Happy updates

Been a long long while since I update. Busy....

My cammy committed suicide recently, a fatal one. Feel so lost without one, hopefully will be getting one real soon!

Some updates on my life:
Back from Vietnam last week, showed sighs of dengue again. Scare the shit outta me.

Sis sold me her Jay Chou's concert tickets!! woohooo..

Gotten a Coach wallet as "advanced" birthday pressie from dear. *beaming with happiness*
Another item on my conquer list, a FCUK top which I adore *yeh*

I've moved on to Mannequin!! Finally decided to leave Quest for good, I still have an outstanding pay of 17 months for goodness sake. But I haven picked up the courage to confront him. Thing doesn't seem to be so well at Mannequin too because the modelling world is over flooded with ang moh models. Get loooost all the caucasians models....

Rebonded my hair, 7 hours long process. Got my scalp BURNT because they slapped on the colour dye on my scalp...

Christmas is coming, so does my birthday! turning 23 soon...old already..

Sometimes...

Sometimes, I dislike the feeling of having to make myself pissed or upset over stuff. It gets tiring at times. I hate to be thinking so much, so I choose to ignore.

Sometimes, I envy other people's life so much and I wonder why my life sucks. Maybe I yearn for too much. I yearn to be famous, get more modelling jobs and earn fucking big bucks.

Sometimes, I wonder I wonder I wonder..

I need a break I guess. A break where I don't have to worry about money, about following-up I need to do at work, about looking good, about so much so much..

Boring Tuesday

The problem with me for not posting updates is because I'm too ambitious. I usually have too much things that I want to writedown as I dun blog often. I ended up not updating because if I want to write everything down, it'll take me zillion years. And the vicious cycle repeat.

Ok. boring tuesday. Long, busy day at work. Missing him so much as usual. 2 more days to our 3 months *smile*

Yesterday had casting at Hour Glass. Never knew the building between Paragon and Lucky Plaza is Rolex Building. Haha. Saw Irene gan there, she's really gorgeous. Heard from Bhak I got the job. I hope so, more so they'll allow me to wear those expensive watches.

Went window shopping after casting. Some nice clothes at Zara caught my attention. I like, I love. I realize it's hard to do window shopping. Main reason is, I will only pick clothes I like to try. After putting it on, like becomes love, nice becomes pretty. haha.

On my current wish list: COACH's LEGACY LEATHER FRAMED FRENCH PURSE
After some calculation and distribution of my pay, erm, think this shall be my Oct's wish list.
Got to hit the sacks. I cannot emphasize how much I miss him. Tml is DA DAY!

The once in awhile update

Wooo..another 2-3 mths since I last updated. Been busy with job, my new love life and modelling. YA, self-delusional modelling. That's the word man! However, thing seems to be pretty lately. The MOST busy months since I started modelling in 2005. How pathetic!

Did a Sony Style filming which was aired on AXN. Wanted to go to sis's house to watch but she told me 'Cannot even see your face and it was like a few secs only'. Erm..so can forget about it. haha. Hopefully they'll post the video online so I can at least watch the few secs of myself on tv.

This week had two events this week. Marie France ad on wed, which turn out to be quite disaterous. Firstly, the night before, panic attack striked because I realize I have used up my last pair of contact lens. Secondly, the horrendous makeup makes my already-very-swollen-puffy-eyes even worst. Who the hell use gold eye shadow on the person whom has such goldfish eyes!! Lastly, my acting skills need to be really improved, 'nuff said. haha

Who is the person on the right with such puffy eyes!

Rushing back to work, with hair all plastered with wax
Yesterday night I did a fashion show, Wardrobe II at Zouk. Was a very last min one, almost missed it. So thankful to my sis help, if not I would have missed out a fun night. Just kinda sad and disappointed when none of my friends could make it. I love the collection which we had to modelled for, HRH.

I was made to wear a veil, so I wasn't able to see very clearly on the runway. But it was really nothing as compared to MSU. haha. I'm all trained up after MSU. Met YY at the show too. And Xing Yuan aka Samantha. Heard of her before the event because she was in same project group as a friend. And he asked me see her friendster because he think she's damn cool. Which I agree after meeting her in person. I love her curls, she could really carry it off. Being girls, we of course took the free time to take photos!!

Unveil-ed me!

Actually, they could really save up on the makeup on my face coz you can't really see much.

Me, Sam. Swyn, Yingting

Close up of our bai lian

Lastly, the Kabuki who has gone mad


Headed home straight after the event. I wanna go out late, I wanna go chill out, someone pls take me out. Hope he come back soon, real soon. It's been a month since I saw him. SOB

A pic of my man in suit, suave!woohoo:

Backdated Post!

