hello, hello, it's really been a long time since i logged in to pen a few thoughts (although it will be more than a few thoughts after i'm done, haha!) anyway, i finally found motivation to write something. i told myself, if i can run on the treadmill for forty-five minutes, i should be able to spend a couple of minutes updating my blog. the main subject of this post... ME! (too bad, no gossip about miley cyrus today)
anyway, quick item list of what i have accomplished / done in 2012 so far...
1) simultaneously coached four schools for debates... three of them produced results that i am pleased with, one not so much
2) hosted a lot of events... follow me on instagram (@theonlineeditor) if you want to check out the events that i host. the pictures are not exhaustive though. many times, i rush to the event venue, hop onto stage and before i know it, we're done. no pictures taken.
3) MADE IT ONTO YOUTUBE!!! more details here.
4) wrote a full script for students, produced and directed it. that took up a good three months hence the silence as well.
5) took up leadership position in a grassroots committee and made a lot of enemies (i think! haha.) well the main thing is i got to share my passion in the arts with a lot more people.
well, to not divert from the main objective, let's talk fashion. i have a love-hate relationship with my hosting work. while i appreciate all the opportunities to meet different people and entertain people, the fashion is a nightmare. i constantly have to make sure i wear (a) something comfortable (b) something relatable (c) something fashionable... after all, i am a fashion blogger. so much of my stage wardrobe is planned way in advance, in fact, i plan my outfits once i get the bookings (which can be as early as six months). of course, along the way, i change my mind but most of the time, i try to be as varied as possible.
for instance, here are some outfits i wore for my hosting work at tiong bahru plaza:
the jackets
this was for chinese new year. beyond the festive red and gold, i wanted to something a little more atypical of singapore's fashion. in our humid weather, we don't wear a lot of jackets so it stood out from the crowd yet it did not distract from the event.
the skinny
the two photos are my simple shirt and jeans combination that i wore for the filming at tiong bahru plaza. however, both jeans were skinny jeans. i like skinny jeans for the shape they give my legs, an asset that i am most proud of. just be sure that you don't have a lot of movement when wearing skinny jeans unless the fabric allows it if not, it is highly uncomfortable. i usually wear skinny jeans for static assignments... translate: stand there and look good!
the comfortable
i know, i know! the outfits look nothing comfortable right? WRONG... i'm actually in t-shirt and jeans with really comfortable shoes. this event required a lot of running around which means a lot of perspiration. the hoodie and jacket were to cover sweat patches. what brands were the airy hoodie and jacket? not telling... anyway, i don't think they are still for sale.
well, next weekend, i'll be back at tiong bahru plaza hosting another event from 2pm - 6pm. if you are interested to see what outfits i've chosen. do swing by the mall! for my non-singapore readers, just follow my instagram (@theonlineeditor).
till next time!
fash'on... BAM!
