Graduation competition show 2008

It's Snips graduation competition makeup show ' 2008 last night and we have 32 contestants all together with lots of famous art field VIP's being invited to be our judges and special guests. The show was set at 7.30pm, lots of parents, relatives, friends and shoppers surrounded at our stage and anywhere where can see us from level above. Situation was warm and crowded. We, makeup artist/contestants and models are so busy rehearsal, gown trying, hair styling and makeup since early morning at 7.45am. I'm so greatful to have such an obedient and patience model. She's only at her seventeen, a form 4 student and this would be her first show. She and i was so hardworking to hope to have our things done on time so she and i have skip our breakfast and lunch till 3pm.

I was a little panic while make up for my model, worried if the time is enough, if the makeup would smudge, if the makeup is balance, if the blending is soft, if her foundation is clean, if her gown could express her body figure, if her sensitive skin tone would matters, if her hair style could cover her big cute ear and if my hair accessories is perfect on her. It have too much things that i have to worry about which makes me no excuse for not being panic. However, i've managed to done the whole set on time.

Here the show times come. Now not me but all of us especially our models are so nervous, it's their moment to worry if they have all the steps and post correctly without any mistake like steppin on their own gown and so and so. Before it's my model turn for her catwalk i decided to give her a angpao for her whole day effort tho i've told her it's a volunteer show to give her a chance to learn in this field and working together with others pro & semi-pro models. I keep reminding her not to be nervous and just be as professional look with post as possible for that few minutes on stage, just that few minutes and the most important few minutes.....

Great, great she did it... bravo!!! and yes i did it. Tho is consolation prize (place of 6th) but we (she and i) did it out of 32 contestants really on my surprise. I participate myself in this graduation competition in my lowest cost so i do not have a grand makeup nor hair styling but i do put a lot of effort on my idea of creative makeup to be done. God knows who to be worth to. Clemence, proud of yourself you did it again..

By right, i should be happy on my effort but instead i cried when i'm back home. You know why.. can you feel what i feel? People won prizes with all their parents, relatives, partners and friends applaused and take pics for them and i am only alone with no one happy for me. I am not alone, both my parent are here not a long distance that only a few minutes could reach the place of my show held and i've reminded them that it's my show that night with indirectly telling them that how much i wish they could be there to keep me support and be happy that what have their daughter learn for the past half year. NO, they didnt shown up and not a good luck for the whole day so do my dear one. I am so sad when my name was annouced, holding my prizes but no one who i can focus my eye on on stage but seeing others busy taking pics and tears for their loved one effort. I was not being praised yet appreciate since i was young. I am naughty while schooling but i am proud to say that i won a lot of prizes too no matter on sports, activities, quiz, debate, story telling or so on. Today, once again i got at least some achievement on my makeup study so what..will there be anyone happy for me? will the one that i concern would feel proud for me?

Anyway, forget it that's my life just admit it. Now my camera is the one who concern and store all my good and bad memory and my blog is the one who lend a place for me to share my story.

As per above, we went to pavillion for this movie "coming soon" from the producers of "shutter, alone & 4bia". I'm so excited to watch this movie coz it's been ages since i last watch horror movies. I have a bunch of friends here in kl who don't watch horror movies so i'm so kasian cannot watch also lo no accompanion... :( hehe then donno y suddenly one of them call up and ask if i wanted to join them for movie and surprisingly it's a ghost movie so i faster run to join them lo haha.. but too bad this coming soon is not that nice as i expected. So disappointed, i put so much hope as it is from the producers of shutter, one of my favourite horror movie and ends up it was such a boring, no ending and no meaning movie sigh...
