Family Photoshoot

I've been waiting for this for ages.

I've been planning it in the beginning of the year and it has gotten done only at the end of the year. =S

I appreciate how my dad was kinda cooperative during the photo shoot. When I signed up the package with the bridal house, he asked me: "Take one photo only, right?". Haha. He was rather reluctant when he got to know the whole photo shoot might take up to 5 to 6 hours. Still his photos turned out to be damm cute.

I have a cute dad. Haha.

The day started out with, of course, none other than, make-up and hairdo.

We have four different outfits for the photo shoot: the Casual Wear, White Gown, Dinner Gown & Traditional costume; and in our case, we chose Japanese costume.

Now time for photo-savour.

My dad is damm cute ok. So 白马王子。(Translation: White horse prince. Bahahah.)

Pretty Mama. Handsome Daddy.

And their products = two daughters.

Gees. My sister looked so pretty in it.

And the cheeky ME!

Mama Mia!

Reminiscing the past? Hah!

Pose inspired by Tan Chin Fern. I love it!

Next suit: Dinner gown.

And they fixed up a fake hair for me! Ahhh..!

And my sister;

And my mother as well!

Last one: Japanese costume.

LOL. Now they made me looked so funny kawaii. Ahh..so not used to it. Hahah.

Our bubbly photographer of the day.

My daddy (for paying. haha.)
The models: Tan Chin Fern, Winnie Tan and Mummy. (for being so lovely. Wahahaha.)

The photos above are just some behind-the-scene photos. Actual photos are yet to be processed & collected. Wait till it comes and your eyes shall be relieved.

They are seriously great shots. We are supposed to pick only 20 photos out of 233 that has been taken. Now that we looked too good, my mum wants to buy all of them. Haha.

Prom Spotlights Wannabe

And nope, nothing wrong with being a Wannabe. XD

Ever heard of the Ultimate Prom Nite? A project by 8tv whereby they hold roadshow tours to major colleges in search of some eligible Prom Kings and Queens and the chosen ones, each from each gender, ultimately will be the glamorous Prom King and Prom Queen of the nite.

In the recent weeks, the 2008 search is under the limelight again.

The entire crew of Ultimate Prom Nite dropped their footsteps in my college.

The mass commers are all having sweet sweet holiday but I had to get back to college to do another 'all-black' photo shoot for KDU Idol and for some briefing, therefore I so happened to be in college.

I saw them when I reached and I decided, nah, I don't want to join. In case I get too occupied with additional things again, my routine gets haywire again. (and in case I get too glamorous) XD

After the briefing, the finalists waited for the photographer while I went for a change into my same black outfit. I took quite some time, I do realise (Oops..!) and when I was out from the washroom, every other finalists were gone from their waiting place.

Then I thought: Oh-ou! I took tooooooo long. They must have already gone up to the photo shooting room! Gosh! And..I turned around to see, and amazingly, most of them had already signed up to go for a shot in the Ultimate Prom Nite and waiting for their turn for make-up.

Alamak. Haha!

And...And...Peiying made a such a right assumption about me 'so gonna' join this competiton. Despite my decision of not wanting to participate, I finally still....signed up. XD

First, I had to wait for my turn for some make-up.

Before.

During.

This make-up artist took a very long time to do my make-up for me. I sat there until I'm in the brink of rotting. Hah!

After.

Oh wait.

Warning: The photo below might be potentially disturbing to you as much as it disturbed me. So scroll down more if you want to escape the sight of it.

Too rare a case for me to take such photos. I pondered for a while before I decided to post this photo up publicly. Hahah.

I wanted to see my makeup done by the girl that took her ages to do it, so just allow me to be vain once in a while lah. (Erm...no, but I thought I'm vain every single time?)

She darken my eyebrow a lot when And that was my first time wearing black shades of eyeshadow.

Before & After.
Vain & Vainer.

Next, head to photo shoot booth.

I had to .Pose.Pose.Pose. again.

And I really don't know how.

My body kept slanting to one side.

10 degress slant

25 degrees slant

28 degress body slant with a total a head slant

HAH!

From front, they all make me look like I'm gonna fall when taking pictures.
Bad photos, bad photos.

Until I finally got it right.

Choosing the best shot.
"This one or this one?"
"No..No..That one"

The final stop, video shooting.

Before that,

Jazz quickly grabbed me for a photo. She said I was too gorgeous to miss out a shoot. (Nope, this isn't the exact she words she said. I added spicies. A lot.)

I were to introduce myself..ya da da da da.

Why do you think you should win the title of the Ultimate Prom Queen?
Because I am 'this' and 'that' and..............(I don't know what to say)..and and I can sing!
Alamak. Unrelated. This is not a singing competition ok!

