Photography by C. En Yung Part 3

Photoshoot time! I was a non professional model for the day again when En Yung told me that he bought some new lens for his camera and we head down to Hort Park at Alexandra Technopark to take some daytime, greenery pictures. *excited*

Pictures taken with a Nikon D90 with Tokina 11-16mm F2.8 and Nikon 50mm F1.4D lens.

I donned a colourful patched flowy skirt that I used as a tube styled dress. Yeah.. its a skirt. Costs about $20 and bought at Chinatown.

Here are some of the pictures that I liked out of this set. It was a Really REALLY fun photoshoot. The colours came out well. The angles and the new lens really made this set of pictures quite funny too! I love the one above!!! And generally, I'm very happy that EY has managed to capture a range of different kind of shots so far for his slowly growing portfolio! *Proud to be part of it*

Casual Shots @ Vivo City found HERE.
Evening Shots @ Clarke Quay found HERE.

There were SO MANY different little spots thats just perfect to take pictures with. Every couple of steps would see you in a little tiny spot with different landscaping or plants or furniture. Snap! Snap! Snap!! Some places had little wooden fences like this one...

Some places with strange plants and some information signboards about the park... some even had playground toys and even plastic Dinosaurs and Grass Dragons! We had a hilarious time at the Dinosaurs because I got stuck halfway up and he had to pull me off it with me screaming for dear life..."hewwwllp!!! I'm stuck!!!"

The park had various different kind of statues... you would see this metal swirly one when you enter near the park entrance...

And we tried a little perspective.. looking all professional, this was when EY lay flat on the table and took a photoshot upwards. Gosh.. the kind of positions photographers have to get into to get a different perspective... really not easy work!

Then he stood up on the table and shot downwards...

There were vegetable gardens and herb gardens.. I loved the Thyme bushes here.. they smelt so good too! *tempted to pluck some to use for grilled chicken*... (cough cough) but I didn't okay!

Different kind of stools, chairs and lounge chairs like this... this reminds me of some poolside deckchair...

And he caught me creeping about the flower bushes... "ah hah!!" (snap!) HOI!! .... *snigger snigger*

A portrait shot of me sitting by a flower bush.. and yeah.. the fluffiness of this skirt makes me look pregnant as a dress but I'm obviously NOT. I'm just naturally.. erm.. curvy.

And another shot of my favourite kind of picture for the day... BIG HEAD ME!! And that being said... If you like his work and if you would like to give En Yung a try for some photography work (personal or commercial), do contact him via his Facebook page and leave him a message! Or Email me at honeymeow@gmail.com for his contact number. Thanks for looking!

Christmas Wishlist 2009

I have had some very lovely dear friends who had asked what I wanted this Christmas, perhaps so that they could get it before I leave for the Philippines on the 15th of December till month end. *clap hands in excited glee* Yes! I'm going to be off to the Philippines to spend Christmas there with my Mom and sisters and the rest of my maternal family. The Glama Grandmama aka my mom sponsored the tickets for the 3 of us via Cebu Pacific.

It would be a different Christmas for the girls this year for them to experience altogether. I'm pretty sure they're going to enjoy themselves. And we'll probably webcam with their Daddy n all at home here on Christmas eve/day itself. :)

So this years wishlist goes like this... I would put generally what I want.. it may not be within your budget or perhaps it is? but you DON'T have to get these if you don't want to.. but it might be easier knowing what I DO want if you want to get me something... but heck! If you remember me during Christmas and call/sms me to say Hi! I would be happy already!

1. Red Ipod

2. Tiffany Bracelet or Pendant. I don't put in necklaces as any necklace has to be pure gold or string or a natural material. I cannot wear costume metal jewellery as I have sensitive skin that would break out in a mad angry spotty rash. So if you're considering this, please note the above.

3. Black Dance Sneakers

4. Good Quality ~erm~.. Toys. *cough*...

Hey! These are really expensive okay...! *cough* I don't need to explain further what kind I'm talking about here....(whistle n stare at ceiling...) Ask me what I prefer if you are really want to get this or just really surprise me! Hahaha!

