The Szesze's Garden Wedding Reception @ Rippon Lea House Museum and Historic Garden

I've got Junkit's invitation on FB to his wedding reception in KL but unfortunately I can't attend coz I'll be leaving to Melbourne soon that time. But when I check my email few days later Junkit sent me another mail telling me that me and Kent are both invited to his reception in Melbourne instead. Wow...thats nice...w/o wasting anytime I reply his sms telling him we can attend. He even arrange his friend Adrianne to pick us up at our hotel, knowing we have difficulties on that. Thanks for being so thougtful. Really aprreciate that.

Junkit & Meisze's wedding was held in a very beautiful historic garden in Rippon Lea House Musuem. If not mistaken Junkit has tried to reserve this place since last year. Well they got it anyway =) They are cute and cheeky couples. They always smile...and all the time friendly. We were stunt when we reached the garden...Amazing sceneries...

They even get our name printed on our table...although we just got their invitation 2 days before the reception. Owhh....Junkit & Meisze thanks so much for inviting us...glad we're giving an opportunity to attend such a grand wedding reception at such a beautiful place.

Wish u both with happy journey ahead...and of coz when alot of szeszes coming do share the good news...Wish u both happiness forever..

We touch down on the 16th Sept 2009 @ Melbourne, Australia.

We just touched down on the 16th Sept 09 leaving Ethan behind in M'sia. Its a hardest thing to do but we have to be here to get a long term staying place and make sure all the neccessary things are prepared in that house before Ethan is here. So at the mean time we stayed in the Backpackers Hotel which cost us AUS$55/night. Thats the best we can do..and consider the cheapest stay....we stayed there for almost 2 weeks till we get a rented property.

Is not easy tho, in Msia we choose the place we want to stay and pay to get the house we prefered but here in Melbourne the agent choose the us. We must at least have monthly salary to get the house we applied. But Msian here telling us we are lucky to get that fast. Some of them send in 30 application they only get 1 call from the agent.

When we touch down we really don't know where and how to start to search for a house. We take tram along the St kilda road hoping there will be open inspection so that we can walk in and view the house, but too bad we aren't that lucky that day. So the second thing we do is visit the real estate agents in the city to get the rental list printed out in their office. When we saw some of the property which we're interested in we will ask for the key and inspect that house. We are given only 15min to return that key. We took tram with a Melway-Melbourne Map and when we reach there its already 15min passed. Gosh not even step on the door step we got a call from agent telling us to return the key coz there are somebody else who wish to inspect the house already.

We took almost 2-3 days trying to walk as fast as we can to reach the property but still we can;t make it on time...then we decided to rent a car...AUS$65/day altho it cost quite alot but at least it will speed us up then we will save for the hotel rent and also our time walking around the town getting nothing. I rented the car for 3 days. Kent went to work as usual and I'm with the Melway driving around the city visiting agents for rental list and get the keys and YES I drove to the house and back within 15min. Thanks to the Melway and clear road sign. I got to visit 4-5 housed in a day with a car and Melway and manage to submit few application on the houses I preferred. I did the same thing for 2 days...and same goes on the 3rd day...

On the 3rd day I almost dunno which agents to visit already...Kent's bank rushing us for a permanent address...Kent's company need Kent to have a fix mobile number to print out his name card and to get a fix line here he need to have a permanent address at least else he won't get to apply ANYTHING here. While I was driving around the city on the 3rd day..I remember it was just 2pm...I'm telling myself i must try to visit more of the agents today...then I got a call.."Hey there its Kerri from Buxton. You have been approved to own the property in Brighton Road, Elwood. Are you still interested?" I was like ???? huh?? really??? Can you please repeat the address again...coz I have submitted few of them just wanted to make sure I got which one. and really God bless that's the one I preferred the most...it is spacious...Kent only need to take one tram to his working place which will save him lots of time..coz changing tram will take him quite some time to reach office on time.

Really God bless...we actually got this house on the 3rd day coz I will be returning the rental car the next day and I really don't know how to go around after that. Hehe here we go...after i found a house I take my time walking around the city and took some photos....as shown below...hehe enjoy ^-^

輕輕敲醒沉睡的心靈　慢慢張開你的眼睛
看那忙碌的世界是否依然孤獨地轉個不停
春風不解風情　吹動少年的心
讓昨日臉上的淚痕　隨記憶風乾了
抬頭尋找天空的翅膀　候鳥出現牠的影跡
帶來遠處的飢荒無情的戰火依然存在的消息
玉山白雪飄零　燃燒少年的心
使真情溶化成音符　傾訴遙遠的祝福
唱出你的熱情　伸出你雙手
讓我擁抱著你的夢　讓我擁有你真心的面孔
讓我們的笑容　充滿著青春的驕傲
為明天獻出虔誠的祈禱
誰能不顧自己的家園　拋開記憶中的童年
誰能忍心看那昨日的憂愁　帶走我們的笑容
青春不解紅塵　胭脂沾染了灰
讓久違不見的淚水　滋潤了你的面容
唱出你的熱情　伸出你雙手
讓我擁抱著你的夢　讓我擁有你真心的面孔
讓我們的笑容　充滿著青春的驕傲
為明天獻出虔誠的祈禱
輕輕敲醒沉睡的心靈　慢慢張開你的眼睛
看那忙碌的世界是否依然孤獨地轉個不停
日出喚醒清晨　大地光彩重生
讓和風拂出的音響　譜成生命的樂章
唱出你的熱情　伸出你雙手
讓我擁抱著你的夢　讓我擁有你真心的面孔
讓我們的笑容　充滿著青春的驕傲
讓我們期待明天會更好

Can you see that colors of life...feel it...

This lyric is so meaningful - Miley Cyrus "The Climb"

Hrm...this song is really what I need in my life...really gotta listen to it to move on with my dream....my dream...gotta be strong...

The Climb lyrics
Songwriters: Alexander, J; Mabe, J;

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

I photograph Sam & Lily's wedding on two different day & at two different location. One at the church in Klang on the 11th July and the other one was their wedding day on the 18th July 09 from Klang to Malacca. Everything was going on so fast. Everybody were rushing and hoping they don't missed any important things and people. Anyway nothing stops this cheerful couple to enjoy their BIG day. Their smile makes me enjoy my shooting too.

Lily has a beautiful pair of eyes. Long eye lashes...

Lily almost done with her make-up.

A friend helping out to wear on her necklace. Yes she does have lots of friends coming to help her up on her big day. Lucky girl.

A portrait of the bride before the veil is put on.

Sam came with this pink roses hand bouquet.

Here they go negotiating to get their best ang pao price in order to let him get over to reach the bride.
