"I'm Sticking With You"

Velvet Underground

I'm sticking with you 
'cos I'm made out of glue 
Anything that you might do 
I'm gonna do too 

You held up a stage coach in the rain 
And I'm doing the same 
So you're hanging from a tree 
And I made believe it was me 

I'm sticking with you 
'cos I'm made out of glue 
Anything that you might do 
I'm gonna do too 

  This is quite an unusual choice of love song from this couple, but I love it! I met Charlene at Jocelin's wedding a year ago. She was one of the bridesmaids. A few months later, I donated a voucher of  two hours couple Polaroid photo shoot session for Jocelin's charity event. Since then, I always wonder who was the "lucky one" who bit for my photo shoot voucher? To my surprise, Charlene was the one who bit it! Yay! 

     We started from having coffee at De Clieu, and then shooting along Gertrude Street and Smith Street. It was fun doing photo shoot with them, and I love to hear Charlene's laugh. Thank you for being so patient with my old Polaroid Camera during the photo shoot. 

    Charlene is from Philippines, while Michael's background is Vietnamese, so I suggested that we should do a potluck dinner! I will bring Thai food, Charlene will make Filipino food, and Jocelin will bring Indonesian food (beef rendang maybe) haha!  

    All photos were taken with Fuji FP-3000B Black and White Polaroid Film and Fuji FP-100C Color Polaroid Film.

 "Loving You"

by Minnie Ripperton

Loving you is easy 'cause you're beautiful
And making love with you is all I wanna do
Loving you is more then just a dream come true 
And everything that I do

is out of loving you

La la la la la, la la la la la... 

No-one else can make me feel the colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old and we will live each day 

in spring time
Cause loving you has made my life so beautiful 
And everyday of my life is filled with loving you

Loving you, I see your soul come shining through
And every time that we
I'm more in love with you

    When I asked Vince and Ryo what's their love song?  Vince answered:" Loving you." "By Minnie Ripperton?" I asked. Vince was surprised that I know that old song. In fact, I think it's a very good choice of song, a song that never fades through time.

     Vince has a pair of green hands, the house is full of plants which makes it lively. I was surprised that both of their parents speak Mandarin and Hokkien, because my friends from Jakarta only speak Indonesian and English. I learnt a few Indonesian slang from Vince, we had fun laughing at my Indonesian accent haha! 

     This couple are too shy to kiss in public, so cute! During the photo shoot, I felt so blessed to have known them and wish to keep in touch with them, but I was worried that they might not feel the same. To my surprise, Vince told me to keep in touch! Wow I was so happy! 

     The best reward for me as a wedding photographer is building good friendship, after a series of taxing photo shoots. It's very humbling to know that, besides my hard works, I am being recognized and appreciated.

    Vince and Ryo, both of you are very nice and beautiful people. Thank you for having me on your wedding. I can't wait for my kuih lapis!
