Changi Airport T3 Photography Contest

Happened to see this advertisement on Straits Times one day, showed it to E & he thought "Yeah! Why not?? Let's go have fun!!"... (AND of course we were also eyeing on the bonus for first prize of a whopping Paris trip on biz class + hotel stay + $5000 cash!! :p $$ *ker-chng!* $$).

This Photography Contest is actually for the launch of our new Changi Airport Terminal 3 on 14 December 2007. Frankly, we have zero idea where the hell is this new airport, until that day!

With just 2 weeks from the shooting date, we need to strategize our budgeted plan! At the same time, I was so stressed out from preparing for our ROM event. So worried getting my Zit Attack!

Step 1 = get sponsorship from Bridal Studio for gown + suit + make-up/hair  √ checked!
I made a call to the owner of 1 of the bridal shops @ Tanjong Pagar. The fact is, I pestered him everyday until he threw the white towel! Hahah... He is quite “steady”la… So in returned, we signed up with him for our actual day package.

Step 2 = look for Photographer √ checked! 
An old friend, Wilson Pang, is gladly to do this for us, out of goodwill. So sweet… Never seen him for years & thought of him when needed help. :p Of course, my buddy Jessie, is marrying him soon too mah! Hahah…

Step 3 = Select gown + suit  √ checked!
That E has put on so much weight that none… yes, NONE of the pants in the studio shop fitted him nicely! Haha…

Step 4 = Terminal 3, here we come!! 
Lee Khian & Jessie also came to help on that day. We ended up 1 of the last teams to leave the place. Simply took our own sweet time *snap snap snap*. Well, we had 3 pro photographers that day!
It was such an experience to be able to walk around the newly launched transit mall barefooted!! Ha… that is cos my feet has only 5% tolerance for heels. Everytime Wilson sends the cue to snap, E&S immediately spring up into poses, stiffer than mannequins! Ha… Geeeez…

Here are some of the photos taken by our photographers:
