Happy 5th Year Anniversary

A dedication from me to you.


To my dearest boyfriend,

Thank you for being together with me for the past 5 years.

Looking back through this journey, it feels pretty amazing. We have been through so much. I still remember the first time I saw you across the street around our area, thinking who is this boy. Dance brought us together, as back then we share this same passion and dream. We join our first dance competition together,  perform and shine. We watched countless movies, visited countless places, ate countless goodies and many more.

I'm glad from the start I was so narcissistic. I bring my camera everywhere, and this is when we capture our memories. At times we have to thanks our friends who help us, not to forget our precious Mr Tripod. We like to explore different places, be it in the wilds, town and even around our neighborhood. Often this moments come by chance, an impromptu act. Another passion of us start to grow.

We began our journey to be an artist, an artist inside of us who tell stories through photography or videography.

You're someone who I can freely express myself. I go crazy, sad, happy and what's not. Sometimes, you understand myself more than I do, my expression says everything. We seems to have endless talk most of the time, to update each of our daily life or even to grumble the blues.

Let's work this journey together, always remember I will be there for you. We will not take each other for granted.

I love you, Alvin Thoo.

From your girlfriend,
Jessica Lim 

"There" Short Film by wemerrygoround

Written/Film/Edited by Alvin Thoo, co-produced with Jessica Lim...

Holla! It's been one and a half months since I last blog.  Time for some updates!
Cupcakes for you? ;)





If you haven't already watch, here's Alvin and me first ever short film called "There". 

"There" seeks to elucidate an episode of how/what a person thinks, at the beginning of a relationship, in Singapore.

We often describe this moment as the sweetest. During this period, when the relationship is about to begin, all they wanted was to know more about each other. It is the moment of exploration and aspiration for both the individuals.

This short film allows you to see what unveils in the mind of our character and what appears in his or her thought, just when the moment is about to begin and wanting to be There.

This film is an entry for ciNE65 II (2013) with the theme of 'I'll be there for you Singapore'.





Here's some highlights captured...

Featuring our cast, Lim Yingxin and Nicholas Ng.
















Besides having a good meal to motivate and reward ourselves, we filmed our food!

Feauturing Marche. It's really YUMMYYYYY! ;D







We  also head to Marina Barrage...

Group picture of us!



It was really challenging to shot everything in a day. We travel around the whole of Singapore from the west to the east and then back again.

The complete list of winners for this year's ciNE65 competition is released few days ago via http://www.cine65.sg/blog.php . Though we did not manage to get shortlisted, it was a great experience and learning journey.

We hope you enjoy our very first short film!

I'll be there for you.

My Journey of Colorful Hair

At different time of the year, ever changing.

Once in awhile, random strangers talk to me, or behind me... whispering talking about my hair.

Anyway here am I writing a post about it...

She's not a hairstylist but she's really have got great potential and talented!

Here's my journey of my hair...

The top few pictures featuring my favorite fling hair photos. In various hair color shades of hair color. LOL. Maybe someday I can be part of some hair commercial. And yes, I need to mention before I dyed my hair color, my whole head was red and it faded to brown.







First, I'm a girl on fire.
My first time bleaching my hair, and the first time dying ombre pink hair. When I first had this hair, I was overwhelmed. Hahha!

Second, I'm like a unicorn. Lol.
I dyed Hot Hot pink (diluted with conditioner), Mystic Amethyst mixed with Pimpin Purple. I am pretty much in love with this hair color! Gorgeous don't they?

Most of my pictures is taken when it was pretty much faded.






Then, I asked Andrea to freestyle and dye whatever she wants.

Third, I'm seeing rainbow.
My hair consists of Rock out Red, Hot Hot Pink, Atomic Turquoise and Blue Velvet. The colors make me feel like a rockstar.





I submitted my third hair color in Redken hair color contest and I won! HEHEH. This is my first online contest and I literally spam alot of peeps. Lots of 'Likes' was from unknown people too. Thanks to those who help! It was the first time my hair receive overwhelming likes.

Can you believe I received 378 likes!
It was a tough fight. WOAH.

I won the overall best/wildest hair color. I've also won myself a hair color makeover at Kenaris Salon (which I've yet to claim). DOUBLE YAYYYyyyyyy! ;D






Fourth, I've upgrade to another kind of unicorn.

This color is similar to my second one. It's more girly.
This time round, my hair is of Pimpin Purple, Cotton Candy mixed with Hot Hot Pink.



Most of the hair color is from Manic Panic, only Blue Velvet and Pimpin Purple is from Special Effects.

Ahhhh... I guess you guys is pretty confuse with the hair color.
