24th Singapore International Ballroom Dancing Championship

24th Singapore International Ballroom Dancing Championship

November 02, 2011
The biggest and most awaited competition of the year was finally over. For God's sake, it took so much of my time, energy and commitment to this special competition. I and my partner had been practicing for 3 hours every day without fail during the last 2 months. I can't explain how exhausted I was, how painful my feet and back were, how stress I felt. Sometimes, I even felt like giving up but many encouragements, supports from friends pushed me further, beyond my limit. And at last, WE MADE IT even though it was our very first competition together in Professional Latin category. I'm happy with what I've done.

I still haven't gotten out of the joy and happiness yet for whatever we have achieved. OMG! It's just so amazing. Gotta share with you some photos during the competition.

I at my make up the corner which was the corner of the dance hall :D. 


Beautifying process. The cool thing was nobody found I'm weird because every other girls did the same thing as I did during the competition. It's fun. 


Banana for energy :D

I have fans here!

Taking a photo with a Korean girl (on my left) and Vietnamese girl (my right side) who got so impressed by our dance show. They wanted to have a photo with us. 



So here you go! Don't look at my partner's abs, it's depressing I know. 

I and Michael before our show dance started.

One more. 
Many people said we both look pretty much like brother and sisterr :D

Ok, enough of photos. Now..

watch the videos

But that's not the end yet. After the victory, we are now starting our journey of 3 hours practicing a day again for the up-coming competitions: Singapore Open Dance Championship which will be held this weekend 6th November 2011, a day after my birthday and Bangkok International Dancesport Championship on 13th November in Bangkok. It's crazy!

Hopefully, it all will be good! I'll update you more once I return from the competitions. Stay tuned and wish me luck :D

{BTS}: POINT OF ENTRY

{BTS}: POINT OF ENTRY

October 19, 2011
Hello, I'm back, people!


This probably the longest time ever since I started blogging and I left my blog "dead" for so long. 


Anyway, I've just finished my 2 months project filming for a local movie series called "Point of Entry". 

 Finished! Finished! Finished! OMG! You can tell how excited I'm feeling right now. It was a fun journey with entire crew and I learnt a lot of things. 


Point of Entry basically is1-hourr action drama about an elite team of Immigration Checkpoint Authority special agents, and their fight to keep Singapore's borders safe from smuggling and illegal immigration by land, sea and air. That also means whatever you are gonna watch on TV are basically real life stories that are collected every day/ month/ year. 


They have finished Season 1 and Season 2 is back due to popular demand. 


And know what? I'm gonna be on the 1st episode of Season 2 (Watch the entire episode here)



I'm glad I did a great job. This was also the first movie I've ever done so far.


Guess what role that is?


A prostitute! Yeah! 


Initially when being invited to play this role, I was like "How come I always end up in such drama roles: ghost, suffering mom and now prostitute?". But then after reading the script, I agreed to take part with the only reason: it's talking about a Vietnamese prostitute whose life suffered so much in Singapore. She was pushed to be a prostitute, transmitted HIV, loved but couldn't love. Literally, I'm speaking on behalf of 1% of pitiful Vietnamese prostitutes in Singapore. The other 99%, I do not want to comment.  


Cut a long story short, there is sweat, tear, blood, anger, love, revenge, pain in her life. I couldn't reveal much the story before the movie is showed. You just gotta watch it and give me some constructive comments if my acting is lousy or good :D 


Now, sharing with you some of the nice photos I took during the filming. 




Hair and makeup. 


Half way there....

and done!
A complete look



Second outfit: Party look again for Ly (the name of my role) to work in the bar.


Third outfit: Naive & decent look whenever she came back home with her husband. This was the moment she lived life for herself and enjoyed the love. 



"At the hotel" scene. Can you see the knife Ly was holding? She wanted to kill the customer for pushing her for sex but ended up she didn't. 


That's Ly when she finished her work with "customer". Count the money and go :D


This is Crystal- after finishing shooting a scene :p


"At the coffee shop" scene. This's the place where Ly worked to make her living. 


Resting after the shoot.
From left to right: Bernard, Rajan, Me, Benjamin.


Me and Benjamin who acted as my husband in the movie :D


Rajen, one of the directors of the movie. They have 6 directors all together for this season. 


One more scene with Benjamin shooting at a HDB flat in Serangon. 


Self touch up in between scenes. I remember we shot this scenes from 6pm til 12am midnight which includes some scenes at the HDB flat, some by the road, at the car park etc...


At HDB car park. There were many passers-by stopped and watched us. They even came to ask me, what movie are we shooting, which channel & etc... :D


"In the pub" scene which involves some fighting actions 


 Rajan, me and Jamie



 Rajen and me


 I & Bernard waiting for set up


"In the handphone shop" scene. 
This was the most dramatic scene for me. I had to act like a crazy woman who doesn't need anything in life anymore besides killing herself and the guy (Friven) who gave HIV to her. Ly (my role) hit Friven, tied him up and wanted to die with him. She was fierce, scary yet very emotional and hurt at the same time. The most difficult part for me was when I needed to cry out loud. Can't wait for you to watch it.



Outfit for the shoot. It's me happily waiting for the crew to set up lighting and sound.



 I and Michael who played Friven role. We were connected on Facebook for a long time but have never met in person til that day we did the shoot :D


There are many more photos to share but I guess, I shouldn't reveal much the content of the movie. I'm sure it's very touched real life story. I'm not sure if the Vietnamese girl names Ly is still surviving after her HIV but currently she is in Vietnam and ICA refuses to let her to come back SG regardless the numerous appeals the husband have been trying to do. 


