❤ GWEN ❤

A rose blossoming in the season of spring. A sunrise waiting to peek its glorious rays over the mountains. A secret hidding inside the pandora's box. An angel voice waiting to be heard

August 30th


Veri blessed!

I haf the best singing coach ever! Who offered to give me extra lessons to coach me on my songs. Ah he's super nice >.<

And my boss called! Quite a pleasant surprise..

Had steamboat with Daddy & Mummy :D love to be the only child having dinner with them, feels so l.o.v.e.d~ During dinner, i was nudging mummy and bugging her to teach me to cook and guess wad she said,"can be princess don't want, must do all these kind of chores, why ah?" ahahaha so funny, now i know it's not because i'll mess up her kitchen, she said, i can stand ad watch her cook cos she usually brushes us off the kitchen area. I love her expressions when she acts cute with me, it's so funny when i try to be cute AT her and she replies me in that same tone, makes me stare at her for minutes at a time. She's my wonderwall :D

We're gonna watch 881! i know i'm really really slow, i havent even watched Hairspray~! So will probably catch the show with mom and aunts tmr or monday, the last time/movie we watched was The Exorcism of Emily Rose. And shopping with mommy on saturday!

And i love it when he calls me his "lovliest baby girl" when he needs me to do smth heh.

Pretty dusty here..



Been to some places and met pretty interesting ppl lately, have so much to say but i'm really exhausted and lazy to go into details but i guess the pictures will make up for it. Besides, my brother said the only thing that's missing from my blog are pictures. It feels veri bare but i'm not exactly a cam-whore so that explains (the heading haha).
However, i'm really enjoying what i'm doing under all the project/workload pressure. I'm veri grateful everything has been going well for me lately, if not better..
A special acknowledgement to Michael who took the extra effort to bring me arnd to places during his leave. Super nice! Thank you!
Baby has been away alot these few weeks and will be for the next 2 weeks *boo* (can't believe i used that word, it's so gay rofl), Army open house will be over soon, hope he takes care of himself meantime. really miss him.. :(

Random ramblings


I just took the entire weekend offf from EVERYTHING, and i'll be staying home with baby, have a goooood rest, play alot of games and surf the net, which i realise i hadn't do for a long long time! I haven't visited fwen's blogs, or funny blogs like Go Fug Yourself, Xiaxue and watch XMAN on youtube! Dammn i used to be soooo lazy, had so much time watching and reading nonsense.

So, today i went tot surf arnd! Read Peggy's blog and she seemed very upset lately, nvr seeen her so troubled, she was always so positive and on the go. Really hope she gets better soon. She learnt my special line! A ZA A ZA fiGhTinG! Lol there's a special way of typing the fiGhTinGs! SEE! fiGhTinGs! Used to use that on everything, esp encouragements, super korean ^-^o Kinda love it when the korean say it, its not exactly accurately the way they pronounce it, but it just gets me up when i tell it to myself! a ZA a ZA!

And Melobie posted a picture of me while cooking! Jialut! But at least that was fun, i made beef spaghetti, was kinda tedious cos the kitchen was steaming but luckily the beef turned out yummy! And you know, if you pour in some milk into cambelle soup, it taste super delicious! But not everyone likes it, but i do! We accidentally bought wrong cans of cambelle, mixed them up but it turned out veri well too! Think it was cream of mushrm and potage. Hope we can do it again when she's back, i loveeeeeee cooking, my mom doesnt wanna impart her skills to me, worry i might ruin and mess up the kitchen, hmm, all these seems somewhat familiar, haf i blogged abt it before -_-

And the Xiaxue road trip videos are pretty funny and i think Rozz is cool. Hope Season 2 of Heroes and How I Met Your Mother(this is a really funny comedy!!) will be out soon, i wanna complete Friends S1-S10 (that's alot!) and desperate housewives and scrubs!

Gotta go prac some songs now =/ my mom's been pressing me to discipline myself and prac my songs. -____________________- maybe next time i'll put them up! =D

Out
All right, here are more designs with boxes! tried to get pretty boxes but they're quite expensive! The customised ones are more popular, so i took some pictures from the ones we made for our customers. Liangyou made more ytd but it was still solidifying so i didnt take pictures, will have more to showcase soon!

