Fun first photoshoot!

Hey pple! I'm finally well and feeling back to normal! Thank you so much for all your prayers :) I must say it feels great not to be sick.. I had caught a flu bug last sat and was down with fever. After seeing the doc and taking the medicine, I thought I recovered after 3 days of rest. So it's back to work on wed(btw i quitted. It went smoothly and i even got to talk to the boss abt Christ! Praise God!) and out with spenz for his goodbye lunch(he's going to backpack around europe for 1 month! lucky guy..)on thurs. Then I received yixin and raymond's sms saying there's gonna be a cell outing on fri and i was like yay! It's gonna be fun! I'm so looking forward to it and lo and behold, I managed to come down with fever again on the next day. It was quite scary cos my chest area felt so constricted and i couldn't really breathe normal deep breathes. Then all the way to the doc i felt like fainting..and puking.. beacuse of the fever i guess..luckily the doc's clinic was at the mrt station so it's just a 5 min walk across. I gotta thank my sis for being with me.. I was quite sure i'm gonna faint halfway.. I was so weak! Anyway i got to the doc's clinic and then had to wait for like 5 pple before it's my turn. The doc was quite efficient. After hearing all my symptoms and listening to my heartbeat he promptly diagnosed it as a mild case of bronchitis and prescibed antibiotics for me. So there.. here's another 4 types of medicine to add to the 4 that was prescribed last week.. a total of 8. I dun think I've been this sick in such a short span of time before.. well the pills and prayers worked like miracle and I was well by today. Well enuff to call evogue and say i'll be able to make it for my photoshoot!

The shoot today got off to a rocky start when the pple there couldn't find suitable tops and bottoms for me.. We had to mix and match from the clothes i brought there to produce 4 looks; sporty, smartcasual, evening wear and executive. Not an easy task huh.. despite me bringing a whole lot of clothes there. Well finally we managed to get together the outfits and i'm off to having my face made up and my hair done. I must say the make-up artist, Janice, is really good. She's from Female. I was really satisfied with both looks she gave me.. and she was the one who styled my hair too. Afetr that is on to kelvin the photographer to direct the shoot. Oh i found out that he's from ntu too.. he studied CEE and went to work 1 year before deciding to follow his interest and become a professional photographer. He works for some renowned magazine in s'pore too.. Shape i think..yeap.. anyway he makes me feel comfortable posing for the shoot, which was impt because we took abt 3 hours in total and every shot has to appear natural. In the meantime the photos are still with them waiting to be developed.. and with touch ups it'll take at least 1-2 mths before i can get my portfolio. As for me.. I'm satisfied and relieved at how the photoshoot turned out. A lot of things could have gone wrong but didn't. I'm happy at the final result. One of my fav pose in the shoot was of me holding a make-up compact in one hand and a brush in another and looking to be dollying myself up. Really cool..haha.. and cute.. i hope christine choses that one so that i can show you guys! As now.. it's really a pity to take of the pretty make-up and hair-do without some photos as rememberence of my fun first photoshoot.. so here goes!
