hmm.... i'm so depress that lots of malaysian show girls love to named themselves as a "model".... don't they know what's the different between show girl and model??!!!
"Showgirl" is often used as a term for a promotional girl in trade fairs and car shows, etc. These young women often have no dance or entertainment skills but are there to attract attention to their sponsors' products with their beauty.
meanwhile, model (from Italian: modello) is a person who is posed or displayed for the purpose of art, fashion, or other products and advertising.
Modeling is distinguished from other types of public performance, such as an acting, dancing or mime artistry, although the boundary is not well defined. Appearing in a movie or a play is generally not considered to be modeling, regardless of the nature of the role. However, models generally have to express emotion in their photographs, and many models have also described themselves as actors.
Types of models include glamour, fashion, fitness, bikini, fine-art, and body-part models.
Not all models are beautiful: character models portray ordinary people and humorous types, mostly in print work and in commercials. Photo manipulation and cosmetic surgery also enable people with body imperfections to model and change their looks to suit a certain role.
Various representations of beauty and fashion using models have caused controversy and is known to have some social impact, particularly on young people - both male and female.
so, please bare in mind and don't SIMPLY name someone as "MODEL"!!!!

the gathering of friends...
When it comes to hanging out with friends, one can be sure that it is going to be absolutely amusing and unlimited fun. The talks seem to go on forever and any silly topic can become a point of lengthy discussions. Be it the latest trend in jewelry, the latest gadgets, old classic movies, the cute neighbor next door, work related pressures, there is no end to the list. In this stressful age, getting together with friends has become a luxury than a daily routine. I consider myself lucky coz i get to hang around with friends often.
it's such a pleasure moment while a group of friends able to gather and have fun together... so cool!!! we are not just friend but use to be coleagues and working partners...now we are like "family". even now everyone is busy with own life and career, but still will spend some precious moment together. this is really cool...

15 ways to celebrate valentine's day as a single
It's Valentine's Day, and you're currently without a significant other. This small, but crucial, fact can mean the difference between enjoying this holiday, or ranking it as one of the year's low points (and hey, it's only February…). It's not enough that red, white, and pink roses are popping up everywhere and there are ONLY mushy cards in the card store, and all the commercials focus on just how incredibly diamond studded Valentine's Day could be - for you - IF you were in a romantic relationship. What's billed as the “most romantic night” of the year for couples can leave singles feeling a bit… odd and left out, to say the least.
What's a single person to do?
1) First, recognize that you're definitely not the only one. estimates that more than 80 million people will spend this holiday as a single.
2) Decide what your vision is for Valentine's Day. Is it a day you want to celebrate? Or would you prefer to treat it like just another day? If you choose the latter, then go through your normal routine for February 14, knowing that February 15 will arrive and life will be back to normal (at least until next year…).
3) If you choose to celebrate Valentine's Day consider making it a date night with yourself. Make or order your favorite meal, chill something wonderful to drink. Rent a favorite movie, or buy a new book - whatever makes you feel special and cherished. Make this night sacred time for you to think your thoughts and dream your dreams.
4) If you've been invited to a Valentine's Day party definitely considering going. There's a pretty good chance that you'll meet some other singles to spend time with. This is especially important if you belong to a church or social group which is hosting an event - this could be a high level attraction venue for you, as it will draw others with similar backgrounds or interests. Make sure you look and feel your best.
5) If you have several single friends, consider throwing your own Valentine's Day party. Have every invitee bring a guest - you're likely to meet new people and have fun doing so!
6) If throwing a party feels like too much work, consider getting a group together to go out for dinner and/or dancing. Try to go to a “fun” restaurant such as Planet Hollywood or Hard Rock Café - someplace that is too loud for intimate dinners.
7) Use this day to try (or buy) something new. Pick up a hobby or a craft, cook a new kind of cuisine, work on a home decorating or improvement project. Time will pass quickly while you're beautifying your surroundings.
8) Exercise today! This will clear your skin, tone your body, and keep the endorphins flowing. You'll also feel more relaxed and will sleep better.
9) If you like children, consider offering to watch your friends' kids while they go out to celebrate. You may have a great time baking cookies and building furniture forts and will earn your friends' gratitude in the process.
10) Spend Valentine's Day giving and sharing your talents with other people. Give of yourself on this day- maybe by volunteering or helping out - you'll find yourself tapping in to great joy.
11) Use the night to catch up on your overdue correspondence such as emails, letters, thank you cards. It's another way of reaching out and staying in touch. Plus it will be a relief to clear those off your “to-do” list.
12) Consider spending the evening listening to live music, or hanging out at a local coffee house or bookstore café. You can do your own thing but still be with other people.
13) Draw names and trade Valentines with your friends. They can be fun or silly but they are a great way to solidify your friendships.
14) Use the night to catch up on your sleep. Get ready for bed a bit earlier and wind down sooner. Americans are generally sleep deprived so catch up when you can!
15) Finally, remind yourself that by not spending Valentine's Day with just anyone, you're taking great care of YOU and preparing for a wonderful, life-long relationship!
Happy Valentine's Day!

