Nail Wraps

Wow, this is my first time blogging from phone! That's great cos I have a little baby and every time I open my laptop he magically wakes up. He is sleeping beside me now.. Hope till I finish this entry.

So well, have you ever tried nail wraps? I think everyone should! I tried Sephora ones before but they were rather expensive (rm30 ++). I decided then they were for me quite worth it as I love beautiful nails but dread going to nail spas cos I hate waiting. I have this strong 'I'm wasting hours of my life' feeling.

RM8.90 for a pack of 12 sizes

This is not my first time so I'm quite confident on handling the nail wraps. Firstly, although it may look foolproof please read the instructions found on your nail wrap packaging. However it's usually just choose the size, stick it on and tear off the edges.

Place the rounded end on the inside

The nail wrap I'm using us only rm8.90. Even from the touch of it I can tell its inferior to Sephora ones. It's very thick like cellophane tape n the sticker doesn't seem too strong at all. When you fold it over your nail it's pretty rough and hard to tear it out perfectly.

Stick it on and fold it back before tearing it off

I manage to do all nails.. Now the test would be whether the wrap will last. I'd be quite surprised if it doesn't come out in the shower. Well  going to bed now so I hope that the nail wrap will ' set'.

"I'd be quite surprised if it didn't come off in the shower"

Attempt at creative shot 

So I woke up in the morning and made breakfast. Bacon, eggs and baked beans. The fact that it was scrumptious made it okay that the cheapo nail wraps that got me excited didn't last. Oh and I didn't even hit the shower yet. Just washed dishes only.

Uwaaaaaaa :( Gimme back RM8.90 nao

No wonder the picture on the pack had a shocked expression

2 out of 4 promised on the pack was not met! It is so not Long Wear and it is definitely not Shiny Nails 'ALWAYS!' unless 'always!' means sleep, get up and make breakfast. There goes my short lived excitement. The end.

How NOT to take a selfie

So my friend showed me this video of a young korean girl taking a low angle video of herself and I decided to try it myself. 

I think we should all post of Facebook profile pictures like this. Goodbye high angle birds eye view little cute ant looking selfie. 

After awhile I realised that babies must really love thier mom alot no matter what they look like cos from their angle, this is what thier looking at practically everyday till they can sit up or stand.

A Bimbo Nightmare

Both my husband and I went to bed past 3.30am doing work. I fell asleep shortly after my head hit the pillow. I was rudely awakened by a nightmare…but awoke to my hubby patting me reassuringly. ..

Me: I had a nightmare
Sujen: Yeah I know

You see we are actually preparing to move out of our apartment and I have put aside some clothes to give away…

Me: (in my dream) we were sitting in the hall and this Chinese couple walked into the house and into the room and took my pile of giveaway clothes, heading really quickly back out. The guy was carrying the whole pile and the girl was carrying something scrunched up in her hands. I followed them out to the corridor and demanded to see what the girl took. She then showed me it was my Le An Maxima top! I was so mad!

Me: (keeping calm) I’m sorry you cant have that. That’s not for giving away.
Girl: No. I want it.
Me: No you can’t!

I try to snatch it out of her hand but she just wouldn’t let go! There was a massive tug-of-war.

Me: Give it back now!
Girl: No, It’s mine!
Me: No!!!

I managed to get my beloved top just as my husband came out to break-up the fight.…………

Sujen: What a nightmare ….Me: Hahah..yeah..its actually kinda funny now

Nokia Ovi India TVC

Wow It's been 5 months since my last post. What happen to me all this while you may wonder. Well I kind of semi hung up my model shoes for an office job. Yeah, so my life as a model is, well close to non-existant. I do miss it very much though but you will always reach a split road in your life where you need to decide. I don't come from a rich family nor did I marry up. Ends need to be met. Taking the road less traveled was fun and I would do it again in another life at an earlier age. If you are doing it alone (taking the road less travelled) thats all good. If you have your loved ones, well naturally you would chose the safe path and thats why I detoured.

Anyway, here's something new that I managed to do one of the weekends. Its an ad for Nokia Ovi India. See if you can spot me yea! A friends told me she saw it when she was in Perth on Raj tv. Here in Malaysia we can only see it on youtube. Well at least we have youtube! When I was in China 2 weeks back for work I found out that they don't have youtube or Facebook! WOw!

