on the topic of bad habits, i've come to realise that i've aother very bad habit.  i am somehow incredibly fond of typing smses halfway and not sending them out, thinking that i've sent them out. then the messages end up as extremely delayed replies - if i even do send them out in the end. sometimes they're so delayed i find no point in sending them out, so i end up not replying the sender. ooops. :x

i promise to correct this bad habit of mine! 

now for the bad news. edwin was just telling me today about the photo shoot pics. yeah i think the shots with me inside turned out pretty bad, cos of my horrid 'worried' expression that just couldn't be wiped off my face that day. sighh. i feel bad. feel sorta like a let down - to the marketing & photo shoot team (if they've to use the 'ugly' photos), and also my partner for that day. i mean he was good with the expression and all - he had the intense look, the focused eyes. my eyes on the other hand, told a different story; they looked worried and maybe a little blank too at the same time..arghh how i wish i felt more at ease and confident abt myself that day. i guess i was feeling to self-conscious then :(

felt a lil sickly today cos i kept sneezing throughout the day...i think i got the bug from my sis or dad! :/ now all of us are a little sick. we better get well before our europe trip though! yeah so today was sort of wasted with sleeping and more sleeping. omg i feel like a pig. haha.

sighh i'm going for FTT practice tomorrow. but the FTT book is utterly BORING. can't get past the basic driving techniques bit...

i just checked out the dance schedules for this dec hol, and i found out to my horror that i'll be missing a total of 6 practices! (including the student choreo prac.) this is terrrible. ahhh..i'll be busy catching up when i get back from europe!

boohoo i miss my pals. siqi! cherlyn! chien wei! i miss u all! we MUST meet up in late dec! :)

actually i wanted to post this yesterday but there was something wrong with blogger.com

anyway i'm dead tired right now after a WHOLE day spent doing photo shoots. 8am to 6.30pm. incredible! i never knew that doing photo shoots can be so tiring. and i never knew that doing a shot with only our legs in the frame can require 45 minutes to get right. i know how models feel like now. and how photographers go about doing their stuff now. not easy jobs man, haha. i always thought models had fairly simple jobs of posing and looking pretty..but i guess posing and looking good isn't that simple after all! especially if you can't smile. i'm so used to smiling in dance photo shoots, so when i'm asked not to smile, i don't know what expression to do haha. i ended up with a slightly worried expression. terrible :/ i think it's partly cos i wasn't feeling too comfortable with my costume, especially during the initial part of the photo shoot. oh, and of course i wasn't used to doing the kind of 'sultry' poses which we were asked to do. took some time to warm up to that. felt much better after lunch and a power nap though :) i was only half-awake during the earlier part of the day having not had sufficient sleep yesterday night. haha actually in comparison to some of the rest like manfred and edwin, i had more than enough sleep. but that's not the point.

anyway, the make up team was grreat :) they were very supportive. in fact everyone who was there and didn't model all helped in some way or another. ahh i really hope the posters turn up well! :) the photographers were good too..they were patient throughout the whole shoot and apparently 4 photographers came down for the price of one! i'm extremely glad that all of us survived the gruelling 10.5 hours of taking picture-perfect (ok, maybe not that perfect) shots. phew!

oh yeah angeline and i thought the photo shoot was a bit like a mini singapore heritage tour, haha! we went to several scenic locations for the shoots. it was pretty cool :) never knew some of those places existed in spore, seriously!

ok i'm really sleepy...bye!

promise to update more frequently now that exams are over :)
