Pastoral Photo Shoot

How did I spent my public holiday today?

Helping out at the Eaglepoint pastoral photo shoot! hahahaa... the location was Mark & Carolyn's house at Puteri 8. The moment the guy-adults came in and saw the Foosball table, the challenge started - especially for Pastor Tim!

Oh my! He was like playing with whoever that will play with him lah! hahahahaha.... but the winner goes to Daniel (Mark & Carolyn's second son)... according to Pastor Tim and Tabitha (Mark & Carolyn's niece), he's the best but Ashley (Mark & Carolyn's youngest daughter standing there in the pix) challenged to say that Joshua (Mark & Carolyn's eldest son) is better than Daniel. Since Josh didn't come down today so it's a theory yet to be proven!!

one of the highlight was I got to know Tabitha a little today. Always see her walk in and out church office but today we played ball together with Kristen! hahahahaha....

To those of you who've not seen Shane Zachary Kong Kai Wen, the newborn son of Ps Shawn and Jill, here's the photo of the day! soo cute la!

this is how we distract Kristen (Ps Shawn & Jill's eldest daughter) - Tabitha and Sesame Street! Very effective for Kristen and Joanna (Ps Tim & Teresa's daughter)! and Kristen play ball with me today! She's so cute after 'warm-up'.

The fan supposedly helps... ahhaha... first off, family shots, singular shots, couple shots and kids shots... it was fun seeing them pose! hahahah...

the more Joash ask Joanna to smile, the more she's frowning.. don't understand what's going on! ahahaha...

Jessica (from Chinese Church) came to help out with the make up. She's 3 months pregnant and doing a great job too! Anyone needing bridal make up or event make up please give her a call! She also does artistic make up and used to teach these (make up, hairdo, body art, nails and such) in a school...

Yu-Xuan jumped onto her papa and caught on camera... she's such a cute little thingy... and she say she will share her nuggets with me at Next Stop Restaurant.. awww..... so nice of her!

Vitagen! I think we easily scoured a pack or two off the NG family fridge! hahahaha... not just the kids but the teens and the young adults too!!! ahhaahhahaa.... such a highlight! can see the vitagen-faces lit up when they see vaitagen!!

oh yah, the crew-wannabe-poser CHRIS LEONG! hahahaha... this was when we were shooting Ps Jonathan & family (Eaglepoint Penang). His sons were so funny... the shooting took only a few minutes... and then he commented, "hah? like that only ah?" In which I laughed and replied, "yes, 5 hours drive here just for that 2 minute shots!" ahahahaha...

Couple shots... awww... soooo loving hor... Ps Steven say this is the most major photo taking he'd done since his wedding photos! hahahaha...

this was when everyone started teasing pastor steven about his smile, his pose, his leng-chai-ness and everyone chipped in... we made such noise at the park opposite the house! hahahah...

when joel climbed onto chris to shoot from 'above', the photographers started shooting them instead of the 'talents'! hahahahaa...

in order not to spoil the actual shots, i'm just going to post the production shots - my version kind of production shots... cos i'm sure joel n choon ean took better production shots than these! mine was just for blogging purposes! hahahaha...

before the break for lunch, we celebrated Bee Kim & Joash's birthday! The Loh family remembered and came with a cake.

Talking about that, I need to tell you how naughty was your senior pastor... I sms-ed him around 10:40am to ask if they are arriving soon cos his session is 10:45am.. in which he replied my sms saying he thought his session is at 12pm! i panicked merata-rata!!! Right at that time, I got another sms reply saying he's just pulling my leg and the whole family enter the house!! jorr...

the crew - Joseph the main photographer, Joel the production photographer, Choon Ean the pose director and Kareem THE director... ops... not in photo... he came wearing the tee bearing these words "MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION"!!!

oh, this was shot when Yu-En (Ps Steven & Bee Kim's eldest daughter) say she dun wan to share her nuggets with me! hahaahahah

Round 3 shooting - formal shots at Next Stop. I mean no matter how I look at it, it does not look formal to me lah... hahhahaha.. too bad Mark and Joseph can't join us... so the pastoral is short of two families... ops...

then they try another angle...

and yet another angle...

and then another angle for all the singular shots!

by the time we leave, Next Stop Restaurant (this side), was in a mess of tables! hahahaha.... of course we helped to clear up lah... Thank you to Cheryl & Rhea for letting us use the premise! Rhea provided entertainment to me... she's soooo cute and always smile! hahahaa.... they went for a walk cos we kinda 'took over' the space! hahahaha...

so many shoppers ACTUALLY stopped and stared... Pastor Shawn say we should have told the ppl not to miss "the movie coming out on so and so a date" .... ahahahaahahahah...

by the time the Director calls it a rep for the day, it was four plus pm.... I came home and hit the bed straight! Now, excitedly waiting for the photos to come out!! yeah!!!!
