1st Bridemaid experience with a Rude Apprentice

Very busy n packed October! With 2 weekends burnt at vegetarian food fair~ 
And my English class at Prayer hall on weekday evenings..

100 days after my wedding, recently attended 2 wedding banquet as MrChng's partner.
And got my 1st time experience as a "Sister" it was horrifying i would say :X
I was approached like 5 days before the wedding, agreed upon to help since i would be on leave..
I was shock that very morning when i saw what was prepared for the gate crash! OMGGGGG!酸甜苦辣!

I would say they were LUCKY it was me who was not satisfied with the service.
1 of their crew (pretty sure an apprentice) who was rude n impatient (TSK TSK) thus decided to blog about it..
Shall elaborate further.. 
The couple took up a package with this bridal studio decided not to mention name here for $4xxx from JB 

Initially i thought it was super worth it as i thought it was in RM but hey! It was not so~

Okay, it's not about the money, but about the service!

Well i didn't ask for the details but from what i observed throughout the day:
- 10 hrs video n photo n MUA (SME included)
- 2 set for groom n 3 sets for bride. 
- THAT'S ALL 
I shall get more details from the couple when i have time.. But oh seriously!
Okay, it's not about the package, but about the service!

My collection n trial is in Kovan, considering very far, and they have to go down to JB~ Alemak!
I've got mine with my sibling's gown / suit n my fathers got their suit too.
Erm, that might be exchange for the video-grapher? 
Ohhh i even got an album for 1 day Pre-wedding shoot~ 

They had 4 crew n 1 MUA that day, who arrive early (compliment) 
Quite sure 1 senior photographer, 1 senior video-grapher  and so other 2 was apprentice.
How could i differentiate? 
1) When the crew could give clear instruction n idea while we do the shoot.
I hate it when the photographer ask us to do free style, Alemak! 
One of the crew did a good job by giving us instruction to let bride have this "slide" at the playground

Deep impression was when rude apprentice instructed the 'sister' to enter the room before the groom?
HUH?! never heard of this before, for myself, is the groom make his way then the crew.
I doubt him and question, what he answer was simply rude: 
"OHHHH, I HAVE GOT 100++ EXPERIENCE IN THIS, YOU SHOULD JUST LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY"
*Roll Eyes* 

2) When the crew could the perfect shot / view in 1 good take w/o us re-doing / clapping / smiling.
So we enter the room after gate crash, poor groom standing outside =.="
By the count of 3 all clap and cheer~ 
(Well we are force to do that, definitely happy for the couple but clapping was not from within)
This clapping cheering was repeated 3 times =.="  

The second incident was at the end of the day, where i think the senior crew must be dead tired.
The other apprentice took out video shoot along the seaview, and re-do again and again for 3 rounds!
Hello seniors, you think only you tired meh? Torturing us to re-do the video!

3) When the crew is patient with request. 
When i told her to touch up on bride's hair to harden it as it keeps covering her forehead.
And that rude apprentice try to talk crap =.="
Saying that ohhh her hair was not long nor short that we couldn't clip it up.. 
Seriously MUA already putting more hair spray what's your additional comments?

Another impression incident, when we were taking out shoot and having some uncle on bicycle come along.
So few of us moved to the side to let the uncle pass, it was interrupting the shoot obviously..
The impatient rude apprentice (AGAIN) "Hello what you doing, cannot follow instruction" 

With so much tolerance, I have decided to write up this post...
Do hope the studio would do something to that "Bad Egg" 
Whom was rude n has given bad impression to their name.
Will definitely warn the young couple out there when they asked for advice..

Back from Korea~

The second trip to Korea!
Overall was a great trip to meet with new people & visiting new places & relax mood~
Our $600 was not enough for both of us (spent $200 in Laneige + Innisfree and $100 for our sister's product) and exchange another $150 with Mr&MrsTeoh... Thank you!
Will definitely plan a trip there again with our parents!

Only 3 complains
- Fellow aunties shopping & taking pictures for hours
- Vegetarian diet was very very inconvenient
- Shops were closed on Sunday

Made new friends in the trip aka the couples

Enjoyed the time spent together #withtheboythatstolemyheart

Challenge - Day 4

Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.

Challenge - Day 3

OT last evening, thank you hubby for riding me home~ TGIF people!

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not;
nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will
not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world
is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are
omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the
problems of the human race.

Challenge - Day 2

Boss is off for a meeting, short post wont die right :P

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact,
it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you
are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.
