Wonderful Weekend.

I know I recently posted Ed Sheeran, but I can't stop listening to this song. And I love Rupert Grint!

I've had such a busy, wonderful weekend with the music video shoot and photo shoot for the up coming single (which is coming out so soon!!!). I was also fortunate enough to be invited to the Singapore Hit Awards show which aired on Channel U last night. And to top it off, mum and I managed to go to a christmas cupcake course which was, AMAZING. So I'll write a bit about that!

This is me having done hair and makeup before leaving the house. My shoot was on 11/11/11 (hopefully a good thing, hehe) which meant it was remembrance day (veterans day/armistice day) which is a big deal for me. It recalls the official end of World War I on that day when everything ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month - which means every every year at that time we give 2 minutes of silence (you can see me wearing my poppy to respect in the picture below). It's to give respect to all war veterans who defended our right to freedom with their own lives getting nothing in return. On top of that its a very sad day for my family (as it is for so many) where my great grandma lost 5 of her brothers in that war :(.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old,

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn,

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

I miss being in school for remembrance and being part of the choir. One of my two favourite hymns are In Flanders Fields and I Vow To Thee My Country. Their so moving. Anyway I ended up doing my 2 minutes silence off the set alone but I'm glad I got to pay my respect.

This is another shot in one of the locations...

Big girl, big chair.

And this is the only being filmed shot I'm going to give you for now! Some other people took some AMAZING behind the scenes shots so I'll be sure to upload them in a facebook album as soon as the video comes out (I promise!)

falalalala...

I didn't want to spend the rest of the day with my big hair so look what Desmond did to it after the shoot, so cheeky!

I asked for Pineapple hair but he said he only had Bananas (hahaha...). Anyway I think I've passed my limit of how much info I'm allowed to leak out so I'll finish with a photo that hopefully doesn't give away too much...

Tadaaa! My hair and makeup for my photo shoot for the single which comes out NOVEMBER 21ST!!! so watch out for it on the radio! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Its very special to me as its the first time ever that I'm releasing my own material!

I thought I'd include this photo too - what I wore to the set of the photo shoot. It's my leopard print shirt from FEMMEX!

Anyway after this I got to go to the Singapore Hit Awards show, this is what I wore...

I felt a little silly when I got there and saw some people in complete down-to-the-floor gowns but hopefully I just got away with it being 19, hehe. Stephanie Sun was sitting in front of me! I was so star struck. She's so pretty!

The set up for the show...

Anyway to end my amazing weekend, my mum and I did a cooking course at Shermay's Cooking School which I 100% recommend. They were so helpful. Although it wasn't hands on, they tell you how the ingredients changes the flavour and where to buy EVERYTHING and it was such a comfortable, casual atmosphere. They even passed around extra stuff for us to try as well as giving us our own goodie bag of treats and on top of that extra christmas give aways! So sweet! It was very different to my experience at Phoon Huat before with a hands on lesson. Both as good - depends what you're looking for. I quite enjoyed watching it get done right instead of messing up myself, haha - hopefully I can replicate it at home.

yummy yummy yummy!

Anyway thats all for now - I'll be doing some christmas posts next week (I LOVE CHRISTMAS TIME!!) and some more FEMMEX posts too. On top of that I am going to an amazing party this weekend and I'll be sure to fill you in on that...

Till then!

Enjoy the cupcake eye candy above, hehe xx