5. Hazel & Gray Contact Lenses - No degree needed.

6. Good Quality Lipgloss

7. Medium Size Bootleg Black Workout Pants (To fit a size 10/12 person)

8. Good Quality Sport Bras - Size 36C

9. A Small Portable Laptop - In black or pink.

10. Good Quality Headphones

Thats about it for now! :) Merry Christmas in Advance!!

Almost Exploding... Can't believe it...

This evening, I was going through some older event photographs for some work and I found one of myself 2 years ago at a past event. I had to do a triple take at the photograph as I realised that I was literally splittingly exploding out of my skin!

How did I let myself reach 100kg like that? Those were a size 44 pants and my official XXL event black shirt literally hangs on me now.. aye! This is a good reminder to keep working out and to keep in mind the kind of food that goes into my mouth. Gah! No more please.

Photography by C. En Yung Part 2

Armed with a new Nikon D90 camera, we set of to Clarke Quay to take some random photogaphs before a Salsa workshop at Azzucar. The last set of photos by C. En Yung can be found HERE.

Time taken for these set of shots were from around 6-730pm. Location at Clarke Quay, Singapore. Weather - Cloudy early evening with an eventual Clear Night sky.

The shot above taken at a doorway to a lonely alley near the central fountain at Clarke Quay.

Taken by the Bridge connecting Central and Clarke Quay.

Walking about Clarke Quay's shophouses.

And finally, me waiting for my dinner before the Salsa workshop begins. I thought this set of photos turned out pretty alright.. I looked somewhat fatigued but it was probably due to me not feeling too good lately and been sick the days prior to this. Still actually not feeling too chirpy as yet.

Dress & handbag compliments of my dear Mother in Law..yes! Its her dress. The one I wore before I left the house was too loose and she couldn't bear seeing me leave the house with a lousy fitting pink dress so she gave me this black one instead! It fit well apparently and I loved it! :)

I used makeup from SilkMineral.com. Accessories & Heels are my own. :) Thanks for looking!

If anyone is interested to contact C. En Yung, you can look for him at his facebook page HERE.

Halloween 09 - Azzucar Spooky Night!

Spooky Night on 31st October came around and I spent the evening working. Yes, at a club and yes, it was Azzucar but for filming purposes. My videographers were there in full force recording what was needed for the night. While that was happening, the Marketing Manager and I made our rounds for the evening looking for Halloween Costume winners for prizes.

I interchanged my gold mask for the night for some black devil horns. What was I? Well I don't know really.. I had a mask, I had golden glittery spiders running all over my body.. some blood running down blood-red lips and blood splattered around my shoulders... so I was a bloody horny masked..err.. something.. *shrug*

Above was the first prize winner in red hair... below was the 2nd prize winner and the 3rd prize winner.. she left before we could take a picture with her. :(

And some more pictures with two of the band members (in pink hair and red horns)...

And my newest girlfriend, Michelle! Priscilla introduced us one evening some weeks ago and we hit off completely! She's a riot and completely hilarious... a really fun girl. REALLY fun. And best part too, she's also an Endorphin Junkie like me but she instructs swimming and trains for triathlons! Cool eh! Triathlons! Even I'm not at that level to even want to do a Marathon... much less Triathlon!! *hugs babe!!*

And I just HAD to take a picture with these guys.. its the GHOSTBUSTERS!! ... whod'yacall?! GHOSTBUSTERS!! Err.. on duty with Heineken? .... Got ghost how?.....

And of course, the evening would not have been complete if I didn't get a picture with the lovely owners of Azzucar, my clients... Miguel and his wife. "Rawwrrr!!"

And a final pic taken just before I left the house for the evening.. before the masks/horns/blood was put on.. still looking somewhat powdery n fresh.. face was much whiter in person... and no, I know it wasn't scary and my eyes were squinty.. but whatever.. "Raawwrrrr again...".... HAPPY BELATED HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!

Photography Work & Friends...

Sometime the week before, I had to do another photoshoot for Azzucar but before that, I met up with a long time old friend, Daryl. For those who know Daryl, he's Mister Herbalife. He's a major big shot in that business....

Everything about him is Herbalife... hahahaha! I've known him since Eirian was about a year old so that makes him about a 7 year old friend already...

