Working On My Smile

Hello again Bloggers :D

Back for another update post! Wonder what I've been up to during the holidays? Just a bunch of lazy stuff :P Another thing I have been working on is my SMILE :D

I'm not a very good smiler :P My cheeks become stiff and I pull out a rigid and awkward smile whenever I'm in front of the camera. But very weirdly, I'm more comfortable when I'm taking pictures of myself in a quiet corner. It must be because I'm just simply shy in public, I'm a very very shy and reserved kid.

So I locked myself in the toilet and started smiling in front of the camera. Practice makes perfect :) Here are the shots!
P.S The quality of the pictures aren't very good because they were taken from my iTouch camera. My camera is spoilt T_T Took a lot of time editing it so this post was delayed! :P


Wasn't aware this was taken :P P.S If you're wondering what the Nail Polish I'm wearing is, it's Picture Polish's Berry Nice. I absolutely love the color!

This was how I used to smile when I was little! So goofy :P


Quite happy with these 2 shots, I think it's more natural compared to my stiff awkward smile I always pull when in public.

Getting a little grumpy because I realized I take many good pictures with when I self-cam a.k.a camwhore. I wish I was more natural and comfortable in public!


Peace be with you! :D My peace sign automatically shoots up whenever I take pictures of myself. I guess I always try to copy those Korean Idols with flawless and cute selcas.

See? They V-sign too :DD

Practicing again. My mom (she's probably reading this) always tell me to flash my teeth whenever I smile. Because since young, I don't smile showing my teeth, my most natural pictures are when my Mother tickle me causing me to laugh, so the picture is captured with my mouth opened wide :DD If she didn't tickle me, my teeth smile would be like the second picture shown above :p Nowadays I try to naturally show my teeth while smiling. My mom has the
sweetest smile :)

2nd Day of SMILE Project! I brought Pooh along (to pose with me) :P It helps sometimes when I have something to pose with :P


Whatcha doing, Pooh?
:O

I like this picture a lot because I managed to keep Pooh balancing on my head :P And my fringe looks GOOOOD :p My smile ain't that bad, right? :)

NERDDDD!
Random pic :P

My photo session was quite good :) I think I managed to get some good pics. But the picture I love the most and I am most satisfied with is...

YEAP :) I LOVE this picture. I wasn't actually ready to take this picture but I clicked SNAP and ta-da! Came out really pretty to me. If you follow me on Twitter then you would recognize this picture :)

WELL, that's the end of my photo practicing. Do you have any tips for picture taking? What's your secret in making a good picture? :) SHARE! :)

Sorry this post took so long to write. I'm quite lazy :P
But I think I'll do a quick online shopping haul post next time. Here's a little sneak peek picture:

Oh yeahh! My Girls Generation The Boy's album has arrived! :)
Will talk about it...next time :)

HAVE A GREAT WEEK! :D
Love you lots!
Comment and follow :)

The holidays are here!! WOOOOOW, did 2011 past by so fast or what? I still feel like it's new year.

There even was a 'False Teeth earring' :P how awesome! But in the end I went with Hershey's Chocolate Bar Earrings and a Nestle Crunch Chocolate Bar Necklace

My sweet prizes :)

Awards Day 2011

Hey guys! :)

I'm back with my school's Awards Day post! There's gonna be a lot of pictures :) This was the best Awards Day in my school's history of Awards Day, this year the event was held at a different location (finally they changed the venue! xD). My school held it a small hotel which was actually kinda nice, small but modern :) I bet you'd wanna know if I won any prizes...well...I won the Most Exemplary Student award! :D I received a trophy and a certificate! This is my second time receiving the Most Exemplary Award :D *big smile*!

I'M SO HAPPYYYYYYY I could SCREEEEEEEEAM!
heehee. Anyway, this year, the students got to vote which nominees they wanted to receive the prizes. And honestly, I'm still wondering how I got this award because I'm not exactly very popular and socializing is not my best thing :P But THANK YOU THANK YOU my friends, for voting me :)

I was on duty as an usher to welcome the guests and frankly, I am NOT A GOOD usher! >< Moving on, here are some pictures! :)

What I wore: An old but still lookin' new checkered dress (P.S I'm not very good in describing fashion :P) with a black jacket. Tied my hair in the princess style. Played it simple. I was tempted to put on some eyeliner but in the end I didn't but everyone else did when I got there :P All the girls were in heavy makeup! I guess I stood out being all natural :p

