Some Fancy Braids, Hair Weaving Thing

Well I did some fancy styles braiding. Just to hone my skills and bring challenge up to a new level!?? 

All thanks to my clients :) Never a dull day in my work. 

Bridal Hair and Makeup for Yvonne

Lovely bride Yvonne, who is always all smiles and with a great personality to match. 

Thank you for your utmost trust!! :)

First look of the day:

It took me sometime to try to arrange the flowers prettily in Yvonne's hair, especially not when I'm still trying to wake up, early in the morning.... The stress DID wake me up though!
Definitely much harder than just sticking on a hair accessory! I'm glad I did it and without delay to the whole schedule! *PHEW!

This style is also stressful  as I cannot stick pins that are bigger than these dainty flowers. They have to be placed strategically around the braid without falling out and look nice all at the same time! Ahhhhhhh!!!

Visible pins all through are not acceptable and so I told Yvonne, " No vigorous head shaking for the night ok!" Hahahahah

Fringe area for Zanne is always up but that's cause I want to show her beautiful face!
If you prefer fringe, it can be done too! :)

Sorry for the slightly messy look for some. I didn't exactly make it super neat as it's easier for me to change styles after!

Wedding Photoshoot: Yachting at One degree 15 by White Sails in Sentosa

Up on an early morning and off to a day of yachting adventure for a couple shoot with Lumiere photography and White Sails (1 Degree 15-Sentosa).

I was excited as it was my first time on a yacht in Singapore, (my first yacht experience was when I went to Hongkong) and was pretty curious to see the yacht's interior and experience the life as (what many people would consider) the "upper society" class. Hooray!

The charter was for 4 hours. Though it's not considered expensive but I wouldn't label this as an activity like: going shopping in town on a whim; as a sort of activity whenever we feel like it. I was just going to fully enjoy being on one FREE OF CHARGE. Hahahhahaha

Surprisingly, the waters are clear here and you can see FISHES! I was AMAZED!!!!!!!!

A pretty pic of Angeline before we board. :)

Before the yacht set sail, it was bobbing crazily at the dock. We were all busy loading and setting up our equipment without paying much attention to the crazy swaying until much later. 

As I did not have a proper breakfast, my gastric juice was swishing around in my stomach and I was starting to get EXTREMELY whoozy and nauseated. 

I would say I'm not prone to seasickness that easily but for this, it proved too much for me to bear. ARGHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I desperately tried to swallow mouthfuls of water, trying to hydrate myself thinking maybe it was due to the hot weather. Snacking periodically to ease the rumbling of my stomach. 

Finally I couldn't take it anymore and went to biggest bed inside the cabin and tried to sleep the nausea away till we docked at the island. 

My Unglamourous Pic:

Unfortunately, the poor photographer puked and he had to shoot. Poor Dan.

The unglamourous Photographer:

By this time, we had already docked on this island called:
St Lazarius. (not even sure if I got the spelling right?) 

And another boo-boo phtographer who had his socks screwed up. At least it's still the same colour tone...

Anyway this island is part of the St John' island in Singapore, secluded and un-developed. Basically you could skinny-dip in the waters and nobody would know. (except your friends of course! Coming alone would be way TOO CREEPY!) But the waters are clear and very nice!

Look of the day: Waterfall braids and wedding makeup

Shot on a yacht at: One degree 15, Sentosa by White Sails. 

While on the yacht, Angeline and her beau, Joey, had to strike poses and I thought they looked kinda awkward and funny but still cute. Look at their strained necks!!! I never thought taking pictures were easy anyway.....

I shamelessly camwhored too! Couldn't couldn't resist..... 

Shameless

Candid Shot of Joey trying to do a jump shot and me failing terribly trying to capture it
Erm.

Well it sure looks like this girl is enjoying herself too! 

Our man Shao looking good here!

While on the beach......

My heart goes AwwwwwwWWwwwwww.......

It was a crazy hot day and my feet were burning. We quickly finished up on this island and proceeded to continue with Joey taking a jumping shot off the yacht and then it's back to Singapore. 

So the boys, Shao and Dan, set off on a dinghy, which they reminded me of Tom Hanks in the movie: Cast Away. HAhah

So, Finally it's a wrap ending with a nice hearty beer and lunch at Harry's bar. 

To top it all off, I had ugly tan lines. ARgh!!!!! I hate it. 

Love,

G

Bridal Hair and Makeup: Braids

The bride who loves big thick lashes. She is kinda concerned about her very small eyes.


Beauty is confidence. As long she feels good, who's to say she is not allowed her use 'Fan-sy' lashes?!
