Love Advance Christmas

Yes, Christmas is around the corner, and so does New Year. This year definitely passed by really fast. My 21 bday celebration is over and i am now a young adult. Mochi(my son) is turning 2 months old soon! This year, i am so thankful for being blessed by knowing really good friends in my new university life, and especially recieving and sending endless loves for my family members.

So what's next for future?

Obviously, more events, salsa and make up! oh, and studies too!.

p.s Thankful to my boyfriend who has always constantly motivate me to move on with confidence. ( i admire his high tolerance).

Speak Good English Campaign.

Everytime when i met a new stranger and he realised that i am from Singapore, the first question that is normally asked is ," Do you guys speak good english?". This can be treated as a curiosity question , or maybe just trying to show that our english speaking reputation has been ruined in that particular area!

I had this experience when i was doing make up for a very beautiful model who came to Singapore the very first time.When we get to chat with each other, she commented," i was quite surprised that you can speak very good english."

Confused, i have asked why comment and she answered," This is because my friends all told me that Singaporeans dont speak good english."

To be honest, I was quite surprise as Singapore has done so much to promote the Speak Good English Campaign, and turn out to be a joke?

Till now, i guess the government has given up hope on us and turn to foreigners. Should we still keep up with the Singlish for the younger generations?

Change

To all the beautiful people in the world, it's time for a change.

i should get a new hairstyle soon!

Nowadays boyfriend has been asking me why i haven't been blogging that much. That made me reflect on how active i was as a blogger in the past. Should i blame on facebook instead?



I have been not feeling well for 2 weeks already! Cough is getting better, now flu came knocking on my door. In fact, it intruded me.




Yesterday, my boyfriend and i watched Harry Potter. This is the very first series i ever watched in the Cinema. To be honest, i am not a big fan of it, but i enjoyed it. Now i am finally understand why so many people love it. The graphic and storyline is very beautiful and all the actors and actresses are so interesting to watch.





Thank You to boyfrined's brother for the tickets. :)

I *Hearts* Make Up

This passion of being a make up artist started all the way when i was doing modelling 2 years ago, when i wasn't provided a make up artist( MUA) for my personal photoshoots. Over the whole certain amount of period of time, i have decided to take up a make up course because i was inspired by the creativity and innovation of the MUAs who have been working with me, like Sha, Fann, etc.

I could still remember during my first photoshoot in Create Talent. I spent about 6000 bucks for my portfolio, which is totally stupid when i think about it.

No assignments given, till i joined another agency.

GIRLS, if you wanna work as a model, do not join this 2 agencies ( IModels, Create Talent).
Why? Because they are under the same boss and people should PAY you not the other way round.

I believe that models must be appreciated and most of the agencies in Singapore is spoiling the fashion market as they only want to earn money.

In addition, there is no such things as "TALENT", who reacted in Car Shows, Giving out Flyers.
And i would like to make it clear that they are not professional models. There are many types of models like face model, body part models, cover shot models, high fashion model, petite models. So girls, if you think that you do not meet the requirement of being a high fashion model, get yourself involve in the fashion industry. It is so much fun doing the background crew work!

Thank you, Victor

This is a gift from my first salsa coach, Victor Chia. Thank you for the gift and i knew that i need Body Shop products to relax. I first took up salsa about 5 months ago at Kovan Community Centre and was quite nervous as it had been about years since i started dancing again. With my boyfriend's encouragement, i decided to take up Salsa; it is very enjoying and sexy! Victor is a very patient trainer;despite he is very strict on styling and details, the experience of dancing salsa is so postive that i have joined my university salsa club; SIM ENSOUL. Right now, i am still taking lessons with him because Victor is so supportive and willing to push me further. Thank you again and I am looking forward to the Salsa Class next week!

Salsa with SOL!

On 23rd September, i attended 2 workshops( Afro Rumba & Salsa Styling) which is being held by world renowned salsa dancer, Sol. He has such a passion for dancing and the way he portray the movements are really beautiful. I really look up to him as a mentor for dance.

