~Wedding Bells Are Ringing~

As I am typing this blog, I am exporting the final edited version(well hopefully) movie of my uncle and his wife-to-be wedding photos!
Phew... Finally I have finished it but there were minor changes and I have edited it.

Their wedding dinner is this Sunday! Yeay! All I can think of is the yummy food! Hahaha! The photo filmstrip that I have done for them will be shown to the guest before the banquet starts I think.

Helenwintermelon once told me over MSN that she thinks that this type of photo filmstrip is so corny, it's like showing the world how in love the wedded couple are. Hahaha.
Personally I'm quite neutral about it! Oh ya I did this thing for them for free! Hehe on the account that my uncle is such a good man!

During the process of doing this, I kept listening to Donna Lewis's and Richard Marx's "At the Beginning". Yes that love ending theme from the animated film "Anastasia". Recently I have been watching it too. I love it so much! Especially Anya. She has the most character in the film anyways! How I wish I have such wonderful romance too! Hahaha!
Ok so I was inspired by "Anastasia", my uncle's wife picked the song "You Needed Me" for the photos flimstrip but it wasn't long enough.
So my uncle picked one of Stefani Sun's song but I told him it's wierd that you play english song in the beginning then at the back part a chinese song pops in, so he asked me to pick any appropriate song and put it in.
So of course I choose "At the Beginning", it's the perfect song for wedded couple! Ahem... helenwintermelon told me before that wedding is just the beginning not the end. So the lyrics has it all.

We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me, I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope You were there to remind me
This is the start

This is part of the lyrics, it is very straight forward but significant enough!
Hee hee I am just very happy for my uncle and his wife!

Lately I can't get to sleep. Slept at 3am but then my mind just won't shut down. ; ; It keep generating and thinking about stuff. Now I know where all my paranoia come from. So I keep turning and tossing, and suddenly it's 6am! I was like what!? I spend 3 hours in the bed turning and tossing around!?
I hope to sleep earlier ; ; say like 11pm. Get into a more healthy habit. Sleeping late at night is very bad habit..

Pei just told me she is going to resign her admin job today. Hehe Join the jobless clan! Hope she will start on her portfolio soon!
Speaking of portfolio... astaldoreiel just send me this photo ---->



Ok astaldoreiel is a big fan of LOTR, so she has been writing great stories relating to elves. Which also include me ^^ In the story, she and me are twin sisters, we are high elves related to Arwen's father. He is our uncle. So the romance part of the story is astaldoreiel is in love with a mortal, and she is the more impulsive one, right astaldoreiel? I hope I get it right hee hee ^^;; If I am wrong don't come and kill me!
Ok so now for my part, I am in love with a mortal general but astaldoreiel wanted to add in a third party to complicate things which is of course MORE fun! Hahaha!
So... That photo above is what astaldoreiel has pictured of the third party! His name is Glorfindel, he is an elven lord and he will be the third party in my love relationship in the story that is! Hahaha!
When I received the email she sent to me, I was ecstatic. Really, I mean look at the photo! Isn't he divine looking!? He is most suitable to be an elven lord! Anyway he is an actor, his name is River Phoenix, if I am not wrong, he passed away already since he was quite young. By accident.

So in my reply to astaldoreiel, I told her that I have the urge to transform that photo above into Glorfindel for real! I will draw him with that pose, that look, but I will change his hair style, well maybe not much but longer hair for an elven lord ;) And of course I need to add some elven lord clothes too!
I think it's going to be a long and hard project, I haven't touch my friggin pencil for say 2 years? ~_~
But it's going to be an exciting one! If possible I am going to borrow jay's wacom and color him hehehehe ^^

Ok here are some awe-inspiring artworks that I have visited recently. Really inspired and motivate me!
