2012 CNY Catalog Photoshoot

Yeah its been quite awhile since CNY... but i'll never forget how much prepration and anticipation everyone had before the day arrives...

For girls... the planning of the outfit for house visiting and events during CNY sure play a important part...

So, in this post.. here we are shooting for the 2012 东方爱 CNY catalog...

Started our day at the office doing our make up and hair... Wanted to achieve a oriental look that day so it was long cat eye wink and red lip stick....

Here I am with my pre-curled hair looking like Lulu... Haha..

With our half done hair setting off to the photoshoot scene at Scarlet hotel!

Apologise for the lack of BTS photos for this shoot as there's a major delay in the shoot...

Setting up the dressing table for the magic of hair styling to work!

Angelyn and I trying to look scary with spotlights and our red lipstick...
 I think we finished one bottle of hairspray each that day!!!

This was for the next outfit...

Accessorise and getting ready...

 First scence for the cover page...

How can I resist camwhoring with the chandelier lights and mirror in the restroom...

In our second outfit... I got the dress I am wearing for a CNY lunch!

Discussing the shooting poses and scene...

Scene 3 the pastel green and grey theme...

 Nichole...


Here's with Emma... I totally risked my life for this photo, because I'll be gone once I fall back... was having cold sweat while taking this photo...
 What's worst?? This photo was not selected! Hahah!!  yeah.. shit happens in life...but well,what's most important is the quality of the photos...


And yeah... that was the last BTS photo...

Here's the actual photos for the catalog....

This is my favourite shot!







 It was alot of hard work behind these photos... What do you think??

Sam's Bday gathering 2011

Yeah! back dated post again! As seen from the title, in this gathering, we had our first wavehouse experience!!!

Now I know how my clothes feel like... in the washing machine...we got totally spinned in the strong wave...and there follows days of aching to our not-so-young bodys n bones...
Haha!

Before the wave challenge, we filled our hungry stomaches w a hearty breakfast at Prive on kepple bay...

Why camwhore?? Bcuz the girls are LATE! We're the early birds!

Yup, finally got a seat outdoor after a long wait...because we requested for a non-smoking area and we're in a big grp plus its a weekend... ultra hard to get a seat...



While I still have long hair...

 Pretty View...
  Fruity Ice tea...



 Jin's choice for hot weather...

 Oh food!!!! Eggs benedicts!!Comes in bacon and salmon choices...

Wenna and I had ordered one each, so we could share... seriously... its heaven!!... on the first piece... "gelard" on the 2nd... 
 So its better for sharing unless u really love creamy food...

 Full English Breakfast with the eggs of ur choice... Poached..

Scrambled...

Wenna says that she totally got cheated by us when we all agreed to "dress-down"...Cuz she came with nude face.. Explains all her pics with shades on! Sorry Babe!!!!

Jin the VFF n her croissant...


The very raw salad she couldn't take it...

Sam once said... "will you girls buy me my Favourite Pandan Kaya cake frm bangawan solo for my Bday??" .... Keke... here you have it!! Credits to ah wei!


Even it's a small portion but ML always share when we can...
 Ang Bao for Bday...

Group Photo w better lightings...


Yeah.. The weather seems good so we decided to go to Sentosa for our first wavehouse challenge...

No photos of traveling.. so here we are teleport to the restroom of Siloso Beach... In our beach wear!


Oh ya..Girls, we are warned not to wear bikinis on its own for the wavehouse unless you don't mind some free show..:)
 It's a "surfer's" activity wannabe after all...

We are all ready!!

It would be the best to wear a tight top as the wave will spin whatever lose items on you! We've seen lotsa free show while waiting for our turn...




 I created my own mid-drift beach wear with a crop tee... Inspired by some korean fashion.... Simply use a sissior to snip of a 10cm cut at the middle point of the back of the Tee and Tie a small knot it will turn out tight n fitting!

 Looking like this...


 Challenge the pouty lips looks..
 Pouts3!!

As no one was there to take photos of our ugly moments on the wave...or rather...IN the waves... So here's the tired & Hungry ppl after all the spinning...




 Nude face excpet the fake lashes...I swear I did NOT reapply my fake lash... I was born with it! Haha!
ok...actually I don't know why this particular eyelash glue was so powerful! Stay on throughout the whole wave challenge and even shower!! while Sam's lash n lens was being washed out....

What Brand???  Nothing fancy... "Darkness" I got it from SaSa

The old half dried bottle of glue is more tacky due to the lower moisture level, hence the higher concentration!Because I realise the 2nd bottle I purchased was not as strong as the previous one I've got... Well, just my assumption, you can try and let me know!

Conclusion of the wavehouse challenge? Hmm... Its definately worth trying if you are someone who wants to try watersports but still an amature....like a trial ground for the real surfing...

However I hated the waiting part! If your session was fully occupied, and you are lousy at it (which most likely will be, because its our first time!) you got washed away and there you go... 30secs of balancing on wave.... 7-8 pax queue before your next turn...

Some who are more pros can balance up to 6-7mins or longer... before you know it, the 1 hour session ends! so yeah...gotta be patient!!!

And I kinda hurt my neck after that... because I hardly exercise... so this is what I've got...

But everything is worth trying with my girls! So this year's challenge is to go for marathon!! And tonight's our first training!!

See ya!!