Been 2 mths since I last updated. Although the final night didn't went so smoothly for me, with all the tongue-tied, it still ended with a BANG! Although I kept telling myself, I'm still a winner if I didn't get into top 10, I was seriously dying for my name to be called when I was on the stage. When my name, (the name that 8 days made such a BIG fuss over it) was called by Adrian Pang, my heart that was beating so fast almost popped out!! Of course, that's one of the reason of the tongue-tightness/tied-ness when answering the Q&A. Bloody hell, the most embaressing moment of my life. Stammering on the national TV, being watched by so many people. haha. Luckily it was just embaressing moments that Cadenze would be remembered for, not Pei Li. hee


My 2 fav. girls from the paegent.


Well, life's pretty back to normal after the paeagent. A end for Cadenze, and a new beginning for Pei Li. hehe. I'm only Cadenze when I go for casting. Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde's story!


A brief look on my trip to Vietnam, HCM. It was quite an eye-opener for me. A very different city from what I expected. I enjoyed the trip and food! The travelling was quite a tired one, ranging from 1-2hours. Whenever long travelling hours were involved, I would just doze off, with mouth opened. SO pai seh lo! But I just couldn't help it whenever I sleep in car. I was also constantly hungry when I travel. So after waking up, I would munch on granola bar, or cornflakes. Must be the paegent that deprived me of food. haha

Looks run down, but, all buildings looks similar to this one in HCM


View from the 20th something floor. I love view of places from the top =)


Cows are everywhere on the road in the rural areas.


Railway track that run acorss the road


Floating restaurant plus a boat ride I guess


A theme park. I thought it was a temple, a huge one, but my Vietnamese co-colleague told me it's a huge theme-park! So interesting. haha

Everything is in abundant in HCM. People, MOTORBIKES esp, flys, cow etc. A bad traffic, a terrible one when it was raining at a junction. Traffic from all direction wants to move. SO everyone move together. My driver just turned, with half of the car onto the pavement, and move in the opposite direction of traffic. Power!

Mask for motorists, cause the main form of transport is Motor. broom..broom..everywhere. The mask are co cute that I can't resist and I bought 2 to keep. When I was back, Rowan wore it and commented "Gu gu, now I cannot smell Ah Ma's cooking already." *literally with an exclamation* HUGE LAUGHTERS..

Freshly-grinded coffee! Nice..

Soveniors shop in the flea market. A place I went crazy..shopping! Bien Tian Market or something like that.

Shoes Shoes..Everywhere!! I just love shoes. Bought 3 pairs, adding on to my 20+ pair of shoes collection.

My phone, same model as my special someone =)

My MSU journey..

Been long awhile since I last update. Nobody reads anyway. haa. Finally there's a day which I can really sit down and write this precious memory down. Plus, I'm trying to kill time while trying to keep a lookout for my video!!!

It's been a hectic 3weeks ever since I was selected for the finals. Training, roadshows, filming..This has been a really amazing journey. Time really flies, I can still rem being approached at PS to sign up. Never expect myself to have gone and survive so far. Still can rem the jittery me on the semi-finals on march 24th. Hmm..let me recall the whole journey from the start:


27th Jan
On this fine day morning, I decided to wake up early and go for a shopping spree at PS. Was too lazy to take mrt, so I choose to take bus 64. In this way, I could be in shorts, specs and no makeup! Hmm..the oli makeup I had was some touchup of my eyebrow.
Reached PS at about 11.30am but they changed the bus stop for bus 64. It no longer stops outside Parkmall. So fedup, I had to walk all the way from behind Singapore shopping centre and it started raining halfway.

I think I spent a bomb that day at Dorothy Perkins that day. Over 200bucks for 3 dresses. But I got my Topshop membership card. Whhheee!

Walked around somemore, think it was about 2-3pm already. Decided to take a bus back again and while walking towards the bus stop, a gal came up to me. The first line is "Hi, I'm from mediacorp. I saw you a few times walking around PS but you were very far from me, so didn't catch up with you. Finally saw you again so decided to approach you. Are you keen on taking part in Miss S'pore Universe?"
I was quite happy la, coz the night before I was still thinking about it but was too lazy to find out where to get the form. So this was a good chance. I was quite doubtful when she approached me coz I was in my shorts, tee, specs, NO MAKEUP. I seriously look very different with specs, haa. An piece of evidence below:


Stuffing myself with cheesecake

Ok, back to story-telling, I decided to give shot and I did not regret about my choice (only when I looked back after the whole journey).


Somewhere in Feb
Receive a call from Mediacorp asking me to go down for audition for MSU! I still remember I received the call during lunch time, I was jumping with excitement after getting the news.

Went for audition on a Fri, rushed back from work and rushed there. The moment I stepped out of the lift, I was taken aback by the sight of a HUGE group of bikini-clan gals. I mean where would you get chance to see so many gals in bikini (gals in underwear as what Christy claimed) other than the beach/mayb fashion show. Felt uncomfortable to be sitting and waiting for my turn to go in. KAOZ, it's really like pigs waiting to be slaughtered. NAKED PIGS. Haa. I was glad I bumped into Carol, a gal from my JC, but she can't recognise me. Maybe it's a good thing that I changed alot.