He's seen me at my fattest at 100kg some years back and tried to put me on his Herbalife products. If you don't already know that I was previously that size. You can check out my SOYJOY promo. videoclip done earlier this year HERE.

Unlucky as it was for those products, I was that 1% of people who had serious side effects from taking them so I had to stop consuming them or go into shock. Over the years, he slowly saw the transformation with my low carb/exercise regime and imagine the fast forward to 2009 the other week when we met for dinner at the Fisherman's Wharf for Fish & Chips.... :) "Is that really you?!".... always good to get that kind of response...

Then it was down to Azzucar for some work done. Picture first with the club owner, Miguel before we set off to work... and that evening, both my photographer boys went to the club to help me, Darran and En Yung.

Must take a picture with EY ... remember En Yung? *hugs* One more reminder below and you can check out the other photos taken by him HERE.

And thats my attempt to pretend to swing about the already slanted metal pole by the waterside at Vivocity during our photoshoot. "Quick take it! I'm sliding off!!!!".... Hahahah!!!

Zumbathon Again!

Last Zumbathon can be found HERE. California Fitness had another 90 minute but more private one last Saturday at the Novena branch and I would never miss it of course!

If you look to the left of the video, you might catch me too! Check it out. :) And a picture taken with some of my Zumba galfriends...

And Mike Thomas was in town this week and it was practically Zumba week over at California Fitness. Mike T used to the the Group X Manager here in Singapore till David and him literally swapped countries. He's now located in Hong Kong.

There was a Zumba party last Thursday night with him, David and Daniel at Novena. Was a complete blast! Very high energy! I'm looking forward to having him come back down from Hong Kong again to do another Zumba session here... Thanks Mike!! You would be missed. :)

Photography by C. En Yung

One of my friends, En Yung is a new budding photographer. He started out as a silent blog reader who I found out when he revealed himself later, was actually one of my dance mates at the gym and eventually became one of my regular dance class students in my private ZumFit classes.

I love seeing how people explore their interests and passion and hope that they become wildly successful in the things they love to do...

Armed with his newly purchased special lens, we headed out to VivoCity on a late afternoon to take some casual pictures with me. We took a couple of shots and reviewed them at the end of the day and there were several more that I liked but I chose 6 to be featured here... :)

Kudos to En Yung to have quite a good majority of shots that turned out pretty nice. We didn't even take alot so that means the percentage of good shots is high! For new photographers, practice & experimentation definitely makes perfect and it would be great too when one had an eye to capture the "magic" with their lenses...

If you like his work and if you would like to give En Yung a try for some photography work (personal or commercial), do contact him via his Facebook page and leave him a message! He's a really nice guy! Or Email me at honeymeow@gmail.com for his contact number.

This shot.. walking down the stairs going down to the waterfront walkway at VivoCity...

Frowning at the setting sun.. attempting to capture a little side profile...

Sitting by the stairs.... even the setting sun was a little bright... * must put shades on* ..heh heh....

Resting a little by the waterside rose shaped seats...

and finally walking through the rooftop garden at VivoCity.. I like these shots.. and next time, we'll try some action photos and closeups and see how that goes! Thank you En Yung!! *big hugs*

Azzucar @ Clarke Quay

Anyone close to me would know that if I had to choose where to go to, to dance and have a night out. It would be at Azzucar, Latin club at Clarke Quay with their all cuban band, Cubania belting out many of my favourite dance and spanish love songs. *loves*

I had my birthday earlier this year there. Details on that HERE.

How apt it would then be that I now have work relations with them so I have the opportunity to enjoy my favourite live tunes belted out by the new & updated Cubania from time to time.

I really love the place.. the music.. I'm happy to be working with them...

I also had the opportunity to do a little photography work with Darran aka Limetouch *below* when I had to do some impromptu photo session at the club. Many thanks and heartfelt appreciation to Darran for being so spontaneous and meeting me with such short notice. He's a pretty cute boy isn't he!? And he works out regularly at the gym too! Fit, young, cute and still single? Whats there not to like girls? (*heh heh*)

Should anyone feel like they want to give a new photographer a try, you can contact Darran over at his blog. :)
