Lovaholic went back to SPH on 30th May 2008 (Friday), almost a year later after the New Paper New Face 2007 to help out in the shoot for the Great Singapore Sale (GSS) segment in The New Paper, to be publish on the 26th June 2008. Rekindling the great experience that I received during the contest. (.n_n.)
Arrived around 11am at SPH. Can't really remember when was the last time I need to report to Wee Teck at SPH... I was telling myself "die die" cannot be late as Wee Teck hates latecomers.
Some of the New Face gals (Li Jia, Hamizah, Anna, Kamsin, Jannah and Lovaholic) were called up on different days to help for the special report for GSS. Mine was the last session. I was supposed to pair up with Jannah but she had overslept and I missed the chance to meet her... I miss you, Jannah dear!!! The very careless me lost her number (plus some other gals' too)!!! *Stabbing herself for the carelessness!!!*
Preparations!!!Settled down real fast to do my hair by the Shunji Matsuo International Director (Stylist), Hisato san with his cute assistant, Boon. It was really a honor to have my hair done by a Japanese and I adore Japanese hairstyles!!! Sadly, I didn't managed to catch him for a snap thou... (@_@)
For makeup, it was done by my favourite MAC Creative Artisit, Beno Lim. He gave me a great face during New Face!!! *Heartfelt Gratitude!* Till now, I think Beno is the only one that can give me the makeup that I'm satisfy with. Most of the makeup artists, either give me the wrong shade of foundation (I'm kinda pale to find the right tone) or conceals my dark eye circles till my eyes disappear!!! *Flaming!!!*
First makeup was with fierce wine red lipstick! I love how it appears on the pictures. Red lippy was such a chore during SQ days! It never fails to stain my teeth and it look so auntish then! *Shivers*
With Beno from MAC, my fave makeup artist! (^_^)
Working with Child Models!My 3rd time working with Child Models!!! This time I'm a "young" mum with 3 kids (2 girls + 1 boy)!!! I think I am having this "Mumsy" look as recently all my shoots (for ads and such) I need to be a Mum... *Urgh!* I think Motherhood Magazine & etc gonna be my base soon... I hope not! *Fingers crossed*
Child models are cute to work with most of the times. Basically, if they have their stomach filled and is happy that day, it will be done fast.
Celine "My eldest child"!!! She's one of the main cast for MediaCorp Channel 8 kid programme "Little Red Dancing Shoes" as Hui Hui. Catch her on TV every Sunday 10.30am!
Also, she's Little Miss Cinderella Singapore!!!

Angelia's Cute boy, Aidan!!! He's so full of energy!
Aidan had a fall after "beating" Wee Teck!!! He was all well and un-hurt.
Camera and Lights! READY?! Actions!The photographer for that day was Gavin. Met him a few times during New Face and other events. He was really nice and patience in giving me the directions to pose. Kind enough to give me advices plus letting me view the shoots. Thank you, Gavin!!! *Flowers for you!*
1st shoot was for the series of hand accessories displaying the unique pieces from Metropolitans Museum shop. I think I'm gonna sucks at that pic thou.... Didn't manage to get a snap for it :(
2nd Shoot was done outdoor with the 3 cute kids. I'm in slightly oversized Liz Claiborne's Orange-red dress, that "ages" me, carrying lotsa shopping bags which pratically is EMPTY!!! The warmth from the Sun some how hinders the progess for this picture as the kids need to run up and down many times for a perfect picture.
3rd (Final) Shoot was a solo snap in another slightly oversized Liz Claiborne's Green Printed Dress with a "present"!!! So my lovables can imagine how old I gonna look on the spread?! Still its a pretty dress! (^_^)
Aidan giving his "Attention" when Angelia asked to. So cute!! (^_^)
Touching up with my hair with the help of Boon.
