Zhang Zi Yi

Check out the Malaysian Zhang Zhi Yi. She was seen in Batu Caves yesterday morning with a Chinese-Harry-Potter-look-alike...posing in a vintage wedding gown.

I was perspiring under the sun with my point and shoot and occasionally her new digital camera, while trying to avoid getting stomped on by DL who was juggling three cameras. Harry Potter and Zhang didn't complain at all about the sun and were the perfect models for a novice like me.

Zhang Zhi Yi = Connection Specialist
Harry Potter = Witty in both English and Cantonese

The shot started round 9am after lots of downloading of Teluk Intan chee cheong fan, rice cakes and yong tau foo at SM's place, zipping her up in the vintage darling dress, and getting ST aka Harry all suited up...DL and I started snapping away while Cindy worked on SM's veil.

We were the appointed photographers for their wedding pictures...Danny is appointed because he can produce good shots, while I'm in for...maybe you can post your questions at SM herself why I was there.

When we got to the outdoor location (Damai, Batu Caves) it was round 9am, we were dead lucky that the climbing site was deserted when we got there...the only living creatures were the damn red ants, they attacked my feet three times.

We worked through the rolls and disc space in the cameras from 9am to about 11am...slowly the climbers turned up and watched in amazement from a distance. ST was persuaded into some seriously funny poses but I wonder if he would post it on the site.

What I like about the shot:

1. I took some of those pictures
2. It was in batu caves, and not lake garden (again...)
3. The dress is vintage
4. The ring is vintage
5. The abso-fucking-lutely gorgeous flowers didn't cost anyone a cent

Anyway, we continued after lunch at her place where she changed into the sultry Beatrice Looi dress and the Chinese jacket (with songket skirt!!!), with red saree as background.

At three pm, we had about close to twenty rolls of films and approx 400 shots on digital cameras. All these, so much more shots to drool over, and so much more cheaper to produce.

Totally refreshing concept.

Zhang Zhi Yi + Harry Potter = My couple of the year

Party = June 2005
