I had a little getaway staycation at the most cool boutique
hotel recently, with the raise of the Instagram hipsters, this
hotel is the all time favorite by all of them! Lol. The theme
of the hotel is minimalist, white and a lot of black spaces
for the hipster to crop them into their Instagram! Lol. The
team at Lloyd’s inn gave me the sky room, which was
perfect for a two days bath tub soaking getaway. I was
literally in the bath tub for hours after hours! Even the last
night Nich came to the hotel with booze, I got drunk,
I was in the bath tub too.

I simply love the entire atmosphere at the hotel, although it’s
fully booked, but the guest at the hotel wasn’t noise or active
at all, me, sandy and Wendy had the dipping pool all by
ourselves in the afternoon and night. It was such pleasure
experience at the hotel, it feels like I m actually at overseas,
a quiet place to getaway from all noise.

I go along with the theme of the hotel I shoot a series of photo
inspired by all the hipster photos on lloyd’s Inn Instagram!
The white, simple, and good framing photos!

The location was also really awesome, there’s a convenient

store, super market, drugs store and many restaurants at
WALKING DISTANCE. Yes I hate walking, so when I say it’s
walking distance it’s really super near. And it’s also at town
area, going to orchard is like with 5-8 mins by taxi!

If you are looking for a couple getaway, the sky room is perfect,

simple yet very romantic, the even at night the dipping area
gave me and my friends full privacy, there’s no one there!

Hello!!
Last month I was invited as the special guest for the MDIS
open house event!! The big day finally arrived and I
was really excited! I was really proud and honoured to be
part of such big event, it was truly an eye opener as
I got to see and know more of fashion design during the
event!

Rachel and I arrived at the School of Fashion and Design in
MDIS campus that afternoon, we were warmly welcomed
by all the fashion students, they introduced us their
works and explained how they produce their clothing
and the process of designing.

It was very interesting as we got to know how
their work developed from scattered
ideas into an art piece that you could wear!

The main segment of the open house event was a workshop
involving tee-shirt manipulation!

YES, with this ordinary and plain black tees…
The fashion design students would show and teach everyone
how they could use these tees and revamp them into
interesting and pretty clothing or even full length dresses!!

I teamed up with 3 other students, I told them
I wanted to do something with a heart shape… And they
said… “No problem!” Lol. So we started working on the tees!

After a while of cutting, pinning up here and there, tying up and
down… BAM!!!!! They made a dress out of the tees!!! I was
actually expecting a tee with the heart shape hole at the back..
But how crazy talented and creative these young people
were!! I was so proud of them and really amused by their
ability to transform something ordinary into a piece of wearable
art!

The later part of the event was me being a stylist… Haha.
I wasn’t really confident, because usually I only play dress
up with my clothes and during the open house I had to be
dressing up girls! Thankfully I had some help from the lecturer
of the fashion school! He was really really helpful and
experienced!

The little girls who came down to see me, I took them as my
models to dress them up with all the clothes that were sponsored
by Bershka, Pull&Bear and Stradivarius! I hope they like the way
I dress them… Lol!

Last month it was a big a month for my blogging agency
Nuffnang!! They turn 8!! Amazing isn’t it? A company that
come this far. The best of all, Nuffnang is still the top and
best blogging agency. This wasn’t easy with all the recent
competitions!

EMJ6

One of the best things that Nuffnang offered us bloggers
is the opportunity to stay together. Like me, Sophie, Yanyan
and qiuqiu (she couldn’t attend this year as she is in
confinement.) there’s always such events to keep us
together, at the beginning of our friendship, if it wasn’t
Nuffnang I think the chance of us 4 sticking together that
often were much much less… I truly thank Nuffnang for
bringing these awesome friends to me.

Outrageous, I know right. This Sophie sent us a pic of the
dress that she will be wearing, super crazily slutty, super
low cut. I was like must top her, can’t let her to have all the
attention. LOL. The moment I seat down next to her. She
said: ” walao, your outfit damn kuazhang (over the top)!!” I
was like.. I know right. LOL.

Overall you could see it’s a CLOSE FIGHT!!! I super love TR150’s
wide angles, it’s could absolutely capture more things at my
arm length, but E-LP 7 is much much more sharper! Looks
more professional, one of the mega good feature of E-LP 7
is that you could adjust your photo color tone, brightness,
contrast and level of blurriness LIVE!!!

11

TR150 also can do that,
but the color tone adjustment is based by scenes. You can’t
control the amount of intensity of each color scenes, but E-LP 7
can!!!!
