Carmen blogging...

Wow it's been ages since I blog. Well hello everybody. Hopefully this can be a long post, so I can fill you with everything that has happened here. I had 2 fun events just the past week. First was a music recital by the Jazz Band last Wednesday and the Jazz Band Annual Dinner last Friday. Wow was it lots of fun.

First the music recital. We played at an open, shaded area. It was so hot. Had really supportive friends who came by to watch us play some songs. I really had a lot of fun performing together in the Jazz Band. I managed to take some pictures because I didn't have a part to play for the song, Penasaran, an Indian song. So let the pictures do the talking for me.

That's (from left) Yin Yee and Lih Ying... After I took this picture, Yin Yee slap me on my thigh...

Ok la Yin Yee... This one nicer shot of you...
The trumpeteers... (from right) Azreen, Christina and Chun Kit... The violinists at the other end...
Just took these pics from where I was sitting...
KK, Siva and Lin Shan... Lin Shan so focus on the song...

Violinists in action... And 1 cellist...

Trumpeteers...
Last shots... Then I had to continue playing the next few songs...

Then it was the Jazz Annual Dinner on Friday. We had the dinner at Palace D'India., Queensbay Mall. What a great place for good Indian food. So delicious. I was the emcee with Alex. I was so nervous when Alex said he was so hungry, I told him I was more nervous than hungry. I guess it was just the butterflies in my tummy. Well I had nothing to be nervous about because everything went well. Everyone had a good dinner, good company and lots of fun and laughter especially during the games. What a riot! So... pictures, talk. Ha ha. Thanks to Yng Ling, Janet and KK for taking these pictures.

Well that's all. Unfortunately it's not a long post because it's time for me to sleep. It's way past 1am already. So good night or good morning whichever you prefer. God bless.

New looks...

Carmen blogging...

Hi everybody. Long time no see. Well, it's the moment you've all been waiting for. Remember I said I wanted to change my hairstyle. Well, I did it today and I'm so happy with the results. Now with my new hair, I can actually have more styles done to it.

Before with my short, frizzy and curly hair, all I could do was cut it shorter so it was easier to maintain and not get out of hand. And keep it long to the point I look like a lion when I woke up. I'm not saying I hate my old hair. It definitely made me very unique. Not many people have natural curls. It was also easier for people to remember me. Back then I didn't have the same hairstyle everybody had.

But I wanted a change in my look. For almost 21 years, I had curly hair. Now I have really nice hair. Take a look below for my new hair.

Oh yeah. It wasn't only me who did her hair. Alicia did too! So check out our before and after pictures. Ohhhh. I'm so excited.

started working at a photoshop near my place. 5 minutes cycle, 10 minutes walk. lol...that near..haha....the work there is like very slack for most of the days and 1 or 2 days will be busy...i noticed that working in this type of place is like so invading people's privacy...lol...they come and print pictures and we get to know what they been up to....lol...a picture says a thousand words...lol..its true..sometimes i get jealous cos the pictures are their holiday pictures..its good working there..get to see people's holiday pictures, get to know what is out there...we also provide photocopy service, so sometimes people come and photocopy their important document..example like IC, birth cert, marriage cert, police reports, salary slip, upsr/spm/pmr results...lol..we get to see their personal details when its suppose to be private and confidential....

oh ya...our corps just got broke in..they took 2 bass, 1 electric guitar, 2 amps and a projector...i feel very sad cos they took the instruments...they are like pros, kickin their way in. kick down a steel bar window...we took pictures. but will uppload it if carmen approves...lol..dont think she'll let me upload the pics...
