Snips Gradution Show 2012

Snips, one of the famous hair and make-up academy in Malaysia just held its year 2012 graduation show last month at The Icon. It wasn't my first time to model for Snips but it was my first time to visit the Penthouse located on the rooftop of The Icon. The view of Kuala Lumpur from the rooftop is superb! I would really love to visit the place again during night time, it'll be so romantic!

Okay,  back to the show. On that day, all models are from Amber Chia Academy, with Catwalk Guru Benjamin Toong arrange all the models and choreographs, it feels like we're one big family getting together and make things work! Such a wonderful feeling, especially the outcome of the show is something extraordinaire and audience were treated with astounding sight of modeling show they never seen before. 

Assign model to hair and make-up artists.

Yeah, we only get to know whose masterpiece we'll be modeling on the spot and we totally have no idea of the looks they're gonna create using our hair and face. It's kinda surprising to each and everyone of us models actually. The theme for the show that night is "Shanghai Oriental", and this is my hairstylist - Onggus Mah's creation:

Red and gold flowers, and the center of some flowers are LED light bulbs that will be switch on before I perform.

A lot of seniors and people gave credits to Onggus's creation because of the details and neat work he has done. He haven't been sleeping well for that week because of the graduation show, he gave his best on his creation and I hope that I can model well for his work too!

Bye bye my pretty nude gel nails and ohai bloody red nails, in soft gel as well.

Bare Face Ghetto!
Onggus is so serious when doing his thing.

The backstage space is so limited that some of the models have to move to the audience seating area to get their make-up done. As for me, the make-up artist decided to do it outdoor, I get to see the KL landscape and sky while having my make-up done. Poor make-up artist sweat like mad because he's wearing black and long sleeves some more.

Hand fan prepared by my make-up artist Simonne Cey.
This pose is called 犹抱琵琶半遮面 Ghetto version. lololololol. 

After Simonne suffered for like half an hour, we decided to move indoor but beside the door to get better lighting from the natural sunlight. The indoor lights are quite dim, can't see clearly.

First phase done.
Somehow I feel I looked like Matsuyama Kenichi here don't know why. *delusion*

Simonne working on it...

About 80% done!
I really like the usage of colours and the blending technique, looks so nice.
Simonne is the 1st runner up winner for KPMA Make-Up artist competition held in MidValley earlier October as well.

Finalizing the make-up, clipping everything on my real hair and eating fried rice as dinner all happened at almost the same time. To complete a Shanghai Oriental look creatively is such a long process but when everything is done, the satisfaction isn't something can be explain by words.

Shanghai Oriental - collaboration of Onggus Mah and Simonne Cey.

Sponsored fishtail gown, a very heavy long gown to be exact.

Models are divided into four groups, each and every group has their own choreographs and style. I'm so happy to be placed in the first group and one of the models to do the opening that stunned few audiences for showing up at the audience area. There's so many things running through my mind on that time, I have to think of the poses, have to control my facial expression, have to fully show audiences hairstylist and make-up artist's creative works as well as take care of the tail of my gown for not getting in my way when I walk. It was never easy to be a model.

Show done, finally some time and relaxing moment to take some photos:

I really like the whole look of mine that night.
I think it fits the theme perfectly don't you think so?

The one and only model I get to take photo with - Amanda.

Last selca of that night.
I find my enthusiasm of camwhoring gone landslide down and I find no explanation for it. =X

Here are some few photos that I got tagged in Facebook, photos taken while I'm performing on stage (credit to their respective owners):

Neck pain due to the heavy hair accessories, feet sore because of high heels and lots of make-up remover used because of the crazy creative make-up but it was all worth for the experience on stage. I'm glad the hairstylist and make-up artist like how I presented their work that night that they texted me and say thank you. At first they thought I will ruin their work with lousy cat walk. lol. WHY IS IT SO!!! I can be considered as experienced model okay! LOL.








Thanks to Amber Chia Academy, Benjamin Toong, Swing, My make-up artist Simonne Cey and Hairstylist Onggus Mah and all the models I met that day. Such an awesome day spent with everyone there and wonderful experience added in my modeling career! Thank you! (Anyone wants to collaborate with the hairstylist and make-up artist you can drop me an email I'll link you guys up!) 

Lezzetto

Ice cream, many would kill for ice cream especially when it comes to yummy tasting ones. When gelato came into Malaysia's market, my love for ice cream has lessen as I want something sweet, cooling but at the same time - LOW FAT! Gelato is the perfect choice of dessert for me, I just had to have a scoop whenever I saw outlet nearby me.

Have you ever wonder, at restaurants and hotels when there are ice cream for desserts, what brands are those ice cream actually? The taste are so good but there's no way to find out the brands unless it's stated isn't? 

