Project Tranformation (E.T to Princess)

Gosh, i nearly had a nervous breakdown today.

Posing in front of 4 persons (1 lady and 3 guys), was no easy feat at all. LWC is a joyful and bubbly lady who is my fellow colleague from another department. While Larry is my makeup artist, who is so young, so full of live, and full of attitude in him. The other 2 guys are the photography crew, both shy but possesses funny and lovable humour that are so infectious.

First Larry need to make me look presentable, major re-construction ok! Larry put me at ease immediate, he's such a sweet person, shared plenty of makeup tips with me, and how he truly felt about the beauty industry.

It has been a long time since i met someone with a real temperament, he's a "i-dare-you" sweetie, so cute with his "I don't give-a-F***-if you-don't like-what-I've-said" behaviour. That is such an endearing trait. Come on, do we seriously need to have 98% of the world population behaving like they have been programmed to become Mr/Miss Congeniality?

Do visit his blog at http://makeupbanter.blogspot.com/ , he is so generous with the makeup application techniques, and plenty of product reviews. Top recommendation. Let me know if you need his contact number, he does makeup for all various events, have a look at his portfolio at www.flickr.com/photos/yeo_1978.

Let's digress a bit, Larry told me Asians are supposed to have rounder/fuller face, because of the fatty tissues beneath the skin, but God is fair, as Asians tend to age slower cause of them as well. So Chubby Face aka Nian Yuan Yuan is actually a good thing for me =).

Once the makeup and hair done, then comes the scary part. I can't freeze that smile (Hey, i already said i can't smile de) *fAint* It was so challenging for the 2 photographers, one of them kept saying "I don't believe there is anyone who can't smile". Luckily they are patience enough, and Larry the supermodel together with the rest, kept encouraging me. In the end, I'm thankful that it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. The official poster will be out in November, i hope the end product turns out all right *cross fingers*

Thanks LWC for offering me this once in a lifetime chance to do this photo shot (thanks to my bosses too). Superbly grateful to Larry for making me a pretty princess, and a thousand apologizes to the photography crew, I'm really not an easy object to shoot (oh wow, that doesn't sound right, doesn't it?) muahahah...
