SU & RAY

'Episode IV - A new hope. A long time ago in a Hotel far far away .... It is a period of a change for the people @THSH. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the woeful enemy who usually barred people from taking their personal photos here. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the ANTI 'LOVE' STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy all photographic equipment in the galaxy. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, the THSH Team races home aboard their starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save their people and restore free personal photography to the galaxy....'

with apologies ... :)

Dramatically corny isn't it? Well, my itching fingers just won't let go of the keyboard ... been a fan of Star Wars since young ... anyway, the real story was, way before I had even cemented my ideas to allow couples into the Hotel for their personal pre-wedding photos, I was having my hands full with the daily problems in the Hotel. It felt like I was being slowly braised in a pressure cooker. So, i decided to take a break and have a brisk walk outside, taking in my nasty habit. I began toying with the idea that if I did tidy up the hotel, it would look a little nicer, wouldn't you think? Then I could get some wedding couples to come and take photos! *idea hatched* As I was busy daydreaming (oh no! not again!), I spotted a wedding couple escorted with suspicious-looking (like) photographer.... clasping my palms and rubbing them, eyes glinting ... (can't you hear my evil laughter?) ... why not try out the idea on them? (Didn't I say I was impulsive?)

'Your glass will never be empty, ever again'

'Longing'

'A quiet moment, under a canopy of lights'

'Waiting'

I wish to congratulate Su & Ray on their wedding and just for your information they were actually from Australia. They were very pleasant and pretty excited about being able to shoot @THSH, and gave me their consent very fast. These pictures were taken way, way, way before I even had the notion to advertise on forums and my community project plans, photos were dated 21 April 2008, when I was still very much a newbie @THSH. From Su & Ray's photos, I proceeded to tidy up the Hotel, making small changes here and there to make it more conducive for photo shoots. I must also thank their photographer Alex, for being so helpful with my suggestions back then. Hey, Alex, where in the world are you now? For more photos from Alex, please visit www.alexmoi.net