Here is the TVC, see if you can spot an African lady ;)

Why I don't Facebook Much Anymore

Its really pissing of that some people just love they joy of hurting other people in anyway possible. These sadists get a kick out of making life miserable to those they see as a threat to them. Insecure !

Some low life nut job has been carrying gossip about my Facebook pictures, namely the ones where I was in swim wear (read bikini), it is a freaking beach where that is what everyone wore! Its not like I wore a bikini in the middle of chow kit or to temple or to my niece's birthday party! I would consider them pretty decent actually...its not like I have Playboy Bunny like Size Double D Bazoonkas to talk about!

Whoever you are.... One Day...One fine day.... that 3 fingers that were pointing at you while you were pointing at me, will give you 3 times more of whatever nasty things you said about me. This is a promise.

Oh the Joys of Facebook!

TimeOut I'm Single

Checkout who is on the cover!

This is so exciting, my fourth cover and just in time for my birthday =) Thanks to Omar and Rosheen for making it happen.

So what goes in to making a shoot? And what goes on behind the scenes?

First of all you have a fitting session. The clothing for this shoot was by Nila Palacios Nila's specializes in Latin inspired fashion for all occasions. You can checkout her stuff here

The first dress I tried on was a pink number - didn't seem to complement my skin colour but Im sure it would look nice on someone lighter or someone darker.

This is the second dress - very lady like and suitable for a first date. Nice colour too.

OMG I love the third dress! I think its so cute and something I would so totally wear! At this point Im really hopping they woyld pick this.

Here is Nila helping me pick out something suitable. Isn't she pretty?

Clothes - Check.

The next day I wake up early and make my way to Bukit Damansara. I reach 15 minutes before the call time thanks to my GPS. Ah...the wonders of technology! No more calling and bugging people "Which turning do I take?", but then again depending totally on GPS is kinda risky too cos at the most crucial moment it tends to gleefully announce "Lost Satelite Reception" Bummer. So my advice is if you aren't familiar with a certain place you better check it on maps.google first!

When I arrived there I was greeted by the photographer's help/maid. I walked in and was in awe at the design of the house. Apparently you enter the middle level and there is an upstairs and a downstairs and looking ahead you cant miss a beautiful patio and swimming pool. I said. Silence. "Hello?""HelOoooOOo?" More silence. I had to make a decision. Up? Down? Outside? If I had a studio in my house I assume I would put it downstairs. I follow my instinct. White walls! Yes! Photogrpaher! Yes! I found it. We greet each other then Joss points me to the dressing room. My make up artist is there already. We start almost instantaneously prepping for the shoot.

Shortly after Rosheen and Hyzein arrive. We were then offered coffee. Rosheen fixes me a cup but it gets cold as I choose to have it only after my make up is done. While I get ready Rosheen and Hyzein pick out the outfit and accessories for the shoot. Inside Im thinking "Please please pick dress number 3". They pick dress number 2 LOL.

Rosheen and Hysein busy picking out the outfit and accessories

After picking the outfit and stuff Rosheen proceeds to ask me few questions for the feature interview inside the mag.

Tommy decides to visit us and makes himself comfy

Pre shoot with Rosheen

Yi Kee - the pint sized make up artist

Hrm...Hyzein seems better at it then me

Mucking around on set. CAK!

Looks like we have THE SHOT! Its a WRAP!

I then changed back into the clothes I came in, removed some of the make up and we headed outside for a casual shoot that would be put into the interview part of the mag.

A lil Cam Whoring killed nobody!

Yi Kee enjoying the great outdoors.

Tommy thinks this is his bowl. Id hate to break it to him that it's actually the family swimming pool!

Getting artistic with my N97 mini

Tommy thinks he is a chameleon...again...Id hate to break it to him that he is in fact a doggy. A BIG part Dalmatian part Labrador doggy.

I'm chilling out for our freestyle casual photoshoot.

After we were done with the shoot. We were treated to some awesome home made pumpkin soup. I would have to say it was the best ever Ive had! Complete with cream.

Yi Kee-MUA, Joss De Groot _Photographer n Muah

It was indeed a very nice and smooth photoshoot on every level and very warm company too. I was actually reminded at lunch of the 1Malaysia thingamajig as I looked around. One Chinese, One Malay, One Indian and One White.

Ok whadaya waiting for? Go get your Feb Issue of TimeOut KL now! Yeah it is out already!
