After that, I brought mom to Kim Gary for lunch. Had the set-lunch that came with spaghetti and fish fillet - thanks to Wen Ching for stiring up my crave for spaghetti last night. aHhhh... Then comes shopping!!! It has been a while since I shopped at Mid Valley.
Went to Padini and got myself a new pair of slacks. Now, what good is a pair of slacks without a shirt? *Hehe* *Snort* *snort*. Got them at a discount. While walking around, a Loreal salesgirl approached us and told us about a promotion they were having. "Purchase above RM150 and you get a goodie bag filled with free gifts, a free make-over with hair-do and a free studio shot".
Sounds like a good bargain. I just need to replenish my Loreal products ahead of time *Hehe*. Mom gladly tumpang along to make it to the figure. Then, they tagged me for the make-over and placed me on queue. There were plenty of girls getting their make-overs. It is almost like a factory - girl with no make-up goes in from one end, then supermodel comes out the other end. This is fun!
Waited for half-an-hour and finally, my number was called. First stage is the make-up by a professional make-up artist. The make-up artist, a lady, was very sweet and nice. Gently, I put away my glasses (Pssst mom, keep this for me).
The lady started with the base. Gee! I didn't know two-way-cake was so effective - better than my foundation-plus-loose-powder combo. Then she asked, "What eye-shadow colour do you like? Green? Purple? Girls here like purple - it looks sexy." I replied, "Err... that sounds nice but I would like to have that innocent good-girl look". So she replied, "Earth-colours then."
She also trimmed part of my eye brows and curled my eye-lashes. In less than half-and-hour, she is done with me. Next is the hair-do. I sat in front of the mirror and Aiks! Why I look so farnee wan. Then comes the professional hair stylist. He studied my face for a little while and started working on my hair.
"Er... can you just straighten my hair ah? I need to go for screen test sometime this week leh" I said shyly. Then he replied, "Screen test? Hmm... so you need a decent look. Ok, I'll do what I can but I definitely won't straighten your hair". And he started doing his magic. As he starts to get excited with my hair (or what's left of it), I asked, "Will what you do to my hair survive a hair wash?" Candidly, he replied "Girl, if it can last for 3 days and a hair wash, I will start charging you."
When the hair-styling is done, then comes the grand finale. The photo-shooting. A very nice guy-photographer came and offer a few simple garments for me to try on. Then he asked me to pose. I felt so stiff like a robot not having its gears greased. *All that sitting in a computer job must have made me look like a log.*
Then he started to guide me, "Bend, lean forward, smile..." *Snap* *Snap* "Turn, yes... smile" *Snap* *Snap* Then he told me, "How-Dit How-Dit" (means sexier-sexier in cantonese). Ok lah. After the photo-session he told me, "Loreal will sponsor you one photo. The rest you have to buy."
I've already expected it *Mom has been telling me throughout the whole event* How can we get a way from a FREE gimmick? So, he brought me over to the printer (a lady who prints the photo, not the print device). The lady was using a Presario X1000 - ahh... good choice, I have faith. So she said, "Pick one". After some consideration, I just chose one.
And here it is.... *Nice ah?*
I was so tired after that. The whole event took me 3 hours. Time to go home liow....
