The BIG BAD SHOT.
over the last 12 months i have not been too busy with work.
seriously... i haven't.
but i have been involved in a number of ''Reality TV"shows.
like... SuperModel Me. HP Space. Dance Star Asia & Ice Star Asia.
Clean & Clear's Top Model Best Friends.
as Creative Stylist, Head Stylist, Head Makeup Artiste, Mentor, Judge and Friend.
i know. that's a lot of roles.
don't get me wrong... I heart REALITY SHOWS.
be it working or watching one.
but did does irks me when i watch a really bad one.
fine... there are a few.
but when a local network feels its good enough to produce and air a photography contest / reality show... that takes the cake.
The BIG Shot.
the local reality show where photogs get a chance to win S$20,000/-
10 contestants who would look better on radio but shouldn't speak.
1 host who wasn't even introduced... sad.
3 judges... yawn.
30mins waste of TV time.
were they too lazy to cast or audition more people?!
good looking people?!!!
2 out of 10 is not a good number!!!
i know its a local production but does it have to look CHEAP & AMATEUR?!!
and what's with the AKA?!! who cares about AKA!
no effort was made to up the bar people. no effort.
one word. FIRE THE PRODUCER!
ok, that's 3.
and that's only from the 1st episode...
can't wait to see how much worse it can get next week!

Family.
have you met my family?
let me introduce them to you.
my mom & dad have been married for 44 years.
the inspiration in my life.
supportive. understanding. giving.
they taught me love.
and they have 4 kids. i know , they still call us Kids.
2 boys and 2 girls.
it was a trend in the late 60s to start a big family.
then the government said, "2 is Enough".
my late brother would be 43 this year but he passed away when he was 19.
car accident.
then there's me and my 2 younger sisters. 39 and 38.
i'm not married. as u would know by now.
but my sisters were. are. yes.
both were married and then divorced their 1st husband.
the older one remarried and now has a daughter. she's 9.
the younger one's divorce was finalized 4 years ago
and she has 1 boy, 19 and 1 girl, 15.
i love my sisters. my pillars.
i am not close to the relatives from my dad's side of the family.
they kinda suck.
nuff said.
but i am super close to my mom's side.
she has an elder brother who married to a malay wife.
3 younger sisters whom all married indian men and
a younger brother who married a chinese.
talk about multi-racial family upbringing.
funny thing is the 2 boys truly married into their wives' family.
the only 2 sons my grandmother has literally disappeared from her live for over 30 years.
i know i have cousins. we played together when we were younger but if i ever pass them in the street today, i wouldn't know tom from dick.
sad isn't it, not knowing your family.
but my 3 aunts are precious to me. and to each other.
they are constantly in each others life.
growing together as a family. always there thru thick & thin.
and not just for each other but also for their nephews and nieces.
they call us their own Kids.
that's nice, to know that your family is always there for you.
and of course there's my grandmother. she's Vietnamese FYI.
Mdm Nguyen Ti Yew. she's the best.
i learnt to speak dialects from her.
she's 78 and is a fighter!
and she taught me that you get your strength for life & love from
your Family.

DIY
its been 2 months.
yet nothing.
so i realize that when u need something done,
u have to do it yourself.
this is what happens when u leave things in others' hands.
u have to follow up. check on them. chase them even.
sometimes, u even have to babysit them.
it doesn't mean u don't trust them... just that I DON'T.
so i have learnt my lesson.
if u can't depend on others to get the job done... FIRE them!
