Photoshopping.
Saturday, March 28, 2009

Its been awhile since i blogged.
Went for Alyaa's open house last week (uber fab house, her bro's an interior designer) and Sarah's birthday party last Monday.. (Thanks Cal for fetching me to and fro and asking you to come pick me up so VERY last minute. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT OKAY).

The moment i stepped into the car I was like, "I'M SORRY!!"
and he bluntly said, "Well its 50 bucks for this."
And btw. Here's a beeg shoutout to Sarah who just turned 18. Woot, legal age. GET DRUNK!!!!!
Happy Birthday Sarah (or belated now but i smsed her on the actual day of 27th)
This picture is taken when we were in Form 3. Yes everyone i still have the picture. Yes Siwei the picture came back to haunt you.
This photo credits to Sarah herself. Awesome ice cream cake.
Anyway, here's a tiny tutorial of how i get my coloured eyes. This photoshopping was super dolfie inspired. Whats a dolfie? Wait..
*googles for some pictures*
Here's a link
And and.. some pictures of dollfies. I actually know some people who collect these dolls. They look abit TOO lifelike for me.

First, take a picture with you eyes looking far into the distance. This wil create the effect of dead lifeless eyes.
As you can see, i have distorted eyebrows, pimply on my right cheek (only right cheek i have no idea why) and crumply chin (from making act-cute face)Clear that all up, fix the eyebrows and enlarge pupils and eyelids. Add colour into the irises. Remember to darken part for the pupils.

Touch up the pupils and irises by blurring them to blend.
End product. (I even tinted my hair brown but its not noticable wuwuwuwu)

Yesterday i went to Holiday Plaza to buy contact lenses. AND GUESS WHAT. I suddenly got my time of the month there. Gah. Girls will know the hassle of suddenly getting ur period in the middle of shopping. So have to rush to toilet, rush to pharmacy, rush to toilet. Hah. Not interested right? Sorry you read liao.
Anyway i bought these shoes.


*prances around like a true shoe model*

Malaysian Dreamgirl Fashion Show @ Mist Club
Sunday, March 22, 2009



My post of the Malaysian Dreamgirl @ Mist Club for the official blog can be found here.
(The content is different as official bloggers are not allowed to duplicate our works)



Exactly one week ago, I boarded a bus to KL with my sister and grandmother.

The ticket costs about RM31 per person to KL's Puduraya bus station. Instead of a one day trip, we stayed in Coronade Hotel opposite Sungei Wang plaza. (So that my grandma will have a place to go when myself and Erica goes to Mist Club)


Anyway, here's an old picture of Coronade Hotel from my last visit.

The room i stayed in. (Old picture but it looks the same =.=)

After getting ready and having a quick meal. Erica and I took the LRT (gasp!) to Sri Petaling where Suresh was to pick me up. (He claims that KL town has hectic traffic at that time).

So, amazing race-ish.. We took the LRT to Sri Petaling. (My sister wrote a detailed version of the trip on her blog). There was this old man who was like, walking/limping towards us and I got quite nervous and was discussing with my sister the fastest route to run but he said

"Xiao mei mei, (in chinese) next stop is Sri Petaling?"

and we nervously said, "Err.. Yah" (while i whacked my sis for having doubts about him when it was me who got nervous first. Blah)


So quiet. Not scary meh?


Anyway, finally reached Mist Club at 6.30pm. (Event was to start at 7pm) but Robb from Nuffnang who had ALL the blogger's tickets wasnt there. Even the people from MDG that KNEW ME didnt wanna let me in (or give me the Media tag which gave you a auto ticket in) saying, "Sorry, we dont recognise you as official media"

KNS. I take a long trip from JB to KL and you dare to say that I'm nothing. You know who you are and i hope you're reading my blog and just so you know i wont be so polite to you the next time.

Its not Jared so everyone stop speculating!

