This year, Judges Andre Fuentes and Meredith Kerr as well as Guest Judge Kelly Manning will be present not only to crown the winners, but also to show off a few moves of their own!!!

I WANNA SEE!!! It's almost like watching a free part of a concert show haha. Yeah, i know a concert is where people sing. But most of the time a show won't be complete without dancers!!!

When i look at a performance, i sometimes notice the dancers around the singer or behind the singers and i am VERY impressed that most of the time, they dance with much more passion and energy and force than the singer lolol. Fair enough though, that's why the singer is a singer and the dancer is a dancer.

And also ah, sometimes when i look at the dancer's face, actually they quite chio one leh!!!! Haha. And then it makes me think, WHY are they not the star!!! And that if i am also chio, and if i can dance the steps better, i wanna be standing in the centre lah!!! I don't wanna be dancing at the back!

But i guess this is why they are call professional dancers!!!

They dance for passion and love for the moves and grooves. And to make the whole show more action-packed and phenomenal. And i think for that, these ladies deserves lotsa credit!

If you're thinking of joining the competition already, you might wanna look at pictures of past year's ABCD here. See for yourself some of the best moves and prepare yourself on what to expect!

Last year’s winners, The FOS (Crew) and Enitya Rosalina (Solo) walked home with cash prizes, a brand new camera as well as the titles of All-Babes Cineleisure Dance (ABCD) Battle 2011 Champions!

They are the ones who keep sending me new clothes and spoiling me lol ^.^ To a point i only wear my clothes and appear in pictures once or twice max for each outfit. I mean i still wear them, but i just don't take pictures with them more than twice. Okay except the shorts Wendy gave me =X Lolol. I TRY not to repeat my clothes.

Even when i have so much clothes, i still complain about having no clothes to wear sometimes. It's a girl thing. I am confident many of you (especially girls) face the same problem.

I want

Every single time i pass by big houses, i ask myself (or Josh, if he's with me), "How do they do it?"

How do they afford it?

I figured they must be doctors, lawyers, or business-owners.

I don't think anyone of them afford the house by being a blogger so i do see why even i would think it's a bit (a lot lolol) far-fetch for me to want to own a big house lol. A big landed house.

But i don't know how to describe this feeling. This feeling that tells me that i just will.

Becox i want it, a lot.

It's strange.

And today Josh told Tiffany (our dog =_=) that she is very cute and that he will work hard so she can stay in a big house.

Defug, this guy never told me such romantic stuff ever before?!

Lololol.

Okay but i think if Tiffany gets to stay in the big house, i can't be left out right? I don't mind being the free-loader hahaha. 托你的福, Tiffany. Lol.

Anyway. Recent weeks, this idea keep shouting out to me.

This idea about dreams.

Even before watching Katy Perry(Part of Me) movie, i keep seeing movies/ quotes that somehow pops up to me, asking people to follow their dreams. And then after the movie i just feel like, oh man, i should have been a singer. Lolol. Had anyone told me when i young, how important dreams are.

And like after the movie Sophie, Wendy, Yutaki all also were like "LET'S FORM A BAND!" Lolol. "Let's all be singers!!!" So i guess maybe everyone's dream is to be a superstarrrrr. Haha.

Now i have to rush out of the house and i can't keep writing but i just wanna share about what i've been thinking. Dreams. All the dreams you ever built, you can make them come true, i think?

Last time my dream is to be a singer. I don't know what happened.

I aged i think. Lololol.

And then since young, i wanna be a shopowner. That's actually pretty easy to happen if i want to but i want to do it with people i trust. So that should happen sometime next time.

And then i also wanna be staying in big landed house.

If you don't believe in dreams, then just believe in what you want.

I want this, and i want that. And all of them eventually come to me, after one incident or another, they all do. So good luck to you and me. You never know, 5 years down the road i might be one of the many millionaires in Singapore. Lolol. Second blogger to become a millionaire. First should be Wendy cox she should be picking up a bag of diamond pretty soon, if her visualisation skill is good.

I see me, living a super swanky life.

But i mean, look at me. Do YOU think that can happen? I am just curious of how people think about me being super duper rich hahaha. I find that alone is funny, me being rich. Like, how do i spend all the money? $3 tops? $5 dresses? I'm not sure man. I think I have to spend more to earn more!!!

Getting very incoherent now. So much thoughts @.@ Bye!

QWeekly - Events

Went for two events this week!

One of it is a Furby event with Wendy and Huiwen ^.^

If you don't know what a Furby is, you're probably really young. Lolol. Good for you.

Furby was the "IT" toy!!! I've always wanted one as a kid!!! And now it's back! And i was given a black Furby. Lolol. Imagine that. Cox i don't have picture of the new 2012 edition Furby in black.

