I had totally forgotten about the interview as it was done quite awhile ago, so when Sherrie called up and told me her friend had seen some of my pictures in the magazine, I was ecstatic :D There’s so much stuff running through my mind now that if I were to blog it, y’all would think that I’m being ridonkulous.
*dramatic pause*
But I reckon its okay to be ridonkulous once in awhile. And have gibberish on your blog even though you’re already 30. Life’s too short to be too serious right?
*skips with joy* Yes, I had to do that before continuing *happy sigh*
If you had seen my twits from last night, you would’ve found out that Asian Photography Magazine featured me (Of all people! Imagine that! My first thought when they contacted me was “Are they high on drugs??”. KIDDIIIINGGG!) in their March 2010 edition recently. And I only bought a copy of the magazine earlier today just cause I didn’t know about it earlier on! What a wonderful belated birthday present this is :D
And yes, the happy family on the cover are my clients, the Sondazs! :D :D Didn’t know APM were gonna use any of the pictures for the cover, so when I saw that magazine with a picture I shot on the cover, I wanted to stand up on MPH’s cashier counter and exclaim to the crowd “ZOMG! THAT’S A PICTURE I SHOT PEOPLE!!”, while crazily waving the magazine around.
Unfortunately, I didn’t do so.
Instead, I waited till I got home, took snapshots of the 7-page feature (the scanner’s down. great timing!) and THEN stood on my living room couch and exclaimed to my imaginary friends, “THAT’S A PICTURE I SHOT PEOPLE!!”. My imaginary friends (5 of them to be precise) just continued on with their imaginary poker game. Bah!
Oh and yes, it’s a typo of my name on the cover. What the heck. They can even call me Anna Banana for all I care. I mean, they put my picture on the cover! How. Surreal.
Wheeeee!

On left, is a shot of my photoshopped self :p and on right is Trish & Ben who got engaged not long after their portrait session :) Congrats again you two!

Tiara & Aaron, Carrie & Risky and Terence & Nicole

Rowena and her “ji-mui’s” and Kenneth & Keeli

Svan & Ashley, Chuen Hau & Adeline and Elina & Hadi

Ok, promise I’ll wipe this silly smirk off my face within the next 12 hours. In the meantime, lemme go disturb my imaginary friends again and read the article aloud to them.
Hope your week’s gonna be awesome too! x