Anyway, after a few hours (yes i only went in at 8++), I just slipped in taking the Media tag from the girl who was handing it out.Grouchy bloggers waiting outside for hours. Myself, Simon and Diese.
(Photo credits goes to Simon)
Weee.. took picture with Julie (judge of MDG and CEO of Beautilicious cosmetics)
Finally Elaine Daly graced the stage saying that the girls will be out soon. Heh. Finally shutting up the noisy DJ's music. So many people were trying to talk and he was like sesat swaying to his own music. Either thought we were deaf or something. Maybe he was already.
Stage lights.
Alot of people. Spot yourself.
(I'm not posting the girls in order, I'm only posting each of their best shots. If you want more pictures of them click here)


Acha modelling a cheongsam for Red Lantern Studios.
My comment : Acha's a very pretty person up close. I was so sorry to see her go during the elimination. But during the fashion show, her pictures turned out very bad. As you can see, this picture as her best one (in my opinion) isnt very nice. Maybe she was trying to look "sexy" and didnt smile. Acha looks prettier smiling. =(
Syasha modelling for HP Pavillon Notebook.
My comments : I seriously dont see whats the big deal with Syasha. Her features are too manly and fierce and my other pictures of her are plain scary. (Some can be found here). I also dont see the "exotic" look people keeps saying but maybe thats just my opinion.
Pinky models for HP
My comments : Pinky looks good in alot of my pictures. Her body is nice and would be easy to pull of any form of clothing. Check out her Wacoal photoshoot and you'll know what i mean.

Malaysian Dreamgirls with the HP people.

Natasha models for Viva C.
Natasha is very easy to the eye. But i HATE what they did to her hair. I mean, for entertainment purposes and to make it like "DRAMATIC CHANGE" they cut her hair so short. It makes her face look so round now.
Ming models for LIMKOKWING university's Fashion school.
Actually I find Ming very pleasing to the eye. Her pictures are pretty but her catwalk is abit bad. She walks too fast and all the camera people groan and sigh cuz they can barely get a decent shot of her. This picture is taken when all the girls have to stand and not move. She's very pretty and great for picture shots but too short for catwalk work. Maya models for Viva C.
This is honestly her best shot. Maya tries abit too hard to be high fashion model and she looks like she's glaring at everyone offstage. Her personality makes up for what she lacks and from what i heard, she was the life of the "dream home"? She needs to lose weight to pursue modeling. (She was recently eliminated)

Malaysian Dreamgirls and Elaine Daly

Dawn models for Red Lantern Studios.
My comments : Dawn has an excellent figure but quite plain looks. I hate what they did to her hair. Too short. Too boyish. She's a very nice girl but i've only met her once. None of my pictures of her turn out bad.
Liana models for Viva C.
Honestly, Liana's the girl everyone will love to hate. She has that sultry look and sexy lips. But from what i heard, she has a nasty character?? I'm no one go judge since i only met her once. Her pictures turned out quite good. Photogenic.

Juanita models for Red Lantern Studios.
Weeee... Juanita is a JB girl too. I miss her long hair but everyone else seems to love this short cut of hers. She can seriously be a model even without make up but look here. She looks like a pale ghost! I think the make up artist isnt used to working with dark skin.
Farah Nasuha models for Wacoal Lingerie.
Farah i think is too short to be a model. She needs to lose weight too and she was recently in the bottom 3. She didnt get eliminated because Rajvin pulled out of MDG.
Denezia models for Wacoal lingerie.
Denezia is not pleasing to MY eye. I feel that she is too over expressive and she likes to take pictures facing down with her eyes looking up. (Example here). She has an impressive body though she is quite disliked by people on MDG blog for some reason. She has a loud personality. Sorry for going off topic.
Myself, Denezia and my sister. Whatever. My sister is younger than me and half a head taller. I KNOW! End.Erica, Ming and myself.Dennis the intern working for MDG. Also known as "The nanny" as he has to run around helping the girls.
Elaine Daly, Myself and Fiqa of Malaysian Dreamgirl season 1. I KNOW I AM VERY SHORT OKAY! Dammit.Suresh, Diese and myself.
Wahaha.. Jenkin Yat and myself. (I kept calling him blogger of the month)
Fiqa and Adeline of Malaysian Dreamgirl Season 1.
Angela and me.
After the event. The bloggers walked to the nearby mamak stall to eat and chat. Here's a picture of 5/10 of the Malaysian Dreamgirl official bloggers.
Meet Simon, Angela, Diese, Myself and Andrew
Okay. This post took me 3 hours. I need some sort of award.
Goodnight all
Love,
