Starting the countdown

Heya!

Its been awhile since I went on the net. I have been working as a receptionist at Kimarie. I work a full day. My energy is pretty much drained after dinner. Haha. They needed someone to fill in that position. It gets busy on the weekends. My job is pretty much arranging the clients and the stylist as well as the assistants, answer phone calls, deal with the cashier and entertain clients. It was pretty hard to manage at first, but I got the hang of it soon after. Thank God! Haha...I worked there for 2 weeks plus already. This Sunday will be my last day working. I have to get packing. Mummy is nagging already. = p

How's my preparation to Aussie? Hmm...most of them are done. I had my passport and visa done. My medical check is done too. My air ticket was bought a long time ago too. Hehe...I still have some things to buy, so is anyone up for shopping? Hehe...What I really wanna do is to meet up with my friends. Contact me if you guys wanna meet up. I will be free after this Sunday. ^^

The countdown is starting...Here we go!

Stuck with a crab

Heya!
I just came back from dinner at Puchong with my colleagues. We had crab and other dishes. We are having this gathering as a farewell to one of the stylists, Mimi, who is transferring to another branch. I am not a fan of seafood except fish.(So far...) I'm not allergic to it. I didn't learn to eat it when I was young so my mind tells me that I don't have to eat it. I'm learning to eat them now. I was so silly. I stared at the plate of crab. I don't know which part to take. One of my colleague helped me to choose a piece and cracked open the shell for me. I took my own sweet time pinching out the crab meat. At first I used the fork and spoon. I took a long time to get the meat out. Haha...What to do? I don't eat crab. The was really delicious. There were 18 of us. After the dinner, we went to Mimi's house in 7 cars. We formed a long line of cars racing to her house. It was thrilling. We played around and took photos at Mimi's house. For me, this is the first Kimarie stylist group photo. Here's some shots I took!
Makan time!
We're at Mimi's house!

Group photo! You all have 10 seconds to pose. Ready? Go!



Love is abundant. We can't be selfish and keep it to ourselves. Share your love with others. = ) Jesus loves you very much! Take care and God bless!

Life as a model

Heya!
Yes! Field trip! This time I went to a shopping mall in Bangsar. We went there to style hair for a few models. 5 of them actually. 7 of us went on this trip. 6 students and my principal. We went in the morning. We meet the crew at a boutique called Kate's Closet. These models are participants of a modelling competition. They are beautiful girls. The theme of today's photo shoot is Candy Girl. They have to look all sweet and cute. Let's see the process. First, is the fitting of the garments that was picked out for them. Then, they will go for make-up. Next, its styling the hair followed by putting on the garments and accessories. Final touch up is done and they will recieve directions and instructions for the photo shoot. Finally, its lights! camera! action! hehe...its hard work for them getting the right pose and angle. As for the hair styling part, my principal did most of the work. We assisted her and observed her most of the time. Its fun to be at a photo shoot. We can play around, joke and all that, but when its time for work, we have to get serious. Oh ya, we had free lunch too! Hehe...most of the models are students. So, we can relate with them and chat with them. You can check out their photos and vote for them in this link. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=78349254844. We finished at about 4pm. After observing my principal, I wanna practise more on my styling skills. Hehe...I need a lot of practise. Oh oh...Here's some photos we took...They are taken with a camera phone. So, it might not be that clear. Sorry. Hehe enjoy!



That's all for now. Take care and God bless!

Is this the end?

Heya!

Just a little update. I graduated from Kimarie today!

What's next? I will be studying in Box Hill Institute, Melbourne, Australia in January. I will be leaving Malaysia on the 5th of December. I'm gonna continue doing hairdressing there. Do pray for me. I'm going there by faith. Hehe...I will be staying with my cousin there. I'm really blessed to have family there. I'm gonna miss all my family and friends in Malaysia very much. We will stay in touch ya! =)

Yesterday was my classmate's(Wei Siang) birthday. We celebrated his birthday at Joan's house. We had a BBQ party. The turn out was really good. Even the graduated students and our dear instructor Jeffrey came. Will post up photos and videos(if i figure out how) the next time. Haha

Take care and God bless! Have a great weekend!

Memories in Kimarie

Heya! Today we celebrated our Principal's birthday! We had an awesome time. We took many photos too! Some of the students were left out because they were attending to clients. This shows that we put the clients first. Haha...= p Here's a compilation of my memories in Kimarie since I enrolled into the academy on 5th January 2009.

You can press the link below to see the pictures clearly in Picasa Web Albums.

Blessed Birthday Joanne!!

I want to thank God for placing these wonderful people in my life. They are like my family. The environment I study in is so different from high school. We buy food for our instructors who we treat as our mothers, we wash each other's hair, we borrow equipment from each other, we work together to perform service for clients, we go to our Principal's house for Chinese New Year, we have dance class in the basic room, we chat with our instructors and play around, we go for outings like hair shows, beauty fair and lots more. We spend a lot of time bonding with each other. I really sayang them. Thank you so much for everything!

I finished my last Creative Cut today. That is pretty much the end of my syllabus. I'm going to stay in Kimarie for awhile to revise on my studies. I don't think I can stay there for long though. Hehe...for my dear friends who wants a haircut, sms me or call me ya, we'll arrange a time.

That's all for now! Take care and God bless! = )

Time to show my skills

Heya!
An update since the beginning of September. I think its pretty normal that I go M.I.A. I've been pretty busy lately. I've been working part-time at Kimarie salon as an assistant. I don't do much. Shampooing, apply colour, blow dry, do treatment and emulsify colour(make my fingers so colourful). Sometimes I don't get a chance to sit or eat since the salon is crowded with clients. But, its all in the learning process. I don't think I lost any weight during that process (^^ haha) Yups. I almost completed my diploma course at Kimarie too. I am starting Creative Cut tomorrow. I had to take 2 practical exams on live models to reach this level. A vertical cut for bob hairstyle and a boy cut. I passed my vertical cut a few weeks ago and passed my boy cut today with Zhe Kai as my live model. Hehe...I got a chance to cut for a few of my friends...Joshua, Benjamin, John, Rachael, Miriam, Marcus and Zhe Kai. I have a few of their photos. I hope they don't mind if their pictures are up here. hehe...

My friend Miriam is on the far right.
Zhe Kai. This is how he looks like when it is styled.
After all the struggles and confusions that I encountered this year, I could only say that its all worth it. I reached this far and I praise God for His grace. I had insecurities about my choice to this career path. But I got through that phase because God reassured me again and again that He will be my helper. I hope i can stay longer at the academy to learn more and sharpen my skills. I will miss all my classmates and instructors! They are like family to me. Same goes to the stylists at the salon. Hehe...I guess that's it for now. Take care and God bless!
