Alright!!! A brief account of what i did this week!!!! ^.^ It's mainly to prepare for my wedding in December and my Trip to Japan in June!

On Tuesday i went to meet my bridal outfit sponsor from Labelle Couture =D They are SOOOOO nice and helpful!!! Good thing i went with Wendy thou cox i am super lousy in explaining what i want and i am not any better in making a choice between what's "gorgeous" and what's "beautiful".

Precisely. It's the same!!!!! BUT SO DIFFERENT!!!!! BUT SAME!!!!!

So end of the day, i couldn't make a decision haha ^.^ But i'm still really happy! I felt sooooo thankful that day! I mean it's like, omg.. I'm gonna cry again. Everytime i think about the things i get in life, and the people who are nice to me, i just have this 鼻酸 feeling. Like everything good just keeps happening for me. And everything i want keeps coming to me =')) Thank you, Life.

There is really no way i can be sad/ unhappy much these days. I still get angry yes, but those bouts of anger last really short. So i guess it's fine and i'm still working on it.

Only thing is, this makes me a less interesting person / blogger although at the same time, a better person. Lolol. Cox everyone loves drama, especially so if it's not their own. And i can't give you much drama anymore becox i either avoid or ignore now.

I used to take on any cat fight/ online feud with open arms. And i'd never back down. Usually cox the other parties lack good morals and good reasons to back themselves up and the rest of the world have eyes to see for themselves so i never need to dodge a bullet, i'd counter it with a grenade and then double tap with a RPG. Lolol. I'd stalk that person and continue blasting him/ her at any chance. Lolol. But i don't do any of these anymore now. But still, i suggest nobody messes with me cox I have a lot of time if i'm game. Lolol. No really *serious face* DON'T MESS WITH ME. Lololol.

Anyway, back to the topic of how my life is awesome.

The next day i went to meet my wedding planners from Eternally Yours. They took care of Wendy's ROM recept a few years back and it was awesome right!!! =DDD Thankful X 100000 to Wendy for introducing them to me!!! They were so well-organised and prepared and helpful during the meeting =') I am SO CONFIDENT my wedding will be a super beautiful and blissful and happy one ='))

I will keep updating once i get the sponsors round up! =D Too thankful for all the sponsors and others who offered so far!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

I'd never guess i'd have a day, where everything is made to perfection for me, and everyone will pay attention to me, and i don't have to worry about a thing but enjoy and remember every bit of it =)))

我太幸福了!!!!! ^.^ Also i am very 幸运!!! My life, oh my life. I hope my heart and body can take it. Eveything is so filled with positive emotions. Most of the time i feel grateful, happy, fortunate, privileged and loved. On times that are less pleasant, i try my best to feel hopeful, i live with faith and i try to stick to it. And miraculously, everything will become better ^.^

The Secret, you really shouldn't be a secret. You should be known to the whole world.

And it changes me so much over the months. I was already generally a positive and happy person but it amplifies the goodness in my characters and becox of it, i try to give less focus to things that'd break the zen. Lolol. And then one of the changes i notice is..

You know i always dream? Not like daydream dream, thou i do that quite a fair bit too but yeah, dream-dream. I dream almost every night. Each time i sleep, even if it's a nap, i'd dream. I guess it's cox i always eat and sleep right away =X

Last time when i dream of bad situations, i'd sweat and panic and get defensive in my dream and i might fight but most of the time i just feel helpless and last resort, if chased, i'd just run and float/ fly away. Lolol. But ever since Wendy introduced The Secret to me in March, and over this 2 - 3 months of trying to work it into my life, recently in all my dreams, i remember myself being very positive and even in my dreams, i tell myself, "Don't worry, this will work out" O.O And yeah, i get good dreams more often than before. Last time it's always bad weird dreams that involves fighting with hooligans or ghosts or demons or worst, killers. Lolol. I still get those but less often.

Anyway, it's just now i really see changes in myself. And i can wake up in a dream and tell myself, "Woah, you reacted well" lolol. It's like i'm proud of my sub-conscious mind or something. Lolol.

Thank you all for reading me =)

And.. ARE YOU EXCITED FOR ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I'd be flying to Japan on coming Friday!!! =DDD

I've never been there!!!! Omg my life is really awesome.

Model..? Please.

Tell me you don't have a female friend in your Facebook who keeps an album titled "Modelling" or "Portfolio" It's imposseberu. Everyone my age or younger has at least one female friend like that.

And most of the time, not all, most of the time, when you click it open to see, it's either so funny you laugh or have all your hair stand cox it's so.. So.. I don't know! It's just gross!!!

