TwoPixels Photography Anniversary Giveaway!!

TwoPixels Photography is having the above Giveaway, which is due today!!

Here is my last minute entry :p

"An Ode to....Why I wish to have a PhotoSession with TwoPixels Photography"

The main reason is to get my family pictures captured by pro-photographer..yess...my sweet memories fade fast..with TwoPixels they will forever last!
Winning this giveaway is gonna the best new year gift of welcoming 2010 with smile ;)
Obviously I am one classic example of amateur-obsessed photographer (odd but true..huh..). In the past, at present, perhaps in the future??? (unless I sign-up for any pro photography course..emm...in my dreams perhaps hohoho)
Photography, Portraiture Session has always been my passion- ever since I got to know the thing called 'camera' - that was during my primary school...-->old type of Kodak film roll camera lor..
It is one of the best way of having a break from my hectic life being a working and studying mom...so Portraiture Session with TwoPixels is the best modern style of "BREAKAWAY"- that's true and fun too!
X-tremely high quality pictures by TwoPixels - yes...me envy those pro-photographers like those from TwoPixels... having those skills...carrying DSLR around....sooo nice ;)..seeing is believing!.. can check their awesome works here <--pls click
Enticing prize offered by TwoPixels - soooo hard to resist...in conjunction with their first anniversary
Love u all...love everything about TwoPixels...your works, your dedication, passion, skills, talents, and LOVE u definitely for generously having the giveaway!!
So now keeping my fingers crossed...hoping and praying to be one of the lucky winners!!!

Overnite stay @Holiday Inn Express, London Stansted Airport

Upon arrival at the London Stansted Airport, after passing off the immigration clearance, we quickly pushed all our baggage in a trolley to find a way to the shuttle...yup, we would be spending the nite @ the hotel..
OMG, the temperature outside the airport was 6 degree celcius...plus the cold freezing wind...EXTREMELY COLD!!! i was worried that my boys couldn't stand the coldness...my Ariff was crying a bit, and then he kept on falling asleep in the carrier (I carried her in Bjorn bb carrier)...so I kept on wkaing him up, coz I'm scared that he might get fainted because of the extreme cold..

we waited for about 10-15 min, and there arrived the shuttle bus (mini bus), which brought us to the hotel.

The check-in process was pretty fast, so we quickly moved into the hotel room (located at first floor)..but it was very2 far from the elevator...so we got to 'menapak' with all the big bags *sigh*

The hotel is 3-star rating, and overall is ok..the room is small, yet cozy...sweet deco, with one double bed and one sofa bed...o yess, the room is priced GBP 53 per nite ;)

The prob is...in spite of our tiredness, we could not sleep..-->JET LAG!!!oh no...what to do...it gonna take some time for us to ovrecome this thing...

the buffet breakfast is purely English style menu...breads, buns, croissant, cornflakes, milk, hot drinks, yoghurt is all that they had....but we ate heartily, as we gonna spent 4 hours travelling on the bus from Stansted bus terminal to Notts...

Let's layan some of the pics taken...

Flight D72008 Air Asia-X from LCCT to London Stansted Airport

Just wanna share some pics taken during the flight (26th December) departing at 3.50 pm...and the whole journey lasted for 13 1/2 hours...that's pretty long rite...*sigh

luckily, my 2 boys were somehow ok and behaved for the whole journey...Zharfan got few activities to keep him occupied...like sticker activities with Papa, watching e-dvd player (rented for RM30 - 6 hours)...

Ariff was quite happy in the bassinet..playing with his toys, makan nestum, and of course sleeping ;)
~Mama Zharfan~

Off to Notts...GOOD BYE M'sia...for a while..

This is an auto-entry..

Me & family are leaving for Notts on 26th December 3pm from LCCT to Stansted Airport Londin UK via Air Asia-X...

Would be arriving at Stansted almost midnite...so would be staying overnite at Holiday Express Hotel near the airport, and the next morning, we would be taking a coach (ie bus) to Notts (that takes another 4 hr journey)...

Not sure when I would be having access to internet, as me need to settle down - to get and move in to a rented house, get the internet line installed, register Zharfan to nursery etc

To all my dear blogger friends, family & relatives pls pray for my smooth journey and happy life in Notts..

Regards
Mama Zharfan
