slosh down the pepper!

You are taller and I am obviously shorter.

You wear shoes but I am barefooted.

You are suited in sombre black while I am dressed in lively blue peppered with perky shades of purple.

You are the man who appears, to take me away from the free-spirited world I was used to.

I am not complaining; on the contrary I reach up to meet your lips with mine. My entire weight rested on the ten little toes and they pressed hard against the coarse wooden planks. I think I almost stop breathing as even little gasps for air will un-stabilize me. And this is when Alex shouts: "hold it there... hold . it there...". Gosh, for him, nothing else should matter in this moment. He continues to hide behind the huge 3kg camera but his intent is obvious: concentrate on the act. be like the wind that tugs unyieldingly at the tail of the gown (and my hair).

Phew... Hiak! Hiak! Hiak! :) Of course lah, the original raw shot does not appear as sophisticated as this one. Still a good shot, but it is his photoshop skills and artistic eye that impresses us. Healing brown patches of scars on my right leg were cloned out, color filter added to increase saturation, photo cropped and sharpened to create long cinematic effect etc. Perhaps the picture was also deliberately tilted a little over the left to compose a dreamy buoyant effect, representing the "uplifting" moment.

I am glad that it turned out fun after all :)
