Art Direction: me
Post processing: me

Hanging out with Michelle love at Sentosa one day and lucky I decided to bring my DSLR along. Hey waddaya know! Sudden inspiration and fantastic sunlight led to this awesome shot.

Looks like something out of Final Fantasy. Maybe I should photoshop a sword in my hands. Haha.

Short note: Yasmin Ahmad, who was the mastermind behind the MCYS: Family TVC, has passed on at the age of 51. Rest in Peace.

I was never really one to do a good “About Me”. If you asked me to describe myself, I wouldnt know where to start. I mean if I started with the boring things no one would bother reading on, while if I started to rattle about how I enjoy exciting things and seeking adventures and what nots, labels would quickly emerge.

Partly the reason why I removed the “About the Author” page and am still in the process of trying to write a decent yet coherent profile about myself reflected through the blog.

That being said, I sorta always wondered how numbers reflect a person’s true personality.

Make sense of this.

24179511320074110101425

Care to hazard a guess? Highlight to see the answer.

I’m 24, standing at 179cm tall or in inches it’s 5’11″. I’ve taken part is 3 pageants so far the first one being in 2007. I come from a family of 4 with 1 younger brother. Last I checked, everyone in my family has 10 fingers and 10 toes. I graduated from school 1 year ago after spending 4 years on the campus of NUS. To keep myself fit, I run 2 times a week. Each time clocking almost 5km around my neighbourhood.

Perhaps the numbers on Miss Earth Singapore’s website will make more sense.

They finally updated the contestant page on the website after our photoshoot. I obviously was curious to see which of the many photos they chose to showcase to the world.

Here’s my profile.

I wouldnt say the photos are TOOOOO bad. But I do wished they had actually taken the time to post-process the photos for all the girls. Thus making the photos look that little bit more professional.

Although I know they arent going to use the photos I post-processed, here’s how I think they could have looked like. All I did was change the colours.


Not exactly my favourite shot but they put it as the first one.


I like this one better. Curious to know which whitening products I use?
Photoshop CS4. Suitable for all skin types with instant results.


Not bad. Made the picture brighter and upped the contrast.


My favourite out of the 4 although I like it much better brighter. What do you think?

But I think my all time favourite picture from the website is Michie’s jumping shot.

It is absolutely beautiful. Beautiful expression, great body lines. I love it.

Short note: Maybe next time I shouldnt put so much noise into the pictures. Pffft.

So says Pumkpin.

She’s naked san clothes, so obviously she’s flashing to the whole world.

What about you? Did you FLASH?

These people did.

And so did this group!

With the Nuffnang Flashmob that is.

An insane number of people turned up at the field next to the Singapore Visitor Center to be part of the first ever Singapore flashmob!

They were also there to see and follow one of their favourite bloggers.

Xiaxue with PK and her super chio camera and awesome Blackberry which I half wanted to steal and runaway with. Hahaha.

Sheylara looking sweet as always.

Ice Angel

Thy-Dowager (with her entourage)

And Jessica aka underage-girl whose picture I couldnt find on the flickr set.

Because we were creating history, a huge number of cameras also turned up to record this momentous event.

Including this huge ass video camera held by Jayden.

Everyone was supposed to be dressed in their PJs but had to first come in a disguise before we went “undercover” as briefed by Ming and Wennie.

At 6pm, the action happened. It was over in a jiffy because well, it IS a flash mob. The mob had to “silent dance” outside Heeren and then disperse. We definitely drew the curious stares of on-lookers and passersby especially when Xiaxue walked through the crowd (she’s too famous! haha) and the theatre peeps turned up pillow fighting.

These are the REAL people in their PJs.

But you must be curious as to what the top bloggers wore for the silent dance. Because the dance went on for a minute or so before we were told to stop and disperse to our “hiding spots”, we returned to our spots in PJs. I now take you on a brief tour of what the other bloggers wore.

Girls in sexy/pretty lingerie.

Those who sleep in their boyfriend’s shirts.

The casual, comfy and also branded (read: Juicy Couture) crew. Got shorts la! They’re called SHORTS for a reason.

What about Jessica? She was disguised as a power office lady in a smart blazer and black heels, but what lay beyond that disguise? I pry under her coat to reveal….

A hot sexy leopard print lingerie showing off her assets! OoooOooOooo….

No wonder that photographer guy was stalking her. Haha. He’s known in industry circles to be the “ham sup” photographer who goes around to events with girls, taking pictures of them for his own “portfolio”.

But getting back on track, you must also be wondering why were we silently dancing in the middle of town.

It’s because we’re….


ON THE WAY TO THE SINGAPORE RIVER FESTIVAL!

What about you?

If you werent there, here’s who and what else you missed.


I was holding PK and cam-whoring with her when Andy came up and wanted a picture of/with her. But because he was scared of holding PK, I had to hold her and he just stood next to us. Hahaha.


But he’s not scared of Stitch. Haha.


With Xiaxue as we were waiting. She’s pretty without photoshop too!


Making grumpy faces because the weather is too darn hot!!

I also met some of my blog readers and made new acquaintances.


Hpility who always nangs my posts.


Sweet Annabel (oh dear, I hope that’s her name cause it slips my mind now) whose shoes broke and she walked barefooted in Orchard. Haha. So cute.
