of exploding generators

the uni campus closed for a second day, after yesterday's incident where "a generator exploded" and left the building devoid of electrical current. yeah, "exploded"*.

so i followed a friend to view and choose her wedding photos today. while she was racking her brains choosing 20 photos out of nearly 200 shots taken, i decided to make some enquiries about their packages. it wasn't long before i decided to try somewhere else.. although they did nice studio shots for my friend [save for this one particular setting**], the outdoor shoots (which i want!) were a little disappointing, and, most unfortunately, there was a bit of a communication problem - i didn't speak fluent enough cantonese to describe what i wanted (let alone mandarin), and they didn't speak enough english to describe their packages.

*the technical accuracy of the statement has not been verified!

**a weird one - the couple was positioned peering through a small bouquet of dried branches perched in a vase. my friend thought it too 'bollywood'ish.. tho don't think it was bollywood at all.. really, what's so nice about a vase, of dead branches?
