Poladroid

Can't afford a polaroid?

Try POLADROID! *cheers*

I recently discovered this little quirky application for my computer. It's basically a quick photo editing tool that transfers any digital photo into a polaroid one. It's simple and funny, free of course! All I had to do was drag and drop. Problem solved!

Look, it even shows your photo 'developing'! LOL

Ta-dah! End product :)

Have a great week everyone.

Internship

My 2-months internship started officially on Monday! It's such a sudden transitiOn from school to work that I'm still slowly adapting to this kind of lifestyle. It's not easy. I report at 10 and dismiss at 6.30pm, by then I'd be so worn out, especially when my body clock hasn't recovered for the better from exam week.

My working hours are reasonable and I am thankful. The hard part is surviving a day without crazy friends who would race Kartrider during lunch break, no taking of naps, no windows in my office to look out to.

For people who are interested to know my job scope...

Replying emails.
(This task drove me insane, I never hated replying emails so much in my entire life) CRAZY! The amount of emails coming in every few minutes is insane. There are all sorts of (annoying) customers who wouldn't reply to a given order format, who enquires about things that were already stated previously. Grrr.

Excel spread sheet.
Based on the emails, I had to record details of all customer orders on an excel sheet. I barely passed my DSS last semester with a D. Enough said. I'm so pathetic that boyfriend had to help do my work :(

On my second day of work, my bosses included me in for a meeting with some PR person. It was so interesting! I was entitled to try out so many bath and beauty products, my previously dry skin felt wonderful after sampling shampoos, stretch mark cream and lavender moisturizing lotion ^^

Marketing
I was officially given a project to work on. And that is, to market two brands. I'm required to come up with a marketing plan, present my proposal and execute it within 2 months. It's exciting, fun, and pressurizing at the same time. So guys, I really need your help!

Kindly assist me by doing this short survey! I hate to mention this over and over again, but it's really important! The marketing plan is no joke and if I fail....there goes my resume.

Here's the link. I PROMISE it will take less than 3 minutes.

Thank you in advance! I'll really appreciate your response.

Trying to find the air to breathe again

Hell week officially came to an end. I'm halfway through my Polytechnic education, and my 2-months internship is starting next week. Sometimes I wonder, why did God put me to a course where I can never excel in grades, where I never feel worthy or proud of my achievements. But I tell me self, the best has yet to come, the best had yet to come.

Trust. Breathe.

Dress - Lipsyditsy, jacket - Cotton On, belt- Shanghai, Shoes - Charles&Keith

Sky-topping wedges that I blogged about here!

Told you I can reach a height of 1.7+ with these on.

I haven't done a Lookbook post for so long, and today I just wanted to put myself together, plus the weather was perfect to even wear a leather jacket in Singapore! The dress is pretty but it gives me the most awkward moment whenever wind blows and the layers of chiffon just fly up above my knees. So embarrassing when it happens in public...

Visages De Michelle

The shoot pictures are out! The below are my person favourites. Enjoy :)

Featuring: The very beautiful Michelle Chan, Carrie Models
Photography - Stuart Chen, Makeup - Me, Assistant - Low Yixing, Wardrobe - Kooshi, model's own, Uli

The entire shoot was done in my room. Can you believe it?! Working with space contraint is really a pain for shoot. Thankfully, the weather provided excellent natural light and the team worked cohesively. It's my first makeup experience on an actual model!! And by model, I mean individuals under the management of an actual agency, not a self-proclaimed 'model'. I had so much fun and learnt some lessons the textbook could never teach me. The initial theme was lingerie and night wear, which featured very soft blushed cheeks and subtly smokey eyes. And then from there we went ahead and got really adventurous - a fiercer look featuring strong cat eyes and red lips. We wanted to achieve a transition between two contrasting styles.

Which is your favourite? What do you think? Feel free to leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you guys. (:

"It's a wrap!"

The photoshoot earlier today took 5 hours in all, from makeup to styling to getting the perfect shot. My room was the 'studio'! It's not very spacious but we worked hard to make full use of available resources. Here's a little preview of what to expect from us:

Our very artistic set-up using a white sheet, some magazines and photo frame.  

Oh look an indoor umbrella! Yeah....

Our model posing fierce with chair piercing stilettos, my military jacket and a cigarette.

All pictures above taken with my humble iPhone.

I had an amazing time working with them, can't wait to see the actual photos and share with you guys! So stay tuned :D

My Pride And Joy

Some photos taken recently by my friends Tiffany and Jenny. Thank you so much!

Also, I'm pretty hyped cause I'll be working on a makeup related project/shoot tomorrow. Exams are coming so I have to work extra hard and organize myself despite the busy schedule. Keeping my fingers crossed.
