Vietnam- Hue Festival (part2)

Vietnam- Hue Festival (part2)


So, after we settled down everything in the hotel, took a nice shower, enjoyed nice cold drink in hot sunny day, when the night came,

It's time for FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
(I shall bombard you all with lot of  foods from day 1 to day4, whoever is hungry, just scroll the page down as fast as u can to skip this).

First meal with Curtis King band! Nothing special compares to Singapore food!

Reserved!!!



 Food menu! It's clear enough to read!


The hungry monsters in the band
(Anti-clockwise: Eric, Fumi, Duc, Thanh)


Grilled mackerel with lemon sauce and butter!
Disliked coz it's too dry to eat and that was our first meal (dinner) after a long journey. Most probably, either we were so tired or the foods were suck. But thank God, next day breakfast was much better. 

I'm having my meal at the place which was meant to be for a Queen in the old dynasty. :D

Talking about Vietnam is talking about "Beef noodle". So yum~


Fried mantou or fried pau, by far it's the best pau i ever ate. 


Fresh lychees!


Passiflora incarnata fruit which is told that it's good for digestion. 
Example: Your shitting frequency is 2 times in 5 days. After eating passiflora incarnata fruit (wtf, mad long name), you gonna shit 5 times in 2 days. Try it!

Ok stop the disgusting topic here! Watch out your saliva as I'm gonna throw you some super duper yummy foods. *Jieng jieng jieng*

Crab meat soup with mushroom. It's the real crab meat one with some pepper eating while it's raining and cold outside. I could eat 2 bowls of this.


Grilled beef in wild betel leaf or Wikipedia calls "Lolot" ! Woahhhh

Grilled King-prawn, I love you!!!!!!


Sour fish soup! *swallow my saliva and tongue licks over the lips*


HUGE steamed clams with chili sauce. It's seriously big. One clam is as big as my palm, am not kidding and it's so juicy, omg! I wanted to faint coz of over-satisfaction.


Steamed eggy-crab! Tell me about it, small crab but mad heavy with full of eggs inside. 

We were having this yummlicious (yummy + delicious) meal on the seaside in the afternoon. It was indeed so hot and sunny but surprisingly, the sea-wind could blew all the heat away so that we could enjoy our lunch to the max. :D

When the night came, it's time for Drinking and party and Music Festival show.

Hue-indeed is super quiet city in middle of Vietnam. You hardly see any happening night activity in Hue after 10pm. Every family closes the door, turns off the light either watching TV or sleeping inside. However, during Hue Music Festival, it wasn't that bad.


With the band! From left: Curtis King, Duc, me, Jake the snake.


The band leader: Curtis King and me.

Jake the Snake and me. Believe it or not, this 70 years old plus man could sing much more powerful and better than all the youngster hiphop, rap singers nowadays. Love him! 


on the stage!
The band, not me.


Second night! with awesome Drummer from Japan at the back.


here she is!  She got me so amazed to see her on stage. Such an amazing and talented drummer i've ever met. She is so cute too!




Celebrating after the show at the most happening bar in Hue (according to the rumors)



Hue at 2am! People were still sitting along the road to chill and chat.  It was just 5mins walk-away from my hotel.

It was so so only, drinking and chilling in Hue. You'll get bored if you stay there for 1 week because there aren't much places for you to go. You will most probably end up drinking at the same old place every night.

I was enjoying for my first 2 days with the band and the shows. After that, I was totally attracted by other activity which was:


Woohoooo!!!!

I put my first step into gambling world!


Casino in the hotel! Mini-casino perhaps! :D

My most favorite game coz it gave me so much money :D

 Dont know how to play this! Pretending only!

I only played the game above. First time ever i tried! Won USD$535 in total!


Looking so calmly while seeing the girl counting money i've won (in Vietnam Dong). In fact, I wanted to jump, Hahaahhaa

Now it's time to show off!!!!!



Wallet became so thick, lolz! So basically, my Hue trip is totally FREE!!!!! How awesome is that???

And now you believe why I fore-told at the previous post that I had the most happening and fun trip ever so far. Not just ended up here, I'm coming back for the part 3 with loads of fun things to seeeee!!!!!

*Just done all photoshopping today, total 1GB of photos for this trip itself. Let's you all digest this bloody long entry first, i'm updating another very soon!

Now, time to dress up for party tonight! ^_^ Wahhh! So busy!

Vietnam- Hue Festival (part1)

Vietnam- Hue Festival (part1)


I was back 3 days ago and i have no other word beside "AWESOMEEEEE" for my Hue trip. You MUST read til the end to believe me.

It's my best traveling episode ever so far.

Start with the airplane first!

We booked 2 different flights to reach Hue. One is Tiger Airways to reach HoChiMinh city which took us about 1 hour plus and immediately, we gotta rush to domestic terminal to catch our 2nd flight from Ho Chi Minh to Hue.

I was landed and walking from international terminal to domestic terminal to jump onto this airplane.



Vietnam Airlines. Boarding was delayed 30 minutes later as planned but so far it's still ok becoz we needed to rest anyway.

Another 2 more hours passed, we have finally arrived Hue and here is our Hotel!

HUONG GIANG RESORT HOTEL!!!!

The hotel is HUGE, clean, beautiful and most importantly, they gave us to stay in SUITE room regardless we only booked Deluxe. How generous they are! :D Once we arrived the hotel, the first thing they did was giving us lemon juice to drink, sitting down at the sofa while waiting for them to do all the checking in process.

On the way to my hotel room...

Let's see what they have offered me here! 

