Last Sunday we all gather at Church at night to support Lex's (my hair and makeup ministry senior) graduation hair show. I was actually nearly overslept from taking an afternoon nap, but fortunately was alerted by one of my friend's wake up call. (whew!) It was a blast, the show actually delayed for half an hour, but is worth the wait.
While waiting, i take my lousy camera phone to snap some pictures... sadly that i'm very disappointed with the quality of the images. I think is time for me to invest on a SLR that i've been long waited...ish ish...(><)
The show kicked off with some performances by African Choir, our own CHC Michael Jackson as well as International BeatBoxer - Shawn Lee, also our church member. Man I feel great and awesome being in such creative and colorful church, full of creative people, indeed our creator, our Lord, our Heavenly Father is a Creative God, Amen?
Following is the videos of the performances by our own City Harvest KL MJ Mr. Foo Ding Khen featuring Shawn Lee.
And after the performances is the long awaited hair show catwalk time, woohoo! I'm so impress with the models and enjoyed the background music (yes, I'm a trance freak) and to my surprise some of the models are actually our church members, only 4-5 of them are professional models outsource from outside.
Toni & Guy has been amazingly created many cool hairstyles, and i feel proud of my friend Lex that graduated from there, and of course, it will be great for me that i can learn from him as i serve in the hair and makeup ministry.
After the show, we have some cocktails and snacks at the church lobby, snap some photos and i buzz off to the cinema to catch ASTROBOY :)
Hey peeps, this is the first time i post my electric guitar here, well those who knows me well, should know that I'm a big fan of ESP/LTD guitars. I spend my hard-earned RM1,050 for this M-50 baby.
I personally was drawn to it's pointy head stock, looks kinda cool huh?
The pickup is using Humbucker pickup similar as those used in Les Pauls, suitable for playing Metal genres riffs.
My next Electric Guitar gonna be Gibson Les Paul! and I'm saving up the money for it now :)
And this is the photo of me performing live on stage with my trustworthy ESP/LTD M-50 Electric Guitar.
On 22 November 2009, Our fashion team consist of me, Jasper, Yi Zhen & Leanne were one of the 9 teams in the final. Though that we didn't win anything, but we enjoy throughout the process, and also the great friendship that have gained through this competition. Well honestly speaking, I never expected that we will be qualified for the final during the Preliminaries Round 6 weeks ago, we really give out our best, and i would like to take this opportunity to say thanks again to my teammates for all the hardworks that had put in. The theme of the Fashion Competition is "Harajuku".
Model - Yi Zhen Designer/Assistant - Joseph Makeup Artist - Jasper Hairstylist - Leanne
We started at approximate 4pm on the day and were given 90 minutes to finish our makeup, dress up, hairdo and so on... You can see everyone including me are quite stress and focus throughout...
This is my idea on putting a wing as a tattoo on Yi Zhen's face, sadly, the concept is not strong enough, compare to the facial art that we applied during the Pre-lim round.
And we're all ready and take a few final shots with other contestants as well as Hannah Tan (the judge on that night) before we go on stage.
And special thanks to Hui Li for the photos, Rou-Xi my best friend for turning up and suppport me, though i let you down... and also million thanks to the ++VU++ cluster that supporting us.

Last night Pastor Tan Ye Peng's service was a blast! I'm so glad that i can attend all the sessions since Tuesday morning. One of the points that Pastor Tan delivered to me, hit me so great, the impact is so strong that i know that it is God speaking to me.
Most of the time we will face obstacles and tough times in life, I'm not excluded as well... Well, i can say that from the year 2000 onwards i face a lots of ups and downs, was disappointed with the people (family & friends) around me, was tortured by the keep coming back eczema allergies, longing for a financial breakthrough, as well as my career are facing uncertain future. I pray to God, but things are not turning to the bright side that I'm expecting. So, i back slided, and didn't attend church services and my life was so mess up... it was the darkest moment of my life. But thanks God, that i joined City Harvest Church, the place where i called "home".
