MODELING IS so not my thing.

So...yes. I went to Malaysia for my photoshoot. It's for my 21st birthday (masquerade theme) and my mum and dad sponsored it. I get to shoot from 12pm to 6pm and have to adorn 2 of my own casual attire while the photographers provide two of their gowns. So here's a summary of how it went.

Alright, I know I've done the 10 thing list before this but what the hell I'll do it again.


10 things I learned in Malaysia

1) When one is modeling, one may tend to get stuck in a certain position especially if the hip is thrust to one's side. Yes. When I was sitting on the floor while the photographer was taking a shot, I actually leaned forward and said, "Wait, wait, wait. Hip cram. Hip cram."

2) Serena understands me superbly well. The stylist placed a mini hat on my head and I just said, "Really?" rather softly and Serena said, "Yes. It suits you fine. Don't worry." What would I do without her? Haha.

3) Anyone can look good with 3 layers of makeup on their face.

4) When someone repetitively tells me something, I get wary. The photographer was an awesomely nice guy but for some reason, he finds it necessary to constantly, and I mean CONSTANTLY, say, "Okay, alright. 3, 2, Open your mouth." What he wanted was a natural looking picture, according to Serena so he didn't want me to tightly press my lips together, hence the instruction to open it slightly. But to REPEAT it more than a 100 times....sigh...I laughed at first and then I died inside.

5) My eyes can actually look bigger than they are with the help of fake eyelashes.

6) That contraption I always thought was a torture tool is actually an eyelash curler. Whoopie. And here's a tip. If you want to make sure that your eyelashes actually stay curled after you use the torture tool eyelash curler, heat the torture curler with a hair dryer first before using.

7) Dresses that don't look nice on first inspection can actually look really good in a picture.

8) People in Malaysia are amazed by the fact that Serena and Colin are friends with Indians or vice versa. They kept staring at the group of us. Yes people. We're planning to start a revolution in your country by mixing the Chinese and the Malays.

9) I like the contact lens I bought. It's actually rather irrelevant to the topic at hand but hey what the hell.

10) Oh oh oh!!! The road from Malaysia's customs (Checkpoint) to the city itself looks like an F1 racetrack, with all its curves and stuff. Think of the possibilities. First was the night race, now we'll have country to country races. Haha. Can you imagine the racers stopping at the immigrations to hand of their passports before they can get clearance to complete the race. Haha. If you're not laughing just get off my blog now.

So folks, I'm tired, decidedly so. Hence, I'm going to sign off now with this picture that my mum took of me during the shoot:

Don't forget No. 3.
