*back dated entry*
had my pre-wedding shoot with La Belle on 30th june but only had time to post about it later on... La Belle studio isnt at tanjong pagar but 207 Henderson Road, is at those few storey buildings behind the bukit merah bus interchange... we were kind of rushing to the studio so didnt have time to take picture of the surrounding... we were expecting some La belle signboard outside the building but hell no... that place just look like a multi-storey garage... we were like looking around before a kind uncle at the opposite building told us to go up from the side staircase... apparently he was experienced enough to know that we shua ku come here for the studio shoot... kind souls..... or else we will take a longer time to reach our destination.... the studio is located on the 3rd floor... no lift... i saw the email from peiwen (our coordinator) that we can access via stairs but i was still hoping there to be a lift somewhere but nope.... stairs only.... the lighting wasnt very good either, so the stairs looked kind of spokey....
as no outside photography is allowed at the studio so again, i dont have any pictures to share.... but the studio is kind of big... at least compared to the neighbourhood studio that my jiejie had for her wedding photoshoot... there are about 10 spots for shoot but is all about capturing the angle & with the right lighting... so anyway we arrived on the dot at 9.30am but anna was slightly late but still sufficient time for makeup.... & it really took like 1.5hr to complete the makeup+hairdo+ changing into gown... the simple makeup+hairdo for my bf took like mayb 15min?? haha what a big difference....
our photographer, kenny came about 11+ to set up his equipments & all... we quite like his working style, quite friendly & try to mingle with us... as we are not professional models, we maybe stiff when taking pictures... kenny will try to position us, where to look & how to smile.... nice guy.... as i have 3 gowns for indoor shoot, we were really rushing for time... it may take less than 30min to shoot each sets of gowns but it take about 1hr to change the look... tiring.... as the place is really ulu, there isnt any food stores around, the best way is to order delivery unless you have helpers for that day... as it was a monday, we couldnt get hold of any friends to help out so we had to order mac.... so if possible, it will be nice to have someone to help out....
about 3pm we set out for outdoor shoot... the first location is henderson wave area... it was drizzling then & the sky looked kind of dark... we were getting worried cause we wanted to end with a sunset shoot & it wont be possible with a gloomy sky.....we quickly finished the shoot at henderson then drove all the way to punggol lalang field.... since we wont go back to the studio to change, we had to change at outside toilet... again... it will be helper to have your girl friends to help with the change... for me, i only had my bf to help & it was such a difficult chore to change in the handicap toilet especially with the long train.... but somehow we managed.... sadly the lalang field isnt at its prime so there wasnt alot of lalang... & it was drizzling still.... after that we walked over to the punggol water park & the sky start to clear... *happy* surprising, that park is quite a nice place to shoot & good for family to hang out.... last location was the seletar reservoir.... & we were lucky that the rain had stopped & we had a nice sunset view!!! YEAH!!!! so the photoshoot ended about 6+ with our nice sunset background =) after that we returned to La belle to change out as well as making the next 40% payment.... ouch... $ gone.... really excited to see the photo but it will take about a month later...
after which, we went to have dinner at gyoza king which is just down the road from la belle.... lucky for us, the shop wasnt very packed but the ramen store next to us had a super long queue.... might consider trying out the ramen next time when there wasnt so many people....

| how to prepare your own gyoza sauce |
 |
| free beansprout & cabbage pickle... nice =) |
|
 |
| vegetable soup... is like meatless borch... yummy |
 |
| pork gyoza |
 |
| rice with lots of furikake!!!! |
 |
| sides.... |
so for each set it comes with rice(difference size at no additional charge), 5pcs gyoza (pork, chicken or prawn), miso/vegetable soup & 2 side dishes....all these at affordable prices of $13.90!!!! (or was it $15.90, i cant remember the exact price) at first i thought i wont be full but actually, i couldnt finished the rice.... the side dishes were so so but gyoza were really not bad.... & the best thing was that it has different type of meat, NOT only pork filling, so that more people can eat... ie: my bf... cause he doesnt eat pork... so he had prawn gyoza.... i think gyoza king is quite a nice japanese store with affordable prices.... will definitely go back again =)
