Thank you so much for your support and feedback thus far, and we are especially happy when we see return customers (:

Dear Pei Si,

I have finished reading the draft. It was in general very well written and organized. Just a few small points that you want to consider. I have written notes on the hard copy which I left on your desk area. I can also go over it with you briefly on Monday.

Me: Hi, may I know what time is the Health Assessment Centre open until today?
Staff: Err... Let me check.

(2 minutes later)

Staff: Open until 2.30pm.
Me: 2.30pm? Er, I was acutally informed to collect my medical report any time from 2pm to 4pm. I won't be able to collect it if I reach there later than 2.30pm??

Staff: Err.... Because we have an emergency meeting today.
Me: Huh? So will the centre still open any time after 2.30pm?

Staff: Oh yes, we will come back and open.
Me: Oh great, so what time will you all come back and open?

Staff: Err... no. No open.
Me: Nvm, can you put me through to any other of your colleague please?

Staff: Err... put?
Me: (@#%$#$%) Can you transfer my call to another colleague?

Staff: Ok, can.

And she transferred my call to the wards department. @#%#$^%^

Weeeeee!!!

2010-06-24T22:40:00.002+08:00

Made a trip to ION last Saturday to select our shoes from Mitju!

Their store at ION is a pretty large retail outlet as compared to the one I've seen at Jurong Point! And I really love the interior furnishing and layout of their store, very clean design and really spacious :D

I was really looking forward to that day! Had liaised with Juliana from Mitju that we would be choosing 5 pairs of shoes. But from the moment we stepped into the store, I wished I could have the beautiful clutches and necklaces too!

And finally got home with 5 pairs of shoes from Mitju to pair with our clothes for the next shoot!

Sponsorship from MYnt-shop!

2010-06-03T01:00:00.002+08:00

Post edited with more pictures! :D - 03/06/2010

Met up with Noi from MYnt-shop yesterday evening to collect some accessories which they have so kindly sponsored us!

And we've used for our shoot just now! Had loads of fun matching and playing around with the accessories :D

MYnt-shop started DIY-ing trinkets and accessories in 2006, which means they have been around for 4 years! I think the fact that they have been updating pretty frequently shows how passionate they about their lil' biz (: Definitely a shop you can trust!

These lovely items from MYnt-shop so highly sought after that they were sold out within minutes of their launch so you've really got to have fast fingers!

Most of their items are available in one piece only and exclusive so you'll never find them anywhere else :D They also provide customisation! All at very affordable prices $_$

Psst psst, MYnt-shop is now having their GSS sale! Wheeee!!! Hop over to MYnt-shop now :D

My answer to why I'm content with a 1.8K salary

2010-05-28T10:14:00.002+08:00

Money. Life. Meaningful.

I googled the above for images and this came out.

Hmm, think it's quite true (:

Photoshoot - behind the scenes!

2010-05-26T21:23:00.001+08:00

Some behind the scenes photos from last week's photo shoot! Yirong wasn't feeling well but she still made her way down to help us with the modelling... felt so bad cos I could see she's tired from the beginning :( But still, the shoot went well and we managed to wrap it up in 2 hours (:

The studio's almost an hour's journey away from our house, and we always have to lug our outfits and accessories to the studio. But we've never thought to cabbing down! Lol, so niao right :D

First Photoshoot!

2010-05-11T22:14:00.031+08:00

Went for our very first shoot with Mel at Joo Chiat and I must say it was really very fun! Lugged quite few bags of clothes, make-up and accessories over and we ended up creating a huge mess in the changing room at the studio.

Haha, and Mel lost her way again as usual! But thankfully she still manage to reach there in time for us to start the shoot as scheduled (: And she came bags of shoes and accessories to match with our outfits! So much more than what we asked her to bring (: THANKS MEL!

Turned out that our camera couldn't suit the studio equipment, so we rented a dslr from them. It's the first time Deon tries photography of any kind we both had a pleasant surprise when we saw how the photos turn out (: Just a bit too overexposed and got abit of glare (I dunno the real terms to use) but I think the photos are really good for a first-timer! KUDOS TO DEON :D

Wanted to take some behind-the-scenes photos to share, but I left my phone at home while rushing to the studio :( Will do so next time then, look out for our preview coming up soon!