My ushering station, this is wear we ushers greet, take attendance and give out door gifts to the guests.
The whole reception usher crew. The teachers looked gorgeous and all dressed up in their traditional attires while I just went with formal :P
Smiling for the camera along with my girlfriends :) They were both in their saris or Indian costumes for their amazing Indian Bollywood performance :)
My best buddy, Jian Lee in his Tunku Abdul Rahman (Malaysia's first Prime Minister) costume for the skit performance. Solo shot! :P
My favorite photo of the day :) My darling Erica and I!
Esther popping by for a picture too :) Erica wouldn't be Erica without her cheeky twin sister Esther :P Both of them have been my loyal besties for 3 years!

Mildred and I<3 Mildred gives the best hugs, not to mention the tightest xD

Performances!
I didn't take any photos of the performances as I was busy with my usher duties and everything so I...heh heh...stole some pics from my school's Facebook page.

Junior Boys' performance. They did really good, my buddy Katrina was their choreographer and personally I think she did a good job. It's tough to train these kids because they're so playful and mischievous :P A couple of my friends and I had a hard time gathering them before their cue to go up on stage :P But they did a great job and the audience wanted an encore so these little boys went up the stage the second time and performed :)

Next, the Chinese Fan Dance, was choreographed by some of the teachers. The dance was good but I liked the first one performed by the Junior Boys better. But overall, the kids in this dance did well too :) I like their fans :D

And lastly, the highlight of the day for me, the Indian Dance! This was my favorite performance of the day, and it was the longest! :P These gals have been practicing really hard for the performance. I'm really impressed, although it was longer than all the other performances , I think it was still the best. Their costumes were very colorful and vibrant and the whole dance was very lively. It was a big hit, one of the pastors invited them to perform at a graduation ceremony.

The Awards!
Teacher Michael and I :)
All I can say is I'm just very happy I received the award!
Not very happy with my pictures, I look like my cheek muscles froze ><

That's all for today!
The holidays are here so hopefully I don't laze around too much and blog more :P
Gotta finish my math too! Working hard already :D (OKAY not exactly. I haven't touched my Math since yesterday. But I will, I will!)


Have a great day~

love love love

Fishing Trip: Day 1

Hiya guys! :)

Just wanted to share the pictures I took from Day 1 of my Fishing Trip :) Yes, I'm on my fishing trip.

Fishing status: Caught 0 Fishes

I love the big shady trees all around the resort!

The chalet's view of the lake :)

My sister and I popping by the fishing club to check on my dad who was busy fishing :)

The Fishing Club!

My dad reeling in some plants, he lacks some fishing skills :P

My sister patiently and quietly waiting for the fishes to bite :)

For some reason, I love to capture my toes with the scenery :P

More toes, more flip flops :P

Getting bored...

It's 6:16 pm and still no fishes...

Others are also waiting for fishes to bite :)

This lady and her daughter (not in the picture) was right next to us and she's a pro! She caught 2 fishes. We were getting kinda frustrated because the fishes only ate her bait and not ours :P

6:20 pm, no fishes :(

I got so tired, hot, frustrated and sticky that I went to where the shallow part was and fed the leftover bread to the little fishies :P Boy, they had a feast. It was kinda fun watching them snatch the pieces of bread from each other. They were so aggressive, I thought they were actually piranhas :P You can't actually see the fishes because they were so swift, and they made lots of ripples.

Instead of fishes, I got mosquito bites. I was seriously mad because I was itching all over. This was one of the biggest ones I got, it swelled up so big! It itches like mad, and hurts like a blue-black. But I took revenge when I slapped the hungry mosquito right off my hand :P It was his last drink of blood :P

After 20-30 minutes later, we decided to call it a day. So we left the club, my dad, my sister and myself. It was not a very productive day but I still enjoyed the scenery. I would like to state that I am not a fishing girl, I don't like it because we have to stay quiet and wait and wait and wait. I hate the waiting part :P My dad had to always remind me to stay patient (coming from someone who lost his own patience frequently :P) But I do enjoy the scenery and the calmness, and I love the evening wind and the view of the sunset. Sometimes, you can actually spot a group of Hornbills flying off :) I always get excited when I spot them :)

Do you enjoy fishing? Have you gone on a fishing trip before? Do share your experiences :D
xoxo
