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!
Had a really fun day at the open house with Rachel! Again thank
you MDIS School of Fashion and Design for inviting me as a special
guest! I must say, really flattered and honoured

Last photo with Rachel! Good luck for your new job and future!
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!
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.
This year’s theme is white and gold…& all things glamorous..
I showed up with a caesar diamond leaf crown… LOL.
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.
\
This year’s gift bag was the most awesome one ever!! I got
sonicare toothbrush from Philips!!!! Super super love it! And a
lot of goodies from brands, Samsung and belief!!! These
brands are one of those super big brands that I super love!!!
How awesome is Nuffnang!
This year’s event was held at Da Paolo Bistro Bar!
(https://www.facebook.com/BistroBar.RochesterPark)
As much as I hate outdoor events.. But the moment I
reached the location I was super impressed!!! The place
is so prettily decorated!! The peeps at Assemble Happinest
( https://facebook.com/pages/Assemble-Happinest/)
did a awesome job! It’s so pretty that for the moment I forgot
about the heat. I just wanted to camwhore. LOL!!
The food are awesome too!! Desserts… Yes desserts!!!
Nuffnang not only brought me and my friends closer! They
also let me get to know other bloggers, here’s a group pic
with the new bloggers friends I get to know! Like mongabong,
Yina and evonz!
Here’s photos taken from the photo booth! It’s actually kinda
weird without Qiu this year… Really really miss her. It was
always the 4 of us at the Nuffnang birthday party for the past
4 years…
Here’s one with the boss!
Was invited to the vineyard food tasting with Yanyan! It was a
candle light fine dinning experience! The food was refreshing
delicious, most of the dishes I have never try before!
Had an awesome 5 course fine dinning with the awesome
peeps from Nuffnang!! Delighted with their fusion dishes and
romantic ambience! Very very suitable for couples! It’s a discreet
and quiet place!
You too can enjoy fine dinning experience at Vineyard Restaurant

Previously I blog about entire entry on a cafe shoot for Twinnie
Miyake. Only her. Here’s the pics of me and her. Lol. Yes it’s

And previously I raved about her new camera, the Olympus
E-PL 7! It was really good, here’s all the photos taken with E-PL 7
and Casio’s TR150! For every pic taken at the cafe I will mention
at the bottom of the pic which camera it’s taken with. At end
of the series of photo. Let’s a have Verdict of which is a better
camera!

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!!!
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!!!!

This Miyake is a bad girl. She seduce me into wanting to cheat
on my Casio TR150 and go purchase one Olympus E-LP7….
How!?! I wanna save money one! Lol.