After the workshops, SIM salsa club members and i went to Union Square. This is the first time i was there and the people there are really nice and sweet. I only stayed there till about 11.30pm but the good thing is i get to dance with Sol 2 times! If i get to Taipei, will sure look for him and join his classes.

Me and Sol. Picture taken before i made my move.

Short video of Sol and i dancing.

Looking forward to get involve in his workshop again. Really enjoyed my day!

Basic Model Workshop? Give me a break.

Modelling in Singapore can be pain in the a** due to the high competitive rates.
But seriously, do the some of the girls know what they are doing in this industry?
Professional Training School will be holding a basic modelling workshop soon!
Better, it is taught by A Personality Development, Image Trainer ( who is not even a high fashion model/ catwalk trainer).

Best, got to pay for it.

Best of the best, i would suggest that they can be able to qualify as a international model, but not those who just wanna earn fast money.

I am sure if Tyra Banks comes, the perception will be totally different.
In conclusion, i suggest that those girls who got no jobs from any modelling agencies( be it professional or not), dont waste your money.

Times

Miss the old times of waking up early before dawn because of the fresh air and quiet atmosphere. By imagining that almost everyone during this time was sleeping soundly and peacefully, i felt that i am the only human who exist in this scene. As i walked down the stairs, i could smell pancakes, french toast and heard the sizzling sound of frying eggs. Harmornizing of a familiar song came from the kitchen.

he can feel my heart and soul. <3

( just love sentimental stories).

Pink with Love

Mixing with cool colors is such a beauty!

Loads of assignments coming up in school, Got to complete them.

so what do you think of this make up?

Email Sender

I have just finished my English class on my first day of school and right now waiting for my Communication module lecture to start. As i was waiting and doing some reading, i have recieved quite a load of responses for people who are interested to collaborate with me for my make up portfolio. Most of them are photographers.

For your information,
I am currently expanding my make up portfolio on tfcd basis. If you are interested in working with me, feel free to let me know.

My contacts:
http://www.welnamadden,blogspot.com/

This morning, a sender( particular photog, which i shall name as "A") does not seem to understand english. This is how the conversation went . . .

A: Hey, i have seen your ad in clubsnap and i am interested to work with you.
- yea, she is writing about herself bla bla bla, and then she charged me.
Wondering does she read my post "tfcd basis" on clubsnap?
And she did not clarify whether it is model or make up port.

Me: Hi, thanks for the interest. ( with the confused thoughts on which port she is refering to)

A: Hey. So would u like to me help you take photos?
- seriously, i dont think she got what i mean.

Me:Sorry got to clarify this, i am working with you as a model or make up artist?

A: Photographer ( Like Duh. okay i shall conclude, she is dumb).

People read and understand what they are reading. She doesnt!

Anyway, this is just from my thoughts which triggered few secs ago.

Make Up Trial ( leapord prints)

Got my SIM student card. The picture was taken horribly. Everyone came back from orientation camp with 5 or less hours of rest. Still wondering, what did they do to our passport photos?

I am so bored today! Hence, decided to try out leapord prints on the eyes. This is the first time of my trial.

Only get to try out one side of my face, but turns out quite similar. Loads of room for improvement. What do you think?

New Adorable Friends.

Good news! I am now officially the student of SIM ( University of Buffalo). The orientation was such an enjoyable experience and the people who i met are very awesome!
Such a pity that i couldnt take more photos due to the activities which were very packed during last night. But i got to share with you the awesome people who i have met.

Pictures were taken before we were ready to be back in SIM.

Maya. She is really cool and very well to get along. Love her attitude and character.

From what i know, she is a dancer too.

Hope that her sprain ankle will recover.

Tobias. A senior from University of Buffalo. This is the first time he is in Singapore for his final year. Will be here for 1 semester. Loads of fun and laughter, especially the BREAK-FAST joke.

Cherry. Very cheerful lady. Her name is really special and always smiling.

Thalia. She is from Indonesia. We share loads of common interests and can be able to talk about anything under the sun( and moon). Really lovable. And i cant wait to join her for class!