What qualities do you think an Ultimate Prom King should possess?
(I like this question! Is like asking me to say the qualities of my dream guy...and *starts dreaming*)
I think he should be.....*Whee..!*

Why do you think people should vote for you? Because....I am Soooo good!




And for the last part, I'm supposed to strongly promote my stand and to get votes from audiences, some continuous self-praise for a minute. I thought: Ookay, no sweat. This requires the thickskinness in a person, and I've got it all~! No worries.

On my cue, 3..2..1..go.

"Hi, I'm Fern. I'm 18 this year and I'm now studying Diploma in Mass Comm at KDU College Penang. I think I'm most eligible to be the Ultimate Prom Queen, because first of all, I'm a confident person and........I can sing! " (Tak ada kaitan again)

*Silence*

"I not only can sing, besides that, I'm good in sports, I can play music and I think I'm quite good in my studies too.."

*Silence*

"I....(shit i'm stuck!)...have a very nice smile..."

"......."

"So vote for me!"

=D

Experiment prove. I'm not a machine gun. I can't shoot my bullets like there's no tomorrow. I can't talk like a magpie.


But who cares la..Because according to the main sponsor of this event, Nivea:


Beauty is a smile. Not a talk.

KDU Idol Craze #1

I saw this up on notice boards around the college campus.


The very first "KDU Idol" title is up for grabs!


Since I can sing, I can dance, so in order to earn my bragging rights, I decided to go for an audition. Haha.

To my surprise, the response received wasn't as I've expected. I thought there will be a whole lot of people that will insist on show their stuff (even some might not have it), and think they are best and is the next hot-talk idol.

On the day of audition, I got the 10th for my turn.

That's my number, bay-beh!

My birth date, the 10th.
So I reckon I do stand great chance to get through the next round, don't I?

But..this number is not by chance or by luck, not even coincidence. When I registered myself, I purposely waited to be the 10th person to write in my name. By hook or by crook, I have to get number 10. Crazy. haha. Too fanatic about the number 10. LOL.

We had to have our full-size and half-size self-portrait taken before going into the audition room.

I thought my photoshoot experience from Estee Lauder Model Search audition should come in handy in terms of posing, but nope, doesn't work the same. I still don't know how to pose, the only thing i can show is still my million-dolar smile. Hah!

Oh, talking about Estee Lauder Model Search, I think shall put it for my next post, for your viewing pleasure (boleh cuci-mata, I hope XD) since I have never yet to do so.


Back to the audition, I courageously chose a song that I don't really know and can't really remember the lyrics. I know I shouldn't have chose that song but I think the song suits me really well and i like it. So I'm taking it for a bet.

I sang 新不了情，xin bu liao qing.

Of course I did flunk the lyrics part. But the judges were pretty impressed.............

Yes, I couldn't be wrong that the judges were impressed...........


This poster is currently all over KDU Penang Campus, in lifts, notice boards, glass doors and every other prominent areas of KDU.

Because during the weekend I received a call to inform me I was in the semi-finals!

The Monday after it we were asked to dress up for a photo shoot. I didn't know this event can get so big. They even have a photo shoot. Haha.

The theme for the photoshoot was black. I was a bit worried. Black. Black is not so my colour, how can I manage to find nice black outfit in my closet...Hmmm..

I search my closet up and down, explore my mum's wardrobe left and right and finally I come up with a combination of this.


Not quite bad, am I? XD

We had a briefing before the photoshoot.

The two categories from the initial audition, which is the singing category and the dancing category, will be competing for one final title up for grabs, the very first "KDU Idol".

The winner determining-factor for this round of competition, which is the semi-final comprise of: 50% judges and 40% voting. Where does the other 10% fall? 10%, is for our disciplinary and attitudes.

First time I heard this actually count in a talent show competition. Anyway, doesn't matter me much, since I have always been a GOOD girl. =D

Jeffery.

We had a group photo shoot and video recording on that day itself.


We are not supposed to smile but to look serious and to act cool. So not me. Cannot display my Million-dolar smile pula.






Until the last photo, I cannot tahan d. I curi-curi smile a bit. Actually even without me realising it myself. So I'm perhaps...erm...born to smile. XD

After that we proceeded to an individual video recording of the semi-finalist. Talking about when they started singing, what are going to do next, who inspired to join KDU Idol, what's your biggest advantage etc etc.


The last one was to record a video to pull for votes.

Things like: I'm the best of the best of the best of the best. So, don't be stupid, just vote for me.

or

You no eyes ar? I'm so beautiful and I sing like "Maria Carry". You don't vote for me, vote for who?

Nope. Of course not. No one said that. Not even Miss thick skin Tan Chin Fern. XD

I can't form my words correctly at that point of time. I blurted out something that I hope it does sound convincing for people to vote for me. Haha.


And...I somehow didn't realise I did this pose during the video recording. Alamak!
