Behind the Scene: Lisa Surihani

Selamat Berbuka Puasa. I dug out some behind the scene photos of popular film actress Lisa Surihani, as a gift for my Malay friends.

Photo was taken while I style Miss Lisa Surihani for a contact lens advertisement. Oh boy, she is surely pretty and sweet, exactly like what she seems on TV, and I must say, she is really professional. The photo shooting session lasted many hours, and she was feeling uncomfortable due to eyes infection, but she still gave her 100% effort and performance.

Lisa was so worn out during the long-hour shooting. She had to close her eyes whenever the photographer was not pressing shuttle release.

An Afternoon with State Assemblywomen YB Gan and YB Chua

I was totally stunned when YB Gan Pei Nei, State Assemblywoman for Rawang, text me for image consultation this morning. 3 hours later, when she showed up with another State Assemblywoman, YB Chua Yee Ling (for Perak Kuala Sepetang), I was relieved to find that they were just friendly, down to earth, energetic and open minded.

This is exactly what I'd pictured them to be. After all, they are rising stars from PKR! They are the voices of the common people like me, and I wouldn't want some snobbish, arrogant people to represent me in state assembly or Parliament.

I had a great deal of respect for female politician like Fong Po Kuan, Elizabeth Wong, etc etc. Can't believe now I get to dress two of the female politician that I admire so much. I feel very lucky, and truly honored.

今天早上，当万挠区州议员颜贝倪小姐发短讯给我，要我为做造型设计时，我简直是不知所措。我还真没有为政治人物做过造型！而且，尊贵的国州议员们会不会高高在上，难以相处？

幸亏，当YB颜贝倪带着另一个YB蔡依霖（霹雳十八丁区州议员）光临敝店时，我很快就发现两位年轻女士亲切、开明、充满朝气，和我们这些平民百姓，并没有太大的不同。他们带来的几位朋友也同样健谈而亲切，不摆官威。没错，民联的人民代议士，就应该是这个样子的！我才不要那些“高贵”、“贵族气派”、“珠光宝气”的人，代表我在国州议会上发言。

我常觉得，女性是政治的良心。真没想到，能为我心仪已久的政治新星们做造型。无关商业与收入，这是一种纯粹的荣幸！

Green Fashion - Bags Made from Recycled Rice Sacks etc

Recycled Product
Go Green! These bags and wallets are made from unlikely trash such as rice sacks, cement sacks, etc. To turn these unlikely trash into rugged and cool fashion accessories, the bags are also laminated so that they are water proof and can be easily wipe clean.

What is Fairtrade? Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices (which must never fall lower than the market price), Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.
