Exams over!

Not really...no exams this sem. But the feeling is like exams are over.

Just finished the photoshoot yesterday. I felt such a sense of relief that I went home to play Guitar Hero III and also surprisingly had the energy to last past 1 am. Wanted to go online and blog, but was eventually too tired.

Anyway, I'm gonna eat anything this week, and not be bothered by bedtime curfew. Wahahaha. Not gonna care about waistline or dark circles.

However, back at work today, and realise, sigh...there's much to face. Which kinda dampen the good spirits. Why so much to do?! Why so difficult to solve?!

Photoshoot went well. Posing wasn't as difficult, since the photographer gave instructions most of the time. MUA was also very good and helpful. Otherwise, I'm quite helpless...alot of things don't know how to do.

For outdoor shoots, we had a few options, which all sounded very good to me. In the end, we went to 4 locations. Botanic Gardens, Alexandra area for the colonial house, Shenton way for roadside shots, and Sentosa for the sand, sea and bridge. My favourite location was the white house at Alexandra area. I like my photographer, she kept going for the artistic shots, playing with natural light and silouettes, and she never scold me for being stiff.

Some specific thanksgivings:

• For strangers we managed to work well with.


• For photographer to receive new lens today, and probably why she more motivated to do different things.


• For the weather to hold. Its been pouring almost everyday. And like the other days, yesterday also threatened to pour. But the most damage we suffered was drizzling at one location, otherwise, it was all clear, and not too sunny.


• We had fun and enjoyed the process...even though there was much preparation and hard work before that.


• Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Thinking of junk food

It's a pretty packed week, both at work and off-work. But, just cleared one major deadline, so can afford to slow things down a little.

Yesterday was Fitting & Trial Make-up Day. It had to coincide with an important deadline at work. Half hour before the appointment with the bridal studio, I was still in office. On my way to the studio I was actually in a pretty bad mood, had the urge to release the bad mood on poor HS, but decided to pray and release my anger and frustration to God. Well, by God's grace, I arrived at the bridal studio on time, and all the bad mood just kinda disappeared. In retrospect, God still delivered me, 'cuz the work deadline was cleared within a short, intensive timeframe, and with much help from other colleagues. Anyway, it's over, so it's two down, three more to go for this year.

The trial make-up was quite short and sweet. Going for the more natural look, though the MUA spent alot of time on my eyes. Layers and layers of eye make-up. But, it's not bad lah. Never did much eye make-up on my own. Now contemplating eyelash perming....kekeke.

The fitting also went quite well. I fit into all the gowns except the EG. I fit into that as well, only, i can't really move, for fear that one bigger step would tear the gown. But, one thing for sure, (tight) fitting gowns look much better on a person. Otherwise, I'm quite glad the 2-3x/ week gym sessions proved beneficial....only....can't control where u lose the inches from :(

HS also picked out his suits. Overall, I think he got pretty good selections. Btw, he's also gotten some khaki-brown highlights on his hair, which I think looks good on him. I tried to persuade him to colour his whole hair brown the next round, but he politely said no.

Anyway, this run-up to the photoshoot has been quite tiring. There is alot of shopping to do, alot of grooming to do, alot of disciplines to keep. I'm so sick of being watchful of my diet. I want to eat bangers and mash after the photoshoot!! I want to keep late nights!! I want to forget about the 3-step face regime before bedtime!! I want to shop for things I want to buy, rather than I have to buy!!

Okay, enough complaining. It's actually a good chance to pamper and take care of myself, which I otherwise would probably not do. I should be glad. I am glad.

Now counting the hours and minutes to the Worship Celebration with Planetshakers and Tim Hughes. I've brought my flats along, so that I can jump jump. How to jump with heels...that I don't know.
