by ourself tmr, bcos the last time we wen in alone we got pulled over by their customs officers for (in their own words) "we commited two crime" 1. driving in the chevron and 2. driving w/o licence, WTF rite, Bf din bring license..... big deal..... ( roll eyes) so anyway u can guess wat happens next, ask for $$ la, 500RM!!! wa lao... robbery lo... or else, bf needs to go to the TP office and we all get out of the car and my Subaru is gg to get towed!! can u believe it!! No way we r gg to let u take our car... So in the end we bargained for 200 Rm, ya i know u must b thinking y give them so much rite... oh well, take it as charity
for the less privileged...

Ok enough of that unhappy injustice stuff, now for more happy wedding issues, since i'm gg for another shoor tmr, can share w u my comprehensive list of things to bring, while i call it my complete list, the bf simply calls it TOO MUCH STUFF.. haha... oh well, u'll never know wen u might b needing these things... :)

Outdoor photoshoot day 1



Here are my beautiful outdoor pictures taken by our gd fren elvin.. We love it, thanks! :)

We reached Venus abit late, and by the time we got our make up and selected our clothes, it was already noon, so Ray decided to keep Sultan garden for another day. The drive to Desaru took a little over one hour, i had 3 different outfits to change, 2 gowns was provided by Venus and i bought a purple dress from Tangs that cost me $180, so ex, but it's pretty. Liffery did one hairstyle and one makeup, so it was suppose to last for the whole day.

Although it was hot, tiring, i had to walk around in the clumsy heavy gown, change gowns in dirty disgusting toilets, and the sand flies!!! OMG, i was attacked by so many sand flies in the lalang field... it was terrible man, i think i have around 50 bites and i still have the marks to prove it.. yucks... the blood suckers..

Oh yes, as i was saying, although it was all those bad things, i will still do it again, bcos it's fun. In fact, i will! and i'm going to!! Bcos they still owe me Sultan garden and the local outdoors!!! haha.. more pics.. yeahh..

Most of my friends hate gold, i use to dislike gold too untill i know the value of it.
Within a month, i see the price of gold rise from $56 a gram to $61.5...
Stress man, so expensive now, how to buy more...
Anyway gold is such a good investment, I LOVE GOLD... :)
