Leading the life of the normal..

Well as usual, whenever Daphne takes an awfully long time to update, it's probably because she lacks the spare time and energy to hang around the computer to gather up her thoughts and to load up pictures.

The past few weeks that i've disappeared has been rather fulfilling, as i progress on with work - my actual full time job (mind you), as a visual merchandiser or project management executive, whichever title the boss would like to bestow me with.
While life as a "showgirl" has taken a backseat for now, as i take it more as a hobby, rather than a source of income to substantiate my incessant shoppings, and lead the life of a spoilt, lazy brat. I know that it is actually rather tough to envision Daphne in a proper real job and all, but is that really that surprising?
Hahaha.

Major career updates and changes aside, I am finally starting to live my weekends like how most humans do, which is to sit around, chill out and enjoy the company of old friends, or to lie in bed and sleep my entire weekend away! Gone were the days where i will actually be bogged down by events related work, and only be able to rest on Mondays and Tuesdays!
As much as i miss my slack and carefree lifestyle as a "showgirl", i do miss being able to spend my weekends hanging around with friends and socialise the way "normal" people do.

Blissful weekend!

Headed over to the Singapore International Salsa Festival (SISF) 2008 that was held over at Down town East during the long Deepavali Weekend.
I spent the entire weekend dancing nonstop, and went home each night with aching feet and body! Still i had good fun, and enjoyed myself through and through!
First of first, we have pictures of the stage backdrop, and i was fooling around with my Lomo sparkle lens, creating the cross sparkle effects on the lights!



Pictures of Da in her performance costume! She looks like a crazy deranged dollie in her dollie colored costume, crazy hair, and insane cute fake lashes that has a miniscule pearl sticking out at the ends of every strand of lash, and not forgetting her scary chilli red lipstick!



Pictures with the SIM people - such a measely count of us, because the rest were mostly mobbed with exams! Good news to the RMIT people, SISF 2009 will be held in August, instead of October! Woots!
Left to Right, Adi, Victor, Daphne, and cute Cherri!
With My sweet little fake sister, Cherri!
My crazy real sister, and her favourite *insert cheeseburger* face

Here we go, a saner picture moment with the sister..

Aha! Dancing with Wilson! I think i have really manly looking shoulders by the looks of this random candid shot that was taken by Victor! Haha.



At the end of the festival on Sunday night, i finally remembered to take picture with some of the international performers and instructors like...
the hot chicks from Venezula...
Kaytee from India! (Til now it still baffles me why Kaytee doesn't look Indian)

The rest of the pictures are still stuck in various cameras, and til then, lala!
