Spring Series: Pink

Specially for Ally,

        I saw a girl with red lipstick, carrying a red colour Mickey Mouse Longchamp handbag walked pass my "weindow" in a hurry. She was unique and mysterious to me, which reminded me of the song "Aubrey" by Bread:

And Aubrey was her name

A not so very ordinary girl of name

But who's to blame?

For a love that wouldn't bloom

For the hearts that never played in tune

Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing

Take away the words that rhyme, it doesn't mean a thing

         Ally studies fashion design, and it makes sense that she has her own unique style. I always wish to have her as my photo shoot model, but I couldn't find a good reason until last Tuesday. A friend of mine who is also called Ali, couldn't be our model for last Friday's Pink Theme photo shoot, so I prayed to God to find me the perfect model. In my heart, it whispered:" Ally, get Ally your neighbour." Alright, I braved myself up and knocked on Ally's door, no one home. So I went back to my working desk and waited for Ally to pass by my window. A few hours later, while I was picking up something on the floor, I heard footsteps, I quickly put my head near the window to see if it was Ally! I saw long brown hair, must be her! I ran upstairs and knocked on her door. Her housemate Nicole opened the door and Ally was standing behind him eating a strawberry yogurt, I said in a loud voice:" I am looking for Ally!" 

       Thank God she agreed to be my model! Yay!!! But Ally warned me that she is not photogenic. I told her:" Don't worry, I don't like pretty models." And she laughed out so loud!!! Oops did I say something wrong again? Did she think that I thought she is not pretty? "I like it when you said you don't like pretty models!" She laughed. 

         I realized Ally actually likes to talk and she is a very friendly person. The photos turned out breath taking. I love her style and her genuine expression. I am so glad that I followed what my heart told me -- go get Ally. A million thanks to Tessa for the set up, May for the beautiful make up and Ally for being the perfect model for this photo shoot!

Specially for Denara,

Denara is my new neighbour. She moved from Uzbekistan to Melbourne ten years ago with her family. For geographical reason, all Uzbekistani must either learn to speak Russian or Mandarin, which makes Denara a genius in languages - she speaks Uzbek, Turkish, Russian, Mandarin and French. She sees me working at my window everyday and described me in a most creative sentence:

" I am weiving at Wei Wei, the weiferful weiman who is sitting by her weindow weirking for Aweiding." 

Her favourite colour is Turquoise and her drawer is full of Turquoise jewelries! Our first conversation was about her shoes, I asked her where did she get her black boots and without any hesitation she offered to bring me shopping and even cooked us yummy Turkish food.  I love her personalities, so friendly and thoughtful, she is definitely the best person to hang out with. She likes to ask for kisses and whenever she does something wrong, she would shout:" Love me! Say you love me!" How can we not love her?

We had fun doing the photo shoot together because she brought us a lot of laughter. On the way to the golf course for photo shoot, people couldn't get their eyes off of her. There's a random man passing us, and Denara joked that:" I am going to attend my wedding, where is my husband? There he is! You're late!"

Denara, it was such a pleasure to have you as our model. Thank you so much for the friendship. I love you for who you are!

          Thanks to Ken, this was my first collaboration with Tessa and May Vern. When I first stepped into Tessa's house, there were flowers everywhere, including the shower room, and I was amazed by her passion. From that day on, I started to appreciate flowers and learn how to take care of them. Thank you to the wonderful team who suffered in the cold weather, Tessa, May Vern, Reegan, Dean, and also Jason for the delicious dinner!

Sue Kim + Eric - Will You Marry Me?

03.10.2013

Once upon a time, a best man fell in love with a maid of honour at a wedding. A year later, the best man planned for a surprise proposal under a giant fish and a love shape fairy light. He spent days making the love shape fairy light and told her it was for a school charity. He had his friends set up the lights and had us to take some photos. There she came, and everyone got ready in their positions... Suprise!!!! She was so excited and jumping for joy:! "I am engaged!" This is the love story of a best man and a maid of honour. 

Congratulations to Sue Kim and Eric! We feel so honour to be part of your surprise proposal! 

You guys are so cute together!
