Done my photoshoot!

Its finally Friday and a truly wet, rainy day!! Just had my photoshoot yesterday and luckily the weather was good (but damn hot!). Had a headache yesterday since I woke up and dun feel good during the PS but glad its finally over! In fact, afternoon time was quite bad as I was feeling giddy from the aftermath of the headache, then nauseous and cun eat much b4 going out for outdoor shots (ard 4pm+) even though I did not take my breakfast and lunch.

Had a total of about 4 outfits indoors, with my wedding gown, my evening gown, a rented Kua and of coz my ROM gown. It was quite fun if not for the stupid headache which must be there at the wrong time (probably kena aabit heatstroke coz I took pm off to search for a Kua the day b4 coz my BS does not have my size and too short notice to find one). The photographer was good as he was able to make us smile naturally very fast and easily. We had fun while taking the shots until I really feel sick. He even let me posed lying down so I can take a rest... haha. He tried to cheer me up coz said I looked to stone but dun help it coz really very torturing. Finally had a small break b4 we went out for outdoors shoot but that was probably the time I felt worst. Took a nap on the way thus felt better later on.

The make-up artist was good as she was very detailed, precise and patient. I especially like the eyebrows she drew and she dun even need to use face ampoules as her products already had the function (to keep make-up stay). Saved me $30 if I had used the previous one for my ROM! Her hairstyling skill was good too as I had about 4 different hairstyles for the PS. Made her promise she will do my make-up on my actual day and dinner!!

Left ard 5pm for the outdoor shoot coz they were considerate that I was having a headache thus pushed the timing abit later for the sun to settle abit. My outdoor gown was a dark green one with highlights of blue (those 2 colours tone type) as they dun have a suitable wedding gown for me. Those that I can fit, I dun quite like the design and probably went to fit too late that there was no time for alterations. I was so busy with house stuff until got no time to really plan for my PS so alot of stuff last min. Plus the BS also abit shorthanded thus probably din really had proper planning.

I also din manage to get my Kua there as they dun have my size and not enough time to get one in. Only realised I had not tried on any Kua until Tuesday when I was down with Xris, Peggy and sis. Good thing someone mentioned during dinner just nerby than we went back again to check. Peggy and Hui helped me to ask their BS and good thing both had Kuas for rental. Chose Hui's one eventually coz it fits better with room and much nicer in details. Its also quite worn out thus managed to negotiate rental to $60 from the original $80. Peggy's side was a new piece but abit tight and of a different design (more beads and sequins thus heavier) and not much details which cost $150. Already told the BS to try get me one by my actual day but seems like chances quite low. Will probably have to rent again (this time maybe from Peggy's BS coz its newer) coz I really like the Kua very much.

Had wanted to go Punggol beach for the outdoor shoot but the sky looks real dark so we changed to Sentosa instead. Went to a pond area and the Siloso beach then last to Fullerton area (bridge area) and we actually met about 7 couples along the way! Took us about less than 2 hrs to complete all the outdoor shots and called it a day. Changed back and removed my make-up at the BS b4 heading for dinner. By then my headache had gone and really opened my appetite!!

Walked abit at Chinatown after dinner and wanted to take a cab home as we were both tired but no empty cabs in sight and so many others were waiting thus still had to take mrt home.
