10 Girls. 10 Gowns. 10 DSLRs. 10 Long lenses. One would have imagined it to be a complete disaster, putting that entire combination together but thanks to Peter who  amazingly enough pulled it off,  we made it to the feature article of Faces, June issue! Also, a special mention to Patrick who made us feel at ease and provided us with the much-needed guidance on our poses!

It was my first time in a wedding gown and I certainly never would have expected putting on a gown without a ring on my finger. Maneuvering in a wedding gown is no easy task, what’s more posing and looking composed and pretty all at the same time. My perceptions of brides have completely changed 360 degrees. R-E-S-P-E-C-T! My utmost respect goes out to all my brides who have withstood the harsh and humid Malaysian heat, pose in high heels and look pretty for me! Trust me guys, it’s no easy feat!

The photoshoot was also a mini get-together for me and gave me a chance to finally catch up with the girls, Grace, Jenny & Anna who I haven’t seen in ages!

June 2009. A tiny headliner reads: The limited edition Tiger Beer pays tribute to those who stand out.

It is always a pleasant surprise to find out that you’ve been recognized for your hard work and effort. So of course, when Brian called to inform me that I would be one of six individuals Tiger would like to highlight in their winners campaign, I was stoked! What’s more… it’s Tiger! one of my beers of choice!

Two days ago, I picked up the new issue of Juice, scanned through the pages, looking for the photo of me and Bam-Bam! I was disappointed to find that she was cropped out of the photo but nonetheless, feel privileged to be part of Tiger’s Winners campaign!

It is truly an honor to share the limelight with 5 other accomplished individuals in the local art scene – Joe Tribe, graffiti writer and owner of Tribe, Eric Wong, bassist for Indie-rock band OAG, Stooner Wong, edgy choreographer and renown personality in the Malaysian fashion runways, Stephen Lau, graphic designer and creator of Minor Player Studio and Phang Kuan Hoong, head copyrighter and musician.

I think what we all have in common is PASSION. Passion in doing what we love…

And at the risk of sounding too philosophical (well since I’m in DISSERTATION mode, I think I have a right to be!), I’d like to end this post with something I truly believe in…. that PASSION is the driving force of success…. Ok I think I better stop here, I’m starting to sound like a motivational speaker!

Back to my date with Mr-D!
