2012 Christmas Celebration | No comments:

Call me boring but I always lead a very dull life. Partly because I have a small little baby boy and a powerful EMPRESS at home. I never attended any parties, never been to any chill out session and I probably didn't have any social life whatsoever. And another reason would my crazy working hours. I used to have to work from morning till late night, even more so on a PUBLIC HOLIDAY. I'm pretty glad that I'm out of it. Fashion industry is a lot of fun, but the ridiculous working hours is not.

So this year, I had it differently!

I spent my Christmas Eve by helping out in Dining In The Dark KL. Serving drinks, chatting with the guests, carrying coffee and tea up from downstairs. Tiring, but fun!

After all that, I went to sit down on my favorite spot in TEN On Changkat to online. I probably annoyed the DJ so much by asking her to help me with my laptop's power plug. I think I got her to plug in and plug out of my cable at least 6 times? OMG, I'm sorry DJ Evilecktrik, if you are reading this, please don't hate me!

Clock ticks 12am and there were fireworks and sounds of vuvuzelas making a lot of noise outside. Very annoying, that vuvuzela.

The party had started upstairs so I went up to snap a few photos of the partying upstairs. But I sucks at taking photos and I ended up with these sucky photos.


Horrible photos.

Anyway, I had an eye-opening jaw-dropping views of couples french kissing in the open. I was kinda terrified really. Hey, it's not everyday that i get to see couples having tongue action live. But it's not something that I wanna encounter often.

After that, I went back to TEN to annoy the hell of the DJ again and was joined by my colleagues, Rain, Tong and Darius. As it was getting ridiculously noisy, we headed over to The Whisky Bar KL for a really nice mature drink. And we had chocolate fondue accompanied by a shot of whisky!

After our chit chatting session, the gang had to leave because they have to work tomorrow. I was left alone waiting for the husband to come. And this happened.


Not bad, not bad at all.. :D

Fashion Illustration : Green Evening Gown Sketched Half Asleep | 2 comments:

So I slept really late last night because I had three glasses of long blacks yesterday. I went to sleep at about 3.30am, not because I was sleepy, but because I got a shocked looking at my eyebags. It's crazy.

But then, my brain decides to wake my body up at 7.00am for no reason.

GREAT!

And then while I was sitting on my working desk, my right hand starting doodling something....

And voila.. this illustration is done!



The left hand looked so damn deformed!

Dining In The Dark KL, Changkat Bukit BIntang | 3 comments:

Last week, I was given the privilege to give Dining In The Dark KL a try. 

As the name suggested it, guests are literally having their meal in the total darkness. Pitch black! This is a very interesting concept that started in Europe but Dining In The Dark KL is the first and only restaurant in Malaysia with such extraordinary idea.

When I was informed by my manager to be ready for this adventure, little did I expect that it will be so dark to the point that I can't even see my own hand.

This is what you will see throughout the dinner.

So I was kinda nervous when I was guided into the dark room by the "Darkness Expert". I was hanging on to Amy's shoulder so tightly because I don't wanna be left behind. It did helped a lot that I had my friends with me. It made me feel secured knowing that I am not alone.

Once we were seated (with the help of the "Darkness Expert" of course), we were served with our choice of drink. Guest get to choose their preferred drink from a selection of wines, juices and soft drinks. 

Right after that, our food came.

The menu was kept a mystery to give our taste bud a test.

There were more than ten choices of food, consist of appetizers, the main courses and also desserts. The food were prepared to perfection. Each of them was carefully selected by the team to allow guests to enjoy the gastronomic and wonderful experience to the fullest.

Me and my friends had a really good time eating, guessing what we put into our mouth and enjoying the music in the background. There were one moment, which I particularly fond of, when Nicole, the restaurant manager, played a Teresa Teng's number and all of us including some of the other guests started singing to it.

It was very memorable indeed.

I was in awed with the top notch service provided by the Dining In The Dark KL team. With most of them being visually impaired, I would say that they did amazingly. I was totally inspired by them.

I would say that this is an eye-opening adventure that I think everyone should give it a try. After the dinner, it made all of us realized how lucky we all are to be able to see the light.

Fashion Illustration : Red Chiffon Evening Gown | No comments:


I was really excited when I was requested by a client to re-design her prom gown to change it from beautiful to OMG-THIS-IS-GORGEOUS.

So we had a discussion and we came up with a two ideas, one was to add a sash at the back to resemble a tail. Next, a better idea came by. And that was to change the sweetheart gown to ONE SHOULDER with a looooong sash flowing down from the shoulder. My client loved it! I love it too.

The next task was to search for fabric. And boy, it wasn't easy to find Silk Chiffon in the exact same red tone of the original gown. I was walking around town for two days looking for it. And I was so relieved when I found it in Gulati's, Kota Damansara! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

And here is the sketch that I've done for them so that they have a better picture of what I have in mind.




I gotta go and start work now. I can't wait to see the final results. Stay tuned!
