Weekend Burnt

Damn tiring weekend. Haven't been waking up at 4+am since dunno when. I joined Hock in his AD wedding photography journey from gatecrashing to the final church wedding.

Quite an interesting yet exhausting profession. Which is why Hockie has got tired of it and is looking for a job with a stable stream of income. And since DSLRs are so cheap and good nowadays, there has been more competition from other AD wedding photographers than ever before. Still, as a part-time job, it's really quite a lucrative business.

It was quite a budget wedding for the couple of A & D, and with minimum sabotage from the sisters. There were only 4 sisters and 2 brothers for this gatecrashing. And the couple went to Clarke Quay for a bit of photoshoot before having a church wedding at St. Theresa's Church at Kampong Bahru yesterday. The whole thing ended at 4pm. Phew almost 12 hours. But according to Hock, it was one of the least tiring of all those wedding photography he did.
So many animals and insects came to congratulate the couple.

Coincidentally one of the wedding couples' parents were saying they wanted to buy 1026 for lottery since the wedding day was 1026 on the Chinese calendar, whereas my unit number was 1026 too. And the 1st prize was 0162! Too bad nobody bought System Roll. Otherwise it's a whopping $2000 prize! Dammit! But luckily I thought of buying iBet and so got a meagre win of $83. Minus off the amount I spent to buy, I can't even treat my family to a nice meal at some restaurant. Hahaha... but small win is also a win right? Seems like my luck is changing for the better woohoo! Tio toto next? Wahahha!
