Morning Glory, “Moody” Zibin & Madeira **************** Zibin’s not yet used to my tendency to whip out my camera at unpredictable moments. Breakfast arrives at the coffee shop. He starts reaching out for it and I go, “Wait wait wait…take photo first!” We’re walking along Sunset Way and we pass by a house with an […]

Framing My Love
Playing with my camera the other night **************** Loving someone isn’t easy. And I don’t mean that swell of affection you feel for someone. I mean the ‘love is a decision’ kind of love. And I am not referring to loving someone when you feel like wringing the person’s neck either. What I’m thinking of […]
A 'Platinum' Friend
In 1991, a girl I had never seen before walked up to me out of the blue and told me, “I know you are Yang Ying’en. I am Cai Enling. I think we should be friends.” In my autograph book at the end of that same year, she wrote as part of her message that […]
"What's the score?"
Overheard: John:*calling out after entering the front door after sending Cathy back* “Kor, what’s the score?” ZB:*calls back from my living room* “Two-Zero” John:*taking off his shoes* “Is Croatia winning?” ZB:*calls out again* “No. Got two zeros. (i.e. 0-0)” ************* Zibin’s sick. He hadn’t taken a day of MC for more than 6 months and […]
In Reply To Hui Mei's Post (by ZB & John)
I showed Zibin Hui Mei’s soccer questions on her most recent blog post and he started dictating me the answers to give. John walked in while I was taking the ‘dictation’, started chiming in, and in the end took over my lap-top and ended up typing the rest of the answers himself. He was so […]
More Soundbites!
Greymatter Photography So far I’ve had appointments with four wedding photographers and I haven’t liked any of their portfolios. (Btw, both Cathy and I are not having studio photography so we’re just looking for actual day photographer.) Cathy had a friend who was extremely pleased with her actual day photographer, and I really liked the […]
Taking it easy
I’ve done a lot of wedding related ‘shopping’ for hotels, gowns, photographers etc. But it was only yesterday that Zibin first saw me try on any bridal gown. And today was the first time we went to check out a photographer and hotel together. I thought it was rather nice that it was Rasa Sentosa […]
Quiet
I love early mornings when I’m up before anybody else. I don’t always wake up early enough to enjoy it, but when I do, I revel in it. It’s like my last 3 weeks in Toronto when I attended 7:30a.m. mass every morning – St. Patrick St. was always so quiet and still at that […]
My Groom the Bargainer
I never thought I’d see Zibin make somebody other than me want to laugh and cry at the same time. But that’s what he did tonight… to Caroline, the designer at Silhouette. *grin* We were trying to get Caroline to bring down the pricing. I’ve always known Zibin to be good at bargaining, but I […]
'Tornado' Ann
‘Busy’ doesn’t quite begin to describe how I’ve been lately. But yep, I always have time to blog. Probably because I write fast when it comes to my blog (if only I write at this speed and efficiency for my thesis!). So many interesting things happen in my life though…things people say, do, my own […]
