packing grief!

I've changed my hair color!
Can you tell the difference?
It's been colored brown on the top, and black on the bottom! Yay!
Subtle changes recently! :(
I said goodbye to my tinsel strands prior to coloring the hair..
Packing is such a pain!
from deciding between which cap to bring...

to everything else as well!
Just look at my heap of clothes!
It's such a mess!

My luggage's neaten up alot since then...and i'll be back on christmas morning!
Korea! Here i come!

twelve + one

The bestie's decided that i'll need feeding every now an then, so he's been dropping lots of treats at my office !
I thought i'll be sweet and write about these to show how appreciative I am!
Yay!
There's cakes from Glace...





and chocolates!





and Macaroons from Twelve + One

They look so pretty sitting in the box!
It took me quite a while before i finally started eating them in office!


Pretty macaroons that i like so much...

"Bring me there! Bring me there!" I said
So brunch on saturday it was!
Love the interior!
So pretty and pink!


Macaroons! Loads and loads of them sitting in the display shelf!
woots!

I ordered myself a cheddar chicken sandwich and Tiramisu! Yums!


and swished my breakfast down with a cuppa Earl grey...
hmmm life without a worry..
lazing and lounging as if i own the place...


a nice nature shot before the rain starts pouring! zzZZzz..

Apparently the name Twelve + one came with a story!
Bakers in the past would be prosecuted if they were ever found to short change their customers off their goods. As a safety precaution, bakers would usually pack thirteen buns or cupcakes or whatever into a package, instead of a dozen, and it's also known as the baker's dozen.

The number thirteen is also known to be associated with bad luck, and therefore the name twelve + one was derived!
Ta Dah!
Learnt something new today, didnt you?

ShangHai Rouge~ The pre and actual event

Arhh, just so to warn you, this is a picture heavy entry!
Finally found time to load up picture to the Shanghai Rouge event!
Pre-event
We took some publicity pictures for the event, and here we go:
Random shot of myself when idling away... using the color accent function of the camera..
heh!
These are the pro pictures taken by Si hui! She's really talented!
Taken in the studio, by shophouse window..

Morning test shot.
Yup you can see the morning grumpy in me...

After studio indoor shoot, we ventured over to Victoria Theatre itself and made use of the authentic grills to facilitate with the shanghai rouge theme!
Add a dash of ciggie, and we have a mafia inspired picture! Yay!
This is actually one of my favourite shots for the day!

With sally!


Nice right?!
Of course the pictures have been treated with Photoshop to enhance that "old school" effect.
Now, let's move on to the actual day of Shanghai Rouge!

Cheong sum aside, my costume for the night was westernised inspired ladies outfit during the Shanghai Tang era.. curled hair, lots of rouge, and the chilli red lipstick! Haha!
I'm amused at how sweet i look, and we all know that i'm far from that in person...
*gush*

My costume!


With Gary!

Posing during performance!
Audrey came to supported me!
With a bouquet of flowers that she hand wrapped for me!
ohhh i love her to bits!
She's a pleasant surprise, because she TOLD ME SHE WOULDN'T be attending the event *pouts*
but she did! Yay! Never knew that she could be THIS sneaky!
Audrey's sneaky accomplice
Adi! He came with chocolates! :D
If it was not for salsa, i would not have gotten myself 2 very good friends in the process.
I'm thankful man!!

Of course not forgetting that i also found my other "sister" cherri...
Who's all dressed up as a Geisha! So cute!!

My favourite doctor!
Edward! He's like my team daddy!
I'll attend team practise and always whine about the pains that i am suffering from muscle strains, or being ill, and he's always there to take a look at me, no matter how stupid my whines can sound at times... (yes, admittedly, i can be quite an attention seeker at times,.)
Hahahah!

Ricky!
He's the first bugger that i've salsa-ed on stage with, i must admit that we've come a long way..
Iyin! So cute!
I'm glad to see here there all dressed up!
This girl seriously gives me a run for my money when it comes to being hyper, and you thought i was bad... hahha! wait til you meet her!
Lalal!

a more glam picture of the both of us!

Of course what's a salsa performance without a very important person, and she's no other than my sister! Yay!

There's like waaaaay lots of pictures that i'll love to post up..but i think it's going to be boring reading about, so i'll start loading the crappy and naughty ones!

Violent daphne! Yay!



Da peeking at my skirt! Naughty!
John "sweeping" me off my feet!

Victor all dressed up as a Japanese soldier!
And i was trying to look like i was swooning!

Then i got bored of my costume, and changed into the Cheong sum..

Dunno what's with Tze yi's expression, but he's supposed to look as if he's damn happy to have 2 girls in his arms! Hahaha

The Lee sisters!

in our usual faces

and a random group shot of the En Motion crews and performancers
and i'm beaming from cheek to cheek in the studio after finally being done with all the packing, cleaning and moving of stuff from Victoria theatre to the studio!

The End!