Here's one brand that they supplies ice cream to 5 Star Hotels and famous restaurants in Klang Valley area, and their ice cream tasted soooooo good you just wanna try each and every flavour they have in the display freezer, I present to you - Premium ice cream brand with an affordable price:

Lezzetto

One of their outlet located at LG Floor, Sg Wang Plaza.

I know what you thinking, it doesn't look as high class like other ice cream outlets we saw in bigger shopping malls, but believe me, it's the taste of their ice cream that keeps you going back! Lezzetto in Turkish, means 'Lazat'(Bahasa Malaysia, which means 'yummy' in English), and it's a premium ice cream brand that established in Malaysia since year 2007!





Manufactured by Joshafa Sdn Bhd, Lezzetto has over 40 flavours of gelato and sorbet ice creams and they are all JAKIM certified halal and 100% vegetarian. Made by high quality plant-based gelatin, the authentic flavours of Lezzetto ice creams taste so creamy and tasteful that the sound I can't stop making that day is: MMmmmmmmm~

These are just a fraction from 40+ flavours they manufacture!

Mr Jamal Surani, the Managing Director of Lezzetto
Personally come to the outlet and meet all of us bloggers. *touching*

Started with just one outlet in year 2007, Lezzetto grows and expand until today, there are five outlets and wholesaler to regular blue chip customers. More and more flavours added to the menu as time goes by, from 9 flavours in November 2007, it has over 40 flavours to date, and some are very special flavours like Teh Tarik, Wasabi, D24 Durian flavours which brings your taste bud goes to a roller-coaster ride!






Aside from their yummylicious ice cream, ordering ice cream can be a pleasure to our sight as well. It's not something you'll see everywhere, Lezzetto is one of the place you can see a Turkish Barrel:

Gelato Master doing his thing. 

This Turkish Barrel is such an interesting freezer that when you stir the gelato that's inside the barrels, it'll become so compact, sticky and chewy. They won't melt in a short while like normal ice cream does, definitely something I never knew of - ice cream that you can chew!

Stirring the ice cream, the more you stir the more compact it'll be!

Mustafa holds the same position for more than two minutes just to let us take nice photos of it!
And see, the ice cream will just stick to the spatula and cone, still doesn't melt even though it's contacted with air for quite some time!

He moves the spatula here and there like dancing or practicing with the 'weapon'. 

Seriously, I think this is the BEST ice cream for kids, no more dropping the whole scoop of ice cream on the floor hahaha!

Tammy also want to try and stir the ice cream, but it's too hard to move the spatula around without proper training and muscles.

After the 'performance' from Mustafa, the highlight of the day is here: Gelato and Sorbet ice cream tasting time!!!

Teh Tarik flavour!

I tried so many flavours of ice cream on that day and some really made an impression on me, like Durian, Black Sesame, Mango, Chocolate, these are flavours I recommend you to get if you were to visit Lezzetto, they are awesome! It's like eating the real fruit in frozen state, there a tiny bits of the real fruits in the gelato, the grainy texture and sweetness really taste like heaven. I never had such tasteful gelato and sorbet ice cream before to be honest.





We tried most of the flavours available in the display freezer and still couldn't decide which to choose for the whole scoop because each and every flavour taste so nice. In the end I didn't want the whole scoop because I'm so full. Had ice creams for breakfast, literally.

What Happened Lately

Actually nothing much. LOL. When I think back of how I spent my time for the past few weeks, it's either I'm rushing here and there for work, events and castings, or I'm just spending my time with my family and finally had time watch movie with each and everyone of them. Something I never done with them before!

I think each and every one of my family members have their own preference when come to movie selection. My mum likes thrilling, horror movies, my younger brother likes action, youngest brother likes fiction, fantasy and sometimes action, and my dad... I don't know what he prefers actually. =X Normally I'll find him watching Hong Kong dramas at home via Astro, does that means he likes soap drama or emotional/sentimental type of movies? lol.

First attempt on leopard prints this year! Decided to draw my eyeliners in a more dramatic ways:

Feline Eyes and Earth Tone. The animal instict?

Casual Rock with Leopard prints.

Honestly, I think by watching movies I learned a lot about diversity and perspectives, it's like watching something happening in front of your eyes, each and everytime different incident, different outcomes, different thinking, different way of expressing etc. I can accept a wide range of movies that I find most of the people wouldn't, like my mum, she thinks that watching movie is a type of 'luxury' that you spend your time and money sitting there do nothing. I tried to explain to her my perspectives but it seems she can't see it. But still, she went with me everytime I invite her to horror movie screenings, lol. 

As far as I can remember, Frankenweenie is the FIRST movie I watch with my youngest brother Wilson. I'm glad he enjoyed the movie and find it nice even though it's a bit 'gloomy' and in black and white lol.

Le mum specially buy him a jacket for the movie session because he doesn't have one.
That's how seldom he goes to airconditioned places.

