Venice Restaurant In Simferopol

Today we have our individual graduation photography session for the graduation book of the university. We went way too early for the photo shoot. It was supposed to be at 1300. However, we reached at 1200. So we waited and waited and waited. Finally the moment came ...

After taking several shoots of it, we went to a second room to choose our photos. But, frankly speaking, I wasn't too excited upon seeing it. I have heard people of previous sessions saying how skillful, how professional the photographer was, how he requested students to tilt and turn for different angles. So maybe because of this, I (actually quite a number of us) was expecting a little bit more.

By the moment we saw the pictures (to select one from 4-5 pictures), we were like ... in total silence :( Bad, hmmm, ok that sounds a little too cruel. I mean, not too good; not to say worst but just not very good. But still, we each chose our one "best" :( Hopefully after some editing by the professionals, it might turn out better, if not perfect hahaha

Then we went to the city centre --- Etalon Photo Shop for our "second shooting" --- picture for our graduating certificate. Paid UAH20 for 6 passport size photos. And at least this time I am satisfied. Trust me, when I say I am satisfied with my photos, it means not bad :D

So after that we (actually just me and another girl, AnnFeng, :P) "travelled" our way through to Venice ~~~ Venice Restaurant for a dinner ... well, for Sunny's Birthday dinner. Well, 2nd Birthday dinner to be precise. Or should we not count the mistaken 1st? The environment is good, food is nice, at least they were freshly made and served. We were satisfied :) Guess, I am easily satisfied ??? LOL
