The Art Of Self Controlling

I had a not too fancy French cuisine dinner with some of my antique friends for the past Saturday. Connie and I were late, they were kind enough waiting for our arrival. Once we have arrived, they pulled me the wine list immediately and asked me to pick one for them. I gotta admit that I love drinking, but I kind of prohibited myself lately. They were shocked for my rejection of wine picking. In the end, I just randomly picked one.

Should I used to word, prohibition to describe my lately act of self controlling? I quit drinking due to Connie. She didn't like me to drink, she tried hard for stopping me in the beginning . . . as time goes by, I recognize I need to drink no more. I am still addicted in buying a few bottles from here or there as long as the price interests me, but opening? No . . . not even two bottles a month.

It's not an easy task in the beginning. It's just the same as if quitting coffee. It's strange for not drinking while eating . . . it's just not right at all. After a few trails . . . that's it. I need it no more. This action is a form of art. It's the art of self controlling. I am proud of myself and of course, I gotta thank Connie for supporting.

Busy Weekends

Connie and I had been kind of busy for the passed weekend for the wedding stage decoration agent hunting. Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel is the place where we are gonna do our banquet. A stage is provided, but it's way to simple and ugly, so that we have to decorate it. After hunted for two days, we are down to two agents. I have my own designed stage, but still have to look up to our budget for producing it out or not.

In the June 2007, Connie and I went to the America for a two weeks trip. During the trip, she met my parents. My mother made a comment upon her. She commented that Connie might give up anything for photo-shooting. Yeah~~~ Connie loves photo taken. So, most of you guys must think that it's good to marry me, as I am a somewhat photographer . . . Let me tell you that . . . NO! I am not really into picture taking no more! I don't enjoy being a model neither! I rather hiring someone else for her photo taking, instead of doing it myself! Of course, at the same time, it's a pain in the ass for me to find a photographer that I like.

At this moment, I guess I spent most of my money in wedding photo shooting. If the earlier photo shooting is included, then there would be four times of wedding picture taken by four groups of photographers from the beginning to November 29, 2008. Don't ask me the reason why and for what, just zip your mouth . . . that's it.

Connie printed 500+ pictures of our last wedding photographs. She is now arranging the pictures in the living room! What a pain in the ass! I am not gonna help her at all, don't even bother asking me. It's a Connie thing! Let her be!

By the way, BeeBee recognizes himself, CeiCei, Connie, and I from the printed images. Seriously, he does! Whenever he saw himself, he will cheered immediately and barks! I love this baby!

WALL•E

There will be a new Pixar animation named, the WALL•E coming to the theater in June 08. According to the preview, seems like it should be one of their best stories, which I am already looking forward for seeing it. WALL•E is a small cute but fat little robot, which reminds me of my lovely BeeBee. Suddenly I felt like missing him a lot, so I decided to drop a few latest notes upon them (BeeBee and CeiCei) to my blog.

CeiCei went through her painful surgery last week. Connie and I put her under such nightmare for two reasons. Firstly, she has three bad teeth, which needed to be removed. Secondly, she has to be spayed. She isn't young at all, she's seven to eight years old according to several doctors. Spaying is a huge advantage for achieving a healthier body in her age. She gotta wear a collar for the next 14 days. She was upset and didn't want to wear in the beginning. She cried, but now she got over it already.

For BeeBee . . . according to doctor, he is horribly overweight! He has to go through an extreme hell-liked diet program, which I don't believe that he could make it through. Still, he gotta try for it, as he is already 13.5 pounds! Half a cup of his dieting dog-food . . . that's it. No more than that until his weight reduces to <10.

Bon and Connie SPECIAL wedding Photo!!!

Folks, take it easy! I did it just to cheer Connie and all of the honored photographers! Everybody, thanks for the hard works, and here you go as all of you have wished . . . the crazy Bon! Just laugh as hard as you like! By the way, after wearing the wedding gown, I realized how tough Connie was and still is for finishing the two days of photo shooting with me. Connie, thanks for the hard work. I am appreciated.

My Unforgettable Wedding Photo Shooting Weekend!

Connie and I enjoyed crazy photo shooting for the recently passed weekend. It's tired but fun, no doubt. Pictures and a short video clip will be posted later.

The First Photo Shooting
Date: March 14, 2008 (Friday)
Time: 8:00 pm to 11:00 am
Location: Central, Hong Kong
Photographers: 6 - Mei 2, Ar Ling, Ar Fung, Dai Man, Eric, and Carmen
Photo Gears: DSLR with lots of flashes

Connie dressed in her full wedding gown. For my top, I dressed semi formal, which means suit without tie, but I wore a long dress for the bottom. I know it sounds crazy, just wait for the photo later. U guy will see how "cool" I was! I know, cool to me means shit to you guys!

We started at the Alexandra House. We walked to the High Court. Of course along our journey, we kept shooting from all directions including stepping onto the vehicle lanes! We stood still in the center of the road, when vehicles came, we stepped back! That's what we have done.

From the High Court, we walked to the HSBC Building. We fooled around at the tram rail for a while. Afterwards, we walked to the historical stairs with gas light. We spent nearly a hour over there for interesting special photo shooting. It's called, The Big Shot. It's what I had learnt from RIT. I shared the skill with the six photographers. They enjoyed. Connie and I were like the tiny white mice for beta testing!

We walked up the stairs and headed to Lan Kai Fong. With our braveness, we walked down the Lan Kai Fong slowly. All of the six photographers were hyper and kept shooting without noticing the people around. Connie and my eyes were blinded by flashes. Lots of people were shocked for seeing what we have done, and more congratulated us. It wasn't as difficult as what we had thought for crossing from one end to the other. With lots of eyes watching us, we all had our fun, excited, and enjoyable moments. I deeply believed that all people were questioning why such a beauty (Connie) has to marry such a ugly moronic beast (me), specially seeing such a lovely lady in a beautiful wedding gown, but such a . . . (can't even think of a word to describe) guy in a long dress!

