Juli’s final practical and photoi esplanade trip

Jurong girl at heart. The beautiful illumination from the HDB blocks reflected on Jurong Lakeside.

I had to rest the entire afternoon, I was completely exhausted after thursday night drama with the company, friday afternoon fiasco then night class and spending the day at Juli’s final make up practical and then spending today’s afternoon at the esplanade photoshoot. I could hardly keep my eyes open while talking to Cart.

Anyways, Saturday, Juli’s final make up practical. It was so exciting for me, I remember accompanying Juli to register at cosmoprof and I remember her telling me about how she had to rush from work in a cab every Tuesday and Thursday for her course and now its already her final practical. How quickly the months go by. I’m sure that she’ll feel a change starting next week with no classes.

I dropped by Paradiz Center at Dhoby Ghaut at about 11am and I already saw Juli working on a model. She looked busy and focused at the task at hand.

Juli introduced me to her, Siti was her name. They met while they were in Thailand trip. Siti looked at me and said that I looked very familliar. Were you from Jurong Mendaki when you were primary six? She asked me. I stared at her and wondered how she knew. Its me! We were classmates then. And we chatted about how were were the only girls in a class full of boys, our tutor, Ms Fauziah that we loved so much. She said that I was very tall and thin then. I dont know where I kept the group picture of us though but I only found this.

Thats Siti on the extreme right, me (woah, was I really *that* skinny?) and one unknown guy.

Anyhow, after a couple of minutes, Juli was done! And here is how Siti looked like afterwards

Isnt she pretty? I love the day makeup done on her. One thing about Malay bridal make up which I wasnt fond of is how thickly slapped on it was, making the bride looking unnatural. This looked lovely to me.

Then it was Hema’s turn

Beautiful, Beautiful! I love it.

There were alot of activity in the Cosmoprof room with alot of other graduates doing their make up too. When the models are done being made up, there were supposed to queue up for the professional studio photographer for the student’s portfolio.

There were also things that made me chuckle:

This is the makeup artist for the creative makeup. One of her models looked like he was violently punched and the other aged. It was just too funny to see them role playing as if they were father and son. The father a violent man and the poor abused son.

This lady here is a runaway bride. See her running shoes and jeans. All ready to run away from the altar!

Hahaha!!!

Little did Ali Baba realise of his fate to marry the deranged eccentric

We ended at about 6pm or so. It was tiring day for me, I am sure that Juli felt more exhausted than I was. But I was really proud of her and I know that we would do well.

Sunday

I kind of overslept and went about half an hour late to the PhotoI field trip. I tried out the Lenses that was sponsored by Tamron and I love it! Pity that I could only use it for an hour. And I couldnt try out every one of the different lenses due to the large tunrout.

I am very impressed by the Af18-200mm zoom lens. It had a large range and shoots really fast! Here are a few unedited shots (mainly because I’d like to complete this blog asap and rest)

cant you let me eat in peace, marina?

The magnificent Durian

ROCK ON!

Goodness … 2.30am already! I’m going to bed already. Goodnight!

Ahem just one more picture since I’m egocentric :P
