To everyone here,my friends!!Wish all of you a happy christmas and enjoy yourself is what matters most!!I know many of you did not receive any cards,gifts from me,but you know I'm always wishing everyone of you to have a wonderful day ,not just Christmas,but everyday.
=) I'm going to Singapore tomorrow for my first christmas there,hope it will be an enjoyable trip.=) nevertheless,I'll capture more photos to put it up here if possible.I promise for a longer post after Christmas,so just be patient a bit and wait for me.=)Hakuna matata,have a nice day!!
A little different from the previous one,I suppose this Christmas will be a little bitter.Our family trip to Taiwan has been cancelled,I feel a little disappointed.But I'm rather sad for something else,always being a promise breaker,I feel guilty to tell my pen-pal that I couldn't make it again.A million apologizes will not help me to feel any better.Really hope to meet him some other time,maybe,but definitely not this time.He's an old friend of mine,I've known him for about 8 years.The rare part is that we still keep in touch through letters besides chatting on MSN.He's more than a pen-pal,a true friend who is growing up with me together,go to school,hang out with his peeps,doing some similar things,enjoying the high school student's life,the only difference is that my country starts with M and his starts with T...yes,Taiwan.Perhaps different gender will be another difference.
Back to the topic,I've received some invitations from my peeps,from hanging out to party.I really thought that my Christmas is going to be devided to all these.However,ended up I'm declinining them one by one,because at the very last minute,I will follow my family to Singapore.Maybe it will be another different experience,though Singapore is so near,yet so far.I'm celebrating christmas in Sg for the first time.Feeling a bit down,hope the Santa Claus is going to lift up my holly spirit again,perhaps the decorative christmas tree will do.I will stay there for a few days,so my christmas presents just have to be delayed,tee hee hee,don't mind if it's handed up late on your hand.Always save the best for last,isn't it!!Christmas is one of my favourite festivals,maybe I'm influenced by the childhood scene of santa in red,sending gifts everywhere,or maybe the beautiful christmas tree.I just like it!!My ideal Christmas will always be a White Christmas,very simple,that's because I like Winter.White christmas is rather romantic,I think it comes best with the presence of snow.I wish I could stand under the tree,on top of the snow .Some day......Some day....This is what I've promised myself!!
And I somehow agree with Mk's point,and I believe in Santa.Everyone has a Santa in their heart,never notice that they are the one.Believe it,maybe it's just by your side,it doesn't have to fulfill every of your demand,it also includes healing your precious soul.And I really need a Santa for the moment!!Wish everyone will find their Santa's,it can also be a person in real,that's the best Santa,isn't it!!Na,you gave me this idea,mk!!haha,wishlist is going to be posted soon!!Atleast let me tell out what I wish to have..though I would not have it!!It's also a happiness to share..
Photoshoot???It seems like a thing that will mostly happen on the celebrity's world.However,my sister just came out with this idea few weeks ago,suggesting our family to have a photo session of our own just before her wedding.It's a forever memory since it is going to be framed and hung in the living room,where everyone will see it,atleast once.I just can imagine how big it is to me...make up?hair stylist?nice costumes?......yea,and these were what really happened on that day.It was on a sunday,4.12.2005.I had to take a day off from working for this. It was all out of my control,and I never expected it to be a 6-7 hour photo session.
Firstly,I woke up at 9.30 a.m and started to dress up.All of us had picked the dress to wear just a day before,even matched it with nice shoes.After getting ready ,we went to the studio at 10.30a.m.It was exactly the same place which my sister had her wedding photos taken.We reached there at 11.00a.m.Unfortunately,we were too early for it,so we waited til 11.30a.m.And the people in charge came.A total of 6 of us,women+ladies,xD haha,all crowded in the second floor where they had a place for preparations before the photo session.Then we started the make-up session.A total of 6 of us(included both family sides of the bride and groom).The 2nd floor was crowded with a bunch of ladies and women all in a sudden,and it took 2 and 1/2 hour in order to finish with that.I was the last to do the make-up,so I waited the longest!!=)Luckily to have the I-pod with me.
The photoshoot started at about 1.30 p.m.Looking at my family members,all dressed up appropriately,no,it was BEAUTIFULLY...hahaha,I had a very starnge feeling.But I'm still going to see this on the exact day of my sis's wedding.Then the photographer thought us some poses to pose..and we actually just followed his instruction!!Smile was the only thing I needed to do!!
The colourful background everyone sees was nothing but just a big cloth they hung it up there.In fact,there were a few different colours backgrounds there,they just need to roll the cloth up to change one.First,we took a big family photos of the bride's and groom's side.Later on,we started to have pictures of my family as well as my siblings and I.We took about 10 shoots then everything was done.But it was already 3 for the 10 shoots.I felt myself so precious suddenly,hahahah!!We left the studio finally,and went to the restaurant opposite to have our lunch,yes,with our make up on our face.
Around 4 p.m,we went back to the studio to select the photos to be developed into large photos and framed.=D Hahaa,and we just actually simply picked 4 nice one.Hmm..thought it might be hang in my house for the next 10 years,but my sleepiness has inhibited me to think much about it.I slept in the car,and quickly take off my high heels the first moment I got up to the car...then...zzzzzzzz until we got home!!
I think it's a special experience because it's a rare chance our family can gather together and have this photo session.I know my mom purposely had this so that it can be kept as a memory forever.Especially after jie's marriage,they will be only 4 of us left.And we will soon be seperated for our own new lives to lead.and 2 days later,the CHONG's family,the scene of 6 of us will only remain as a memory.....because..........I have a jiefu now.And the Chong's family has expanded to 7 members,haha,though Pluto should be counted as one too!!! so 8 members,and soon it is going to be nine.=) We are a happy family,we always are.And i think those who have large family members should really take the oppurtunity to have atleast a photo session of the family once in life.It's very different from what you have taken usually.And you will never forget the day,a precious memory!!
