D&D 2012...B'day celebration...

Went to the Dinner and Dance on Friday night and it was alright. Not exactly very fun but still alright I guess. Going to events like these is always a big headache to me... Dolling up is not easy at all! At least for a girl/woman...

First of all, you have to choose the attire that you are gonna wear for the event... Trust me, the rental of special attire ain't cheap at all!! It burnt a big hole in my pocket :(

Secondly, you have to make sure that you have the right shoe to go along with your clothing! In this case, I bought a pair of black heels to go along with it. :(

Thirdly, you have to think of the kind of make up you want for the event. This is the biggest headache to me actually. First of all, my daily makeup only consist of two items: concealer and loose powder. I don't really put on eyeliner, mascara and fake eyelashes etc... I didn't want to put on very thick and exaggerating makeup so I only put on thin and simple eyeliner. I was very cautious when I putting on my makeup but the weather nowadays is driving me nuts!! It's damn hot and you get to sweat VERY easily. =.=" Nevertheless, I managed to do it! :)

Last but not least, you have to decide on the kind of hairstyle that you want to go along with overall look. I was playing around with my hair and doing several 'experiments'... Initially, I tried to use my hair straightener to curl my hair but it's useless... My hair just don't curl up at all and I gave up halfway as it's only doing harm to my hair texture. >.< Following that, I tried to have two plaits appearance. It seems alright but I don't have the right kind of hair bands to tie it. :( Due to time constraint and limited resources, I GAVE UP. I showed up in my normal hair look (which looked kind of 'chui' due to the hair straightener>.<)

Initially, we were quite worried that our dressing will be too exaggerating but we are just fine...... There are several people who are even more daring and sporting than us I would say. Throughout the whole event, I like the part whereby the performer Lydia Sum came out. She was damn good at creating the atmosphere and she seems to have the natural talent to be a comedian. It was literally LMAO when she "perform". I really admire her talent!! ^^

It was sort of a birthday celebration yesterday for us (Shuqi, Hwee Sian and me). Thank you guys. There were a few hiccups here and there but luckily the day ended on a happy note. As for Ricky Sim, I know you were trying to be innovative and to make it more interesting for us. It was kind of contradicting actually yesterday as I really appreciate what you have done but yet you reminded me that you have lied to us! Lol. Haha but nevertheless, arigato Mr. Sim ^^ By the way, for people who are reading this post right now...please do not be scared of the fonts that you are gonna see below......it's actually dedicated for one person only:

On a side note...I wonder if anyone else have the same feeling as me... It's like...the same piece of happiness always comes and goes away in a flash of light...and you are really afraid of losing that happiness that you have. Wondering will it ever comes back again. I never ever wanna lose it but yet I am unable to grab hold of it...... Sounds ironic indeed.

徐婕兒-沒有你的每一天...Nice... :)

My first singing lesson~

My colleague helped us to buy groupons for a 4 hours singing lesson at Ark Music. It's split into two lesson and we have just attended our first lesson on Mon. We were quite shocked actually because we thought we are the only students in that lesson until we realized that it's a total of 12 people for that day. Consider it as a warm up or a "scary" exercise, the very first thing that we were told to do is a self-introduction. Sounds easy right? No~~~ The self introduction includes introducing your name, why are you here for this session and sing a few lines of your favorite song in front of the whole class!! We were like "OMG" and one of my colleagues thought of running off. Lol... Everyone of us started to panick and to search for the lyrics using our phones. I have a deeper impression of the first two ladies who sang as they sang beautifully! They make me wonder why are they here for the lesson. Then there were a few who had stage frights and were unable to sing at their usual standards I think. The instructor will give some comments after each of us sing. I was terribly nervous as my hands went cold and I was still hesistating on which song to choose and which part of it to sing. After much consideration, I chose 倒带 by Jolin Tsai. It's a song that I will definitely sing on every karaoke sessions. To prevent from creating a scene of myself, I chose to sing the first verse (which I think is safer). I was amazed by one of my colleagues who actually chose to sing a Japanese song from Ayumi Hamasaki... Finally it's my turn, I was trying my best to remain composed. This is the only time which I feel that short sightedness is a quality actually (as I am unable to see the faces of the "audiences" clearly). I was so happy that the instructor didn't give any negative feedback and she said that it's quite nice. Maybe that's because I chose the safest part to sing. :) After the self-introduction session, the instructor went on to elaborate on some of the basic things to know in order to sing. My colleagues and I were quite familiar with most of the pointers as we had some musical background (e.g. Concert band, Chinese orchestra and Choir). It's was a new experience after all. For the next session, we are supposed to choose one of the songs to sing in front of the class. The options given include: 1) 分手快乐，2) 十年, 3) Love me and one more song which I had forgotten the name of jy. I'm definitely gonna choose the first one. Hopefully my voice won't crack >< I have the strong urge to shout out to you... I really miss you.
