A tribute to Billie

My portfolio pics are finally out. Glad they gave us soft copies too. Look at the left column below the tag board and u can see the 6 looks I've done as well as some accessories I've made.There are more studio shoot looks I did for my bro-in-law's company but well, I've yet to get the pics. Hope to get it soon and share it with you guys.

I would love to say a million, billion, zillion, thanks to Billie, for being such a lovely model for my portfolio. It was really killing.. for her and for me. A very tiring job. I think the photos turn out pretty good. Urm.. not that I've got outstanding make-up skill.. but because Billie looks fab! you know there's a saying "its not easy to make a pretty girl ugly". Its true.

Feel free to leave any comments or you may visit Billie's blog in my links. Her blog's interesting, one of my friends even add hers in the link although they don't know one another.

Enjoy!

I'm angry. I'm very very angry. Don't ask me why. I'm just angry and I just want to outlet my anger. DAMN IT!

"For good times and bad times, I'll be on your side forever more... that's what friends are for..."

Environment changes people. Humans are forever searching for more. No one human is contented with what he/she has. I guess greed is inborn, we yearn for higher salary, higher post, a more luxurious lifestyle, more love, more friends. When we attained what we want, we forgot what we used to have or rather, what we already have.

How many of us actually stopped in the path of our life and look back? Look what we've done, what has happened and who have we neglected. Blinded. Blinded by our achievements, our goals, temptations around us and we'll lost the important things and people in life.

I'm disappointed. Disappointed with the person for not being able to think right. The person could have done more, but did not. The person left us behind, neglected our feelings, forgotten our friendship.

That's it. I've made up my mind.

I decided to find myself a boyfriend who will bring me travelling while Yong is in France. Can't help it but am envious of my galfriends. They have boyfriend who are willing to spend their entire savings on them. Is there a problem with me or there's something not quite right with Yong? I've been with him for 6 years... and we went no further than Sentosa.

Examples, examples. Friend A's boyfriend brought her to Taiwan to celebrate her birthday. Friend B and boyfriend went Taiwan, going Phuket in Sept. Friend C went Hong Kong with his all-so-loving girlfriend. Acquaintance and partner just came back from Hong Kong and heard that they are planning a trip to Australia, already. And many many more which I can't bring myself to name it. Reality hurts.

So, any kind souls reading this has got hunks to introduce or any takers out there who are feeling lonely? *yuhoo* calling out once! calling out twice!.....

I told my sis about it and our conversation goes....

Me: "so good rite!?! envy leh...."

Sis: "aiyah, some gals just so 'xin fu'..."

me: "huh? then my 'xin fu' leh? my life damn miserable..."

sis: "u ah... i dunno leh, maybe your 'xin fu' comes later..."xian ku hou tian"..."

Me: "????????????????"

LATER? How late is later? When I'm 80 years old rocking in my rocking chair? By then he wanna offer me a trip to Mauritius I also cannot walk liao.

Fine, enough of grumbling... this isn't gonna get me anywhere. I shall just stay in Singapore and be a 'kept woman'.

Oh boy, revamping blog's layout is such a chore! It seems like I've spent my entire life trying to get my post to show and pictures uploaded. Ok, I deserve a box of Godiva Chocolate since now I've finally managed to get my blog working well again. Smart Joyce.

The past month was a real hectic one. I'm practically running around the city to get things done. Got to complete my super thick thesis with researched materials, 16 paper colourings and 10 models makeovers. Then, I had my portfolio taking which took the whole of Saturday and I really feel sorry for my model, Billie. She's such a sweetie, I can see that she's trying her very best to tolerate the 'wayang' make-up, painful hair styling, not-so-professional photoshooting, and the horrible packed-lunch. Thanks gal! *muack muack* Just took my theory exam last week and I'm counting down the days to my practical exam this weekend. Horrible.

My dad did his thorough body check-up last month worrying of stomach cancer. God answered my prayers and gave us his blessings, the result shown nothing serious. Phew... what a relieve! I tell you, the 1 week of results waiting was a dread, the fear and uncertainties was overwhelming. My dad's birthday was worth a celebration of double happiness.

Now that things are slowing down and there's space for me to breathe, I start pondering about my future. Once again, I'm back to the journey of job planning. I have got tons of support and help from my family and friends, and I'm really thankful for that. Plans have been drawn and in the midst of implementing it. I'll inform you guys in the days to come when everything's settled.

Here I am.. showing some pictures of what I've done during the hectic month of July.


My Thesis coverpage, and I'm proud to say that all the still pictures were taken by me!
See the artistic angles??



Josephine, one of my thesis model.
I think she resembles TCS Actress Amy Cheng in this pic thou.



This was the first look I did for Billie on portfolio photoshooting day.
Huh? Can't see the makeup?? Ofcoz lah.. It's nude look what!

Another 1 out of 6 looks. It's a bridal evening look.

Somehow I think she looks like a peranakan here.

Don't like the gown? What to do... provided by school mah...

Rite... that's all I'm gonna post up... coz I'm lazy. Gals out there... If you really really love my make-up, drop me a msg and I can either create a look for ya or coach you. I do accessories too, custom-made ones. Guys, I know my models are mouth-watering beautiful but nope, you are not gonna get their numbers from me. Even if you offer me the finest wine & foie gras.
