RuehYinn & Juleen @ blueepinkk.com

A short post before hitting the sack…

I just came back from the Emerge 2008 Fashion Show preparation. This is one of the things that keep both Juleen and I busy the whole week. If I have not mistaken, we have been preparing for this almost a month now (no wonder we have not seen any movie for a month). From just a simple conceptual a month ago to something surprisingly very beautiful tonight. It won’t happened without the effort and commitment from all the people whom I will introduce shortly…

….

The whole practice itself thought us a simple principle that is:-

Success = Team work + Work hard + Persistency

The equation doesn’t stop there. We also learned…

1. Team work build friendship;

2. Work hard brings result; and

3. Persistency defeats stubborn challenges.

I am so proud of the team that I can’t help but to dedicate this post to them:-

….

1. Alicia Chin - The Fashion Designer

2. Alvin - The Hair Stylist

3. Wei Mun - The Make Up Artist

4. Jen Li - The Cat Walk Specialist

5. Lex Low - Hairstylist of the Hairstylist (bottomline the powerful type)

6. Mi Mi - Alvin’s “Practice” Friend

and last but not least…

7. Juleen Wong - The Model

…..

These people work so hard that they virtually meet every 2 days to practice and they won’t leave the church until after midnight. This is what I mean as commitment. I sat in their first meeting and have seen and heard of suggestions of them wanting to quit, but they press on no matter what. I salute them for that. Equip with just…

a) the heart,

b) some equipment; and

c) guidance from the elders namely Lex’s dad and Alicia’s mum, we have the final design like this…

I think the final outcome is impressive despite having some area which can be improved on. At the end day by just looking at each of them, I realized:-

1. This is Alicia’s first time as fashion designer and I am sure she has gained much. Who say a pharmacist cannot become a fashion designer at the same time?

2. This is also Alvin’s first time styling female hair. He is an expert in styling men’s hair. After this, Alvin not only can style for men but also women. It is a 100% jump in skill improvement where he used to know 1, now he knew 2.

3. Wei Mun who is only familiar with conventional make up, now could do unconventional make up too. Another 100% jump in skill improvement.

4. Jen Li, the finalist for Miss Earth Malaysia 2008, would never thought she would use her experience as beauty pageant to teach others how to do cat walk :-). You make me proud of you, Jen Li.

5. Lex Low, now works with the reputable Tony and Guy, deserve my highest respect. This guy not only offer his professional advice to the team but also at the same time color people’s hair for free. Tonight alone while helping us, he already colored more than 4 people hair!!! He is such a kind and generous person…

6. What to compliment Mi Mi? Hmmm… I, on behalf of the team, wish to thank you for lending your hair for practice…hahahaha!

7. My darling, I wonder whether she will quit her job as dietitian to do full time modeling … Will you dear?

……..

This Sunday is the D-day for them. Let’s see whether they will win or not on the last day of Emerge Conference. After seeing what they have sacrifice, in my opinion, it is not about winning anymore. You guys have put in a lot of effort and have gained much!! Basically, you guys already won! Just enjoy the competition…

….

DID I SAY SHORT POST?? Oh no, it is 3.30am… time to sleep!!! ZzzzZZzzzzzz…

I wrote this poem for Juleen not too long ago (now in the mood to digging up all the old stuffs). I hope you guys will like it as much as I do…

Beautiful You…

How beautiful you are my sweetheart!
Oh how adorable you are!
All night long on my bed;
I think of how beautiful you are;
Are you Gods’ finest masterpiece in Heaven?
An angel sent from heaven to love me.

..

Your eyes are like the finest diamonds;
Small and tiny but enough to sink;
a heart of a big man like me;
Your hair is like royal tapestry;
Lightly curled, black and soft;
Your lips are as sweet as honeycomb;
and your tongue taste like honey.

..

I love to take a breathe of your skin;
the scent is as gentle as summer breezes;
I love to touch you gently on your skin;
It’s as smooth as touching the finest silk.

..

But the most beautiful of all are neither;
your eyes nor your hair nor your skin;
It’s the heart that only I can see;
Its the heart that only I can touch;
Your heart is God’s best gift to me;
The only private place for me and you.

..

Your heart is still a mystery to me;
But you never left me wandering aimlessly;
With love, you guide me through;
the depth of your heart;
Along the journey, I learn you have a kind;
and beautiful heart.

..

Never before I see such a pure heart;
A heart that is all about me;
A heart that will rejoice when I am delighted;
A heart that will cry along with my sorrow;
Your heart and presence are precious;
Most beautiful that I’d protect it forever.

..

Your beauty relieves the sorrow in me;
Your steadfast love guide me to love again;
With this I promise to love you;
in good and bad times;
With all I’ve to give and I feel inside;
the best way I know how;
To love you and cherish you;
completely and forever.

..
