I’m not sure if you still remember blogging about N.E.mation and how I had so much fun at a stop-motion workshop. Well, that was just the basics of stop motion. Using the same principles, there are so many creative ways of creating stop motion videos and I was at the back stage scene of the 10 finalist teams of the N.E.mation! 6 competition.

It was a total eye-opener. The area were divided into tents and each tent had a team working really hard to bring their ideas to life. The students were remarkably hard working, coming in very early in the morning to start work and staying till the wee hours. They were doing what professionals out there are doing except with a lot more passion and at a much younger age. It was a very motivational experience for me to see how hard they strive to win.

Harnessing their different talents, the used different mediums for their stop motion productions. Clay, water color, paper cut outs, drawing with gyroscopes and more! Every single movement has to be absolutely detailed! It’s honestly enough to drive some people insane!

But these students did what most adults have never been able to do in their lifetime and they did it with so much commitment and professionalism; it was simply impressive. I just walked through tent after tent with my eyes wide with wonder and my jaw dropping to the ground.

And finally I’m glad to announce that their work is complete! You can visit http://nemation.sg to view their full videos and participating in choosing the top 3 videos. It’s gonna be a tough choice to make cause I think they are all really good!

I think that their home grown talent should be appreciated and commended and I would vote even if there were no incentives. But N.E.mation! is really kind to reward voters with the chance of winning a prize as well. So here are the prizes that you might win should you vote for your top 3 videos.

On a completely unrelated note, here’s what I wore the day I headed down to the back scenes of the stop motion process to cheer the teams on. It’s was straight after work so I was a little washed out.


 

 

Asian Brunch

I usually go for brunch with my girlfriends on Sundays and on Saturdays it’s brunch with my parents. But unlike the western brunches with the girls having eggs benedict or fluffy pancakes. My parents prefer the asian breakfast style. Meaning it’s usually, dim sum, bah kut teh with rice or congee. Personally I love both western and eastern breakfast dishes and most importantly, the company that comes with my weekend brunches.

Attended a friend’s baptism ceremony and celebration for their 3 very cute sons. I will not be posting their photos on my blog but after the celebration I headed down to Melva’s nail store to meet the girl for some after dinner snacks. Well, after dinner for me and dinner for her.

I was absolutely craving for the Japanese salads at Tampopo Deli. I’m a frequent visitor there and so far almost all of my friends who’ve tried the cake, pudding and deserts there have found them to be pretty good! It was a great catch-up session with Melva and we may be working together towards something more exciting. Won’t say what so I don’t jinx it!

This Duffy traveled a long way! From the Disney Park in USA to Japan and finally Singapore. It’s a constant companion in my car cause my dog louis doesn’t like me hugging anything with 2 eyes, a nose and a mouth that is fluffier than he is. I feel absolutely Disney-fied in this pic as my vintage wash blue Mickey tee is also from Disney World. I bought a pink version for Jolene. :)

I’ve actually had it for quite a few months now but never thought of taking photos of it or with it till a pal recently mentioned wanting to see how the size of the bear compares to me. It’s the largest official Duffy that is available for sale in Disneyland. For those who who have no clue on the Disney bear, well, it’s the teddy bear that Minnie sew for Mickey to accompany him on his travels when they are apart. Ain’t that a sweet thought?

Was invited previously by Regina to the La Senza Lingere Fashion show at Zouk to preview their Christmas collection some time in November 2011(Yes, I’m about 2 months back dated on my blog and haven’t even gotten around to sorting my Christmas photos yet!). It was well- organized with lots of candies and treats both the fake ones on the model and the real candies throughout the event venue.

I headed there after a long day of work and didn’t have time to change into something more appropriate to the Red Sexy Christmas theme. Luckily I was already in a red dress so I guess that counts for something right? Anyways’ Regina was totally dressed to theme :)

Just a snapshot taken with Sushi’s “new” iphone cause she had to go for a one-to-one phone exchange.
