I've been away from photography for nearly 2 months due to wedding prep and also post wedding tiredness. I randomly selected one of my photo submitting for a local branding product's photography competition- Rexona Singapore. I submitted in August I think, and the draw date was in Sept 22.
Submission were rather different from my previous photography competition. Last time was straight from computer, but this time round? It's Instagram! Rexona creates a hashtag page on #domoresg for participants to hashtag their photos into the page. And there, I did as instructed.
Within a week from the closing date, I receive a reply message from @rexonasingapore that my photo has been selected as the winner. I remembered I was attracted by the prize and therefore join the competition. The grand prize is a iPad mini and one year supply of rexona. Of course, I'm attracted to the iPad mini. Though I already have one, but having one more exchange more cash flow for me.
So after getting the reply that I won, I was still wondering if I won the iPad mini. I wasn't sure how many people are selected as the winner. After I clarified, I then knew I was the ONLY winner out of the 300 over submission. How lucky I was?! For the 8th award I won so far, I am definitely more comfortable with my progression. And I'm getting nearer towards my goal this year! Work hard Anna!
PS: I'm physically restricted now to further my photography journey, but I'm not giving up!!!
It feels like it's been so long since I properly blog about life? Getting very tired recently. I supposed its due to the wedding preps. But it's really funny because no matter how early I turn in the night before, I still feels damn fatigue to start the morning. Like really sleepy the whole day. Like I don't know what else I can do to boost my energy level.
I recently bought my 6th lens, 28-300mm. I really need this wide range lens for my upcoming event shoot and travel trips. It's really useful to have a wide range when you know need to keep changing the lens. I got it at a friendship price of $930. And I'm going for LIFE Centre Symposium for the first time. Tomorrow at Orchard Hotel. My role? Event photographer. I'm grabbing opportunities to shoot. And this is the first event I shoot post wedding. I need to get back to shoot. I've missed out on moon cake festival and the F1 fever! And I've not submit any photos for any competition for the past 1 month. Gotta get back to life again.
It's day 2 of being Mrs. Chua.. Entering into my next phase of life. Wedding was a success, and I'm really thankful for all the helps by my brothers and sisters, not forgetting our close friends. Thanks to Kelvin and Kathleen ( from RENATUS) for photographing and videoing my lovely life event. they have done an EXCELLENT job! Thanks to shiyun, who have been doing all my make ups and hairdo since my pre-wedding shoot till actual day, making sure i am the glamorous girl of the day. Thankful for all the well-wishes from friends and family. I'm glad the wedding is finally over, because this is one of the most challenging event I've ever planned for. Really not easy...
There are many things to adapt, such as calling my in-laws father-mother instead of uncle-aunty. Adapting the roles as a wife and adapting with married lifestyle. Although I've no idea what life ahead will be for Ray and I, I know we will be working harder for the unknown future.
Now that wedding is over, it's time to look forward to our honeymoon, happening in 98 days. Can't wait to go New Zealand!! :)
PS: hubby and I were reading my blog post, that I posted in Nov 2007(the day we first met), last night. It brings back a lot of memories and laughter thinking back about my thoughts i felt towards him. Those promises I made back then, ohhhh... Hilarious! I will, still, continue to blog and maybe one fine day when we dig out to read again, we will continue to laugh and reflect back on our life... :)
one more apple product into my gadget list. Manage to buy iPad Mini at only $9. Thanks to StarHub, I re-contract my mobile plan with the use of the $100 voucher that was given to me, I got my iPad mini..!
It's quite ridiculous when I found out that iPad mini can send out messages but cannot install whatsapp. But still, I prefer holding an IPad than using Samsung galaxy.. Now I can view my photos with slightly bigger screen!!
The reason why I stick to Apple product when majority of the people has changed to Samsung system, that is because Apple still provides the best screen when you use to view photos. And I really need the accuracy of the colors. So I'm still an Apple supporter. Time being, there are still a lot of upgrading for my camera gears first before I can purchase my MacBook.
After holding my galaxy tab for 8 months, and with not much use because I can't share the same apps as my iPhone, I managed to sell it off at $200. I'm still making a profit! Isn't it awesome? Happy with my iPad mini now. With the new red color skin that I bought as well.. :)
