MAG-IN-THE-MAG! | Monash Gazette

"Ahh, should've asked for a final review before they published the pictures",  I initially thought. 

But whats done is done and I must say, considering the time constraint; it was a good wrap. I'm pretty certain these pictures are already familiar to most of you; posted up a couple of 'sneak peek' months ago. And TADAHH! My first 5-pages feature in a magazine ( how i wish its actually for Vogue or Harpers Bazaar #wishfulthinking). 

Nonetheless, kudos to the peeps behind the scenes! Looking forward for more feature-opportunities.

Unfortunately its only for internal circulation (Monash's publication) but looking on the bright side, the world wont have to see my non-airbrushed pictures (phew!). I swear I can see my pimple and very prominent black heads. Stating the obvious -.- Tsk!

My time in Miss Universe Malaysia 2012 may be over and done but, I'm glad that I still have something that would remind me of the good times. Reason why I'm forever on a conquest to capture everything; for everyday would one day become history. And I wouldn't want mine, forgotten. 

Here are some of the behind-the-scenes pictures! 

Hair & make-up: Done by yours truly

Apparels: Details on the magazine 

Accessories: Diva 

Shoes: Model's own 

The two lovely ladies who made it happen: Yulia & Munira. 

Finals are approaching and all these 24/7 studying has definitely taken a toll on my body. Wish I could drag on this post but priorities first :( Will be resuming on blogging as soon as I'm done with my 3 final papers. In the mean time, wish me luck and have a great start to June! Its already the 6th month of 2012, can you even imagine? Time flew by too quickly.

Bon vivant?

Second post via BloggerApp. Blogging made easy! Saves the hassle of transferring photos from camera & phone (sucks that iPhone has no proper Bluetooth services ugh).

Just a snippet of what I've been having. Now that I look at it, I've been quite a glutton haven't I. The food junkie in me has definitely prevailed. The constant battle between a glutton and a gym junkie. Haha, quite a combo don't you think?

Ya hungry?

Standard Chartered Fun Run 2012

Just a quick update via Blogger App. First time blogging thru my phone haha. And to be honest, just downloaded this app 5 seconds prior to this post.

Pictures from today's Standard Chartered Fun Run @ Putrajaya in conjunction w Youth's Day (Hari Belia)!

Won't talk much - this whole blogging via iPhone is kinda restricting and decreases efficiency as well ;( so yup, had great time w the fellow peeps & definitely looking forward to the next Run- if only time permits.

Approaching our finish line. 

Determination and perseverance got us there. 

Completed my 3km run within 15minutes along w my running buddy from SEEING IS BELIEVING charity association. He may be visually impaired but his determination was mountain high and did not stop for drink nor a short breather. Such an inspiring kid! And most importantly, he sees through his heart! How beautiful can that be?

It was definitely worth my 5am wake-up call on a Saturday :)

Pullman Lakeside Hotel, Putrajaya. 

The Clan! 

Wen Chai, my running buddy! I really do salute and adore this 14-year-old boy's determination. You should've seen how adamant he was! 

WE DID IT! *thumbs up for everyone! 

The costume runners. Very creative. 

The gentlemen from An Honest Mistake! 

Group shot! #candid 

Rimmel London Shoot 2012

Oh yellow there! First of all, my apologies for the long hiatus ( okay, 2 weeks isn't that long lah). I have been rather caught up (YES, AGAIN- its neverending *pulls hair!) with studies and work. Assignments mounting up and esp that *damn journalism video assignment that requires stubborn Malaysians that are just so reluctant to utter A WORD in front of the camera. "No comment" is still a very evident statement, mind you. 

Its fun and an eye-opening experience actually. Glad to took up this somewhat appear to be 'torturous' unit. My greatest respect to all journalists/ reporters out there that are risking their life for our daily news. ( A mini story like mine, is challenging enough; I can't imagine doing an international/extremely political news). 

Enough with Journalism. 

Don't pray pray! ;P

That was a snippet of my "DEFINITELY-NOT-INTERESTING" life. With all the exam stress and obligations- I'm lucky that I still get to do "FUN" stuffs ( on in a while). 

Did a shoot for Rimmel London Malaysia last week for their upcoming Mobile App. Will keep y'all posted when its launched and download it on your smartphones! Oh the perks of our canggih generation, SMARTPHONES ;) 

I know you guys are probably not gonna read these, because (after my observations/ research) I know most readers are lazy and hate LONG-WINDED posts but super love PIC SPAM posts. I am probably one of them too. Haha. 'Pick up' reading lah! :P 

Feast your eyes then. Writing will commence at the end of this post. See you in abit! :P 

Wardrobe laid out for the shoot. 

Had my nails done too! Quick-dry polish and LOVED the colour. 

StarAsia Malaysia's Conference Room. They have really awesome products! 

Products x Infinity (RIMMEL LONDON) 

My guide look of the day. London street style! If only they provide dip-dyes then it'd be perfect ;) 

Lu Xanne and yours truly. 

Getting final touch-ups before the shoot began. 

Hair: A Cut Above
Make-up: Rimmel London

Fuohhh! Look at those apparatus. If only I own half of that. Sure cantik everyday lah. 

Trying on their latest product, also my current FAVOURITE!
1000 KISSES LASTING FINISH LIPSTICK #mustbuy! 

Make sure you girls get these at your nearest Watson Store! Not your conventional lipstick. This one leaves NO STAIN (Water-based). And its easy to apply. Just finish up your lips with the balm at the other end of the stick. 

Rimmel London is having promotion and be sure to get hold of the 1000 KISSES LASTING FINISH LIPSTICK. (Eh, I'm promoting for free ok. Cus trust me, its like NO OTHER). I'm going to get one myself. Just check them out at the nearest Watsons Store.

Thank you Rimmel London and Miss Universe Malaysia Organization for having me. Definitely had tons of fun. Can't wait for the official pictures to be up!

Will try to update this blog as frequent as possible. On another note, I will be running the Standard Chartered Fun Run 2012 this Saturday (26th May 2012). Make sure you register and we can all RUN FOR A REASON! I'll be running with a visually impaired child and let us all run for charity! They need our help.

See you this Saturday! Happy mid-week all xx