Finally, we walked back to the old Star Ferry Pier for ending.

The Second Photo Shooting
Date: March 16, 2008 (Sunday)
Time: 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm
Location: Pui-O, Lantau Island, Hong Kong
Photographers: 6 - Ar Wing, Ar Fung, Dai Man, Eric, Eason, and Carmen
Photo Gears: DSLR with lots of flashes
Others: BeeBee and CeiCei

The six photographers and the family of four grouped together at the Pier# 6 for heading to the Pui-O, Lantau Island. Once we had arrived the Pui-O, all of us were greeted by tons of cow. Actually, we were kind of in their way of feeding.

We started shooting at the Pui-O Beach. It was a lovely clear day without any big crowd around at all. BeeBee and CeiCei had their quality times while shooting with us (I said they have, then they had)! Those photographers asked Connie and I kept running along the beach back and forth with hands holding . . . Not an easy task, as both of us were in dresses, but we cooperated as we know that we gotta sacrifice. Honestly, we were not the worst one in the scene, but Carmen was. She wet her socks and sneakers by an unexpected wave!

After the beach shooting, we went back to our tiny apartment. We spent some times dressing Carmen in Connie's wedding gown because I know that she wants to. Connie didn't mind to share, as it's a rental. The more it had been worn, the more it worth the cost. Carmen was cute in it and I think she will turn into a beautiful lady years later.

After the fooling, we packed our gears and headed to the village behind our apartment. It was quiet and perfect for cool photo shootings. Connie and I were shot separately in the beginning. Later we were posted together for some final pictures.

Then finally . . . it all ended.

A Few Movie Trailers To Be Shared.

I just saw an extremely funny movie trailer! It's called, "Where The Hell Is Osama Bin Ladin?" I haven't laugh for months, but this movie cheered me up. I have to watch and own it later! Blu Ray.

After I have been waited for two years, M. Night Shyamalan has a new movie. I love his movies since his first one, Sixth Sense. He is one of the few left directors who still keeping himself away from digital. He still shoots everything in film.

Some Feelings . . .

It's 10:45am Hong Kong time. Connie and I are going to pay our deposit of our wedding banquet later today. To me, it will be the Point Of No Return. Do I wanna quit? Honestly, I have been wondering. I wonder not because of not liking Connie, but just don't know how my life will be after passing the bar. Yeah, I call the wedding "The Bar".

Connie seems to be extremely excited and cheered by our wedding. I love to see her happy. I want to have a happy family of four (Connie, BeeBee, CeiCei, and I), at least at this moment.

I have been living together with three girls in my life. In conclusion, all girls are the same no matter what kind of attitude or personality they are. The first one, Florence Chan for 2.75 years. The second one, Aggie Wong for 5 years. Connie is the third one. You might think that I am a playboy, but actually I am not. I never overlapped any relationship with each other. I ended one, then started another one. It's only that I believe in living together.

Connie always asks me whether she is my most beloved one or not. I always answer her with the answer, "Yes you are at this moment." She's upset, as she always wants to be my most beloved one ever. What I could say is . . . Florence and Aggie were the one that I loved the most in the past, but not anymore. I never compared Aggie with Florence, so I won't compare Connie with Aggie neither. At this moment and looking forward for the future that Connie is and will be the one I love forever.

Someone asked me is it really possible and that easy to forget the past beloved ones? I can answer you directly that "NO". It's not easy to forget them, but it's possible not to love them anymore. It's hard to forget the memories, but I am 100% clear that what I am missing are the memorizes only not the real person at this stage. In reality, I only care for Connie, BeeBee, and CeiCei - My Family Of Four.

I love you Connie Ko.

Wedding - Work In Progress

I am gonna marry by the end of this year. Although the date hasn't been confirmed yet, it should be on the Saturday of November 29, 2008. Don't ask me why, I am extremely favor having the dinner party at the Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel at the Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon.

Within the past few weeks, Connie and I went through lots of disagreements, which nearly brought us to separation due to the wedding preparation. Connie and I have totally opposite ideas towards all stuffs and matters. It's like . . . sky VS earth. Let me give you a cool fictional symbolical example. It's like . . . Connie is a very traditional Chinese girl, which believes no sex before and after marriage, but I am a super freaky pervert, who love to eat pussies of all female creatures! So, you see how much different we are!

Connie told me to drop down a list of what nontraditional manner that I am planning to do. I think that if I really drop all the points down, then it can turn into my PhD thesis. At this point of time, we have agreed to three of the few suggested.

The Three Accepted Nontraditional Wedding Manner

1. I (Bon) won't kneel before anybody during the Tea Ceremony except for the parents and the grand parents from both sides. (If everyone were alive, then it means only 6 couples - 12 people) Of course, most of them passed away already, so . . . I don't have to kneel too many times. Connie and I had a fight upon this issue, I didn't even plan to kneel before anyone at all in the beginning. I stepped back. I made her life easy.
2. I am not going to wear tuxedo at my wedding party, but I am going to buy a very decent formal suit from the place where I like. It might not be black in color. I decide! Moreover, the inside shirt is still pending.
3. In the beginning, I rejected all of the stupid games by making fun on the new couple. I don't think those games are fun. I deeply believe that these stupid games are just as f__ked up as the Chinese 5000 years stupid culture. Of course, that's not what Connie wants . . . I stepped back again for cheering her. In the end, I agreed to participate in some of the minor moronic games, but I won't do crazy stuffs such as pushing up, step my feet into icy water, drinking dirty mixed cocktails, and etc.
