Selfish Turtle

Today is THE DAY!!!

So exciting!!! My friend got married!

I found out something about myself even though it’s a day about my friends: I’m pretty selfish.

Ok ok, relak one corner ok… don’t get too excited and I’ll tell you why I said that.

On this joyous occasion, my friend’s marriage, I’m their camera woman. Then the groom, Chris, had some of his brothers as usual. Amongst them are 2 photographers. (why so kiasu?) Anyhoos, with 2 photographers and 1 camera woman, we all need to fight for a good spot to get the best of the action.

During the morning, there isn’t much incident, but I reckon that I kind of getting on the nerves of the photographers already.

The crux came during the church wedding ceremony. When Chris and Apple were taking the Holy Communion as a couple, I got a good spot whereby I was able to get the couple as well as Pastor Lawrence.

Then one of the photographers was beside me and he said:

Can you let me have this spot for a while?

Then he pushed me whilst making some pek chek noises. Ok lor, then I let him have the place lor.

I must say, I felt bad blocking the photographers.

But after a while, I feel that if the photographers are truly professional, they would have been able to get the shots and get the good spot first. I mean this is not the first time I’m doing video for weddings.

One of the weddings that I did was for my uncle and aunt. They had a truly professional photographer, donch play play. And I was doing my own thing and I didn’t hear any complaint from him that I was in his way and what not.

So what’s the conclusion? Dunno. I might be defending myself. I am selfish. Of course selfish lah!! Who don’t want a good spot?

By the way, to digress a bit, both the bride and groom’s family are not Christians. Then the praise and worship was going on, and whilst Pastor Lawrence was telling the couple about stuff about God and marriage and all, the guests just sat down and talked amongst themselves or they just got up and went to the loo or something. I mean, come on ok. Have some respect ok. Damn bua tahan. We not asking you to join in or what, just respect us and respect the one and only true Living God and just keep quiet can? I mean, I’m pretty you won’t like it if we made noise while they were praying to their idols right?
