SGS

Well, tomorrow is the day.  Unfortunately the weather has changed and it will be an overcast day.  “Showers or Two”, it says.  Hopefully it won’t rain in the morning!

I’ve finally finished the SGS back-blogging – all the way from when we began in December 2006 to this day. 130 posts in 20 days.

A special thanks to Elaine Gan for designing the SGS banner logo!

Well, tomorrow’s plan has slightly changed from the original, in that Steph’s birthday present (i.e. the camera+lens+accessories) would be given to her after the proposal.  James and Lee-Mei will be using the equipment to take the paparazzi photos.

Steph recently completed a photography short-course and is in the beginning stages of her photographic hobby.  The camera she currently uses was her Dad’s old one, and she desperately needs a new one.  I thought I’d bless her with these:

• Camera: Canon EOS 450D, which came in a Kit with the following 2 lenses
• Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6 IS
• Lens: Canon EF-S 55-250mm F/4-5.6 IS
• Lens: Canon 70-200mm F/4 IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens
• Accessory: Hoya UV 67mm Filter
• Accessory: Sandisk Extreme III 4GB SDHC Card
• Accessory: Small Carry case for Camera and 2 lens
• Accessory: Carry case 70-200mm lens

Gonna try to wow my dear Stephberry with surprise after surprise… a little over 21 hours to go now =)

Ever since the Proposal Day was within range of Melbourne’s 28-Day Weather Forecast, I kept an eye on it.  hree weeks ago, there was a HIGH chance of rain on the 26th, but just last week, it changed to LOW.

The day looks more and more promising, but I know that Melbourne’s Weather challenges the most experienced meteorologists.

I’ve started planning how I’m going to propose to my dear, dear Stephberry!  The following is an extract from an email I finally sent to my family, as well as James and Lee-Mei today:
