KEEPING MY WORD

When we speak do we meant what we say? I am now very cautious what I say or write even on someone's fb wall these days. This is because people will take your word for it for what ever you say, more so if it is a promise, especially if made to children. Of course sometimes we say things without thinking of the implication or consequences. Let me relate a true story(one which I am not proud of)

Many years ago, and I can't even recall what was the occasion or when but it was about the KL tower which my children have been pestering me to take them there.

So I said something like ok daddy will take you there one day. Soon I forgoten all about it, but it remain with my children. So whenever I said something like this again they will checkmated me and said Daddy your one day never come one la. And they reminded me the subject of their missed trip to the KL tower. I have erred since and now learnt not to say things I might regret later on. So if I know I can't do a certain thing, I prefer not to comment or kept quite, but if I was very confident I will be able to fufill  it I will let them know but with an open date and I will make sure I get back to them.

Today's event is one example. I remember this girl whom I had done a photo shoot before wrote to me asking if I could do another shoot for her to make her look good, as she seems to like my photos.(I am flatted, but honestly I don't think much about me so call skill) I told her I will try but will not be able to confirm a date as I was busy with my work, but I will let her know once I have the time. I only goes back home once or twice a month and that usually coincide with my hiking programe or a friend's wedding. It so happen there was a public holiday on the same week of my planned trip back home. I quickly informed her and make some arrangement  with some of my phtographers friends to join in. Different photographers have different styles.This will give her more selections to choose from. She also brought along another  friend. Wow we got two models to shoot. Never had so much fun shooting the girls. So Mei Yan, here are the photos as uncle promised. Hope you like them. Sure feel good to be able to keep my promise.
