we are on the papers!

After waiting for 3 decades, we finally have a chance to appear on paper.

And the star was none other than…. our precious son, Justin Tay!

Because of his hospitalization policy and the kawasaki that he suffered last year, we were selected by AIA for this project.

Many people ask me: Wow, so now do you get free premium for the next 20 years, since you are advertising for AIA?

My answer: Haha.. that’s my wish, but AIA has not fulfill that wish.

I guess the main takeaway of this project: FUN and more FUN!!!

Last December, on one of the saturday, the whole crew team came down to our place on a saturday morning.

Had 2 hours of professional make up and hair styling (Haha.. ya.. nothing fanciful done to hair cos they wanted natural look).

Thankful for the good makeup that covered up our eye bags and wrinkles!!!!   YAY!

And then, we had 80 shots taken at the playground underneath our house, and 80 shots taken indoors…….

It was tough job. Because basically Justin always get distracted by the playground!!!
So it was super tough to get him to focus on the camera and smile, at the right timing and right angle! :p

By the time we went upstairs for the indoor shots, he was already tired and grouchy.. so you can imagine another round of coaxing and bluffing and tricking before we finally finish the task!!!!!!

And so, after 2 months or so of editing and all the newspaper artwork (which did not bother us at all…)

We finally saw the final product on the Today Paper on 6 March 2012.

This was the best photo taken out of the 80 outdoor shots.

 

Thank God for the great experience and all the fun that we had.

Looking forward to the next publishing in the Mother and Baby magazine in May. =))
