The Opera Populaire

Finally my family and I dragged ourselves to a bridal studio to take our family pict with my convo gown yesterday. Not exactly a fuss-free affair...took like more than 1 hour to decide the clothes to wear at the shot, make-up etc. At the studio, my mom and I were quite interested in having the package where I can dress up in a sarong kebaya, which is a standard that Indonesian graduates wear at their convo photo shots. But my dad was not at all keen so it was struck off the list. Kelvin used to say that he can imagine how pretty I'll look in a sarong kebaya *shrug*

I oso decided to take the risk in having my face made up specially for the shot, despite past horrors. This one made me look like the Cantonese opera actress, or Balinese legong dancer. My brother added insult to injury by calling me a ghost. Sob sob. Think I really can't carry off eyeliner. But the end result turned out better than expected, though my face is puffy from the thyroid medication, like Kym Ng back then. The price is quite reasonable too. At the end, the studio presented me with some wedding photo packages, which I took cos the lady was so sweet and polite in offering them, though I already told her I don't think I need it so soon. Really think the Indonesians have a very good attitude in the service industry.
