Some people do ask me if growing up in a single-parent family has any impact on me. The answer is definitely yes.

We are after all human being with feelings and whatever loss we experience since young will have impact on us.

We will never be sure how many moments we still have in this world, isn’t it?

There are many times I still don’t really understand why couple divorced… 🙁

Though the time I spent with my dad was a short one, lasting merely for 12 to 14 years, I must say that his influence on me is alot.

When young, I have always seen how my dad showered his care and concern on my mommy. He spent every single moment that he has bringing her on holidays, going for tim-sum (Chinese tea-break) and snapping photos of her.

My daddy really loves my mommy alot and he worked really hard, taking more than ten accounting assignments home so that he could provide more for his family. Yet, no matter how busy he was, he would spent his time guiding me in my studies and he would then worked till late into the night.

My father was a great man!

My mother once told me that despite the time she spent wth her husband was only a short one. However, she always remembers all the things he had done for her…such as looking after her when she was unwell…doing most of the housechores…and strivng so hard to father me from cooking my meals to bringing me home from school…

How many cross road will there be after wedding?

We have to face changes in our lives many times over whether we like it or not.

There are making new friends…new girl friends or boy friends…a wedding to go through…setting up a new family…

Even after marriage, when the wife moves into the husband’s home, there is alot of adjustment for her too…such as fitting into the family’s routines…waking up early to do marketing…doing the housechores…etc…PLUS meeting the expectations of parent-in-laws.

Likewise for the husband, the wife’s family may have different expectation on the new “son”…such as abiding by their family’s rules and guidelines…contributing to the family’s expenditure, calling the parents “mommy” and “daddy” and so on…(I’m sure you, as you are reading this post…you do have more to contribute…)

I was reading this post from from this blog that because they are in the process of relocating, the author, who is the husband, has to stop blogging for a period of time…Hmmm…after that, he will have to spend another period of time to readjust and also making sure his family is getting used to the new environment…

Married couple, for the very first time, have a taste of getting familiar to their new surrounding…not just because they have moved into a new house…but most importantly, they have started to live close to each other…

Last time, they were dating once a week or at most twice…

Now, the couple sees each other almost everyday…there will certainly be intrusion into each other’s personal space…

For me, my personal space is very big…partially because being the only child in the family and I have my own bedroom and study room all to myself…

I have been receiving emails asking me to quote a price for photoshoots (mostly outdoor)

I am really thankful for the trust and confidence my readers have on me.

I still feel my photography skill is not very good yet.

Anyway, this post is to re-feature the photos I took for my pretty cousin during her solemnisation.

You can vote for the photos on the left sidebar.

How I started off…

“Thank you speech:

Thank you very much to our relatives, friends and colleagues for sharing with me this joyous occasion. One of the principles that I hold on strongly to is: when I drink the water from the well, I must remember the source of the water.

If without the different guidance and support given by everyone of you here, I won?t be who I am today.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to my mother especially, my relatives, friends and colleagues for helping me in any way in my journey from childhood till now.”

“To mommy:
Thank you very much for raising me up single-handedly. Father has built my foundation and mother has carry on where he left off. I know it is very tough for you to manage the house alone, plus to raise me up into a healthy adult and to educate me and see me through university days. And thank you for helping me in preparing this wedding too.

To relatives:
Despite I am the only child, I have sisters who adore me.
Despite the absence of my father, I have uncles who treated me like their sons.
Of course, not forgetting the aunties who protect me and take good care of me.

To friends:
Thank you for being there for me when I need you. Thank you for being so supportive. Thank you for providing a shoulder to cry on, to confide in, to learn from.