I put it on a few things.

1) The lighting
Sometimes to prevent anything from looking too sleazy and cheap, good lighting can get the job done. Strangely, the brighter and more even the lighting is for their "model shots", the more sleazy and amateurish it looks like. And the darker the lighting is, the more artistic it looks, i feel.

2) The photographer
I feel if they are keen in photography and is an amateur, they can shoot leaves, shoot sky, shoot architectures, shoot street art, shoot food, shoot their own friends, shoot their babies. Sounds like a good and affordable way to practice to me ^.^ Don't pay money to shoot xmm, can or not?

3) The outfit
I've had my fair share of being photographed when i was 16/ 17. Earn some pocket money to get by.

Blogged these pictures before lol.

Same lah, unedited except making the colour as they are on prints.

Some pictures of i did when i was 16. These pictures are from where i go conned (sorta), i blogged about it HERE. Read it if you're thinking of being a model becox the talent scounts at Orchard Road told you you can be. Lolol. Read it if you want to know more about paying for portfolio.

And one thing i've come to realise is.. Certain outfit you can only do specific expressions with it!!! Once, i was dressed in a casual and happy outfit, and this photographer KEEP INSISTING i do the edgy, high-fashion, angry and bu-shuang facial expression. Wtf is wrong with him i have no idea. On another note, some outfits are just f-up. There's no way to werk it to make it look less cheap. The only way to work with it is to make it look MORE cheap, with boobs and flesh. Sigh.

4) The model
It's the face. And the expression. And the poses. This one i cannot describe more. It's just.. Not everyone can be a model but yes, i agree everyone can be vain. Haha. So if you take photoshoot as an obsession to remember your youth and beauty, then okay lah, take it easy.

What i cannot cannot cannot cannot cannot stand, is..

GIRLS WHO CALL THEMSELVES MODELS when they have the lousiest of all the four elements listed above that'd make a good picture working for them. And the thing is, they are everywhere!!!

These girls! They're everywhere!!! They call themselves models. But all their pictures either have bad lightings, bad outfits, obviously taken in a bad angle thanks to a bad photographer, and overall, they themselves didn't make anything better as a model. So.. Did you really call yourself a MODEL?!?!

If you really aspire to be a model, and you think you can, and you're willing to work hard and improve, then nothing in this post should affect you okay =) In fact, jiayou! I'm talking about the really talentless and yet think the world of themselves and label themselves as "MODEL" ones. Lolol.

Their poses forever super trynabe the top model poses. And it's just soooo funny when they do it!!!!! Especially when they think they damn chio!!! Omg. I know i sound really childish to be mocking at them but don't worry, they are not affected one, they will just say i'm jealous. Lolol.

Okay lah, don't say them already.

Say their poses.

I LOVE how they raise up their hands and sometimes look like they are smelling their armpits.

I LOVE how they diao (stare fiercely at) the camera in every picture. Like how chao ah lian will.

I LOVE how they always arch their backs to do add high-fashion value.

I LOVE how they always peep from a corner of the wall lol.

I LOVE how they always like to do crawling/ walking towards-you motion. 很有动力 hahaha.

So i try to mimick them mimicking top models!!! BUT, somehow i look okay =(

Only some of the pictures turn out as trashy as i'd like it to =( #humblebrag

Alright, PICTURES time.

Baby models xmms, please watch and learn how to werk it. Becox those uncles with DSLRs will highly likely request these poses. I've compiled the top favourite poses for you.

On the Bed/ Sofa/ Couch/ Chair/ Toilet seat

Lie down and look sensual. Usually they will do this in a hotel room de bed with you. No biggie right? Since you already agree to go shoot in a hotel room with a few guys =)

ROAR. One of the more popular poses. On-four. Start training your back and waist strength now. This pose is gonna keep them going for a long time.

The "Open but close your legs" pose. 坐不要坐好好. I do not understand. But just learn it anyway.

Oh, MY wall. Mine.

Ooh. My favourite. Lean back, raise your arm and touch the wall sensually. Make love to it. I added my own touch at the shoulder. Lol. Hope it works out good! If you don't find this appealing enough, i'd suggest you put both hands on the wall, and sing Spider man~ Spider man~

"I see you..... No i have no idea what i'm doing with the corner of the wall"

"Oh wall! You sho cute and sexy!"

One more of the favourite is arch, back-facing and lean on the wall and touch your knee.

They also love it when you do a "chicken wing" with your elbows out with hands on the waist, while same time, arching your back and leaning against the wall. What do you mean it looks like i am having a stomache and needs the toilet?!