The white one is super princessy and pretty yes?!

Them Furbies hanging out and singing and dancing. YES. They do all that. Talk to you, and react to your actions and the things you say. These 2012 Furbies even has iPhone app on their own, which allows you to create your own food and feed them and learn their language!!! =O Look out for it!

Wendy, Huiwen and i ^.^

Next event, YSL. As mentioned in the previous post, thanks to Yutaki for the invite ^.^

This is just a small part of the counters YSL set up for their guest to play with their skincare, make up and fragrance line. So luxurious one!!! One of the most generously-organised event i've been to!!! With great canapes and champagne with fresh strawberries being served all round!

Yutaki, Wendy, me and Sophie ^.^

And one more! Everybody keep nagging about me my dress that day. Say it's very crumpled. If i never tell you, you got notice meh? Lolol. My shoes are from Jipaban by the way!!!

I played with their eyepencil and lip stain and blusher and this is the end result. I thought i look prettier than with my original makeup already!!!

Like this ^.^

But then Wendy was like "I DIE ALSO WANNA CONCEAL YOUR PIMPLE SCAR" Lolol. So she went on to do it and then got carried away and started redo my blusher and eyeliner and lip etc.

She put blusher that time ask me "After this you are going home right?"

I'm thinking OMG CAO WENDY CONFIRM IS MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A CLOWN NOW!!! Lolol. That's why she'd think it's okay since i'm heading home after the event, so no one will see!

But mei you lah, she very yong xin de colour my face. Lol.

A lot is going on here. Sophie did the most epic face i don't wanna post it cox it's just too... Very bad. Lolol. Wendy is doing my makeup and i am being made up and Yutaki is capturing the moment.

Wendy, me and Sophie ^.^

She say she can go be a makeup artist already. Lolol. Go lor. I am happy to be her first satisfied client who didn't pay her lol. I really loved the way she drew my eyeliner thou!!! Xie lah~

YSL will be opening their first shop in Singapore! At ION, in September. So do look out for it! I don't have to rave about the superior quality of their products becox you should already know. Lol.

As you read this i should be on my way back from KL with my dad and mum and nephew.

Alright bye~ Two more camho shots of myself =D

Voh-gew

I meant to say Vogue.

Before you release the devil in you to plan a mocking comment, lolol, i know it's pronounced "Vog" with a silent "gue" lol. The first time i ever came across this word was cox i saw it on the magazine VOGUE.

That's not very long ago thou. About 7 years ago. I think it's Josh who told me how to pronounce it. Lolol. Cox i think i indeed, did pronounced it as Voh-Gew. LOL. I hope he knew back then what kind of trouble he was getting himself into by choosing to date me. Lolol.

Anyway, this post has no meaning.

It's just to show off my pictures and to earn some praises. Lolol. What's new?

Inspired by the YSL cover girl i went home after a YSL event, touch up some red lipstick, put on the only black top i can find in my wardrobe and make-do for these pictures.

This is one of their visuals at the event.

As you can see, i don't have blonde hair, and no deep-set eyes but STILL, i try. Lolol. Actually totally don't look like lah. But when i was at the event i thought this getup looks interesting becox the model had her eyebrows shaved. Lolol. Later i was told by Yutaki and Wendy that she didn't and that maybe i am blind. Lolol. Maybe.

Will share more about the YSL event but you can hold your breathe for the FIRST and ONLY YSL shop to be opened at ION in September!!! Lotsa people are excited!

Zhuai. Wendy help me draw the eyeliner one ^.^ Hen mei right! Thank you, Wendy!!!

Hands up = Supermodel

Headache = Supermodel

❤ ❤ ❤

❤ ❤ ❤

All the YSL products the organizer very nicely prep for every guest! Love love love!!! LOVE the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat!!! It's a corrector/ illuminator pen. Something like a concealer but it brightens up that area at the same time. I blogged about it before! Used by a makeup artist who did my makeup! It's awesome lah!! Especially for covering dark eye circles if you have!

Thank you YSL! Thanks to Yutaki for the invite ^.^ Tata!

Making-of the wedding

So yes, another wedding update.

Everyone around me has asked me the same question, "How's your wedding preperation?"

I always only have one same answer.

"Okay lor. Nothing much to do. My wedding planner from Eternally Yours takes very good care of everything. I just have to appear when she ask me to" Lolol. It's true thou! I really have nothing to worry about for the wedding preparation. Clarice helps me settle everything pertaining to the wedding. I just have to worry about looking good. Haha ^.^

And i've ask my hair sponsor Cleo Hair and Make to do my hair for the wedding. And they suggest i go back whenever i am free to do hair treatment so there i go again! =DDD
