In Shock

Just came back from the Citta Bella A-list Stylish Women event. Am still in shock. Because I won the title.

In all honesty, I was absolutely not expecting to win anything at all. I got involved in this project because I wanted to help out a dear media friend from the publication, I wanted to support his efforts for spearheading this. I thought all the rest of the women were equally, if not more, deserving of this. My short session of conversation, during the make-up and dressing, with some of them this evening had been very inspirational.

And lo and behold! For now, I'm still in disbelief, cos I've never won anything, not even lucky draw. Except for winning the heart of my husband. Haha. What I'm totally delighted about though, are the prizes. Ted Baker, here I come!

Meanwhile, here's ripping off the page from r@e's blog. We were laughing so hard when I pretended to "sign autograph". So uh, ignore those mindless scribbling on the page! =p

candice said...

when keat saw your pic in 我报, he couldn't recognise you at all. but he thinks your name is very unique, so what are the odds of another person who works in that position and has the same name? he brought me the papers to check with me and i couldn't quite believe that was you too at first!

anyway, CONGRATULATIONS on your win!! can bring the mag along this Sunday or when we do lunch? hee!

ShutterBug said...

okie, I have gotten a copy of the Citi Bella with your winning shot already so now what is missing is your autograph :D

and I find that the styling they did for you is closer to the one they did for Faye of F.I.R :)

欣颖 > Hello! Yes I do know you, pop over to your blog from time to time. :) Haha, it's the current Nov issue. who's your friend from Citta?

dr > ha, thanks babe, the wonders of camera tricks i think!

candice > hee now you know. ;)

lilsnooze > wahahaha, nooooooo no sash, no "handing over" next year la babe!

Haha, anything, any excuse for us to go shopping right?? ;)

michelle > big enough already la, haha, thanks dear! :)

inthewilderness > thanks babe! but seriously, this is the power of make-over and camera tricks. :D

sharon > thanks babe! :)

pillo > Ok ok, bring your copy of citta the next time we meet for lunch yah? hahahahaa, eh, seriously, must catch up for lunch hor. =p

kongling > 谢谢,谢谢!It meant more for me to see my dear friends like you guys in the crowd of strangers and bright lights, cos I was SO nervous! :D

yuling > aiyah, really, this is professional makeover mah, so in real life, it's not like that! haha. but thanks babe :)

miss pot > hello! thanks for coming by! :) And haha, thanks for your compliments, but really, it's the wonders of makeover. :)

shutterbug > WAH, 不是吧?! You went to get a copy?! Styling was done by this absolutely flamboyant and funky lady called Dolphin. Had a lot of fun doing this shoot, although the posing there for long long moments was really quite tiring!!

ruth > very different I do agree - more "gungho" than what i would normally wear! :D

beanbean > Some jewellery from Soo Kee and shopping vouchers from Ted Baker, so it was well worth it! Heh! ;)

weiling > haha, thanks! Very few people could tell that was me. With that makeup on, my husband asked me, "can you have make up like this on everyday?" =p

imp > thanks babe! I would enjoy shopping ANYWAY!! ;)

tiffany > *grins* I had fun! :)

lily ann > Thanks, but like I said, it's the power of makeover and camera tricks. ;)

vanessa > thanks babe!!! :)

mudgod > hee, actually i asked the editor a few times, whether they "altered" my shape in anyway. he said no leh. Haha, dunno true or not. But maybe it's the lighting and shadowing too. Hahahahaha

Thanks, wil do a special signing for you. ;)
