Purikura – The Symbol Of Friendship.

 

Went Purikura-ing with Miki yesterday! It was the first time I go for Purikura!

Miki told me that going Purikura together is the symbol of friendship in Japan! ^_^ Usually really good friends will go Purikura together and collect their pictures in a Purikura Book so to keep as memory!

 

Dolled up for the day.

 

 

 

 

Reached the place! Waiting for our turn! ^^

 

 

 

 

 

Extremely bright inside.

 

 

 

 

DONE! =) We picked 5 pics out of 6. And Miki said that I did a great job! LOL! She told me usually the first time taking Purikura will be a major failure, but I looked good! HAHAHA!

 

 

 

 

Love our Purikura so much!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Such fun!! =)) I’ll keep it well as memory!!

SCOM Foreign Students’ Concert 2011

 

Sorry guys. Sorry for the hiatus and sorry for always saying sorry! LOL!

 

 

 

Updates about the awesome concert 3 days ago! Our conservatory’s International Students’ Office organised a concert specially for the foreign students! Everyone who’s willing to perform can submit their names and works they gonna play!

After a month of preparation, finally the big day is here!

I went to did my hair in the noon as the rehearsal would be starting around 2pm!

Super love my hairstyle! Thank you Rose, my hairstylist!

 

 

 

 

 

Searched for make-up video tutorial online that matched with my dress. It was called Summer Sunset look by Michelle Phan! =)) Did everything myself and quite satisfied with the result. LOL. Credits to Aisha for lending me her eye shadow palette!

I always have to bend down so not to spoil the whole balance. LOL.

Mine was the 4th performance. I played Meditation by Massenet, accompanied by Jiun Hui! Thanks dear!

I was soooo nervous up there but managed to finish it. And I was really glad that ppl kept telling me afterwards that it was really good! =))))) Thank you guys!!!

 

 

Tuning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We gathered at the school canteen right after the concert as teachers prepared some food for us! With Hoang and Kim! XD

 

 

 

 

Miki gave me a really big bouquet of flowers and I was soooo happy! I didn’t expect that and I kissed her on the cheek to express my gratitude! ^^ Thank you darling!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trying to catch the colour of my eye shadow. It was yellow meshed with pink, red and purple. Sorry my flash wasn’t so good. =’((

 

 

Gonna get more pictures from teacher tomorrow! AWESOME DAY!!

Summing Up Gigs.

 

Yes. I’m earning my own money now. Which means I stop getting money from my parents. And I’m thankful that I’m lucky enough to receive a lot of gigs to cover my daily expenses! =)

Anyway, here’s a summing-up of several gigs that I went to these few days!

 

A gig for the 10th anniversary of Fujifilm!

We had to go to Ritz Carlton hotel and stayed there from 12pm to 8pm! Freaking 8 hours ok??! And we were forbidden to leave the hotel because there were 2 rehearsals before the real deal and they were worried that we might not get back in time.

So we were pretty much “locked” inside the pretty dressing room for 8 freaking hours. Speaking about claustrophobic. =.=

 

Luckily all of us were well geared-up! I brought my books to study and managed to occupy myself for 4 hours until I fed up. Then I decided to sketch using the pens I brought!

Tadaa! LOL.

 

 

 

 

Another sister brought her cross stitch kit! Super huge one you know? She intended to give it to her friend on his/her birthday. =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our manager of the day helped us to go out to buy DairyQueen ice-creams! DQ is like the most famous ice-cream brand in China btw. ^_^

 

 

 

 

Eh.. I forgot her name. A very funny friend i knew that day! Violist!

 

 

 

 

 

I donated some of my note papers to the cellist since she was pretty much killed by boredom. LOL. So she spent hours drawing these. XD Very cute moticons she downloaded in her iphone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Snaps of the dress we worn that day! Very simple white gown.

 

 

 

 

 

Very messy + oily hair. So sorry. Coz our dorm was cut out of electricity that day, so no hot water supply. For the sake of my health, I decided to not take the freezing shower. T.T

 

 

 

 

Anyway. Love braids!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Went back around 8 something and had dinner with Miki at Shiro Izakaya!

 

 

 

 

Her Japanese style spaghetti. O.O

 

 

 

 

My tempura udon!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was another gig at Shanghai International Financial Center! It was at the 29th floor. Btw wait a minute. I think Shanghai International Financial Center is the highest building in China? Was glad to have the chance to perform in there!

It kinda reminds me of some very high-tech laboratory. There were a lot of doors you had to get through before you actually get inside. O.O

And the toilet was AWESOME!!

 

 

See what you can do with it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the toilet with sensor! The cover will flip open automatically once you step inside, and it’ll close when you leave too. =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

This gig was the one I went yesterday! At a very very far place. =.= Fancy sitting in the LRT for 17 stations omg!! Like 1 hour and 30 mins. T.T

Very very tiring.

 

Anyway, quite a nice set-up. Chinese-Western mixed together! XD

 

 

That’s all for today! For now I just feel like I don’t want any gigs. I need more time to practise! Hmm.. anyway.. I already got 3 gig bookings for June! =.=

So much so about earning money yea?

Ciao peeps! Hope all is well!
