Courtesy Call

This scene may be familiar to some of us who spend time battling with Security Officers (SOs) while trying to get our shot of the famous but standered "grip n grin" shot. Not something that will win us a pulitzer prize but i'm sure if we were to gather all our mis-fires, SO included, we might come up with something like that.

(Just so you know, the characters in these scenes are not real. But the situation often is on our job...

In fact, this was taken during my wedding at the tea ceremony at my grandmother's home. Characters : Chin Hon, seated right, our Straits Times China bureau chief, flew back to Sg to attend wedding, Desmond Foo, seated left, from Toa Payoh North office attended the wedding too, and Bryan, our bestman plays the SO. --- the scenerio with Hon and Foo sitting there was just too tempting, we had to follow through.)

So to those of you who have been wondering where my blog entries have disappeared too... I apologise for the downtime. Had lots to do planning the wedding and then with work which is very much in the nature of what you see above. But i'm back and will update you with more pictures. (:
