One Crazy Week

The past 10 days is the most craziest time I've had in these recent years.


Since Bun bring Xuan Xuan back to Ipoh for holiday purpose, and I'll have to stay back at KL for my course and some events, I'm truly a 100% freedom person!


What can be more happier than being 100% freedom, with no restrictions where and when to come and go? But of course, in order to enjoy the freedom, I have to sacrifice something too.... as in financial, and of course physically.


I think I bombed my bank account, and feeling super fatigue these 2 days due to 10 days of sleep insufficient. I think the total hours I spend at my own home during these 10 days less than 48 hours, crazy or not? Hahahahahaaha. Even I can't believe what I've done.


And now, I have very serious case of unable to pull back myself into one whole piece and live the dull and boring life I used to.... OMG! You don't know how hard it is to going back into the 'jail of life' once you've tasted the freedom.


Anyway, just did a MAJOR shopping for myself. Never bought so many things in one go, all for myself in recent years too. The satisfaction of seeing all the things stuff inside my bag, lugging it till home, then place everything out, is so freakin' unspeakable.



Nothing much, just some essential stuff to add into my so call 'model's bag'. LOL!


Spend so much money, but looks like just got few items. LOL!


Maintenance fees of a girl is so damn high, all you guys out there with beautiful looking partner should spend more time on appreciating the effort of them spending in making themselves pretty, and bring the proud feeling out from you.


Tomorrow is the FIRST day we're going to get some serious kick in learning catwalk. I hope I can learn as much as I can... I want to be something I always wanted to be all these years! Please pray and support me!!!


Last but not least:


Happy Mooncake Festival

Brand New Week, Brand New Me





Although this is not the first payment in my life, nor the first payment that I earn as a freelancer, but I truly appreciate that what I earn today is what I gain for life.


It's really a true experience to work with my guru Benjamin, all the models, assistants and designers. Although throughout the whole show I feel pressure because everyone looks so great and in their tip top shape and I'm like the noob-est of all, but still, I'm glad that I'm given chance to taste the pressure.


I know that I will have a lot to learn from now on, I will keep on learning, and will not stop for any circumstances. I want to be success, and success is the only key for me to survive. I will not give up.


Lastly, thanks for all the chances and all the wishes from friends and family. Together, we can achieve a better self, a better tomorrow, I believe. Just keep on fighting!!! *^^*

Busy Busy Week

How's everybody??? Going into the holiday mood already??? Well, I guess holiday is not meant for me for this coming festive season.


First thing is:


I'M OFFICIALLY A STUDENT!!!!


Muahahahaha~ God knows how happy and excited I am when my modeling course started on 1st of September. My catwalk guru Benjamin Toong is awesome!!! I like his style of teaching so much I knew I can learn something from him.


The 2nd day of the class is very interesting, we're required to train ourselves not to be shy, so we have to go around and asking strangers to take photos with us! LOL!!! And that will not be a problem to me, since I've been working in events and exhibitions for quite some time.


After that, there comes the highlight of the day - Train the strength of our legs! Wow! You don't know how hard it is to do a single standing on one leg in a 5 and half inch high heels!!! The training goes about 30 minutes I guess, and most of us are exhausted and can feel muscles stretching already!


I can still my legs, upper thighs and lower thighs stretching and in pain till TODAY!!! I guess this is the result for not exercising regularly. 


Besides going to classes, I'm involved in 3 photoshoots this week. God knows how hectic the schedule is and the heavy stuff and bags I'm lugging around. LOL! 


But after seeing all the beautiful photos from photographers, I know that all my efforts of make-up, styling, changing clothes, sweating and doing some ridiculous difficult poses worth it all!!!



I like this feel!!! *LOVES*





Thanks Matthew Choo for capturing this wonderful angle of me!



Bright red hair, because of the studio lighting.


I love the VOGUE in me, thanks Clarence!!!



I never seen myself in such peaceful looks before. Thanks Wee Meng Tan!!




LOL! Act cute!!! *paiseh nya~*


It's really a great learning experience for me to work with all these different photographers. I realize that I can see different potential in me through their lenses... And of course, their generosity for teaching me each and everything I don't know in photoshooting is definitely going to help me in getting into the next level in modeling field.


Thank you guys for all the beautiful photos captured and I truly love all these photos. Hope to see more of the photos coming in so I can 'show off' in my blog. Hahahahahahahaha! XD

Guess what, I just got the Saturday's photoshoot from Matthew!! *Super Happy!!*


Here's a preview of the series of photos:

Can you believe it is actually taken in front of the house, the wall of the car porch? Looks like inside studio isn't?

As I've told Matthew, I feel grateful that he's a kind photographer which willing to discuss and guide the models of their posing, facial expression, and even gave me suggestions of which angle can show the best of me!


I've gained so much knowledge throughout this whole photoshoot session, and I know money can't buy these knowledge. Thank you for all the sharing of thoughts, Matthew.


I will post the whole series of photos in blog in the next few days! Do check out my blog oftenly k? Cheers!

The White Queen Impostor

Back at early of April, 10 bloggers were invited to The Smokehouse, Bangsar for a tea party/food review session. *Oops, food review, bloggers, free food invitation seems like some hot keywords for now.* And the theme for this tea party is The Mad Hatter's Tea Party!


I believe that you've already seen my blog post about the food review. (Just in case you missed it, here's the link for you, they have awesome English theme ambience and food! Click Here to Read )


But I guess I didn't blog much about my make-up for that day!!! So I decided to show you more photos of me - impostor of the White Queen character.



White Queen driving. LOL! Because don't have Prince Charming fetch me.


A week earlier, we were all required to impost a character in the blockbuster movie "Alice in The Wonderland" since the theme is Mad Hatter's Tea Party. I guess lots of blogger will choose either Alice or Mad Hatter, so I was thinking about the Red Queen or the White Queen.


But I just realize that I don't any red dress (Can I say FML!??) so the only option left for me is the White Queen. At that time, I haven't watch the movie, so I don't have any clue how is the White Queen's make-up and outfit looks like. All I have are some movie posters which I googled.



White Queen stuck in the traffic jam.

So, the day for the food review arrives. And I realize that: I don't have any white dress either!!! (DOUBLE FML CAN!???) So, I'm force to wear 2 piece and add some impact accessories to make it up like a queen. LOL!


I even use my faux pearl hairband as necklace. Damn pathetic. 



Eye make-up close up.


I heard that there's this existence of WHITE foundation, and I try very hard to find it, even ask around from friends who are taking make-up course, too bad it's a bit rare, I guess only Geisha been using it.


So, I used my own method to make it white, but boohooo~ the white doesn't last long and it can be apply evenly on my skin.


Two Face White Queen. Before and After.

To 'electrified' my eyes, I even put on lower fake lashes. Damn hardcore! You have no idea how hard it is to apply it on! I wonder how those Japanese manage to make it looks so natural with their lower fake lashes on.



Face Powder from my Grandma era!


Since i can't get the white foundation, so THIS is the powder I used to make my face appear white. Not that visible, but it sure is something nostalgic isn't? *Reminds me of my grandma. Sniff sniff*


I guess now I'm satisfied after the secret finally revealed. LOL! I don't have any clue what to post about next... Maybe about Xuan Xuan??? Hehe! His birthday is coming!!! *excited* Gonna plan how to celebrate with him. Hehe.