What a pity life!

GET YOUR SEXY BACK WITH MARIE FRANCE BODYLINE (PART4)

GET YOUR SEXY BACK WITH MARIE FRANCE BODYLINE (PART4)

September 21, 2011
Sponsored post

I can't believe that I haven't been blogging for 2 weeks. This 2 months have been crazy months for me :(. There are so many good and bad things happened at the same time and I was like a roller- coaster with many stuffs. But the latest thing about me that I need to share with you guys is: I'm being an actress *woohoo*. The reason I was away for so long because I was engaged in a movie of Channel5 called "Point of Entry" which will be showed in early December *Yay*, my new dance competitions are coming up in the end of the year too plus my busy work schedules and etc...

Anyway, there are so many things that have changed my life in different ways. I hope all is good. 

I'm about to continue my blog entry for Marie France Bodyline with the 3rd treatment that they did for me somewhere last month. Now, I have finally gained back my shape and figure but I do really miss their treatments. I used to spend 2 hours in MFB office for a good massage once a week everytime I felt tired and getting away from work. :( 

The last few treatments they tailored for me were very good. It all started with a good massage. 
In my 3rd visit, MFB tailored for me 3 different treatments:

First:  Mineral Mask Treatment (MMT). It's actually a full mineral sculpturing treatment using an electro blanket. It really helps to release large amount of stored calories in the body 

First, the therapist applied the mineral mask into my tummy

and then she massaged for 15minutes. 



Leaving the mineral mask to absorb into the body and reinforces the tone, firmness of the tummy area. 


Second: Vara Pulse Treatment: It uses sonic energy to painlessly pulverize stubborn fat and reduce the flabbiness in the arms and tummy area. The treatment breaks down hard to lose fat deposits around the hip, giving me a slimmer, shapelier silouette



The therapist applied some oils onto my tummy and she started massaging. I super love the massage from MFB <3. It could compare to 10 minutes of me having heavy work-out after my dance practice.


There the wrapping time. 

Applying one more layer of mask and waiting for another 20 minutes for it to get dried off. This was when I fell asleep most of the time. :D 

Third: Ultrasound therapy is to further break down stubborn fat deposits




All my tummy and arm fatty are liquefied through a state of the art Ultrasound machine. A body modeling gel that contains plant extracts is used with the Ultrasound machine to tone the skin and reduce the appearance of "one range peel" cellulite". This ultrasound treatment is one their most effective treatments of all. I believe so! 



That's me after the treatment with a much slimmer and flatter tummy. Happy :D

Wanna see the result after 3 weeks undergone intensive treatments?
Here you go, before and after photo


I did not do any photoshop of these 2 photos, purely original so that you can see the obvious difference. Picture tells thousand words, I guess. 

Interested yet? All you need to do is to check out their WEBSITE, or join their FACEBOOK fan page or TWITTER to get more updates.


Stay tuned to the final blog post because I'm gonna reveal the result with PROOF. See ya!

{SHOP}: PERRY AMBER.

{SHOP}: PERRY AMBER.

August 31, 2011
Advertorial

Today's blog post is all about photos of...myself. I kid. 

Actually, I wanted to share with you some good stuff. 
Everyone knows that I'm a big fan of online shopping. Reasons?

- Convenient and time- saving. You can just stay at home & click the mouse, everything is done.
- The feeling of receiving and opening a parcel is like receiving a Christmas gift. I like
- Good, cheap plus unique stuff. 

Plus, I know my clothing size so I don't need to try them on, I just need to choose the design I want. So that's the reason why I always buy stuff online- especially clothes. 

A few weeks back, an online shopping website that sells clothing, accessories for ladies ONLY has just launched, and they offered me to pick up some of the launched items on the site. The website is called: PERRY AMBER. 



They have quite varieties of stuff from clothing, bags, accessories, etc...and the good thing is the price is very reasonable and affordable. Below are some of the items available:


Didn't I say the prices are cheap? Yes, I did!

I managed to find 2 pieces of clothes for myself. One is purple-black babydoll lace dress:

Purple + black = Magical romantically sexiness :D

The circle bottom makes the dress look so cute and dolly. I love the circle skirt/ dress. 


Scoop neckline is an ideal to show your  *ahem* cleavages. I know, men will love this.

If you want to go on a date, this dress with a flower as hair accessories is definitely a recommendation. 


The thing I love about this dress is the BAREBACK. OMG! I'm always going crazy over the bareback top, bareback dresses, etc....They are so sexy.

How much does the dress cost? Only S$28 including tax. See! You can still be sexy, classy even with the affordable clothes. It's all about STYLE!

The second item I got for myself was a blue looser sheer top or I'm wearing it as a dress because I'm not that tall. So here you go!


Blue chiffon material with brown hems and customized belt. These two colors surprisingly match pretty well together and I got attracted to it from the first look.

You can wear it like a top.


with simple straight hair style


It'll give you a dreamy and innocent looking.


or extra sweet look too.

And this is how I wear it as a dress.


Don't forget to wear a pair of sexy pumps to add more fuel into fire *roar*

in black 
or brown that matches the hem color :). It will give you credits for being a sophisticated Fashionista ;)

They have yellow color too in stock if you want to have different colors from mine :)




Love the looks I showed you? You can have it all. Just simply choose anything from there. They always have new stuff coming up. But guess what? Here is the good news for my beloved blog readers.

Simply key in "PACRYSTALSG10"  in the voucher code to enjoy 10% OFF total bill. Madness!!!!

So what are you waiting for?
