It's been 31 days!

Yes, for those who are curious, i've been working in a wedding chapel, Officially started on the 8th of August 2008 - 08.08.08

On my first day, my shift was from 7pm- 12am on that very day! Five weddings during that shift, yup, one wedding every hour, that's how we run it, wedding by the hour!

It seems weird because 080808 seems like such a long time ago but i mentioned that i've only worked or 31 days so far. Well, i'm more of the weekday photographer, sometimes i do go in on the weekend as backup. I don't work on a regular basis unlike those 9-5 jobs from Mondays-Fridays, I go in as i wish! L o L , only joking, i go in only when there's wedding scheduled for photoshoot. Not every couple who gets married there requires photography service, so sometimes i don't need to work. And sometimes a few weddings are split into many hours apart, so i just hand around, help make the place look better, attend to customers bla bla bla.

MY job only requires me to take pictures throughout the wedding ceremony, and some studio-like shots after the wedding, that's our specialty.

But.....

...what i also do at the chapel during free time :

Help the boss with his flowers! Yes, he arranges flowers every week, he gets them fresh from the flower market in efforts to make the chapel more "lovingly" sweet! Hence the way i smell when i get back after work, lilies!!

I also help with some tiny paper work from time to time....wedding certificates etc.

And do make an effort to just clean up whatever mess i find (house-cleaning).

Often times i do help my co-workers to do some of their work, mostly photo related, like attend to couples that would like to view their pictures that were previously taken during their wedding, or help place chosen photos to be sent out to the lab for printing or even help couples select their photos.

Sometimes i do walk couples through the chapel on what will happen during on their wedding day, show them around the chapel, explain to them about photo packages and so on. Sometimes i just can't care less about anything..... =p

After work, of cause i'll have to deal with post-production of what i shot in the chapel, it usually take me about 10 days of less to get them done, it can be fun, it also means i'll be spending loads of time in front of this computer.....i guess my job requires me to take work home ay.

The pay, by standards is pittance, but i've just calculated....and i was amazed no doubt!

My boss, Daniel is actually a fashion designer, he is just helping take over the business from his parents due to medical reseaons. For those who watched the 1st and 2nd season of Project Runway, you might be able to recognize him.

5ive!

It's now the 5 of us here, and it's complete - as a family! =)
But it's going to be a short one where we are all together, Jean's got to leave for school up north of LA, and parents will be leaving next week....at least we got together for a great occasion.


FIVE is always a good number, it's the amount of members in my family, it's my house number and it's my favorite number! It's just sad to see everyone leaving again....although this five of us will once again unite in the near future!

Ho me in com ple te

2 + 2 = Almost 5ive!!!

Yet again, this apartment could be called HOME...soon!!!
What a lovely sight, we've been having visitors from Kajang since early August, never thought we will have so many different groups of visitors over.

Home Sweet Home!!