Pastor Tan was sharing to us about how we must keep believing God, keep praying during tough times and He will reveal the things to you at his best timing! Many times we will blame God for not answering prayers, we just don't want have the patience, as if that we want God immediately grant us the things we ask for. But Jesus was saying this in John 11:9
“Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world."
Jesus was actually saying that something must happen first before we reach our goals. 12 hours before the sun rise, if we walk in dark, we might fall and stumble because of no light. There is a timing for God to answer your prayers! and his timing is always the best timing! In fact, God already answered the prayer, but decided to delay it for the best timing to reveal it.
It is because of i keep believing, keep praying.
The long torturing me skin allergies are finally healed! My career are stepping in to a whole new level that God bless me greatly and abundantly! My relationship with my family are getting better and better! Hallelujah! Praise The Lord!
I've learned to trust God whole heartedly, patiently, never cease to pray and believe Him in faith that he is going to answer my prayers! I read one article by Tom Brown that i would like to share here, he said...
An author can write a book that makes the bestseller list, while another book which is better written can collect dust on the shelves because it came out too early or too late. Timing can make or break a good idea.
As wise Solomon wrote, "He has made everything beautiful in its time" (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

MAN's CORNER
For the man's section, what attracts me the most is those awesome T-shirts, yea..you may think is just an ordinary T-shirts, and is not worth RM500 getting one, but you are absolutely wrong! Ed Hardy is a brand with an attitude, you wear it with pride, with a status and with class. They only produce very limited quantity on one design of any of their products from shirt, jeans, shoe to accessories, that's why it attracts the eyes of the celebrities around the world. My tips on dressing is just mix and match, just watch the video above on how they wear it with style, flaunt your sexy belt and underwear out is sort of cool way on wearing it. The most basic one is just a T-shirt match with a jeans will do, oh ya, not to forget to mention the cap as well. By the way, I'm gonna grab a few beach wear shorts for my Penang Trip next month..yeehaa!!! now about the pricing... a t-shirt can cause you RM300 and as expensive as RM700++ or higher, don't complain! as i told you before, this is a celebrity apparels, and wearing it is just like wearing Don Ed Hardy's tattoo on your body. For the rest of the items is usually between RM200 - RM600. So bring extra cash guys!
WOMAN's CORNER
Well as for the ladies, I'm so pretty sure that your fashion sense is even greater then me right? Just wear it extra ordinary with matching what your taste is like. Ed Hardy has lotsa sexy beachwear line for you hot chics! and be sure to grab those accessories like ear rings, wristband as well. The pricing for ladies is slightly higher then the guy's range. (just refer back to pricing of guys above) Oh ya, be sure to grab one size smaller then the size usually you buy because Ed Hardy's clothes can be stretch, so it can show your sexy figure :)
KID's CORNER
Look at those cool stuffs for kids, from shirt to pants, bags and even belts...my God... I'm gonna grab those hot stuffs for my son and daughter. Well how to dress up your kids? i think the most simple and safest is do a father-son, mother-daughter family wear, you don't want your child to look different and not resembling you, right? The pricing for the kids range is much more cheaper that you can afford compare to visiting Guess Kids, Gap kids... Hey watch out the kids of rockstars!
ACCESSORIES CORNER
Lastly on the accessories, remember to grab those caps, wristbands, belts and shoes..whichever stuff that can mix and match with you top...wear it to hit the shopping mall on weekends or even to a party. Is not a must, but essentially, it will grab some attentions from the public...trust me... few guys notice my belt when i flip up my shirt to reach my hand to my pocket... :)
The pricing for this range is always affordable...trust me.
Phew.... I guess you guys have been enjoying it right? be sure to visit Ed Hardy® stores at following places...
• KLCC • Culture Couture at Bangsar Telawi (this is my pastor's boutique) • Lot 10 (opening soon)
one more thing, those claimed to be Ed Hardy brands apart from that you can found in the stores listed above in Malaysia is all fake!!! remember, original Ed Hardy can only be found on the 3 places i mentioned above... beware of the fakes one especially you can found in Time Square. You don't want people to laugh at you wearing the fake stuffs and being jeopardized right?