Beautiful living room!
 

Wooden furniture all around. Everything is made of wood.

And know what? The room has 2 bathrooms. This is the first!

and the second one with bath-tub.

Artistic camwhore with my make-up table.

and HUGE bed!


Mini bar


with different mini-wine bottles. Cute ^_^


Fresh flower changed daily. 

and FREE fresh fruit.

iPod touch and mini speakers.

   NOT from the hotel :D

Beautiful river view from my hotel room.

at day


and night. 
Changing color bridge somemore :D

Tell me if you have any hotel better than this? I haven't even mentioned about the bar, beauty salon, swimming pool, gym and many other stuffs yet. So basically, I'm just a Most Satisfied customer with such good offer.

The hotel is deserved a good camwhore pic from me!


an artistic one! Love the effect!

Dancing with Crystal: Practicing with a Professional dancer


Feeling bored?????

Watch video!




This is the piece of my dancing practice with my new partner for the coming up dancing competition in June and July. It isn't complete yet coz we still have another 2 more dances to go. But somehow, my dream after 9 years dancing has finally come true.

I'm turning into Professional Latin Dancer!!! Woooohooo...*Mad mad happy*

After so many times changing partner here and there I wish to have a super good dance partner so that i could learn from him, rather than somebody is equally good to me coz it will usually lead to some arguments along the way which i hate OR somebody is not in same level as I am. I then have to teach him more than i learn. *Dislike too

So now, i can fully focus on my dancing and my new partner is Rock and super hot :D There are few more dance choreographies are coming up, we are still trying to work our ass out. Just gotta wait and I'm sure you will not be disappointed. *roll-eyes*

DEAD SEA MUD MASK

DEAD SEA MUD MASK


It was raining in the evening yesterday when I was supposed to go out for a dinner. I did all makeup, hairdo, wardrobe *it usually takes me an hour to do all anyway* then it rained. Hate it to the max. I felt super lazy to go out after that, but nothing to do anyway. So I thought of giving my face a good treat, lying down on the couch while having a yummy self-made strawberry ice-cream. Who cares about the rain anyway? 
I used Dead Sea Mud mask which is said to be good for all skin types. This is the sample


My first impression on Dead Sea mud is "Ewww, it looks gross" and trust me if you ever smell or touch the ditch mud. It really smells bad. But dead sea mud is different that's why all spas earn lots of money over this service.

Normally, when you go to a beauty salon, you'll still look good even with the mask on. 


But when you are at home, it's a different story. Here is my version. 


Not everyday I'm doing Dead Sea mask, might as well take many fun photos while it lasts. 

Upset face!


Sulky face! 


Bubble face! I


What's up face! Lolzzz

 I don't know why I kept thinking of this baby face  when I look at my photo. 


But I have one dimple, baby doesn't. 


Angry face! 


Credit to my blink cam man for capturing those hilarious pics. It's so outstanding with the black face background from behind. HAhahahaaa.

Now, It's time to wash my face off and show you how awesome flawless and smooth skin that the mask gives me! 

For the best result, I gotta carry that face for at least 30 minutes until I feel the mask is dried and cracked out. It's time to rinse it off.

HERE I AM!!!!!
A non-make up face at all. 


Totally smooth and flawless!!!!!! 
Wanna touch? Hehehe

Close up shot of the awesome skin

Can't believe that all the blackheads are 80% gone and the pores are tightened up.

This is the NON-PHOTOSHOPPED photo at all. 

You can always try it at home and experience how awesome it feels. Sometimes it's good to spend a little time to pamper yourself especially your skin because everybody wants to look good and beautiful. Don't be a lazy woman! 

I don't want to look horrible when I get old. I already know how will I look when I'm old. I learn that we can't decide how old we are, but we can always decide how young we look. 

Looking at the mirror and asking yourself  "How young you want yourself to be"?


 I'm about to finish this  post and it's about to rain again. 

This weather in the weekend??? Not a good idea.

I'm still trying to enjoy my weekend even though it's a storm coming in. Have great weekend everyone.

MY WEEK IN PHOTOS

MY WEEK IN PHOTOS


Some random photos I took from various occasions, various time and locations too. 

An old photo shoot! I was bored so I decided to photoshop my own photos! Can't show you the original one because it's so much different. Here is the nice one!


Might have over-photoshopped a little! :D

MTV Music video shoot!

I went for an MTV music video shoot somewhere last week. It took us 4 days altogether to finish the practicing, rehearsing and shooting. I didn't sing, I was back up dancer for a Japanese rapper. But somehow I was the one who chose to shoot with the singer most of the time and yet I did have 1 shoot just for me to dance solo with the Lamborghini, Bentley and the hot singer. :D I can't wait to show you the video, it will be done most probably on 28th April. Here are some behind the scene photos and video, check it out HERE!

Lamborghini! 
That so expensive Lambo was for me to stand on the seat to dance during the shoot!



Bentley! The second car for the shoot!

Somehow the crew managed to get the sponsor of all these luxury cars for the video and the one who got FULL benefit to enjoy the car is ME.

I did not only shoot with the Bentley but also had a ride home in Bentley! You can really feel the speed when you are in it 


Car interior. 

Random photos



Office wear for a meeting! I haven't been in it for such a long time. :D


Underwater shooting in the house! I managed to make a better shot this time! 


Tried a different style! Super long wavy hair and red color lipstick. 



I might be traveling soon again and this time it's gonna be interesting. But no worry, I will still keep my blog updated so just stay tuned and remember to follow and rally for me at BEST MODELLING BLOG