They will request for you to to back-face, face-face, side-face, handstand against even, on the wall.

So long as there's a wall, these uncles with DSLRs will love to explore the possibilities of getting you and himself a good picture for both your portfolios =)

"No, really. Where is the toilet. I buay tahan liao" Lololol.

Studio (Glamor)/ Outdoor shoot

This is where you really have to work with nothing/ with surrounding respectively. Most of it you have to play with your hands and your body. So good luck. Have fun. Here are some of the poses.

This pose cannot get more awkward than it looks. But everyone loves it. So werk it. Give them the "FORWARD" feel. Yes, make them anticipate the impending moment. What i'm talking about? I don't know ^.^ It only reminds me of how Kim Ah Joong posed in the recording studio to werk it.

Get ready some yokoyoko. Anything arched like this... Or

Like this, would be considered high fashion and confident! =D So, BEND.

This is my favourite! The "Smell Armpit" pose =D

Although it doesn't look like it, but what i'm trying to say is..

Don't go get photographed by a few uncles in a hotel room. I know they probably won't dare do anything to you. But WHAT IF, they do? What if before you enter the hotel room, they already put a pinhole camera in the toilet where you're supposed to change? So many whatifs if you think about it.

If you want your portfolio done up proper then look for decent photographers. Or go to a reputable agency who can assign a okay photographer to shoot you. Good luck on that!

Also, don't call yourself a model if your pictures are ... I don't know. You'd know when you grow older. Lolol. Like how i look at my own pictures back then. I really is maozhan (hair stand).

And only do what you're comfortable with. Whatever you're not, learn how to say NO.

When i see news of girls talking about how certain lewd photographer told them to take off their bikinis/ shave their pubic hair/ go topless when it's supposed to be just a lingerie shoot, i do think these girls are to be responsible too. Why can't they speak up for themselves or walk away?

Of course the lewd photographers are better off dead. But if we can't get rid of them, i think the least we can do is to stop ourselves from becoming their victims. Right or not?

Okay i wish you good luck. And all the above poses are totally werkable. It's just a matter of who's doing it. Lol. I don't foresee any problems with Caucasians/ Eurasians/ really oriental-looking models doing it. But if you're just werking a pretty face, maybe you can werk confidence and your smile and not werk top model edgy poses/ expressions. Lolol. Good luck!

Here's an accidental snapshot of me sneezing halfway through posing. LOL. No edit. Lol.

QWeekly - Room 403

A picture of Dotty looking funny with Buzz to start the post! Hahaha. Look at Dotty's face.

Went for some Hi-Tea buffet with Jialing and Dotty at Goodwood Park Hotel. 

Food was alright! I actually really love a few of the items thou the selection was pretty small.

One thing.. I cannot, cannot, cannot tolerate is.. Being unable to find someone when i need service. I had to try so hard to get someone to look at us and bring us some water. I really don't wanna start talking about how inattentive the staff were that day but yeah, do better, they have to do better.

If i run a restaurant/ cafe, FIRST freaking thing is i'd have a jug for each table! Like how they serve Chinese tea in restaurant, very difficult meh. It'd make their service staff run around lesser. And i don't feel thirsty and i don't bother to bother their service staff. It'd make everyone happy =D

Love the prawn one!!! And the melon's super sweet!!! Also love the scones!!! =DDD

Missy Jayelle my roomie back in Hong Kong days <3

Rabbits eating vegetables and tomatoes and whatnots.

Mother of all rabbits, Dorothy ^.^

3rd plate for me. Of what i tried and love. Lol. Jialing and Dotty keep raving about the foie gras.

Dorothy and me. I got some makeup on that day okay! Quite rare. Lol.

Fruit tarts, not bad but everything's so sour =S The circular mini donut look-alike is some kind of chestnut thing, SUPER DUPER YUMS. Aloe Vera Panna Cotta was okayish.

This caramel pudding thing, love. Mango cake, LOVE!

Awww.. Jialing look so cute here ^.^

Us camhoring in the toilet hahahaha. Like some kind of tradition. HAHA.

Toilet camho not enough, we accompany Dotty to comm center to camho more while waiting.

Let's play a game! No prize one thou. Lolol.

Can you guess which eye, nose and mouth belongs to which of us three?! =DDD

Only changed colour treatment and put in numbers.

Leave me a comment like this!

Example:

Dotty: 1, 3, 1

Jayelle: 3, 1, 2

QiuQiu: 2, 2, 3

Hahaha. It'd be so fun!!! Can you all guess which are my features not!