lets get into it ~ part 2
here are the 4 other things to adopt in 2009...
7 / the realignment of luxe
I appreciate a nice vicuna hoodie as much as the next guy, but it's also a little disorienting the way luxury has extended its tentacles into even the most mundane wardrobe items over the past few years. Well, thanks to the economic meltdown, I'm expecting that trend to reverse, pushing luxury and utility into their respective corners in 2009. When you think about it, there's something comforting (if not quite silky soft to the touch) about a sweatshirt that's made of good old cotton and not Loro Piana cashmere. (And, of course, an ultraswank Valentino dinner jacket that looks like something you actually had to save up for.)
8/ harrington jackets
created by Baracuta in the thirties and named after Ryan O'Neal's character on Peyton Place in the sixties, the Harrington is having another moment at the end of whatever the hell we're calling this decade. If you don't already have one, now's the time to buy one. (And if you don't like this polka-dot interpretation from Perry Ellis, both A.P.C. and Corpus—not to mention Baracuta—offer more understated versions.)
9/ cuffed shorts
I'm walking the line between reporting and endorsing on this one, though I'll say this: If pleats are involved, the look is probably best left to runway professionals
last but not least,
10/ high-contrast plaid
some trends mean something. others just mean some eye-catching new shit to wear. guess which category this one falls into.
with this 10 tips, hope that you will live, life and fun with fashion...
lets get into it ~ part 1
predicting the future of fashion is next to mission impossible ~ so lets get into it!!!
here, 10 emergent trends that well define how you dress in year 2009. please bare in mind that don't just adopt them all in once!!!
1/ liberty prints
thanks to the green thumbs of labels like Shipley & Halmos (pictured), Obedient Sons, and Liberty of London (which lent its trademark blooms to Steven Alan for shirts, ties, and boxers), look for flowers to have more power than ever in '09.
2/ unstructured shoulders
sport coats continue to soften up in '09, especially in their summer-weight incarnations. this example from Bottega—which is essentially crafted from shirting fabric—allows for maximum style with minimal sweating.
3/ perf's up
look for a proliferation of perforation in the year ahead, courtesy of everyone from Common Projects to Louis Vuitton. and that's just footwear. Labels like Duckie Brown, Gucci, and Hermès carried out their holy obsessions above the waist. (Just remember: I said perforated, not mesh.)
4/ backpacks for grown-ups
maybe it's because more people are riding their bikes to work, or maybe it's because messenger bags are just dorky, but we haven't seen so many nicely designed backpacks in a while (though we're going to go ahead and recommend you skip the bunched-up trousers look).
5/ featherweight windbreaker
sharp-looking, and as an added bonus, it won't take up too much space in that new backpack.
6/ separates
seriously, they're not just for Joseph A. Bank shoppers anymore. all-American names like Tommy and Ralph sent the look—by which we mean blazers paired with slightly mismatched trousers— down Spring runways, as did the suiting gurus at Zegna, seen here.

portraits with souls
A face devoid of love or grace,
A hateful, hard, successful face,
A face with which a stone
Would feel as thoroughly at ease
As were they old acquaintances,--
First time together thrown.
-- "A Portrait" by Emily Dickinson
i have done some portraits during my shoots... I'm loving every single piece of it~ coz every portraits have souls...

2/ tie a knot in the center of ribbon. event out the ends as you pull tight.
3/ tie another knot over the first knot and pull the end of the ribbon to flatten them out.
4/ pin it on vertically and you are good to go.