Seashell
Pandaren! This one is really adorable, i also bought the Teddy mould. heh
Customisation, Contour shape

3D Heart!
Also available in Square moulds
And Stars!

Was so exhausted running errands arnd sch. Waited pretty long for the last customer cos i had to deliver the item to her, but she seemed pretty happy with it, so that makes 1 very satisfied customer! ^-^o
Next wk is gonna get busier, my boss is urging me to return to work! Pressure! T_T cos i'm kinda tired of working ever since my attachment workload became a tonne heavier. Working after work is craziee, its like 9am-9pm. Anyway, bbl!

Business Times!


All right, finally got some pictures up! And the stall's up, but everything was in a mess today cos this was totally a last min thing! However, there were a couple of gd things that came out of it =D If it's confirmed, i'll fill you in later!

SO... TADA!



Kinda half designed this poster, took me alot of work! Well us, but i designed the cards and my brother was veri kind to me, he helped worked the stickers out for me. thank you!

Okay, first up!

My favourite design!! Jin Keat bought the first piece ^-^o (super support! thank u)
And i like it veri much cos it's in 3D!
$8.90


And these are the Valentine's Hearts! It's sold separately here,
but you can buy the whole set of 5 for $22.90.

$5.90 each

I think most of our customers prefer to have their soap customised! We'll have more samples done as there are 3 other moulds, namely Oval $9.90, Square $9.90 & Contour $12.90!
I didnt take a picture of the soap with the photo, but it looked pretty good, next entry!



I think this is one of the prettier moulds we have, but unfortunately, i wasn't quite thinking so i made it yellow hahahha, but it turned out well, i just didnt quite fancy the colour.

$8.90

This WAS my favourite, an ideal Christmas gift! Purple isn't exactly my favourite colour but you can have it done in other colours!

$8.90

There are other shapes and veri cute animal moulds (panda, pig etc) and a wide range of colourings and glitter which you can add into the soap.
So please support us if you like the products! These are all custom-made so you can just let us know exactly what you want. I'll take more pictures of other designs (sorry for the poor photography) and if you'd like to purchase one, just send an email to soapfullyyours@hotmail.com or tag me for more information!
I'll probably be going arnd buying more moulds, clothes, bags and boxes this national day! Veri fun but i'm spending alot of money! On the sch's credit tho =D
Thanks for reading, Ciao!

Phil Hansen

Strokes of Genius. Modern day Da Vinci.
Absolutely awed and impressed by this young artist. His art, his vision, his devotion, dedication and talent is remarkable. Really really like him, here are some of my favourite works by him:
Bruce Lee



He did this by dipping his hand in paint and hitting the canvas! Veri cute! I mean Bruce Lee is famous for his "YA TA!!!", and he applies the fighter's characteristics into his art which is amazing!

As of April 30th 2005


His works often have a political stance. Several years ago, Hansen devised an image of President George W. Bush by hand-painting the names of 1,700 coalition soldiers killed from the beginning of the Iraq War until April 2005.
"They're dying for George Bush," he explains. "They're dying for an idea that he had and unfortunately it wasn't a clear idea."



48 Victims
If you've heard about the Green River murder case, i'm sure you know who Gary Ridgeway is.


Value of Blood500ml of his blood was used to make this picture of Kim Jong Il on a canvas of 6,000 bandages as a protest against nuclear proliferation.


A Moment
This was created on a rotating circular canvas



He distributed his phone number via the Internet and asked people to call him and tell him something that changed their life. All of these moments of change were written over the course of 136 hours of which he didn't leave the work space except for restroom breaks!

You can watch the video on youtube to see how some of his works are done, veri impressive!

Thank you


One of the most memorable moments in school happened yesterday! A nervous breakdown coupled with excitement and gratitude towards those who didn't know me and supported me, and especially those who knew and came down to yell and vote under the scorching sun! Thank you so so much!! And pls help me thank your fwens, and your fwens' fwens!