Okay lah, if there's more than 20 incorrect answers, i'd take it as it's a pretty tough challenge and i'd give a set of brand new Hello Kitty items (lipgloss, card holder, phone casing, lipbalm, computer mouse and a lot more!) to one winner lol. If you're keen to win please leave your Twitter nick/ email!

Yeah i'm really weird, i buy A LOT of small small Hello Kitty items but i'd never use them =(( I  buy them to keep and to give to my friends/ sisters. Cox they are sho cuteeeeeee!

And i don't bring anything Hello Kitty out cox supposedly anything mouse/ rat is my lucky charm, and if you think about it, Hello Kitty is a cat and cat is no good for rats so..

But okay lah i also is love Mickey Mouse/ Minnie Mouse lah so that's okay. So my keychain is Mickey Mouse one. My handphone strap is also a mouse.

But it's a Hello Kitty in a mouse suit ^.^V

Like this

So i guess this is fine? =D It's mostly a mouse! Lolol. Forcing it.

Things that Jialing bought me!!! WHY SHE SO LOVE ME, please explain. Lolol.

And Dotty bought me the box of 白色恋人 white chocolate cookies and they were both like "You never heard of this before?!" YEAH I NEVER. Air stewardess see the world, haolian lah. Lolol.

And i super super appreciate when people get me snacks and tidbits cox it's the one gift that will always make me happy and the only thing i'd ALWAYS accept with no complaint. Lolol.

Please look at the white peach gummies and Meiji strawberry marshmallow chocolate and the strawberry cornflake Jialing got for me. I LOVE LAH!!!!!!

And there's also Knopper which she say is better than Hanuta *skeptical face* I tried! It's yums but Hanuta more love! Lolol. And she got me these wayyyy before the Nutella dip cookie stick was available in town but i couldn't make it to meet them the other time.

My friends are so cool ^.^ And loving. And nice. And encouraging. And sweet.

I also don't know what good deeds i've done in my past life. Everyone around me is so nice to me.

Maybe i pick the right people to hang out with. Right = Positive.

Maybe they give me a chance to be their friend becox i am the right one too.

Omg this is awesome. Life works out so awesome. THANK YOU!!!

And all i have to do is to believe in the goodness of what i want. And it'd be given to me.

I wish you think more good nice thoughts too =)

Happy ForeverYoung Birthday, Yutaki!

Yes it's me and a hugeass picture of my face to kick start the post! =D

Was at Yutaki's birthday party a few days back and i must say it's sooooo fun and enjoyable!!!

Birthday boy brought along his ringlight for everyone to camwhore and took lotsa pictures of us all and of us individually!!! It's like a massive camwhoring session for all of us O.O

Can't wait for him to photoshop the pictures!!! He confirm stressed. So many vain bloggers (Xiaxue, Sophie, Miyake, Kaykay, Eric) there and he has to make us look better than we already do.. LOL.

I personally think it's easy to make a less good-looking person look "WOAH!" after photoshop. But it's quite hard to make people go WOAH when you photoshop good looking people.

Thou i still believe Yutaki can make all of us go WOAH when we see the photoshopped version of us in his post, which, i supposed you guys can get to see like months down the road LOLOL.

He's very nice please! It's HIS birthday party, yet he invited so many of us over and help us snap nice pictures and bring ringlight and lotsa hats (supposed to be a hat party too!) and props etc.

Thank you Yutaki!!! Glad to meet you like yearsss ago when we were all vegetable birds in the blog scene. Lol. I can't wait to see the yaogui picture of me and Eric at the food table. LOL.

The theme is Vintage Floral. I am not sure if it means Vintage OR Floral or Vintage AND Floral.

Food that night was catered by Perkies!!! I'd love to share more about them soon!!!

For now, i'd just let you know, i FREAKING LOVE THEIR CORN PUPPIES!!!!!! It's nothing like the usual corn dogs!!! Also i love their onion rings!!! Major love the batter they used and the onion inside is sweet and melty one, defug. Also i especially love their Fizzy Lychee drink!!! Inside got some magic balls that will burst with lychee flavour one!!!

OMG i said i'd just share a few but it's not enough! I also really enjoyed all the different sauces they provide with the different food items!!! Thai chili sauce was the best and Tomasturd also very yums!

Also the people from Perkies were very helpful, quick-moving when setting up and very friendly. So i'd have them cater for my birthday celebration with my family too!!! I'm 100% sure they'd love =D

Very nice of them to prepare those door gifts and goodie boxes for Yutaki's and his guests!

The dress i bought from TOPSHOP for $49 =OOOO Please gimmie a round of applause!!! It's vintage PLUS floral! Lolol. Shucks, didn't get to snap a full picture of it!
