1gnite Endless Summer/Ncagen Runway; Swagging Round the Poolside.

Fashion ♥

W Hotel Singapore, Sentosa Cove celebrated their 1st Anniversary with 1gnite Your Sound - Endless Summer recently, featuring DJs Danny Fry, Marlon Tulaszewski, Mr. Has Sidik and Chris B. bringing you non-stop party music till 8pm!

We got into our allocated studio/waiting room upon reaching W Hotel by the shuttle bus from Vivocity (outside J Pot) and two plates of yummy sandwiches were sitting right at the table waiting for us! Majority of us haven't had our breakfast, so those sandwiches were really tempting! You can see from the photo who the hungry greedy ones were! Lol

Well, none of us had makeup on and thus the sunglasses never leaves our face! Haha!

Isn't the pool side beautiful?

It was really humid and HOT, like seriously H.O.T!! There and then, I had a really strong urge to jump and soak myself in that cool looking lovely pool!

Finally! It's time for briefing, so we'll know what to expect later during the runway show!

Here we are checking the runway location out, before doing a walk through.

Guess who?

That's Shona! I couldn't help myself but to snap a photo cause.. 

She was walking really cooly under the crazy hot sun, it felt like a commercial.

It's time for Makeup!

And here's my makeup for the show.

Here I am, getting my hair done! =)

Right. So, who and what are we modeling for?

None other then, Ncagen!

That's my outfit for the show, and i have to say..

I really LOVE the necklace from Rosso Prezioso (Italy) that's round my neck!

Stylish, Classy and Beautiful!! ♥

Most of them are mothers! And they are really hot mamas! =)

It was quite an experience all together once again, meeting new friends while catching up with "old" ones! It was great seeing the same familiar bunch of girls from Fashion in a City once again and having to do the runway together again! =)

Of course, because the crazy heat. How could we forget a little after party to celebrate an awesome wrap for the evening? It's time to PARTYYYYY~

We had a bottle of champagne for ourselves, thanks to W Hotel and Danlin for running around to get us drinks!

Last but not least, I'll like to thank the ones who were always present for my every show (be it in theatre, photoshoots, filming or runway). Always supporting, encouraging and cheering me from the sidelines! (Well, the dad isn't in the photo cause he was the one snapping the photo! He couldn't take his hands off my camera. Haha) Love them both! ♥

That's to sum up my day at W Hotel with 1gnite Endless Summer!

And till the next fashion show!

ciao.

Till then.
xoxo.

I wasn't really in the best spot for snapping my camera away so thank goodness for awesome friends with better photos and pretty amazing view! Haha!

Noel Caleb Model Search 2

Fashion ♥

I'm back with Round 2 of Noel Caleb's Model Search 2013 at The Co.!

After passing the selection, here i am back again with my second round of training while Noel Caleb had another round of casting selection for new aspiring models!

It was another great evening spent making new friends and this time round, my buddy and fellow blogger, Zerika came along to cheer me on! (aww.. so touched!!) Thanks to her, i've managed to get quite a number of photos, definitely more then the previous. Besides that, was happy to see vlog blogger Luinfaniel again!

The evening started with Noel Caleb's founder, Eileen who gave us a heads up into the fashion show that is going to be held at Avalon on the 29th of June. More details were being brief to us in preparation for this amazing event that will be held in 2 weeks! *(Details about the event are stated at the bottom)

There were definitely more girls turning up for the second round of casting that evening, including the ones who have been selected. I'm really looking forward to this event as well as the memories i'll be making through this journey.

No other then Miss Jamie Lim, winner of New Paper New Face 2011 who was present to train the models in their catwalk. Giving tips and correcting us the proper way of a catwalk (which i have all forgotten over the years. hurhur).

So, that's me doing the catwalk. I had my arms swinging everywhere beyond control that night. For once, after so long i actually felt really nervous! It's been a long while since i've had that many pairs of eyes staring at me. It felt good yet a little weird. And all my brains could think of was.. events of mishaps that could take place, like tripping over my heels and falling flat on my face and such. How imaginative my brain was at that moment that i couldn't keep my composure. Sigh.

Here's Jamie, giving me tips while correcting my errors. Ooops! It's back to basics (:

Try again! This time, i had slightly better control of my arms. It's interesting how slight adjustments to your body could make everything look different. There's definitely more to learn. So much so for the love of watching fashion shows. Doing and watching is definitely two different thing.

Next up, was photography. Fashion photographer Michel Tay was our photographer for the night. In front of a camera lens, everyone would always want to look good. I'm really curious how the photo turned out inside Michel's DSLR though. Can't wait to check the photos out too, if there's ever a possibility.

Having to come up with poses within seconds can be pretty nerve wrecking. Sometimes, your mind goes blank, while at times you wonder if you will look really odd with that pose. Whatever it is, it is free and easy, space is given for you to explore! It's definitely smack right fun! (:

Photos taken with Casio Exilim EX-ZR700.

And to end off the night and training, here's a group photo of the lovely girls and uprising aspiring models of Noel Caleb's upcoming Fashion Show! Come support us, cheer us on and have an awesome evening spent at Avalon! (:

Banana Republic Fashion Show

Thanks to Poach Mag, I got an opportunity to attend Banana Republic Fashion Show held at MBS in conjunction to Women's Fashion Week 2012! And of course, I brought along my closest buddy Zerika (Check out her blog -> http://zerika-says.blogspot.sg) to tag along with me. 

Just incase you've not heard of Banana Republic, here's a little inside about them.

At the waiting area, before the fashion show started. Lovely blue lightings gives a pretty romantic starry night kind of atmosphere, doesn't it?

Here we are, as usual snapping away while waiting! The little munchies were really good! I had the cheese lollipop which melts in your mouth! yuuummmssss.. Besides the little munches, we met other bloggers like Terrence and Andrew too! (:

And the fashion show starts..

This was one of the fastest fashion show I've ever attended. Fast & Furious! The fashion show lasted about 30 minutes. Even the models breezed through their catwalk too fast for me to capture on camera. Posted are the best photos after filtering a couple of blurred ones. Well, on second thoughts may be my camera's shutter is just slow. haha!

Then again, I love watching fashion shows and I'm glad I was given this opportunity though short, but a couple of clothes caught my eye. There and then, I wished I was millionaire so I could just walk in and buy the clothes off the shelves right after the show. Besides the clothes, I loved watching the models catwalk down the runway. They look stunning don't they?
