The Fortunettes

This post is way way way overdue...

As you all know (or may not know...), I was casted alongside 6 other talented individuals as one of the main character in my school's play titled THE FORTUNETTES last year. The story was set throughout the mid 60s to late 80s. It revolved around 4 talented young ladies who were in a girl group together, think Dreamgirls but quadruple. It was about how they got discovered, rose to fame, fell in love and how fame lead to the end of their friendship and disbandment of the girl group. It was the story of how 4 best friends ended up going their separate ways but reuniting after years and years apart for one last reunion concert.

I was casted as Judy. The youngest among The Fortunettes and the most demure out of all the other girls. It was tough at first, having to juggle singing, dancing & acting all at the same time. Not to mention having to engage the audience and understanding your character inside out. We had practices from 8am-6pm almost everyday. The cast & crew were like family over the few months we worked together.

I had a blast working together with everyone, especially the director, cast & crew. We had our ups & downs but what's life without it, right? 

Here's a peek of what the play was like :)

We also submitted out play for the 12th Boh Cameronian Arts Awards. 

Proud to announce that we were nominated for 5 titles and awarded 4 titles out of 5. Couldn't have done it without the awesome bunch.

Second Anniversary

Another 365 days have passed since Sheng Wei & I celebrated our first year together. I can't believe we're already at year 2. It's crazy how time flies and I'm still so madly in love with him. 

Got picked up by this cutie at Raz's place after school with a bouquet of fresh roses and adorable gifts. Loving the Lush products he got his brother to bring back from the UK for me. All the lovely scents *_* Not to mention the cute little handwritten card ♥

We got home and I surprised him with a personalised puzzle with our picture on it & a jar of love notes. His reaction to it was adorable as he figured out how our faces ended up on a puzzle :p

It was surprises after surprises. He added a new charm to my Thomas Sabo charm bracelet while I was busy getting ready for the night. The airplane charm symbolises how much I love & long to travel around the world. It's beautiful! Each charm represents something and I love it ♥

Dinner venue was a surprise but I took a wild guess and got it right the first time :p we were heading to Cantaloupe, Troika Sky Dining for dinner.

The food was worth every cent. Both of us enjoyed our meal there very much. My Duck Confit was especially delicious and so were the oysters. Definitely heading back there some other time. Ambiance was beautiful. We had a great view of KLCC and a nice space to ourselves.

It went from day to night real quick. The city lit up like a christmas tree and it was beautiful. 

Playing around in the lift because the lighting was nice :p 

Next stop, surprise dessert venue?

Thirty8, Grand Hyatt. 

Had their Signature Cake & Broken Cheese Cake. The ambiance was perfect. We had a couch to ourselves and cuddled over comfort food. It was a perfect end to our night. 

When you're vain af and your boyfriend gives in by taking pictures of you hehe ♥

I had such a great time and I was so happy. I can't believe we made it to 2 years. #TEAMSWZ :p Fell in love with someone who loves & takes care of me like no other.  SOOOooOooooo much love *_* Thanks for always having my back & supporting me throughout everything I do. 

Happy Anniversary,

I love you ♥

Someone Special Turns 19

Last week, on the 26th of March Sheng Wei turned 19! It was 2 days after I came back from Aussie and I had so little time to work anything out. Thankfully, I managed to plan a mini surprise for his birthday and it was funny how he didn't suspect or expect anything at all :p 

We had plans for dinner with his family but I decided that birthdays only come once a year and dinner is never enough in my opinion :p 

I didn't have class for the last two periods so I went to his place and decorated his room with heart shaped balloons & filled it with little gifts I got for him from Australia. 

So it went a little something like this...

His college ended late on that particular day. I told him that I was having my tuition early instead of at night since I left school early. I told him that one of my friends would drop me off at his house later on and he believed. He took his sweet time from college back home since he didn't have to pick me up. Little did he know, I was already in his room filling balloons with air, writing little love notes and pasting them all over his room with gifts on the side. He called me saying he was on the way home and I told him I was already at his place. I gave it a bit of time before calling & "crying" to him on the phone haha! I told him I went upstairs to leave my bags in his room and I wasn't sure how but the huge scissors on his table fell on my feet and I was bleeding badly :p Not sure how he pictured the scenario but he rushed home as soon as he could. From a 30 minute drive home to 15 minutes (uh-may-zing)! He ran upstairs and opened the door wide, only to find me uninjured and full of surprises :p

It made me really happy that he was unaware of the surprise at all and that he was so happy to come home to this :) 

 I'm glad I made your day boo! Love you, always.

Ghost

I did a shoot with Husaini a long while ago but I wasn't allowed to publish the photos until his exhibition was all wrapped up. I'm pretty excited to share these photos because it was something new to me and I found it really cool how his photography & editing skills were crazy good! 

It was quite challenging because I'd have to be in the shot with a white cloth over me and I had to stay really still after I posed. After the first shot, I had to run away from the frame asap so that Husaini could capture the same frame but without me in it. The outcome is amazing! Not sure how it's even possible to do such wonders to a photograph but I love it! This was in the same haunted house from the previous shoot I did with him. I was actually kinda scared because I was modelling as the ghost and the house was huge & abandoned.. ironic and kinda creepy :p
