The Scarflets meet Heliza - My Amethyst

Wheeee! See the excitement on our faces?? So we the scarflets had made plans with Heliza and her bestie Gee Jah to meet up today! Particularly at Chic Pop, Jaya One Mall cause Ami and Jezmine was also there opening up their booth. I had class in the morning and afterwards headed straight to Jaya One. Good thing the route was easy peasy! It's like a miracle for me to finally go places on my own now :)

I arrived earlier and met Fira, Lyna and Cik Epal there.. Then came Maria, then Riqa..then Yanny.. thennnnnnnnnnnnn Heliza, Gee Jah and Heliza Helmi Production team! My jaw literally dropped when she came in the restaurant cause I was in awe with her beauty and flawlessness. Haiihh cair aku! To top it off, she's super adorable and wickedly cool! Talk anything with her, and you'll never get bored! Most of us, the scarflets, including me ate our lunch halfway cause we've gotten more excited to snap piccas rather than eat!Hehe.. Not everyday a young, bubbly and talented celebrity eats in front of you, eh?(Yeah, she sat in front of me! :DDD)

Thank you Heliza and Gee Jah! :D

Bloopers - My Amethyst

Have you ever watched a movie, where at the end of the show, the filmmakers decided to put in screenshots of mistakes that the actors did while acting? I'm sure most of you do, aite? Well, same goes to visual 2D photoshoots. For now I'm talking bout mine of course. For every post, sometimes I would post from 5-10 images in my blog from my outdoor photoshoots and hmm, just to let you on a lil secret, the original shots taken would go up to 70 shots! The rest of the images are usually of like these below:

1. Outfit not ready. As most of my photoshoots are to portray the outfits, it is crucial to have the outfit in a promotable manner. So when wind comes in, it sometimes makes it a bit hard for me, except when I really want the windy effect.

2. Facial expressions that involves around sunny and bright conditions. This was one of the most burning-hot-sensation-felt-photoshoot I had so far. The place was very spacious and no shade at all. Hence, exhausting and tiring facial expressions arises :P

3. I suddenly froze and stare in the air blankly. As zoom lens were used, in the photoshoot, the distance between me and the photographer is very far. Sometimes I can't even hear what he's saying from the other side. So yeah, this is what happens when I'm not really sure what to do LOL.

4. Unwanted people in the background. Again, my sister, being the photographer this time, is the type who just snap snap snap without giving me any orders. She's so far away from me and that led her to snap the image. Plus it was at a public place. Indeed I couldn't shoo them away, could I??

5. Just when I am ready in a posing stance, the image captured goes blur. Bad photographer! :P
But really, blurred images happens a lot espesh when you change the settings of the camera in different lighting conditions. We've got lots to learn, so trial and error is alwayssss ;)

Hehe..just sharing this with you guys for fun's sake yahhh.. For those of you who are already familiar with taking fashion photoshoots would agree with me here, I think :D :D

Happy Faces at the Reloves these Preloves Event! - My Amethyst

The event yesterday was overwhelming! Why? Cause today most of us sellers are having flu's and fevers already! Haha.. Don't worry..we're okay now :))

As we've anticipated, girls came in as early as 11.30 eventhough the event actually starts at 12. I know you guys are anxious! So did I!! hehe.. I had the time of my life meeting each and everyone of you that came.. Everyone was breathtakingly stylo and deserved to be called fashionistas. Here's to you girls! :D Thank you girls for tagging me on fb. And sorry if I cannot pay credit to each and every photographer for these photos. But anyhoo, thanx!!

Sorry no outfit photo from me. I was busy snapping your outfits! Plus I was wearing something simple too. So no focus on me, but on you guys! :D And by the end of the event, lucky girls who were style spotted by the EH! and InTrend team got their piccas taken, let's hope it appears in the magazines soon! Weehoo!

Oh and btw, sorry if I looked tired and all yesterday. I was actually diagnosed with a curable sickness and is now on medication. I received an MC for missing out my class that morning, but I choose to go to OBB cause I knew I would miss a lot if I didn't!

To Scarflets, with Love - My Amethyst

After getting all giddy giddy with our pre-made plans via twitter, we made it last night where the twelve of us, including Nana and Rina's friend(sorry I didn't get her name) had a scrumptious dinner at Good Evening Bangkok in OU. We made such an impact in the restaurant as usual, with Maria's loud chatter and my hysterical laughter! :P Like really, my tummy was in flames due to laughing and not because of the spicy curry Fira had! LOL..

And, we finally decided to form sorta like a club for our sister hijabis. But this time, we're called..

We ate until we're full. Check.
We talked like it's nobody's business. Check.
We camwhored like all the time. Check.
We gossiped like the world was ours. Check.
We shared foods. Check.

We had an unforgettable time together. Check.


I love you all, scarflets. What's our next plan yaww? :)

Shea 101 - My Amethyst

Here's something boring for ya'll to read..haha..

* I eat burgers upside down. I just feel that the sesame seed bun is much sturdier and can hold the entire burger nicely. Weird? I know!

* I secretly wish I was wearing braces. I just think they're TOO DAMN cool!

* I do not like overgrown nails. Must be short short short. Clean and liberating.

* I cannot stand seeing people brushing their teeth with the tap running. It makes me feel guilty seeing it!

* Given the right car and track(roads of course), I will drive as fast as I can. If only I can learn to drift. haihh..

* I've always dreamt to travel with my future partner, exploring other countries without following a tour guide.

* I'm a girly girl, but I am also one of the selected Wirawati terbaik on my PLKN programme in 06. Woohoo! ;)

* I alwaaaayyyss misplace my stuffs!

* As much as I adore cats and wanna sink my face onto their furry bodies, I simply just can't. In 1 sec I will go ahh-chooo!

* I get goosebumps whenever I have a tummy-ache.

* I can never pinch a kid with all my might. I will just pinch 'em halfway, again I'll go guilty if I know I made them cry.

* I always take a peek whenever I come across a reflective surface or a mirror to check on my scarf. Perempuan-biasalah tu!

* I hate lizards! Big or small I hate their chewy-rubbery-like body surface! Yuckkk!!

* I used to hate add maths back in school. Pure agony whenever the sound of my teacher's footsteps arriving to my classroom. And I still hate it.

* Talk politics with me, I kinda like to discuss em.

* I genuinely loathe liars and all in between. They just deserve hell.

* I love staring at beautiful girlssss... heck I'm normal and straight ok!

* I can read minds. Usually my mom's of course...hahaha ;p

So there you go. One weird Shea. haha..
