Pageant Sunday

Got a call from Mei校长 sometime during the week.."I need your help this Sunday! I need somebody to help with the girls' makeup for their photoshoot!". Going by Mei 校长's recent question, which has always revolving around "Got pretty girls or not? Ask them to join the pageant..", I know the "girls" meant contestants for the Ms International pageant :p


Actually I always thought pageants was for..er.. well..I mean who would want to go through all the torture of being ogled by so many people walking on stage!? I get stage fright just having 50 people looking at me deilvering a topic. And probably answer every question with "..and world peace!"

O_0"

But then what I didn't know was that the Singapore Women's Association has been organising the pageant every year to raise money and all profit would have gone to charities. And of course, helping pretty girls to realise their runway dreams in the process :))




So anyway, back to Sunday..it was 11am at SWA's office.






Busybusybusybusybusy....4 persons getting the girls ready for the camera (starting from the left in pink) - Sandra, Faith, me and Alice.

Backbreaking :s

After a few hours of powdering, dabbing, brushing, blending..all the girls were done and shot. Amazing just splashes of colours can transform someone, looking so different on the comp even before photoshopping.

While hanging around for the last few girls to finish shooting, we were flipping through last year's Ms International programme booklet. Wah..Ms International not only have to walk on stage and look pretty..they have to be involved in charity activities as well! Not easy wor!

Then saw Annie and some of the other ladies' from SWA coming back, hot and sweaty. Annie said that they just came back from a CC where they were helping with the free eye screening, which I believed was one of the programme that Mei mentioned before which SWA was running.

Anyway, while the last girl was setting her hair before she could go in front of the camera, Alice and me took opportunity of the phtographer's free window slot and took some photographs too. heh~ wait for him to send to us :p

After that it was rushing to Giant Tampines (it's a madhouse on sunday!) to help with the grocery shopping (was super late, only helped to push the cart to the Hoongs' car :p) and then to Sox's place for steamboat dinner. To celebrate capt-who-is-the-same-age-as-singapore 's birthday :D. Dinner + wine + figuring out the latest devt between Yx & Mr Hougang + crappy 欠扁问答题 （hmm...maybe I will blog abt the 欠扁问答题-香港版 next time..but no fun cos you dont see the =.=" expression on other people's face..hahahah~)

And realised that there are 3 other persons who had the same birthday. And one on the way should the stock be punctual with his bundle of joy. Hmm..a good day for birthdays?