Min jie. A former student from Republic Polytechnic too! We were studying the different course, hence never had a chance to know each other in the past. And we got really close with Thalia too!

This is the symbol of our group, the BLUE ranger. love the design because i have a collection of tribal items. hooray for UB students!

Surprise cookie given from Derrick and Grace, who are our group leaders.
Thank you guys for being so active and can be able to bring the whole team together. Kudos to OG10!

Looking forward to see everyone on first day of class!

Heart.

Time has passed so fast and September is coming. I will be 21 soon.
Cannot wait for my university to commence.
Cannot wait to celebrate my adulthood on my bday party.
Life has been good. Shall not complain because i take it as an experience.
Yes, shit happens at times. But depends on how you yourself take it.

Wondering what my friends are busy with now. Work, Play, and Work..maybe gaming?
I love to attend this year's party because most of my friends have turned 21, and just love to share about the past. Of course, how can i not forget about my life which filled with beauty, art and music.

People come and go. I am sure to realise of that for a long time. be sure to treasure and love the ones who are worth of you. My heart goes out to all my friends who have been so awesome. And those who made use of me, i am sure you have no life. Stepping into work force can be able to give you whole loads of shit for you to face. So i shall let real life torture you guys.

Love ya'll

Infinity

So glad to realise that love is such a beautiful thing to experience. Not for a while, but my whole life time.

A few years ago and now, i was always told," Never put your heart 100% in a relationship, then you wont suffer the loss." I believe that if both of the partners are truthful and can be able to communicate well, there is no need to hide your feelings from each other. In fact, letting your partner know about how you feel can be able to improve your relationship and understand each other a whole lot better.

Being able to have a partner like you makes me feel blessed.

Kudos to Performing Arts!

24th July 2010

I was informed by my very good friend, Brandon that Ngee Ann Polytechinic would be holding a Performing Arts event at lib@esplanade. As a very active person who loves goodies & arts, i went to give him my greatest support by spending around 5 hours there. Loads of games and activities are planned by the organisers solely by NP.

Music. Dance. Arts. love'em.

Brandon and Me. As usual, i love his haircut. And we are going to make full use of the cash vouchers which we got for one of the most recognised hair salon, Ooosh! Excited! oh, and couldnt forget about Soup Spoon.

These are the awesome sponsers who made the goodie bags so special. And i won 15bucks of cash vouchers to spend at SCAPE!.

Had my brunch at the esplanade cafe. I love the chicken fillet sandwich with cranberry! love the flavour!

This is the passport for the games. I named it " Bible to Goodies"


There were 4 sections of the games i must complete. Once completed, i will get my goodie bag!

1.) Music
I got to pick up an album, listen to the section of the music and guess the title of the songs.
Apprently, among the 9 albums, i only know Maria Carey, Chris Daughtry, Ryan Cabera and Michael Buble. Apparently, i feel that Chris's album is best because i have downloaded all thier songs. And Brandon guess correctly!

2.)Dance
I have to watch a video of a lady dancing and just copy her moves. So poor Brandon, i got to drag him along. wahahaha.
The dance section is easy. Damn easy for both of us.
Maybe i should suggest them to do Salsa. ROFL

3.)Theatre

OH, this is my favourite section! Because i got to choose my favourite script " Toy Story" and played it out. I become Woody, and Brandon is Buzz. Soon, there were too many characters appearing, we switched to "Beauty and the Beast".

of course, i am the beauty and he is the beast.

It was so much fun. Love to be in character.

4.)Film
We were blindfolded and being led by 2 ladies into a movie screening room. A film will be played and we have to guess the scene and who are the characters. Turned out the film is " Lord of the Rings". To be honest, i dont even watch it once. But one of them got it right.

Finally i got all 4 stations stamped, time for my goodie bag! yippe!


PERFORMANCES.

I miss being a percussionist during the RP days.

A really good singer with such a sweet voice; Zahirah. Check out her fb/twitter! Just type her name and you got to listen her beautiful works!

Band: SavingSomeone

Love the energy they gave. The vocalist has a unique voice and the rest of the bands can be able to blend in very well with thier solo talents!

