#worried for my poor bby ricoh bc it's not rain-proof aaaa

pictured: moments before disaster struck us. going for an outdoor photoshoot with a rainy weather forecast is maximum clown behaviour. 🤡

mogu is back from australia for a while, and i agreed to help him with operation: get that girl (back). he had to fly back soon, so we could only hold the shoot on sunday.

things that transpired within the first two hours at our first shoot location (jurong lake gardens):

we got kicked out of starbucks' outdoor dining area the moment we took the plastic covers off our food...... ok i kinda saw that coming but when we said we weren't going to eat the food, the staff said we also couldn't take photos for social media?? sounds like bs to me. mogu even bought a drink in hopes of not getting yeeted but we had no rizz so we ended up having to pack up and relocate elsewhere.

managed to find a bench that we could use. when we were getting ready to shoot, it started pOURING. mogu had to use his one and only umbrella to defend the food bc the plastic covers for the food were quickly filling up with rainwater and unusable at that point. he was completely drenched rip. the visuals were so pathetic that i didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

the rain didn't seem like it was going to subside any time soon, so mogu told me to get to shelter and have my lunch first. and i did just that. took my food, drink, and bag with me as i headed back to the toilet area/rest stop just next to starbucks (lmao). oN THE WAY BACK, MY UMBRELLA DECIDED TO DO A FLIPPITY FLIP. and i had no way to flip it down bc my hands were fULL!!! so i watched with horror as my salmon rice bowl started becoming a soup. ochazuke?? more like amezuke. i could only use my body as a shield so i was also drenched at that point.

scarfed down my food (after pouring out as much water as i could without tipping the entire bowl over)........... next to the handicapped toilet................

when the rain died down, i went back to rescue mogu and the rest of the food. since the food covers couldn't be used, we just had to stack and balance as many items as we could in our arms. mogu took the chicken skewers, stood up, tripped over something, and dropped most of the skewers onto the floor. rip skewers. (we couldn't pick them up immediately bc both our hands were full but mogu went to clean up after we finished eating at the rest stop.)

after eating more food (seasoned with rainwater ofc), my stomach started feeling funny. luckily for me, the handicapped toilets were just right beside us. spoilers: it was diarrhoea. when i was sitting on the toilet, i heard some noises outside and i got a bit nervous bc i couldn't rmb if i locked the door properly?? so i reached over, and my phone fell out of my lap (there were no bag hangers so i had my stuff on my lap don't judge) oNTO THE STINKY WET FLOOR. helps. i tried to decontaminate it as much as i could but aaAAA. the tap was also not working very well so i was struGGLING.

while i was having a fun toilet time, mogu realised his phone wasn't with him??? so he waited for me to come out of the loo to ask if i had his phone. i did not. so, he ran off in search of it. good news!! he left it on a bench while cleaning up the chicken skewers and nobody took it. phew.

luwi joined us at our second shoot location, which was near beauty world?? she wanted to try out the new lens she got for her fujifilm~ she even brought a full set of clothes for me to change into!!! including underwear!!! i only changed out of my jorts though bc the rest of my clothes were dry by that time. tskr!!! 😭🙏

yO the photos she took were so cinematic??? i can't share most of the photos bc they're for private use only bUT here's an unedited pic of chi straight out of her camera!! the bokeh is insaneeee.

we did attempt to get to the scenic spot at the rifle range nature park, but our plans kept getting halted by the rain. we just had to make do with what we had and call it a day bc it was getting quite late. i think the photos turned out ok though!!! good work guys!!!