Audition was good, Arrol asked for me during the group interview. During the individual, he also asked me alot of qns which shows he is keen in me. I'm quite happy about that and was more or less confident of getting selected.

I receive call on the following Mon/Tue saying I'm selected for semi-finals, top 26!! Another which starts to set in is the number of days of leave I've to take.

One of the saturday in Feb I think, we met up with all the girls. In the meeting room, I saw a familiar face walked in. No, it wasn't one of the contestants. He is the stylist and he's none other den my sec sch band senior, JuSTIN! Was overjoyed to see him. Coz usually for pageants I took part in, I get crappy clothes. So I though by having a stylist who knows me, I can be at some advantage. Ok, divert abit, my clothes for my Female last year wasn't that bad. I still love the 299bucks I wore but was way out of my budget.

During the preview show at raffles city. We got to keep the Guess jeans we wore =)

Benefit of the doubt, the guy in the background is none other den Cleo Bachelor 2007. hee

Finals at Zouk. I love this set of clothes, but it's too ex and too bad, it wasnt for free this time


Back back. After the meet up session, it was followed by deportment classes, choreography, speech lessons and fitting of bikini.

Oh, we had a Citispa roadshow before the actual semi-finals too. Did not manage to take any pics I think. But found a article from Judy's online album:



24th March - Semi-Finals
We are at Mediacorp at staggered timing starting from 8am+. Oh ya, we had a pre-interview session with the EP (executive Producer, a new term I've learnt recently) and another lady. It was to review our 1 line of self introduction we going to say in the night.



The group shot

And we set up to Oosh for rehearsal at 11+. Damn, can you imagine having rehearsal under such hot sun. After first round, some of us were scheduled for makeup, not knowing there'll be 2nd round of rehearsal. ARGH, my makeup melted under the scorching sun. And my top was soaking wet, as I was in a grey top, you can imagine the embaressment I faced. Haa. Found a pic that I dun rem taking:




My super white face..with Justin



All prep up for the night. Sally-hansenEd and baby-oiLED


28th March

If I don't rem wrongly, had a official proper photoshoot on the 28th March. It was at this ulu place but it was a photoshoot I enjoyed after being in modelling for sometime. It was then I start to feel the competativeness. I guess it's natural that everyone wants to stand out in the group photo, so does myself.


The photos didn't really came out as well as I've expected. The group swimwear made me looks like I've got thunder thighs!! Oh man..and my face looks so flat so I think they took away too much of my eyebags. haa. It's not that I purposely want to have eyebags that are as big as my eyes, it's just a inheritance. It feels good to receive compliments from the photographer though I think it's part of his job to make you feel at ease.


29th March

Shoot at Carribean, the very nice condo beside Habourfront. Initially I was sceptical about the filming there. The place turned out to be so damn amazing. However, weather was the killer. We reached there about 10am+ but it was raining. We gals ended up shopping at Vivo. Group filming took place about 2pm+ indoor, at the waterfall. (I found out the later that the water from the waterfall actually comes from the freshwater lagoon!).

We did the individual filming and I was so damn consicious of my tummy when I had to sit down and "play" with the water. DUH. We didn't manage to finish filming but had lotsa fun playing around with towels. haa

I seriously feel more at ease when we are in smaller group, more fun, less competition. Luckily, I manage to get along quite well with the gals in my group.


One of my fav. pic

3rd April
Filming at Good Wood Park for evening wear. Had my hair done up and they kept saying Sun Yanzi..Look like meh?? Ask hf, she said it's my mouth. Hmm...

I quite like the change of hairstyle, at least it's something different from my usual bob. bob bob bob..reminds me of bobdog n bobdog sweets..





4th April
Our so-call spa party. It should be call the waiting party instead lo. Was feeling very jialat coz it was the time of the month. And the tonnes of waiting doesn't really help. I had this body treatment which required me to wear a SPACE SUIT. haa. Nah, it was a uber transparent bodysuit.

Manage to do abit of shopping with Joey and Xuemei after "the party", which made me felt better. Talking about the dress, I almost forgot I've that dress! A mini-mod dress from Dorothy Perkins, I like!



5th April
Re-filming of swimwear at Carribean. On one hand, I was reluctant to go coz had to take leave and was so drained after so many days of event. However, I was glad I got a chance to go back there, armed with camera to snap n snap n snap!


I can't really rem what went on after this, just that we had training every evening. Imagine I have to rush down for rehearsal everyday after work, reach home at 11.30, sleep at 12+ and the cycle repeats itself for almost 2whole weeks. Who say being in pageant is simple! It takes so much hard work. I still have to keep up with diet, nightly crunches, push-ups, weight training and thigh/butt firming exercise.