Band: Deputy Siren.

i love the vocalist because her high notes are just right in ears, not too harsh. And i love the "drums" which they are playing. I forgot the name of it, but with that, it brings up the whole band together.

One of the most unforgettable experience which i had. Adelyn Koh, 8 years old and visually impared pianist. A question was asked to her and that touch me a lot.

Qns: what is the first thing you wanna see if you regain your eyesight.

Ans: Myself, because I wanna see how i look like.

Her passion and talent for music has really pushed me further to work even harder because i believe that anyone can make a difference.

Alaric Tay was invited to this event as a celebrity guest. Actually i got to be involve in the current show NOOSE at about 2010. The story is about National Day and i got to be interviewed by him. He is a really inspirational guy and i am really comfortable filming with him even for 5 mins! Really looking forward to his upcoming projects and work with him.

This is really interesting.

The person who is blindfolded has to follow the instructions of thier friends and draw out the given picture. And the results are super fun.

JOSHUA SIMON. Apologies that i really dont recognise him. But i was introduced by Brandon when i was asking about him. When i first listen to his voice, i love the way he twist his tone and melodies. Then i realise that he is really well-known for his creativity and talent!

Brandon and his friend. Omg, i love her hair. SHAVE one side! Just like Adam Lambert! wee~!

(as you can see, from my (!), i enjoyed the event super much!)

Brandon and Josua. They knew each other for a long time already.

So i decided to ask him to take a picture with me. Very honoured.

I decided to end this post with this art pieces which i spotted when i left Esplanade. Life is full of memories. Your eyes are just like a CAMERA. I believe that you can have a choice whether to click ans save the memory down, or just delete it(but with trials left behind). Happiness is in everyone's hand. And we should be responsible for our own actions and beliefs. Don't give up in your love and passion even though people will talk sh*t about you.

Believe in it and OWN it.

Lost 2 kg in 3 days.

Hey there People!

After my posting that i have lost 2 kg just in 3 days, loads of my friends were asking me how did i actually do that. Hence, i have decided to share with you guys some simple ways to lose those fats, but maintain your body shape healthily.

1.) BREAKFAST

I believe that eating a full breakfast is super important due to the lack of nutrients after you have woke up. Nope, a cup of coffee is not enough. No worries about the calories which you are going to take, but of course there is a limit. After you have woke up, your body will be urging to absorb all the nutritions from the food. Hence, Eat more during breakfast. In addition, you dont have to eat that much during lunch time.

Note: Try wheat/oat meal. Very healthy choice for bread/Pasta.

2.) Drink WATER!

Yes, Water is very very important. Your body is estimated to be about 60 to 70 percent water. Blood is mostly water, and your muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. Your body needs water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all your organs. Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs.

It may be difficult to drink enough water on a busy day. Be sure you have water handy at all times by keeping a bottle for water with you when you are working, traveling, or exercising. If you get bored with plain water like me, add a bit of lemon or lime for a touch of flavor. There are some brands of flavored water available, but watch for extra calories.

3.) Orange Juicy!

We all know that orange contains vitamin C. And i prefer to be freshly squeezed rather than packages as they might have contain sugar/flavorings.

Before meals, you can also have an apple first so that you will not consume too much. Likewise, if you prefer to drink, drink some juice to fill you up first!

4.) STRETCHi did stretching both day and night time because this can be able to activate the body wont feel stiff after working or waking up. After stretching, yoru body will be more flexible and just in case you did some harsh work, it can prevent you from hurting yourself even if you dont even know it. With stretching, you can be able to do so many things and hence, more active lifestyle = fitter body.

5.) Crunches

This is a must-do before i go to bed. Normally i did about 30-40 times per night.

This can be able to tone up my stomach area and you can be able to sleep really well because you should be super shag after the crunches. And when you wake up the next morning, you will be hungry, and thats why you need the BREAKFAST again.

Additional: I took up Muay Thai and Salsa Class to aid in my disipline to exercise more. Join some of this activity and become actitve in your lifestyle.

Better you get to eat what you love, and still tone up your body while losing fats.

Enjoy!
