| Gong Xi Fa Cai!! I had a wonderful Chinese year break back at hometown.
Best time to relax mind and soul (and tummy). I pay tribute to the people
who need to work during the holiday seasons! You people rocks,
and you know who you are 
I have got an email from a friend last week, quite an interesting read.
Read with an open mind lah.

A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City ,
where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions
at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value
of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may
choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next
floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first
floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
'That's nice', she thinks, 'but I want more.'
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking
and Help With Housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help
with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor.
This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank
you for shopping at the Husband Store.
PLEASE NOTE:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store
just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.

| 2007 is history. Welcome 2008!
My mobile phone's SMS inbox was flooded with SMSes from 4pm new year eve till the new year day 6pm. Thanks for the messages friends, and you have just made the telco richer muahahahh..
We are getting lazier in recent years, we used to send greeting cards and now, everything is just a few press of buttons away, of course it is way cheaper then sending cards with postage stamps. I miss those days. SMS greeting is just as great. But my friends, do include your name in your spam message, so I know who you are, just like signing off a greeting card (if your name is not in my phonebook for certain reason  )
In my opinion, of all the SMS received, this is the best one so far, from Steve Koh. It reads:
Some of the best moments in life :>
- Lying in the bed listening to the rain outside.
- A long drive on a calm road.
- Finding money in your old jeans just when you need it.
- Giggling over silly jokes.
- Having a friend to laugh and cry with.
- Getting a hug from someone who loves you.
- The moment your eyes fill with tears after a big laugh.
Wishing you these moments in your life always.. =)
Have a fabulous 2008!
May 2008 is a much better years to all of my friends! Happy New Year.

| Last Friday (16th Nov 07), I was working with Christina Ng
again to update her modeling portfolio. The last time I photographed her
was in Aug 2006. Christina's popularity in the print and TV media gained
momentum tremendously in the recent 2 years since she began modeling. I
still remember 2 years ago she called me with a sad tone telling me stories about some
senior models giving her discouragement in this highly competitive
industry. Well, looks like she is doing pretty well today!
In this blog entry, I am showing you some pictures that I personally like (may be
different from the one she like), I call it a different point of view
:D However, you could still check out her site for some more realistic and
composed pictures hehe..
...and oh yes, I need to thank my professional make-up artist, Taisu whom I have work with several projects. Above: Christina getting ready for showdown.
Every model need some beauty shots. These shots are to showcase your facial features, full frontal, left and right side views, smiling and serious look. Normally these kinda shots are clean cut.
One of my favourite style. She told me that the red dress was her mum's (in the 80's from Japan) and we wanted to do something nostalgic, so the dress was just perfect.
I like the mysterious feel to this picture. her face was halfway out from the lacey curtains.
Lashed and makeup design by Taisu.
Mono contrast. Simplicity sometime just works fine.
Alrite, that's all for now. If you have some ideas, do drop me some comments. :D