It always feels a little disppointing when you know you've won the competition, and esp winning over the people(unexpectedly!), but sometimes you just lack a teeny weeny bit of luck. Don't get me wrong, i'm not being hateful or angry that i didnt win, afterall, it is just a title and titles can't validate a person. And of cos i'm a little sour! I wouldn't be, i daren't, if it wasn't for the crowd who voted for me! Really happy cos i hadn't tell a single soul in sch that it was going to take place but things turned out so differently last min. Especially when Yingzi/Liujia came down specially to accompany me in the morning and Liangyou stood under the blazing sun, perspiring for me! HAHAHAH and thal was so cool, he yelled the whole time, so did my classmates, my brother, his fwens, my sister + her bf, baby who came down last min and MUMMY who rushed down from work sick =/ felt so lucky(so sorry she felt so sick afterwards due to the heat)!! Made me realise that even tho my grp mates, my sister and i have disputes all the time, they still came down to cheer me on regardless of what had happened before(people can be so forgiving! i guess you cld also call it "huan nan jian zhen qing!".

When i felt diffident and crazy nervous, my classmates tried to calm me down and asked me to sing to them in class (haha that took me A REALLY LONG TIME TO OVERCOME, so paiseh), when i felt i wasn't possibly going to get in, they told me i was the best out there and my hp rang soon after >.<, and my fwens were never stingy with compliments! Heh

Liangyou was funny, he and i, we both know didn't really see eye to eye with many things in the project but when this happened, our fwenship improved drastically and he could tell me there were ppl saying," i'd do anything for gwen!", "That's damn cool la", to me. lol, sometimes, people are just shortchanged when it comes to praising other ppl. So yes, i just feel a lil unfair when there weren't enuff stickers for my(they claimed to be!! ok actually just my brother his fwens and baby) voters who were all the way at the back and veri guilty cos everyone stood in the sun finding stickers lol. I'm just sorry and happy if you felt that i was a winner, many ppl told me alot of funny and nice comments from which they heard from the crowds. It's not my first time joining a competition so i shld just accept the fact that the tv organisation is sometimes veri indecisive and messy and that contestants pakat. at least i know how everyone feels, and that's all that matters! Baby said i didn't lose to anyone, i just lost to the system. So i should cheer up alr! My heart was kinda fluttering when i heard the crowd go, "woooo..wahhh." when i sang a few lines of my song to test the mic, so so sweeeeeeeeett! Somehow, that made me want to hang on to my dream! ( i decided to try smth i did b4 on my prev blogs again soon!)

Ok too bad i left my camera in the bag, my sister cldn't take any pictures. At least the winner seemed nice! She kept talking to me, but i was so anxious i kept sticking with my fwens when we're not filming, dear said i shld mix with them, instead of being my usual cool self -_-. Everything happened veri fast, and there was a guy who came to me when i was resting and said i sang veri well, keep it up. hahAHa, so sweet, i'd nvr have that courage, but thal said i had a man's ballS that day!
^-^o

I guess you reap what you sow! No effort = no results! To get so many ppl suppoortiing last min was unexpected and i wished i had told them abt it, cos they said they'll bring all their guys down! haha but i dunno, just embarrassin to ask right?

Huge thank yous going out to all my fwens who were there, and those who smsed me, it was really thoughtful and i just really appreciated the effort everyone's put in. This has been a wonderful experience!

TP is airing on the 3rd episode of Hey Gorgeous.

Migraines

AH! Been soooo busy this 2 weeks!! I'm going slighty crazy today, really tired from the walking and lack of slp and sick and tired of being sick and tired. But it's been a really well-spent day, i spent almost half of my afternoon today in artfriend at bras basah after lunch with baby, June and Dave. So happy to see her, hope she likes the gift.

I'm so excited about this project, beginning to see some results after all the work we've contributed. Feels good to see our products come into life!

Bought sooooooo many supplies today, spent more than $100! Teacher's gonna kill me!! OVER BUDGETED hahaha but just think and plop the items into the basket w/o having to consider the price tags really veri shiok! It's a really bad habit i need to kick tho!

Okay anyway will try to take the pictures of the soaps and everything and put it up soon! Hopefully i can get someone to help me put up a song and tagboard onto my blog! It looks so dull!

Ok ttyl!
