Outdoor Shoot-cum-Outing

POST-GRADUATION: I'm not abt to waste $280 for a family portrait (graduation).  There's probably just gonna be my Mom who wld be bothered for all this.  I also don't think a family portrait is of any importance as compared to the degree.  Neither am I abt to waste $150 for 5-6 individual shots.  Ok, I know it's professionally done, but once agn, what worth is those photos as compared to the degree?  When searching for a job, I'll be showing my degree/transcript, not the portraits, na?!

So, I decided to let Anishar practise her photography (she seems to enjoy it so much, she just doesn't get tired..as opposed to the model getting tired of smiling! Haha!).  It started from a wishful plan...which developed into a confirmed agenda just last night : After zuhur.  I'll solat, get ready, and meet Anishar & Gang @ 2.30pm.  Anishar was so keen to break the norm & do an outdoor shoot.  I wasn't game for it..that was gonna be so damn embarassing.  Habibi Liah was bugging me to go for it.  To make things worse, even Nikky had her hands & legs up & told me to GO FOR IT, IT'LL BE AWESOME (somehow..the word AWESOME looks nice when it comes from her!).  So ok ok ppl...if the weather's good...then outdoor it shall be, otherwise, Habibi Liah's living room (1 of her wall is painted dark grey & it makes cool studio backdrop!)

Anyways, today came.  It was a wet drizzly morning both @ Tampines & Telok Blangah Hts, so we were supposed to play by ear.  I went out for a while arnd 11-ish to do some banking transaction (pay is out!!).  I got terribly delayed due to technical problems with almost all ATM machines @ Tampines Central & as a result, I reached home abt 1.10pm.  Darn! Terribly late!  So I had a quick bath, solat & get ready & by then it was 2.10pm.  I went down...a cab stopped in front of my nose..& I got bitten by the lazy bug!  There's $120 in my purse & I'm carrying an extra hand-baggage (with my graduation outfit).  So..the cab it is.  Driver was duh, didn't even know where's Labrador Park, so I told him "doesn't matter, just go Bt Merah Interchange!".  Called Anishar to tell I'll be there in 20 mins (ie. 2.40pm), and guess what?!  They were not ready, so I had to head to Telok Blangah Hts!  I reached there, there were some nice benches at the bus stop.  I lay my bags neatly next to me, crossed my leg & started breathing the fresh air (not to mention the carbon monoxide from the passing vehicles!).  I called Anishar, Habibi Liah answered & guess what?!  Anishar is not ready & not gonna be ready for a while...so I was made to go up to her place!  Think that's possibly 1 of my embarassing moments, coz I had to meet their Mom!!  Oh, in case u all didn't know, I'm goddamn shy!!  But oh well...the good thing out of that was: I got to taste their Mom's mutton curry (powerrr!!).  Mom's cooking is always the BEST!

Ok, so eventually, we left her hse almost 4pm!!  Took cab (almost encountering 1 big dog & 2 small puppies!  Mammeeeeee...helppppp!) to Esplanade.  The worst was to put on my gown in public view!  By the time I took the 1st shot...I was able to imagine everyone naked & all my inhibitions got brutally murdered!!!! Snap snap snap snap...from outside Esplanade to inside, from Fullerton Hotel to High Court!! Whoaa...I've nvr walked this much!  I wish I was a baby..I really envied Zoha (in a pram!)!!! 

I'll post the pictures on my multiply album once I've got them all from Anishar.  Meanwhile, from my camera, Habibi Liah managed to snap these for me.  Above all, I think it was really fun time for the 4 of us!!  Zoha was sleeping half the time & woke up just in time to enjoy herself!  We wound up @ BK @ Raffles City Shopping Ctr...*burrrppp*...b4 the 3 musketeers took a cab while I took the train back home!
