A Quickie Update

How today unfolded.

7am – MANDAI Orchid Garden. Do you know where that is? My goodness. Can you imagine that the cab fare cost me 25 bucks! I could have taken a train, but that would have meant I needed to wake at 5.30 in the morning! Such an ungodly hour. Upon reaching, I felt cheated because the shoot was due to start at 9.30! I could have done my make up at the location instead of losing precious sleep just to smear gunk on my face.

We were guests for a garden wedding solemnisation. There were only 10 guests and truth be told, I didnt know who the bride and groom were. We were total strangers. On top of that, I didnt know anyone on the guest list either! Hahaha.

It wasnt a REAL wedding see. We were gathered there for a Sony HandyCam video shoot, something like a TVC to be aired in Arabic countries. Haha. The ten of us played wedding guests decked out in modest, conservative and non-revealing clothes. Whilst silently melting underneath our clothes in the hot, humid weather, we had to pretend to be happy at the sight of the newly wed “couple”.

The set up.


Love the pretty flowers!

Guests. International guests more specifically.

The bride and groom doing their first wedding dance as a couple. Awwww.
I LOVE the bride’s dress! It’s so pretty! Oh she had awesome shoes too. Wo0t!

And of course, the camera crew!

The shoot was over in a jiffy and I scooted down to town.

1pm – casual wear fitting for MSU.

This was what I tried on and took a fancy to. Cute isnt it. But I decided to go with something else eventually! I saw the price tag for the outfit I chose, and got quite a heart attack. 399 bucks! Wo0o0o0ot! Haha. We’re decked out in branded yo!

3pm – sponsored facial by Dermalogica

The facial was good and very relaxing. So much so, that I may have dozed off lightly somewhere along the way. It lasted an hour and comprised cleansing, toning, a hydrating mask and neck and shoulder massage. Haha, I tell you, the best part is the massage! My shoulders were aching from the heavy load of my bag and the therapist soothed them by gently pressing away the kinks. Ahhh.. Now I wanna go for a full body massage.

4.45pm – gown fitting for finals

My new gown is GORGEOUS! Specially designed by DeDe and Jade, each girl got a specially customised gown that’s either black/red or black/gold. Gosh! THEY ARE AMAZING! My gown costs a whooping $1500 and although I took a picture of my spectacular gown, I WILL KEEP YOU ALL IN SUSPENSE! Haha.

Finals schedule is finally out.

Next week. Next week. No TV telecast.

    Hey, Valerie, I think we passed each other today (17th May 08, Sat) at about 6.25 pm when crossing the Bugis Junction to Bugis Street road. You even turned back to say hi to a friend that call out your name if not mistaken.