Became a replacement for a friend to help in ushering for the ATV Miss Asia Pageant Final 2012 night. Didn't know that we will be dress up in Gilbert Ng's Weddinspired gown that night. Like what Sheena said: Chiffon is our ELEMENT! Gosh I love chiffon gown so, so much!!! Got a blue one that night and I felt like a mermaid.

Dreamy gradient blue chiffon gown~ Me likey!

My friend - Ling, was one of the Top 18 finalists for the pageant that night. She looked gorgeous!

See this photo? Now stop asking me why I don't join pageant competition already will ya? LOL!

Super long gown. 

Attending castings is one of my routine nowadays. One of the challenging ones is the one that requires me to speak Japanese. At first I thought it is something short, like a self-introduction or so, but it's not. It's a full A4 page, 3 paragraphes of Japanese script that I have to present in front of the camera. I got so panic when I receive the script that I quickly google translate those kanjis that I have no idea about! But yeah, I didn't nail the job, so you know, a lot of wrong pronunciations. haha.

Role of the day - Japanese newscaster for new born baby otter! Hahahaha.

I hate bugs, especially cockroach is the top most hated and feared insect in my list, but this one, got me really worried:

It flew in from my room's window, and I couldn't find what name is the insect after I tried google bout it. The only information I have is that this is an unknown insect that caused skin infections in Vietnam. I don't know how true is that but I definitely don't want to touch it with my bare hands even after I killed it. Ewww~ Living alone really is terrifying sometimes, especially have to deal with insects and bugs. Urgh~*shivers*










I present to you... My dad:

Hahaha. It seems I'm showing all my family members face in this blog post. This is during dinner before Skyfall's premier. Skyfall is the movie my dad watch in cinema after Aladdin which he brought us to when we were small, that makes about 15 - 20 years gap for not stepping into a cinema after that. Such a long, long time right? I'm glad I made the decision to bring my dad to Skyfall's premiere and not anyone else, I really, really hope it is something special he experience for after so long. We had Pasta Zanmai for dinner that night, and it was awful... T_T 

Am a bit caught up with the idea of mermaid lately after I wore the blue chiffon gown from Weddinspired, and when I was invited to a Champagne party at The Pool, with given theme: Pirates of Yelloween on Halloween day, the word "Mermaid Hair" just struck me and I just have to do it! Haha.

Veuve Clicquot Champagne Party

My style of Mermaid Hair
This is the best I could do as my hair is consider short to do the curls.
Super dramatic eyelashes from Daiso!

It was a rainy night and literally the first time I spent Halloween with my friends. Bumped into few of my girl friends that night, had fun taking photos, chit-chatting and drinking. 

Carolyn, dressed up as female pirate working at the event that night.
Kidnapped by a pirate.

Loots!

Phone's flash sucks to the max. T_T

Jane, my secondary school friend, she looked gorgeous that night in the gold dress!
(Photo grabbed from her FB lol)

The climax of the night that keep girls awwwwwing:

Fireworks!

With Sonia babe.
It's been 2 years since I last seen her!

It's the first time I party with Sonia, Jane and Don and definitely my first time had champagne. I think it was quite okay if compare to beer (I dislike beer) but I prefer Johnny Walker Black Label with Coke as I can mix it myself. My perfect mixture of the drink will be: 95% Coke + 5% Liquor. Hahahaha. I just hate the bitterness of alcohol that lingers in my mouth. Even though I mix it like that, I still easily get drunk for like 2 cups after. Sucks to be me when it comes to drinking alcohol.








How many of your dislike camouflage prints? I find it quite nice especially when it is not in khaki + green in colour. When I went to the premiere screening of Soar Into The Sun, I wore my camouflage print jacket that I bought about 8 - 10years back. Luckily still can fit in! Haha

Simple make-up of the day

Camouflage! Military! Air Base! Korean! Rain(Bi)! Aircraft! I'm coming!!!!

After I watched the trailer, I told myself I WILL watch the movie as it is so interesting and thrilling and my favourite Korean celebrity - Rain is the main actor! What can be more satisfying than watching him in such a cool, macho look driving an aircraft! The partner I chose to go to the premiere with me is my younger brother Jason.

A lot of people been saying he's good looking, do you find him good looking as well?
lol

Soar Into The Sun is such a good movie that I cried when one of the pilot died during a mission. Korean never failed to make their audience cry one! There's Rain the macho good looking guy, Shin Se Kyung the Ulzzang Korean girl, some part of the movie look as beautiful as in a music video, and some part is so thrilling that you hold your breathe throughout the scenes! Definitely one of the recommended movie to watch!






Okay, I've been aimlessly typing nonsense in this blog post but it kinda concludes what happened in my life lately. Kinda busy weeks ahead that I find I had no time to sleep until naturally wake-up in the morning for the next few days, which is quite a sad thing to me as 'sleep' is what makes me happy. lol

But anyway, I will tell myself:
Comme des Fuckdown!

Happy weekend to ya'll!!!
